Came in today.
Went with my Rare Metal size and theyre money.
I'm a wide footed fellow btw.

I'll say this though.. putting these on remind me of putting on the Kith Mid Ultraboosts, the sockliner makes it a process but once ur foot is in, its locked down. Molded Heel cup only adds more to this.

Gonna play in these today.

Some impressions

Traction seems to grip more than my Rare Metals... as in theres more bite and stability on things such as my step back. No slipping around in the shoe as the insole is made out of a sticky material. Built in sockliner isnt a distraction or anything during play... They should call this cushioning Jet Plush coz thats whatnit be feeling like. Impct protection is money but I dnt feel as low to the ground as I do on my Metals. Havent tried playing with the strap yet as I already feel quite locked down without it.

Gonna be playing later on a really dusty court for my Tues night runs so i'll see how they hold up there because even my Jordan 28's have trouble gripping there.

Definitely want a pair of the Weartesters RM!!! Question to anyone with JC2s and JC3s. Did you go with the same size in the RM's? I read some kept TTS, and others say down .5? Just wanted to use the other BB shoes to help me figure out what size to get, since I have those & NO ONE has Rare Metals to try on anywhere near me. Thanks for your help.

 

[duke40]

^^^ I wear the same size RM as jc2, but I think the jc2 is about half a size longer.

You spelled it wrong.....its SELL OUT not COME OUT! Lol.....seriously, I hope the RM is not like the Ether when it comes to the weartesters edition

Thanks Brian. I'd just hate to buy the wrong size Weartesters model. My size 11 in the JC2 feels great with a little wiggle room for my toes. I'm not sure I'd have that space if I half-size down in the RM. Maybe I can get lucky and find a place in Philly tomorrow that has them, so I can try a pair.

 

[duke40]

^^^ sorry, I meant got half size up in the RM. I could have done a 10 in the jc2 but rare metal had to keep a 10.5.

How does the Rare Metal's sizing compare to Adidas' or Nike's models? I'm a US8 in Hardens & Lillards and a US8.5 in Kyries and KDs, comfortably.

I really want to get the right size for these as well since I'd get them for oncourt use.

I would go with harden sizing.

Tempting....

Interested in the Future Legend lows, because the Future Legends have become my Go-To and have overtaken my Harden Vol 1's as most frequent. I prefer them overall over the Rare Metals... and they've been getting alot of double takes and questions at the gyms i been playing at too haha.

 

[kaz109]

I really need to get the future legends.....i was planning on buying another pair of RM but maybe I should get the future legend instead

Do it. Cushion set up is just heavenly on them. Better than the RM even though they're both Jetlon Plus. I do like the one to one fit of the RM but the FL are next level to me. I own the Mauve colorway and they're just sexxxyyy. Don't find my self playing too much with the lockdown shroud but it DOES work.

 

[deputy cadillac]

Coincidence that Brandblack released 7 new Rare Metal colorways yesterday (Jamal Crawford's birthday)?

 

[thapointguy]

FNL has the black Future Legend. They'll go on sale like the rest of their inventory but if you got a $20 rewards and use their $10 off code 10GREEN100, knock yourself out.
