line the soles up, one shoe may be longer than the other. nike qc isn't the best. i've exchanged neo turq racers and huaraches in the past because one shoe was actually longer than the other.

Personally I'm a true 10/10.5 (in between sizes). I usually go with 10 in Adidas. I am: 10 Stan Smith 9.5 Primeknit Stan Smith 9.5 OG Tubular/Qasa High (fit similar imo) 10 Retro Boost - this one's a little tricky, the 10 is a tad loose but the 9.5 would likely be too snug. Never had the...

qasa definitely looks smaller than the vans but not 2 sizes smaller. probably better to line the back of heel of both shoes up if you were trying to show a length comparison .. qasa high soles jut out in the back.

still a good savings from retail if it's just 20.

Keep us posted if you do get fees and how much.

I think these things are hit or miss, but from what I've heard if the declared value is over $200 USD you may get hit with customs fees. There are times when people think they haven't got hit with fees and then a month later ups/fedex delivers a painful bill.

Has the sole changed much on the Tubular X models? Have a pair of the original consortium Tubulars and I'm not a fan of the sole, comfort wise. Very stiff feeling.

Looks like they're arriving soon according to this page...might want to keep your eyes peeled: http://www.adidas.com/us/stan-smith---primeknit-nm/B27152.html

they're different models...triple blacks, triple whites, reflective blacks, reflective whites. you can get a better look at the all blacks and all whites here: http://www.adidas.co.uk/stan-smith-primeknit-shoes/AF4451.html it's unfortunate that it seems like they all come in whole UK sizes...

any word on when the all white primeknit stan smiths (not the reflective pack)  drop state side?

Thanks .. wow did not realize they fit that much larger vs. standard stans.

how did you size in these models? .5 down from your regular stan smith size?

^ cool greys are cool, had a pair in the past ... the synthetic suede they use makes it a bit heavier than the other colorways using mesh. the new tech fleece model coming out is very similar to the cool greys in terms of color blocking.

to me racers are considerably more comfortable than trainers. i don't know if it makes a difference but my personal experience is with the black/white padded trainers. trainers offer better stability though, there were talks earlier of using racers in the gym but i don't think they're...

yeah kind of disappointing the other material looks better imo. scream greens got the good treatment as well.
