I take it it's not breathable then? They're so nice I don't think I would ball in them anyways lol

About like the original colorways, so yeah, not very. I want to play in EVERYTHING, but probably not these.

Really? Very cool!!! Will make getting them a little easier. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Richards getting a collaboration? That's a first. Hope it means an easy cop.

Unfortunately for me, neither of which ship internationally .

Well, at least I have now ordered some BrandBlack shoes:

No Name S
Gambetto
Tennis (All three in my usual 11.5US) and

JC 2.5 low (12US, couldn't get my true to size 11.5US. Hopefully 12 isn't too big - probably won't be good to play in, too loose up front I would assume, might have to just use them as a casual shoe)
August IIs (Down half a size to 11US - hopefully they're not too small).

All shoes are in the Black colorways (I like All Black colorways)

I'm so glad that Revolve ship internationally, and that they also have pretty decent pricing. I now just need them to get in more size 11.5s across the board. Would have been awesome if I could have bought from Finishline, Di@ks or somewhere like that as they have more of my size and deep discounts.

I think that is a pretty decent hall to start with. I'm now working on getting a pair of the Future Legends and Gamas.

Ice, check nightwings Instagram. He just posted a list of the retailers getting these and there are a few overseas

OK, thanks. I'll have a look, see if any of those retailers are viable for me.

Question though, how do the jetlon and black foam hold up? Any bottoming out issues?

jetlon on the jc2 will probably bottom out faster than the black foam on the jc3 just based on the fact that the black foam in encased on the jc3.  I prefer playing in the jc2 than the jc3 tho, just my honest opinion.

Which do you guys prefer, the JC2 mids or lows?

 

[deezyvsop2]

Lows and I haven't even played in them.

One of the downsides of pure knit is that it noticeably stretches.  My mids don't have any containment in the forefoot anymore, and that was only after about 45 games.  I play in most of my other shoes at least 80-90 games before they become unplayable, usually because the cushioning dies out.

Obviously the lows might have their own set of issues.  Honestly, I don't think the JC2 is that great overall, aside from the very good Jetlon cushioning and comfort.  Not a fan of the transition.

Which do you guys prefer, the JC2 mids or lows?

mids=casual. Lows=court. I would opt for the 2.5 if you want a mid for the court

Nordstrom Rack just received a FSR of almost every recent model (Ether, No Name, JC2, JC2.5, August, Raven, Lando)

I been looking for another pair of JC3 in black in a 10. Anyone try out the Ethers? How do they compare comfort wise between the JC3?

I use them for casual, but I don't have the JC3s. Seem pretty comfy. Kinda high off the ground though

 

[deputy cadillac]

JC3 and Ether have the same cushioning, midsole, outsole. Only difference is the upper.

That's a very good question. How does Jetlon/Jetlon EVL compare to other top foam cushions such as Boost and Micro G in regards to longevity? Can anyone give some insight?

Torn between the Northern Lights and the BHM JC2s. Will play ball in them. Any suggestions?

 

[thapointguy]

I pick BHM.
