Daybreaks doin me rite
 
I present the NIKE IMPALA II, 1983 Model very similar to the Gemini, Diablo, Oceania, and other cheap runners at the time. Can’t believe the quality of the leathers, Nylon, and even the laces. A true joy on foot.

Those module would probably have to be reintroduced with a new moniker ~
 

Like that blk/blue cw. Any release/detail info yet?
Plan to cop. Good thing I didn't pull the trigger on the similiar AM 1 pull tab cw.

Also hate to ask this question:
Sizing wise - specifically in terms of width, do these runners fit like the various am 1 through '98s? I have gone to a local Nordstrom to try on- but they didn't have my size.

I can do a 12 in virtually all Nike models, 12.5 for Js, but FKRs must have 13. Usually my problem is width and pinky toe crush.

Should I be ok with going with sz 12 in any of the tailwind 79s/daybreaks/cortex etc etc?

id say within a month for a release.


i kind of feel like they vary a bit... I’d say tailwind 79s go half size down from your tts. Cortez go half size up from your tts. Daybreaks and waffles are tts. That’s my opinion though.
 
Did a little spring cleaning since it hit 70 degrees here in Colorado today... didn’t pull 3 of my other waffles out for the wheel (size? Yellow, challenge red, blue)... but maybe in the actual spring summer when these get put way until the fall again.

Appreciate it bro! Thanks for the info. I know the sizing questions get annoying.

I feel like awhile ago there were a bunch of threads where you had a pretty good list of different shoes and sizing, tried but couldn't find them lol. It was a pretty good reference. Should be stickied in every thread lol.
