I saw these today at footaction and from pressing the insoles on display, it seems like these have very bouncy zoom air. Do these feel like the Flightposite 3's? I'm waiting on the black/red pair.

I love this shoe but does anyone else wish the insole didn't have the traditional carpet? Instead go straight lunarlon ala Kobe 8 insert?
PS, as comfortable as these are with regards to first impressions, putting them on for the first time still ain't as cloudy as the lebron iv. Those were legit pillows

My feet are wide, but i still went true to size and to my surprise, they fit perfect guys
Same here. My boy insisted I got .5 size up to a 13.5. But my 13 fits great. The sole omg. Woo. The toe box is crazy roomy which is shocking but accurate to when people said a month or so back they were true to size. Just make sure you try them on people.

So glad I was able to cop these, for less than retail which makes it better also. Miami vs. Akron are next & I'll see how I feel about the Xmas once I see them in person.

Whoa...let's not get crazy here. Tinker designed the majority of the kicks that took Nike from a modern day reebok to the juggernaut it is today. Dude is on Phil Knight and MJs level when it comes to why Nike is where it is today.
Petrie's good...really good. He ranks high among Nike's current crop; but to say he's second to the designer of some of the most iconic sneakers of all time is a stretch.

I'm REALLY tempted to get these, but I already have a good indoor hoops shoe (Lebron X) that can last me a while, and this would be a little unnecessary...

So, I got home and decided to take out the insoles to see what it was all about... Cool, and then I felt the inside of the shoe... :x

I actually prefer the lining because whenever I played in the Kobe 8s with performance socks, the sweat wouldn't absorb and would kill my feet.

The truth about this shoe is, the cushioning is all in the insole. Once you take it out, there is literally nothing there. Try it. Take the insole out and feel the inside and you'll see what I mean. At least with the X, IX, VIII, VII, the support is built into the shoe.
And since I work in shoes and sell insoles everyday, the insoles aren't even all that.

would the Jordan 2012 MAXAIR inserts work in these?

Honestly, any insole will work in these since the support in the shoe is 100% reliant on the insole.
I will likely switch mine out with a SofSole Airr insole.

Copped the Jordan 10s this morning. Saw em on display and I was like they are nice but wasn't too thrilled about the price. Then I went to a Brooklyn nets game and my friend had em on. They looked really really nice. I brought em after the game. These are super nice in real person and extra comfy. My first lebrons since the south beach 8s. I just love the colorway. Probably the only pair ima cop

Its like that sometimes, you realize the error of your ways once you see a pair on feet regardless of who has them on.
