If anything they’ll tell you to repurchase and send the original pair back and give you a full refund.

Depending on the rep you talk to, your size may have to be available in order to get the adjustment.

The upper on the 21’s looks and feels very weird. I can’t describe what the upper is but it feels very cheap

Looking forward to the 22 lol.
It sucks that basketball sigs are out of fashion and Nike doesn’t try anymore.

Not sure if those really look used to me, but if you're not 100% satisfied with what you received then just sent them back.

Algae’s on the Spring disco just touched down. I was on the fence because I wear a 14 and normally some Brons are a bit too bulky to rock casually but these fit/look perfect. Mos def copping the Tahitian’s before the Nike sale is over.
This material looks crazy in person

That’s the one pair I’m debating.

Tahitian’s? They’re most def sweeter in hand. I will say I got a 14 in both Algae and these and the Tahitian’s fit noticeably more snug. I assume because of the difference in materials but I can tell a difference in fit, not a deal breaker though.

The material on the Tahitian’s are softer to me after broken in. Most of the pairs start off kinda snug but for medium feet like myself I’d say TTS is the way to go and after a wear or two they should be fine.
Wider you say? I might be back in.I cannot believe I said this.

Just grabbed these on the sale and as soon as I unboxed them I said what is this velvet
. The step in cushioning is phenomenal though. Idk if ima keep these or the 38s for ball. Worried about the 38 outsole flaw after a game or 2 though.

I few pages back I made a post about the Abalone's snug fit and how I bought an Amazon special shoe spreader. Worked awesome. They were really tight in the toe box (the whole shoe really), but now fit very well. Also, I haven't thought about doubling up on anything as of the past few years, but these Algae are fcuking dope in hand. Especially with the lace swap. I'm only using the spreader very lightly to loosen up the front of the shoe, but between the two, the Algae's really don't need it as they fit damn near perfect, but at their price and with that 20% off, I may get 2 more lol

Might just be the angle. But the toe box in the algae does look a bit rounder and not as pointed. The abalones look like a KD shoe in the front.

You’re correct. And it could be as simple and the material used in terms of fit, but the toe box is definitely wider (or so feels as such). The Algae fit damn near perfect outta the box.

My wife thought it was patent leather then when she touched it she had no idea what to think
. Im praying the grey/blue pair drop in price because I may need those next.

its because tahitians are made in vietnam and the algaes are made in china
Thanks for the info. I got the abalone in 10 and 10.5 and both were too tight for me in the toe box. I’ve ordered the queen conch in EP (Asia wide version) but had to pay extra for it. It was like $115 before tax and fees.
If the algae fit well as is for $80 then I will def get a pair.
