Nike, Swoosh, Jordan, Jumpman, Air and All That!

If you can get them!!! I wish I had a pair. Colorway is perfect.
already searching the net ;D…
do you know if they fit like any other pair of nikes?I would go tts or down a half at most. I typically take a US12 in Nike but can get away with a US11.5 in some. This colorway is pretty hard to get. Let me know if you find a source. end had them ages ago but sold out quickly.

well the killshots are US9/EU42.5 (pretty snug though!)…so if i can hunt these down in a US10/EU43.5 i think these should fit pretty much to perfect...right?
-
nikes are funny in that the toebox (or whatever you call the front end of sneakers) determine the sizing up down & around (at least for me). i wear a 9 or 9.5 in all airmax but in say dunks, uptowns, & most jordans i wear an 8.5 or even an 8.
i do always f^ck with everyone with sizing questions not to be spiteful, but because there are so many variables in the way a shoe fits each person.

Now these are Jordan 5's
-
DEP… Just perfect!
-
late to the party, dep you still got those
i jest, momma & poppa dep were on their job keeping you dipped & fresh.
-
i've owned those jordan 5's 3 times in my life, the originals, retros and retro'd retros. And yeah, my mom was the one who used to get me my gear. haha. back when Jordans were sold at Nordstrom, yeah, thats a longgg time ago. lmao!
-
i've owned them twice, when they 1st came out i took my few dollars i had stashed from various errands i would run for the older dudes in my neighborhood & went & bought them at my local mom & pop at the time (Freedman's Sports)
i think i was like 11 or 12.
the second time i bought them for nostalgia sake & ended up giving them to my little nephew just a few months back. he actually tried to play ball in them & they pretty much disintegrated on his foot.
i just recently threw away a pair of the first red leather air max ones cause my crazy self would actually wear them & they just had enough & fell apart as well.
i do think i valued my buys more when i had to save up to get an item & when the item wasn't plastered all over the internet. brings me back to when people dressed different from different regions, now everyone just looks the same & just copies what any "cool guy" over there is doing. . ..

^ very valid point Monday, when it was difficult to get shoes because of location exclusivity or cost (especially for the young buck trying to shine on them h0ez!) it made for people to do the best with what they had, and it made my dogma of what i like and want being a priority over whatever is new. But again, like you said, it is much different when you have a job and can afford to shoot 2-3 hundo for a couple pairs and not need to worry about making it back in a timely manner.

^ 8's have awesome support but might weigh you down a bit. 10's worked well for me too. i'm sure lando has worn many a pair to hoop in, i just know that i would rather wear the casual retro's casually and not hoop in them.
-
Lando–or any other sneaker-head--what Jordan's would you recommend for actual ballin'? I want something fresh but retro.
My favorite were XI's and XII's. I have a few friends that hoop that loved the XIII's and XIV's too. Comfortable, good support, great sole for indoor courts from pretty dusty to sticky. (They are also releasing some retro XII's in March I believe.)
