You think there's a little wiggle room for us wide-footed folk or are they narrow in the mid-foot?
Also, this looks slightly different from the one listed on adidas.com. Is it a footlocker exclusive?

They might be Foot Locker exclusive, I haven't really seen them anywhere else. They're also $100 retail at FL, and those colors on Adidas.com are $110 retail.
They have these 3 colors:

Feel like the strap is too thick or something.
Yep, pretty much. Going for that same look in an affordable and obtainable fashion.

I'm not feeling the texture on the straps for the Foot Locker exclusives. I like these better if I were to pick a pair but these probably look better in pictures than in person IMO.

Yeah, I like the suede texture better, but I"m not feeling the red in the back. Makes them looker cheaper.
Edit: The women versions are the best of both worlds in my opinion. I don't know why they made them women exclusive. Not feminine looking shoes at all.

Anyone here actually like the yellowing on Jordans? Atleast for me I enjoy the look on V's.
i think they look horrible and look like piss
the thirst is real fam. We gon take the L anyways

Aha well I can understand that sentiment but I really enjoy the aged look on the Air Jordan 3 heel tabs and on the Jordan V's fishnet.
I hate it on 1's, though they rarely yellow.
I don't hate the yellowing, but I wish Jordans didn't do it.
I wonder if any of those restorations products work.
Didn't they do something similar with the 350 recently?

So sad I can't cop the 5s. I shouldn't have procrastinated on fixing my car. Stupid CEL.
Yeah, I forgot my brother's birthday is this weekend. Just bought him a nice gift so I'm out for the 5's =[

I was looking for a new black pair of shoes.. Should have went with the black version of that instead of this https://rockcitykicks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/adidas-tubular-nova-pkblack-grey . The outer sole looks cheap ass hell in person. Nothing like in pictures where there is a bit of gloss in it. Too bad too I bought it from oneness.I picked these up on my lunch break at Foot Locker. They also had the Uncaged Ultra Boosts in stock, but I decided to pass for now.
The suede is nice. I'm thinking about going back to pick them up in black.

I just got the MC ultra boosts. Can't wait to see what they look like in person.

Hmm resell isn't looking too bad right now. The usual 100$ uptick before release. Should drop. Think I'll be able to cop somewhere down the line.

even though she wanted it before
Sounds like she might be trying to do a surprise cop for you, optimistically lol.

Doesn't seem to be any visual features that sets those xxxi's apart from any generic shoe. If it weren't for your post I'd figure they were some JR Smiths sponsored by MJ.
you're probably right. but we must try.

so pretty
I went TTS @ 13. Definitely a little roomy but thicker socks with a tighter lace and they are just fine. No 12.5 and 12s were too snug.

If it were JR Smiths own nike line I probably would have copped it.

Man those are sick!!! Wish they didn't come out so close with the 5's otherwise I would've copped!

Nike took July off but here's the next Racer release.
Any jordan 9 fans? The kobe PE 9's look great IMO.

Got cyber monday's finally. Put some leather laces on them. I am pleased.
the more i look at them the more i think they shouldnt have included the swoosh. it just looks too busy. hopefully they do a pair with it Black and Yellow for the fade.

FIre, how much you get em for?

115 plus shipping.
Laces were like 15 or something off etsy. I ordered gold tipped laces originally , but apparently they were sold out so I got silver instead.

Solid price! I wonder if outlets still carry these joints.

Man the red uncaged ultra boosts are really calling to me.
I have too many shoes already though.
