My bad bro I should have said "wide feet"

My dad and I wear the same size but he always has to end up going up a half size in most sneakers because his feet are so much wider. Sometimes a full size

Lol no worries. Yeah I've always been a 12 and I've been wearing Nikes since I was 16. Now that I'm 43 I'm noticing while I can still do a 12 in a Jordan/Nike retros, some shoes I have to size up. AM95 12.5/13. Air 180 13. These the 12.5 was still a bit tight especially with thicker socks. The 13 was just right.
 
still think the khaki and olive pair are the runners up. plats still undefeated. if the GR blacks are loaded with 3M then ill cop. 
 
I like that grey/green fake cw better than the actual dark green cw based on pics lol. Too bad Nike doesn't appear to be releasing one like that officially. Not sure about the midnight Navy's, some pics they look fuego and others more like a dark purple which Im not a fan of.
 
Yeah, it has stretch zones on the skirt of the toebox along with the tongue and bits of the midfoot areas. If you have normal or narrow width, give it a bit of time. Do you commonly wear thick socks?
I wear Darn Tough's ultralight merino socks, which are pretty thin. Going sockless, they fit fine just about everywhere except the midfoot which feels a little narrow. But, I'm flatfooted so it may have something to do with it.

Ah got it. I'm guessing you may have a bit of a wider width then! It might be better to go 1/2 size up, but that's just my guess!
 
Anyone who did the vapormax ID got there IDs in yet?

I did the IDs the day it was available and they're still working on it.

I'm not even that excited anymore for the sneakers because it's almost been a month.
Also still waiting on mine, and I keep debating whether I made the right choice with the Volt airbag colorway and multicolor upper
 
Just one last update before I post a review either next weekend or the weekend after, but I'm up to near 16 miles now and counting. Today's run was actually an unexpected longer-distance run (5.3 miles, 6 if we're including the warm-up jog to the starting point), and there'll be a review on how the shoe performed for distance. I'm honestly not sure whether a potential total of 27-28 miles is enough to warrant a review for next weekend compared to about nearly 40 on the weekend after, but either way, I cannot wait to provide you guys my thoughts!

In the meantime, Nike has to stop rolling out dope colorways... I don't know how I will save up with this **** happening.
This is something that I forgot to consider. Being that the bubble are obviously clear will the discoloration be apparent when you're wearing the shoe? Will it give it a dirty look?

Not exactly. It only occurs primarily in the areas closet to the center of the feet rather than the outer skirt of the shoes and directly on the bottom, too. Everything is still a clean look, even after 19 miles in. I was messing around with "WDYW" pictures, and as you can see, it's still clear! Yes, I was wearing running pants during this, so please do not mind the PJ/ninja-style coverage. :lol: Sunlight still peaks through the Air units clearly.

I'm not a huge fan of the pure platinum color by itself but it goes best with the clear sole to me. I'll reserve judgement until I see them all in person but from pics I don't think these other colorways work as well with the clear sole. For me it's still OG > Plats > Black > everything else. I most intrigued to see the grey/gold colorway from the NikeLab shoot or other colors without a clear sole.

Been wearing these for a week straight, so much more comfortable now that they are broken in. They almost hug my feet
 
Lunar_Loner Lunar_Loner - I think there might be a colorway like that coming out, but I could be completely wrong.

In other news, I'll actually be providing my detailed review this Saturday (or possibly Sunday). If I'm correct, I should be tallying up about 28 or 29 miles in. I was planning to go for more and wait for the weekend after, but it seems like it'll be raining those days.

Plot twist: it's probably going to rain tomorrow morning, and I'm still planning on running in the VaporMaxes.
 
Wore my plats for casual day at work. First time I wore them. I liked them a lot. They felt like wearing cleats and you could tell they were gripping the ground.
 
Did you guys go with your racer/ub size? (wide footer here, i go .5 up on racer/ub1.0) Contemplating on buying the triple blacks but that price thooo.

To be honest I went a full size up from my UB 1.0. I didn't plan to but the store selling the triple black only had an size up and I couldn't pass it up.

They feel great. I originally bought my pure platinum in my tts and have since sold them because of how restricted they are in comparison.

I bought my tts and they were too tight. I tried a half up and still tight. I went to a 13 platinum and just wore them yesterday and they felt great. As for the triple blacks they are fire. Make sure you know your size before you get them. I happen to be downsizing my collection and from money Ive sold on goat I went ahead and splurged. They are really really nice.

I went TTS and I'd say TTS length is perfect, but you could go .5 up. The issue is the midfoot area especially if you've got broad feet.

For your width, it's recommended to go 1/2 size up. The maximum amount of stretch may just be a bit shy to accommodate the width fully.
 
So I normally wear 10.5 in most Nikes, but my foot flattens out. So in this case, would you say a size 11 would work better? Of course if the Nike Atlanta store gets the colorway I want in June I can go try them on myself.
