Will Nike take them back even after I wore them?

Yes.

I am not trying to do anything. I actually love these shoes from a looks and cushioning standpoint. I am really contemplating cutting off part of the heal. You can form your own opinions when you wear them. Mine is not an opinion, it is a fact that my achilles is getting wrecked!!

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Only thing they have me worried about is my achilles

i still like them

 

[cle4life]

it is obvious no one at Nike or anywhere in the design process wore these around with no-shows on or they would have made changes had they wanted these to be a casual show as well.

Don’t think it’s making other people’s opinions for them, it’s more of a helpful tip & sone advice to guys.

They need to just put a thick flywire strand that hangs off the back in place all of these built in shoe horns. It would save weight, look less ridiculous and keep peoples Achilles from gettin ginsu'd up.

Wore the Peach Jams/EYBL's around the house for a few hours before playing in the them. I certainly noticed the tightness in the achilles area, but that loosen up towards the end of wearing them in the house and I did not notice it at all while playing. I wore Stance NBA socks since someone mentioned earlier to wear nicely padded socks, but don't think wearing Nike elite socks will be a problem next time.

So, I'm an old hooper with a light frame and narrow foot, so that needs to be factored in my review, which is based on one time playing in them. The cushioning was awesome, the best in a KD ever! I didn't have any containment issues, but I can't cut as hard as the young bloods anymore haha. I'm impressed with them and believe the next time I wear they will be more comfortable. We'll see if the flyknit stretches with use and the containment becomes a problem, but it wasn't last night.

If everything stays the same this will be the best KD so far.

I love the cushion, I also love the look.

I just do not love trying to get them on, and the back rubbing my foot over and over as I cut and run. I tried TTS and a half size up also, and that left room in the toe area and barely helped the heel rub.

I love the shoe, but at the price point and on the court, I believe there are better options. Big KD fan here also!

 

[gundamzaku]

Ya'll got me ready to throw in the towel lol

i planned on rocking these casually with shorts and no shows

we shall see

maybe just wear low cut ankle socks and fold them so they are flush with the top of the shoe?

 

[kaz109]

People are gonna regret buying these!
I said when I got mine that they are just bad in every way.
Returned mine the very same day they arrived.
£125 saved.

I'm on day 2 with mine and I have no ragrets......none, not even one letter

 

[kingjay718]

Loosen all the laces and slide your feet in fellas. It worked for me.

 

[fallenz3ro]

i just tried my eybl's on for a minute -- but anyone seem to think these run long?

I went TTS but i feel like for a really snug fit i might have been able to do down a half size

Half size down has been the common theme since the line went flyknit. Especially go half size if you have narrow feet.

Did they feel better the more you played in them?
I could imagine the pull tab at the back sticking in Achilles whilst playing being a major issue for me, but before that I’d still have to go through the struggle of actually getting my feet in them.
With me wearing 2 socks when playing games, scrimmage etc it was a easy decision to not keep them as they were definitely worse than the KD 9 to get on.

Again maybe the cushion set up breaks in & becomes a nice ride for playing in but straight out of box they were one of the worst. Plus it was like being in a pair of ladies high heel shoes, way to high off the court haha.

Appreciate that dude

Mine went back to Nike. Just super pissed about the lateral containment issues I had. I’m mad because I love to play in the KD line as of late and was anticipating these so much. The cushion, traction and look we’re all great. On to the KD 12 I guess.

 

[bryscooplaygrifhold]

Heel tab isn’t great but not a deal breaker casually. On court probably depends on your foot and what you do. Some reference pics for those who are wondering
