Still torn on what Big Bubble size to get between 10.5 and 11. I have most of my AM1s in 10.5 but they don't all feel the same. Curious for some POVs of people who have the Men's Big Bubble based on these:
2018 Atmos Animal 10.5 - Good with medium-thin socks
2018 White/Red Restock 10.5 - A bit tight
2021 CLOT Kiss of Death 10.5 - Good with thick socks, could probably do a 10
Noise Aqua Patta 10.5 - Good with medium-thin socks
Rush Maroon Patta 10.5 - A bit tight
Concepts Heavy 10.5 - Good
Grey/Blue Kasina 11 - Too big

Edit: Length-wise 10.5 is ideal, but it's the width that does me in sometimes.
 
Talk about a paradox. How can a shoe be simultaneously 28 and 27.5 cm long?

In all seriousness, I’m going to try to cop 9.5M on Sunday. For NTers who have copped both M and W equivalent sizes chime in.

The +1.5 has been orthodoxy, but I’m open minded 😂
I have other womens sized pairs (12w) that fit like all of my other normal 10.5m mens pairs so id say go for both versions to better your chances at getting.
 
I LOVED how the AM1 based swaps from the most recent GOVRN batch turned out, so I debating on these for the next batch:

Black/Grey Challenger OG
Challenger OG X Air Max 1 - Black Grey Toe.jpg

Laser Blue Challenger OG
Challenger OG X Air Max 1 - UNC Alt.jpg

Gatorade Waffle Trainer 2
Waffle Trainer 2 X Air Max 1 - Gatorade.jpg

Safari Internationalist
Internationalist X Air Max 1 - Safari Purple.jpg


The batch that I shipped out earlier in the week has four AM1-soled projects.

Go with a 10.5 👍 width feels the same as all my other pairs. The top of the forefoot is slightly snugger that previous but that should break in with wear.

Has anyone made an IRL custom of a Flyknit Racer upper with the AM1 sole? I remember years ago I saw a photoshop of it and I honestly thought they looked dope. I feel maybe GOVRN has but I haven't seen it
 
Womens shoes are made narrower which is why they recommend 1.5 size up for womens. But if you're comparing strictly length, its a 1 size difference.

Speaking of narrower, maybe I should get a womens pair so my AM1s arent looking like crocs in the toebox.
I thought it was only me. I’m definitely going to attemp a reshape
 
I’m 50 and remember my 8th grade teacher had these and just remembered looking at his feet everyday 😂 maybe that’s why I love these so much , nostalgia is a SOB

I’m 47 and my friend in 7th grade had a pair and I stared at them everyday in Social Studies.

The part where the bag and poly meet slowly disintegrated all year to the point that the airbag popped.

I’ve wanted a pair since 1987… that’s a long time.
 
Man, I always save laces and all the accessories that come with shoes, but I was in Brooklyn in 2017 so always threw out the boxes. I have one box from those days jumbled with all of the laces / stickers / hang tags. Jealous of you dudes with a separate room with stacks of boxes, that ish be $800 in extra rent in Fort Greene 😂
BK stand up!
