jordan melo m10

Allstars would be so much nicer if the liner and lace holder are black instead of that pinkish red
 
For those of you that ball with these, did anyone else initially get kind of a hot spot above the heel where that extra achilles padding is? Does it go away with break in?

I did not get a hot spot, but I felt pain around the side of my toes.  The pain went away after a game or so, after breaking the shoe in a bit.

I do find that the arch of my foot hurts if I am running a bit, such as in a full court game.  I think it might be the flight plate piece.  

As a note, I went TTS with this shoe, and there is extra room in the toebox.  Should have gone down .5 size.

Sounds kind of painful, are you flat footed or do you have an arch?

Also I sized down an entire size compared to d rose shoes, so that may be why I'm feeling a bit of extra pressure and you didn't.
 
Got both the BHM and YOTH. Played my first game in the BHM tonight and they felt great. I have played about 5 or 6 games in the xx8 se and these felt very similar. The fit was a bit firmer with the melos and they were lighter than I thought they would be.
 
Got a quick look at the Volt M10's this morning, those are an instant buy next week. Just beautiful in person.

I think I'm just going to abandon all other shoes this year and go all in on the m10, I like them the best anyway. I was going to grab a few other Kobe's, but those are firmly on the back-burner.

I hooped in the Kobe 9 it was trash. These melo's are the best bra

I thought these felt a little long when I first tried them on, and wondered if I should have sized down. After playing in them about five times they feel good length wise, which is counter intuitive as it was the  opposite in this years Lebrons.  Perhaps the natural materials shrink a bit after they absorb the sweat from your foot, whereas the fuse and foam stretches out.
 
Bball shoes are kinda like baseball gloves. I don't think you should jump straight into game action with a new pair. Now that I just shoot around and do some light jogging with new shoes I've been able to pinpoint these minor issues and adjust my footwork and other things that might be leading to discomfort
 
^^^ nope - just you. Completely different feel -although the 9 is a great shoe.
 
yo def need 2 warmup da melo shoe before ballin cuz em got so much more amour tacked on than da xx8se. stiffy stiff melos
 
So I was @ HoH this weekend and finally took a good look at these and I gotta say they are nice. I'm trying to branch out and take a look at other kicks and these are really dope.

All the c/ws are dope I've seen in store. I particularly like those powder blues and these neons. Well definitely look to add some soon
 
So I have a question. Are these better than the XX8 SE? I feel like JB is focusing alot of their marketing on these more than the XX8 SE. NCAA players are getting them, I see youtube ads for the M10, etc. It seems like the M10 is getting a huger push.

I like the M10 better.

It's the same shoe in a lot of ways, but the M10's are more solid and have a higher cut, both of which I prefer over the XX8. They are also more padded which is nice. The performance is basically the exact same with the whole flightplate/midsole technology being the same, the M10's are just better materials and more durable.
