Mids are nice, I have the brown and the black wingtip mids and they are cool.
Those are the only mids i've really messed with alongside the all black suede mids.
Got my Volts today in London, very happy as I only paid UK retail (£59.99) but they are tight AF.
All my Janoskis are suede and leather so I guess the canvas is where the issue is.
Gonna have to get the shoe stretchers in them.

Anyway my UK people for the Volts
Slam City Skates -...
Dunno what kind of nylon is used on the iDs but a friend ordered a pair and after a few wears there is a crease line on hers and she hasn't even worn them that much.
I always stick to mesh, shame they couldn't release coloured mesh uppers for iD like back in the day again. -_____-
I did post re sizing a few pages back.
They stretch with wear, that's the nature of the shoe.
0.5 up may seem good initially but when they've been broken in they might become too loose. That's what happened with me.
tl;dr: Its a skateboarding shoe, so you have to break them in. Hope that helps.
To all those asking about sizing..
Everyone's foot varies but as some help/advice to those asking:
For me personally i'm a UK 8/ US 9 with a wideish foot in Air Max 1s, Dunk Low SBs (fat tongue), any NSW release basically.
In Janoskis for the past 3 years.. I have been and still am a UK...
They are available in a UK 4.5.
Smallest in London seemed to of been a UK 3.5/4.

Managed to scoop 2 pairs for European retail which isn't too bad considering I live in London, would rather of got them for £65 each but hey.
Now to get the lemon twist ones and do a few iDs and i'm done for...
I just don't know about the majority of these 2013 AM1 releases, for me personally:
- The shape is forever getting worse..
- The sizing is screwed, i'm a true 8 yet recently all my 8s have been coming up mad tight.
The only AM1s I can just about deal with at the moment is the iDs... *sigh*
My pair came in looking like that but both feet had that rough suede look, a friend recommended a suede brush so gonna give it a go.

Is it me or are these recent AM1 releases coming up snugger than usual
