Get outa here Snottie we bout to have a full blown war

lol. No war just friendly banter 

Lol had no idea that randomness was gonna relate to a current convo

I will say this, I have played casually in AM90's and have tripped/fell numerous times, have played in Kobes with no issues except maybe support, I've played in Retro 8's and have had the best games, the straps give that lockdown feel.

These shoes arent enhancing your skills, they just give you a little more confidence as to what you can do on the court...cuts, jumps, running etc.

There are kicks that are holy for small players, and kicks that are holy for big players...different shoes = different results

It wont be that ONE specific shoe works for everyone, which is why the market is so huge

 
lmao at NT rooks going in on @NYC757

patiently waiting for the red 4KBs to hit general release

 
damn NYC in a 2v1 situation

Ya'll really think Nike goes back to 'fix' the mold? It seems like it would be a bit of a tedious task

Probably during the R&D phase but I doubt it once they hit production, too costly. 

 
Anyone try the clear coat on the FTB heel? 

Suggestions for a type of clear coat to use would be greatly appreciated. I want to wear my FTBs but scared the date will rub off....middle finger to Nike for not stitching it

Your local art supply will have what you need. Angelus has "finisher" which is what they call clear coat, Id recommend matte and get duller cuz it will be shiny with just the matte finish alone.

Props and repped thank. Ordered both tinker and CD pairs, and they are 21.99 on the footsites with free shipping as opposed to $26 on Nike.com

NDC is ripping us off

Anyone feel Nike dropped the ball on Kobe 11s for sizing? I mean I've bought 2 pairs. One is 10.5 and the other is a 10. The 10.5 are way to long and have to much toe space even with thick socks and the 10 is a little tight on my little toes but length is fine. It shouldn't be that different between half sizes.

One of the only flaws

Yes, sizing for me is all over the place. Some 12's fit just fine and some needed a 12.5

 

[kingjay718]

I have narrow feet and I love a shoe that fits like a glove. So this shoe's sizing works for me. Unlike the Lebron 12,

I'm in the same boat. I have really wide feet, so I usually go a half size up. These still fill tight width-wise but I have all this excess toe room.

 

[redraider806]

Beauty is Pain... lol

 

[Naruto]

im not the happiest about the width either. When I plant my foot laterally, my pink toe runs into the midsole

 

[macstizo]

the 9 was the best for the wide footers

 

[SNEAKEATER_619]

Yeah traction is not that great. Guessing these really are more on the causal side. Great for the gym though.

 

[timelessflight]

I have no size issues with the 11s and I wear a size 14. I currently have Achilles, ASG, and BL

[8blackmamba24]

My Eulogy's and Bruce lees fit TTS and my feet are more on the wide side for surely..ems might be a problem though I'm hearing they fit more snug idk I'll find out when my mamba days come.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I have the Parker's reserved if I want them. Not sure though. Hmmm.
