Real talk. I was able to walk into a store and grab 4 pairs for me and NTers. Never happens these days.

I’m not a shoe historian or whatever but I honestly don’t remember these shoes. I grew up in the 90s too but was more into basketball shoes then. Getting these below retail from Hibbett was nice! Now patiently waiting to get the purple ones on sale.

Thank you!
Finally got back into the states yesterday and was able to snag a pair just now. Apparently trying to buy kicks via a VPN or foreign cellular tower doesn’t work anymore. Probably due to bots smh.

they made up for it. They got delivered today. Super fast shipping. It’s weird my initial order total was $102. They added shipping hours later. Just seems a tad odd.What made you think you weren’t gonna end up paying tax? There’s nothing snake-ish about it. It’s the law. But sure, file a claim over $5.73.
Sizing is weird though. I wish they made 12.5s. They fit great length wise, but sit a bit narrow. I may return my pair. My 2008 retros were a 12 but fit great. Maybe they’re just broken in? It feels like the footprint of the 2008s was bigger. I’m gonna compare the two now.

Forsy,
I enjoy your stories man. It’s refreshing to watch a review that also includes a perspective from when the OGs released. That’s not common place these days. Anyone can buy a sneaker off a resellers site, review them and walk around with a “fit”.

My pair came in today, a 1/2 size down would be perfect.

Same. I got TTS with black/gray pair and was ok with it. But the OG pair has more toe room. Guess I’ll have to wear thicker socks.

So I compared the footbase of the 2008 and this 2021. Theyre the same. I just may need to break these in or lose some weight. Color wise, I’d say the grey here is more of a lighter grey or silver but otherwise this is a top notch retro. The toe box issue of old is not really there. That folding of the white mesh doesn’t appear to be as prominent. It could be that the black outer layer is sturdier. I always thought this was more infrared but it’s coming off as pink (which looking at the 2008 is accurate). The tongue here is all white (although sort of appears slightly off white and greenish from the foam backing?), whereas your 2008 had a grey tongue. No complaints for this price point.

As a few of you reported definitely some extra room at the tip of the toe. Comparison between my 180’s and the structures both size 13. Since there is no 12.5 I’ll stick with them

Just can't make up my mind regarding sizing but looking at that I'm gonna say def need to go .5 down. Looks exactly like the 08s.

My pair is shipping from a Champs 15minutes away and wasn’t picked up by UPS yet. Would they let me pick up the pair directly from the store if I show my order info?
