I am either an 11 or 10.5 and with these I went with the 10.5. I tried on both but the 11 had more room than I wanted and the 10.5 was just right.

I don't think it's fair/accurate to judge shape on any shoes in that video. Now if we had a video/pics of DS pairs that have been sitting in Nike's vault for the past 35 years that would be another story.

Nah its a body type thing. If you have slender legs and narrower feet the tongue won't pop up like that. Thats the cause of the guy's tongue being "tall" because he fills out more of the shoe.

So the other dude got kancles?

Well he also didn’t have them laced up to the top like a turtle neck or sum
For all we know the other tongue would be just as high given room to breathe and exist

Idk how people wear these without going up to top holes, laces are long on 3s and if you don’t you will have some huge rabbit ears laces. Trust me, this tongue is much shorter and way less poofy than other 3s. That dude with the crazy high tongue….

Maaaan, right shoe with the pre-crease. Homie over seas tried it on to stunt on the gram probably. Oh well!

Mine had a crease just walking around the house for 5 min i noticed. Not mad at it but just saying, they crease easy. Ask this dude.
I like to double knot it, and make the ears sit vertical instead of horizontal. IMO the way it falls makes it a nicer looking knot plus it’s more secure

Nah man, I'm saying that because the same thing happens to my shoes. Being a heavier sneakerhead with thicker legs the tongues on my shoes(usually if they're midtop) becomes a lil more exaggerated when worn. Its cuz we fill the shoe out more. Even when laced all the way up. It does look less bulky when they're laced fully but that's not the root cause.

Lol if it makes it any better I kinda pull the ears in a way where they both fall and point forwards, minimizing the spread of the knot. But still to each his own I guess lol. It’s interesting I feel like there’s relatively little lace and tying laces type talk for how much we talk about shoes hahaVertical sitting laces has always been a terrible look IMO.

I need to see pictures of these vertical laces. One loop up one loop down, or both down?

Not mad at all, delivered yesterday from Japan. Fit is TTS, tried them on with thick socks and had some wiggle room, not much. So l know with thinner socks it'll be good.

If you guys are talking about square vs granny knot, the vertical knot is the weaker version.

I only like the jumpman logo on the tongue of my 3s and 4s, the tongue and outsole of my 5s, the lace cover and outsole of my 6s.
What I usually do is stretch out the shoes (unlace, take each side, and stretch two to three times). Then I lace them loose but flat on the tongue, it helps with having your foot in the shoe.
