Nah man, they take a really long time to break in. What you have to do is take out the laces and wear them, night and day feeling. Mine are still in good shape.
I agree. These felt like bricks. Currently on my project list because the sole separated but I'm in no rush to fix them
Mine are still DS, but idk man. I have 2010 Concords and I went a half size up with no issues. Quality on these on the other hand is a different story.2009 space jams
I think that's the winner.. I feel like I had to break my toes to fit in the shoe..
Takes more than that imo. I had foams from 2001 and 2002 and they hurt like hell for a long time, only when I broke them in good, they all of a sudden felt better (around 15-20 wears in)
I agree, this retro was really stiff, I still have them and they are pretty much beaters now anyway
I remember, yeah OG XII's hurt my heel, even more so since I got my taxi's around Christmas and the cold weather did my foot no favors. Flightposites take a long time to break in as well, but when they are broken in they are really comfortable.OG Playoff XIIs dug into my achilles something awful. Bled through a few socks...
Then some generic Nikes that kinda looked like the XVIs I got to ball in. Worst. Shoe. Ever. The toe cap was so flimsy it would bend and dig into my toes with every step.
Cosign Flightposites. Eggplants hurt my arches after a while but I still wear them. Too clean and durable
Gotta know your size, sometimes, especially now we are at a disadvantage of knowing when to go TTS, or go half size up/down. You have to be familiar with certain shoes to know when you can switch between the three. It comes with experience imo.
Whaaaaat? These are heavy but are still one of the most comfortable pairs I own. wouldn't recommend with no show socks though.
Idk, I copped the cutting jade XI on a whim and these are surprisingly comfty. Key is to not wear no show socks.
I agree, gotta tweak a few things to your liking for them to feel like what I describe as "feet"
By far one of the worst pairs I ever tried on my feet. They cut your heel something awful. They're tight and the zipper on these sucked, I have no idea how they were so popular when they released.
honorable mentions for me: Griffey 1's (I hardly wear this pair), Mars Blackmon AJ IV, and I hear the CDP XI's were bad. For me as a general rule, go a half size up and it's not super big on your foot and it gets rid of the pinky toe issue you may have. Also, no show socks may cause a lot of issues too, just have to see how a shoe rubs your foot while you're walking/playing in your shoe.
Them lebron 9's are a no go too. Straight gabbage on my feet.

starbury went kind of hard tho. he tried to expand his line, introduced some dress shoes.
...my boy copped too. was his going out shoes, which actually made sense. u hit up a spot in the city, you gonna have drinks be spilled, getting ya feet stepped on. its best to have some beaters. dress beaters that is. idk if he interviewed with them tho..
i got some lightly used ken griffey's in my closet. recently threw em on and they feel like platform trainers. they suck lol. may donate them to Haiti, let another zo shine. they need all the help they can get on the real)

Griffey 1's were mentioned a few times here, but Im guessing yall talking about the retros.
I remember loving the og's back in '96. I tried the retros that released in 2012 and they felt awful though.

The Griffey 1s from this year feel great in my opinion, to each his own though Ive seen that shoe posted too many times to think people are exaggerating

Wish I wouldve known that before purchase, I had the silver and the eggplants and they were beautiful but the pain was too much. I bet unlacing them were a pain in the *** though

^ you could change how you lace them. It's a pain because those laces are really long but it makes them more bearable to wear

I can only speak for myself but the actual fit of the CDP 11s to me were average, I had an issue with the materials and craftsmanship though

they were pretty stiff, it felt like i was walking on cardboard. i havent worn any recent retro 11 so i cant really compare them to those but the 2000 concords were more comfortable IMO. i wish i can wear them out but the last time i wore them in the snow, i wiped out like that dude in home alone

No way he actually did this, he should know betterI remember my brother wanting to wear chucks to play pickup one day. He ended up sliding all over the court, idk what he was thinking lolI didn't owned these but I played basketball in Chuck Taylor before..
I loved my Olympic 1s, worn them almost everyday in school. But yea I agree, the soles were thin as hell.

I haven't logged in in ages but after reading this thread and these two posts specifically, I just had to login and post. My brothers...we now share a bond forever because we made the mistake of playing ball in these things and we have some stank *** big toenails now. Good god, it's like you wrote my big toenails' eulogy. They were red as hell, looked like it was bleeding under the nail at first, then they just turn black and fall off after a while. Nastiness.
I'm mad ashamed to walk around without socks on when there are people around because of how nasty the toenails look now. They're better now after several years but damn, I used to have normal big toenails! Now, they've got the thickness of two credit cards and clang when you tap on them.
Great looking shoe nonetheless, but to promote these as a basketball shoe?? The hell?Yo, let's find all people who have balled in these, snap pics of our big toenails, send them to a lawyer and bring a lawsuit against Nike. No conspiracy, my self-confidence is shot now because I can't even take my socks off around people without looking around to make sure no one is looking.

I find this hilarious that I'm finding people with the same eccentric issue as me.
My toe nails are getting much better. They actually have healed up much better the past two months. They still don't look normal though. That probably will take multiple years. They have a tint of black and all these cracks in them. It's not a smooth nail. It just has a bunch of cracks in it that are white lines.
I had pics of it when it was really bad, but I deleted them. Wish I kept them, because they were hilariously disgusting. Sending them in group chats just to piss people off were great.
And the walking around without socks thing is hilarious. Whenever I was home, my mom would always comment on how disgusting my toenails were and she'd go into this rant about them. Got roasted pretty heavy by friends as well. People would always look at me funny like I chose my nails to be like that. Honestly, I looked at those nails in pride. They were battle wounds. Looked like I went to a few wars
