The biggest miss with the 7 was that Nike went with light colors on the mesh part of the shoe. The colorways were out of sorts too. You had a weatherman 2 which was about as awesome as the movie Grown Ups 2. You had a Texas Longhorns colorway which was not even close to a UT burnt orange. The...
Well... a few reasons. The GM KD IV was super hard to get. Most people that missed out on those, grabbed these. Some peeps that have the GM IV's (me) naturally needed these too! Some people that missed out on the USA's needed these. People that love gold needed these. Fans of USA Basketball...
Dang, jealous of everyone on the east coast. Still waiting a few hours to pick my raffle pair at Nike. Congrats to those who ate and are doing so to rock them!
Can't help you with that but I'll PM you with some helpful info for future possible reference. The market is softening on those since the 7 florals are about to drop.
All you have to do is link up with someone that also wears your size and get together on the design. Order both pairs, then ship 1 shoe each to each other. Problem solved!
This is more of an EXT pair though with the winged foot strap IMO. You can't really rock these on the court like you could on the previous AP's. I know people still gonna try and all... but I think this winged strap may have saved those that want them from that demographic. So may as well price...
I'd personally love for them to be EXT priced. It will keep the resellers and 1 hit wonder hypebeasts at bay a tiny bit. I'd rather give Nike my $200+ than a reseller, as silly as that sounds
I would say 54 inches should be fine... If you do not like to lace them up all the way or tie them, you could go something like 48 inches. I replaced the aunt pearls at 48 inches because I don't like to tie those. I only tie the ones I ball in. Got them at **************.
They found a way to use that left over Pendleton fabric from that Nike iD option eh? Very smart! I'd scoop these on the low low at the clearance store and do a crazy custom with them. NEVER for retail though.
so these have a suede wrapped midsole?
and nike couldn't do that for the retro xiii?
It's not really the kind of suede you see on the upper. It's more like a cheap felt material. I did think it was pretty cool they did that but the material was an afterthought. Peeps would be more pissed if...
You should be good on those EXTs. I was able to walk right into Nike this morning and they were sitting. Not a big fan of the quality of suede. If I see em at the ES, I'll def cop. Not for $200 though. I hate how the fly wire ruins the structure of the sides of the toe box. It's all lumpy and...
