My quick review echoes his about comfort (I would grab for other shoes if going strictly for comfort, but this one is still great for all day wear and doesn't leave any discomfort for me at the end of the day). I've worn a few times all day and once for a casual bike ride. Plan to do some casual hiking in them later this month. I tied off/cut the laces and burned them so I don't have to lace them and can just slip them on/off. I also tuck the long red pull tab on the tongue. The right one will stay tucked, but the left not as much. I'm a true 9.5 and the length works for me in that size, but the shoe does feel big all around. Not sure what a 9 would be like, but I'm glad I didnt risk it. The materials on the shoe really make it worth the effort and expense to me.
If you had to compare the comfort of the Mars yard to another nike model, which one comes closest? I just recently sold most of my shoes and got a couple more to sell, maybe keep 5-7 on rotation so this will get worn pretty often. Yea there are more comfortable shoes out there but this was one of those releases that I really wanted. Thanks for responding. Another NT mentioned that the mesh doesn't seem like it would last long, what's your input on that? The midsole and the suede looks good tho. I'm a true US9.5 as well but my feet are somewhat narrow/med. I think I'll stick to a 9.5 eventho I read it's somewhat loose in width. Thanks again for responding. Im sure I'll pick one up from Goat or Stockx, but just wanted more input on it because resale isn't cheap (been a while since I paid resale) and YouTube doesnt have any decent reviews.
The sole on these makes them a different feel to walk in but not in a bad way. I wear a ton of flyknits, janoskis, and prestos. No real close comparisons in those, maybe a free model or that chukka flyknit boot they did for the Winter Olympics? As for the mesh, only time and conditions will tell. Seems reinforced underneath, so I'm not worried about it.
I mean tom said the mesh is suppose to last It doesn't seem like it won't? I guess if you took a knife to them and intentionally tried to cut them then maybe it wouldn't But regular wear I don't think anything odd should happen Tom made these to last unlike the 1.0 material A shoe to compare to.....mmm idk maybe the presto just more firm? Maybe a jordan 1? Just think of a shoe without any cushion really. Without zoom/lunar/boost It's very firm. Like I said not uncomfortable but nothing I would brag about It's right in the middle You can definitely wear everyday and be okay
NIKECraft Mars Yard 2.0 / Tom Sachs Spoiler Here is the "burned" lace tips that was on one of my pairs
The burned Lace tips actually look good. If they came with extra laces I would totally burn one pair.
Been a while since I paid resale and this was just one of those I can't stop thinking about, and sold some that I lost interests in so why not?
got my hands on a pair finally. went down half size to 9.5 as a natural 10 in nike, which fit perfectly
Ended up copping from GOAT for $700, the pair won't be here till Monday. Sucks to pay resale but I really wanted these especially since they go with my NFL team colors. I trust GOAT's authentication check but are there certain things/areas of the shoe I should look for once they arrive to double check they legit? Thanks in advance and I'll post pics on Monday for a LC.
