That's similar to my shoe-sizing too.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the OG's are a size 10 and definitely fit half a size / one size too small, so i went half a size up with these retro's
im usually a 10 in AF1's / Roshe's, 10.5 in AM's
the padding is pretty thick (specially the collar/tongue) so they were nice'n snug with the zip pulled up,
upgraded the slider to semi-automatic (locks when lowered) ,the old ones were crap
forefoot area is wider than the OG's so that's an improvement for me
however these don't feel as close to the ground as the og's , the insole's are now removable
that's all for now im goin to bed
So that means you went for 10.5? I'm still debating on 10.5 (my prefered size) or 11 (playing it safe with all the padding).

i went with 10.5, the padding is thicker but the shoe itself is a tad wider than the og so i reckon you'll be alright with your normal size in these

Im not complaining... Longer wait = Longer production run = More pairs = Easier to get

Let's all be patient, folks.

To build up some hype like every other shoe they sell but that's not gonna happen.

these will not fly off shelves (but now that i said it they will) so for a good discount i might cop for work beaters but they'd have to be around $50

Pretty obvious nike is holding back on the RD trying to manufacture some hype before the release....but its not going to happen like they want it to.
These are a nostalgic shoe with a core consumer base....they not really marketable to the newer gen of sneaker heads. Full shroud upper with just a swoosh? These kids want the loudest, most decadent shoes possible these days, hence probably why we saw the agassi patterned cw, and will see some very ZESTY cw's to follow.
The gap widens and widens....

I know that the carbon fiber won't be on this shoe but will that drastically change the performance of the shoe? I want to double up on these so I can ball in a pair but how well will the material that replaced carbon fiber be?

smh and the glass composite plate doesn't even extend to the midsole like on the OG.
Doesn't change the performance but it's not as durable as cf.

still no release dat, what is going on. they throw sneakers out the sky with quicker release dates, they must not want these to sell well for the first batch,
