In NYC ppl wear I's but mostly if you're in sneaker stores, soho, or near a store on RD. I have yet to see anyone wearing these.

@dimez81 that's a difficult size to secure, what sites do you usually shop on? I never understood why Nike changed up their Mens sizing.

Yes they did. In 2003 Nike took size 6.5 and size 7 away from being Mens sizes. They turned them into Youth sizes. While there are some size 6.5 & 7 shoes that can be found in Mens, they are extremely rare (specifically in the Air Jordan).

Which is exactly what I said, however 99% of Jordan's released in size 7 are a 7y and are priced as GS code and have the lesser quality than the Mens 7. Hence why I originally said Nike (Jordan Brand in particular) changed the sizing. Before 2003 Youth stopped at size 6 and Mens started at 6.5. Youth now stops at 7 and finding a Mens 7 is like finding a needle in a haystack.

I understand what you are saying and I'm saying a 7 mens still get produced. Some shoes even get the 6 men's treatment. I've only seen urban accounts get those sizes tho. Places like footlocker tend to get men's sizes starting at a 7.5.
I agree tho that it's not a ton of that size range around and they tend to sell very quickly.

Def diggin these, been wearing em the last couple days. Color is cool the way it changes in different settings.. it looks blue, green and purple.
Only gripe is, my pair ended up having different feels on each toebox. One is super soft which creases like crazy, and the other is stiff which has that single crease in the middle. I've gotten 1s with mixed materials before, but it's pretty weird on the toe. My 1st pair of SBBs is the same way tho. Oh well, may grab a backup and beat these.

Wore mine for the first time today. As my first NA 1, these were surprisingly comfortable.

Maybe you wear them to other games but why wouldn't you wear UNCs to the big rivalry game?

Fair question. I wore the only UNC's I have (AJ 2 Lows) to the game at dook and we lost. Thought I'd switch it up. Now if I can snag a pair on Tuesday of the 31 lows then I'll be wearing those next time.

Mens sizes 7-15 definitely get produced, many accounts typically don't buy them along with 14/15 since not very popular. Most fringe aka smaller sizes can be find outside of North America. With that said, these are nice and look good with white laces but i passed on them because my local store didn't have small than a sz8 and i need 7.5. Sometime i'll get a sz8 if i reallyyyyyy want them but i guess i didn't reallyyyyyyy want these.

Jordan changed their sizing in the early 2000s I believe. They used to get produced down to a men's size 6, both new models and the first run of retros. I'm not sure why they do this when Nike retros all go down to a 6. I hate going into national chain shoe stores cause they always say the lowest men's size is an 8 when it's not true. I would know all about this because I wear a size 6. [emoji]128517[/emoji] So 99% of the time I have to do my sneaker shopping online. If Jordan changes the sizing back to how it was in the mid 90s, I would start copping Js again.
