I bought my usual size 9 for Kobe's for the mambacurials. I feel like i should have gotten 9.5. Little tight after playing in them.
 
I think the Elites are running small for a lot of people because a lot of people wear their wrong size in the first place, without knowing it.

A shoe should breath and have room, and most people prefer their shoes snug and fitting, for a few reasons.

1. Less creasing
2. It seems they look better
3. They've never been properly fitted for a shoe

So when the Elite comes out, a naturally "snug fitting" shoe, it feels too small for some folks

^this

a TTS shoe should always have room in front of the toe. 
 
I learned this far too late in life :lol: been buying 9s as long as I can remember and found out I was actually a 9.5 ...even 10 in alot of shoes. My quality of life has drastically improved after starting over in a new size.

...but yeah, I had to get a .5 size up in the highs but I have a wide foot. Not sure if the lows fit the same.

Same thing happened to me actually. Was going with 10s for the longest time and just thought the shoes I was buying needed breaking in, went to 10.5 and made a world of difference.

Nah, I'm in the clear on this one. I wasn't terribly interested in shoes at the time I was buying size 10's. So unless you were striking out on one pair of Nike Free Runs per year, my hands are clean.
 
as a stand alone colorway just dedicating itself to soccer it's a very nice shoe, even with the name and theme, the problem comes into trying to forcefully tie the shoes into mercurials, but there are like 4 diff ver. of mercurials that you can buy off NDC so again why can't the mambacurials be a 5th ver that is diff from the other 8 as the other 5 are diff from each other?
