I wore my infrared 12s for the first time for an extended period of time.. Im wearing them rather loose and they are staying on my feet nicely. They did happen to fall asleep and possibly cramp on me. At one point, some forefoot pain. But all of it seemed to go away at some point in time.. Not sure if its me adjusting to the shape and make of the shoe and if itll get better or worse. But I would maybe try to keep a 13 just in case..
12.5s would literally be perfect, so we are in a unique position.. If you can get that 1/2 size up, you may be PERFECT.. Staying true to size may have some initial issues but could stretch. Full size up may be perfect to wear and throw an arch support in.. So either way you look at it, don't miss out on these over some "size" issues... that goes for everyone.

Just got mine in from Exit 36 (ordered Wed afternoon, delivered Fri)
Few observations:
-Haven't seen this type of leather on any recent retro (the white parts, at least). Very nice.
-Paint is all pretty clean, but the "Nike Air" is a little slopy
-Fit true to size for me
-Navy is obvious in direct light, looks black to me in low-light/shade
Thanks for all the help guys

I want back to the first page and started reading through the thread, I was really trying to figure out when the title got changed, but it's pretty wild to see it go from a Do it Right to ughh did you see what they're putting an Auto sole on to They're coming to ughh they're terrible quality and not in the OG colors to WHOA.
So many ups and downs. I'm glad this one is going out on a high note.
Quick question now is, does anyone have a high-res version of the Do It Right image that was posted several times early on?

I actually started this thread as a petition for Nike to bring back the trainer sc II, changed it once the first samples hit in 2010, and then just changed it again the other day

Are these still available for retail anywhere? I didn't want to bother Wally if there weren't. Looking for a size 13 in the Infrareds. Might cop the Citrons too.

Man, I've been making my calls and I can't find a size 13 in either colorway. My local store said that they're getting them, but they haven't received them yet.

about 4 hours ago kicksonfire.com said, "We really hate to be the ones to bring you the bad news, but Nike has officially stated that the Nike Trainer SC II Infrared & Citron are delayed until further notice. We are not sure why, and Nike didn’t really give to much information in their tweet from last night. However, you may be albe to pick-up a pair at a local spot. Stay close, and we will update you as soon as we get more info."

To echo what some have been saying, my vote goes for true to size (if you do not have a wider than normal foot). If the leather-quality of this shoe is going to be the new standard for trainers (and retros in general), I will eagerly anticipate future releases.

I wasn't able to go to St. Alfred today because of work, but a friend was willing to go for me. He was third in line, by then they only had the citrons in my size. Seems like they didn't get that many. I should have another pair of citrons and infrareds coming from a hook up. I can't wait to get these shoes on my feet.

I appreciate the accolades.. All of this wouldnt be possible without a select few NTers who helped myself out. Which in turn enabled me to be rested and content with my purchases, and then help others.. Believe me, if I was in any other position, I may be hogging up some of the source boutiques to myself. But since a select few helped me out, it gave me the chance to help others... That's what NT should be all about.
One Twitter response I saw stated that this guy struck out time and time again with different shops, and then one finally had his size. A shop that had been selling these a good week and a half before release.. So don't give up the calling and emailing. Your pair may be out there..
ive told a few others. This is like a superbowl event for a cross trainer type fan. Whatever nirvana I am feeling, it's only smart to spread it out. If these had *%*&$ quality, I wouldnt be helping in this fashion. But since we know just what we're getting, everyone who wants a pair should be able to get one.
Did I mention WestNYC as a place who had them as well?

well, i might have a slightly smaller foot than you, but it sounds like we're both a true 12.5, which really sucks, as they don't make most shoes in that size anymore these days.
i got a good bit of room in these size 13', so i'm gonna give the 12's a shot and make a decision.
here's a pic of how much room i have in the back of the shoe if i slide my foot all the way up front:
it's a good bit of room.
providing i don't have any width issues with the 12, i think it's gonna fit a lil' more snug but still comfortable, and not slip on my heel as bad when i lace loose... that's what i'm hoping anyways...
nikes, and shoes in general fluctuate so much in size lately, being our size is constantly a guessing game if you should go with a 12 or 13.

Proto, you should be alright with the 12s. I could barely get that much heel separation in my sz13s, And I felt those fit just a bit big. Perception of what fits right vs. reality can also throw you off. Via your photos, cut the visible infrared insole color seen in half, and thats about where I stand with these in a sz13.. So you might fit just a tad smaller. Although I find heel slippage like that, not to be a totally great indication. But if we are going by that, and my sz13s fit a bit smaller than yourself, you should definitely be alright with 12s. 90% confidence that youll be satisfied with that size, provided what you have shown me
But you're right. Over the years they have fluctuated in size across all genres. Jordan IIIs, 11.5s fit more like 12.5 trainers.. Trainer sc high 12s fit more like 12s or 13s.
