It’s definitely a shoe made for basketball tunnel fit pics, not solely for on court performance. Jerry adopted basketball style, a football boot and the evolution of Nike 1 FoG.

as far as I can make out.... not at all for on court performance. Off feet, they're a good looking disaster. On feet... I'd regret buying em.

I usually wear between a men’s U.S. 10-10.5 IN JORDAN 1’S with a medium to wide foot, I copped both pairs in 11. Glad I did! PERFECT FIT! I think they’re very comfortable. Yesterday I wore the all black pair for the entire day, with no discomfort whatsoever. Sorry about your experience. I’m very happy with my kicks
@CanYouSayPao 7 ай бұрын
Jerry did mention and recommended to go half a size up specifically on the basketball shoes and go true to size on the other models that dopped. He also said that the next drop is gonna be leaning more towards performance. I don't think these were meant for actually playing basketball because of all the points you mentioned. Great review as always. Can't wait for you to test the actual performance oriented pairs next!

How do they fit, does one have to go 1/2 size up from your true size? I have noticed that for adidas I have to go 1/2 size up. But being that this model looks like it mold to your foot, I wounded if a full size up is better. Cheers and congrats on your purchase.

Design wise I think this is an incredibly underrated sneaker. I'm really surprised about the hate I've seen for not just these shoes, but the entire collection. The apparel is okay, but aesthetically I think these are incredible and were a must-cop for me so I'm glad they were an easy pickup. Fortunately, I sized up because I heard Jerry Lorenzo say it was probably within your best interest to do so and that was 100% the right call. The shoe may not be ideal for performance like they're trying to push, but I think they look cool as hell and that's all that really matters to me.

I had to return mine because they were absolutely destroying the arches of my feet (I have flatter feet). No give whatsoever in the midsole. I could walk for maybe about 2-3 minutes before I was in pain. I went up half a size and my pinky toes were fine but the underfoot comfort is terrible. Also not breathable at all. Maybe it's also because my feet were in pain but my feet were heating up as if I was wearing a boot, if even. Love how they look but I won't trade comfort for style - not anymore anyway lmao.

Whether its performance or just standing around, Adidas has millions of data points on the human foot, yet they don't know what shape feet are or what "size" means? Start with a last of the average foot and make the shoe fit that, if you make a size 10 shoe that runs a whole size small, call it a 9. It's not rocket surgery!

@alexsantiago5488 7 ай бұрын
I got them couple days ago. I got a wide, flat foot like you. Plus short toes. I got a full size up (10) from my normal size (9) and they fit. There's a little extra length but its kinda dead space since its so narrow and pointed (almost like a dress shoe.) I can wiggle my toes in the size 10, i think if i got a 9.5 i couldn't. They are just bad fitting, but not uncomfortable. Def NOT performance, but they are high end build quality. They are made for casual, and made for the look. And for that they work if you got the coin.

@ll1ll1ll1ll1ll 7 ай бұрын
My pair arrived a few hours after this video released. And I can attest that everything Chris said is 100% on point: this is a huge, heavy, overbuilt, stiff, ill-fitting, ludicrously impractical brick of a shoe. It makes the T-Mac 5 feel like a ballet slipper. Also, while I've always had good luck with adidases fitting me tts, I'm very grateful I ordered this a 1/2 size up, and I probably wouldn't have been unhappy with a full size up, it's remarkable how small it runs. In part because it doesn't seem to have been designed around a human foot at all. As I understand, Jerry Lorenzo considers this shoe more a prototype and a learning experience than anything else. I buy that, this really feels more like a concept that it does a commercial product. That said, I have countless comfortable shoes, I have countless others I can play basketball in, so I'm not terribly disturbed that this shoe is uncomfortable and useless for basketball. I was strictly interested in how unique and how of the moment it is, so I got exactly what I paid for. Also worth noting this shoe feels like a Mack truck could run over it and not damage it in the least.
