So he's staying
. Nikes got to know something I doubt they want to make hat mistake twice now. (in reference to the 2 team colors)

Well the shoe hasn't exactly been produced yet. My bet would be that those dates are based on a HOME or AWAY cw and they probably have multiple color templates ready to roll out on.

I see where your coming from but Nike did it with LeBron where his first season back with the Cavs the didnt drop a Cavs colored shoe because they thought he was staying in Miami and the shoes that all dropped were more of shoes that matched Miami better. Closet thing we got was the HOAL drop but they was red/white with orange which are basically Miami's colors

Highly doubt there would be a Global Games KD 9 in January.. that was specifically for the World Basketball Festival in 2014, held in August. Probably won't be another one for a few more years since it was a tune-up before the FIBA World Cup.

Does anybody know the official release date for these?
I know on page 1 it says 6/20 but on FTL's release calendar it only shows them releasing a Wolf Grey/Multicolor pair, was wondering if anybody had any concrete info

Olympic colorway is about as clean as it gets...
Still may hold out on these for a discounted pair but I'm intrigued. Reps to all who've shared on sizing

I was disappointed with the KD 8 N7, but I have high hopes for these.

Only thing I'm still curious & concerned about is the sizing.
Are they similar to the snug fit of the 8, or loose around foot like 6 & 7.
With the 6 & 7 I had to go down .5 as they just didn't tie up tight across foot.
8 had no problem.
Do I go 12 or 11.5 [emoji]128532[/emoji]

KDs have been weird for me sizing-wise. See the following link for a first impression from Schwollo (excellent reviews btw): https://schwollo.com/2016/05/27/first-look-nike-kd-9/
according to him, narrow-footers should be able to get away with .5 down as he says they run long. Thought I saw some other sizing input in this thread from folks who already have them too?

Yeah Iv seen a few posts in here saying a number of different opinions.
.5 down & tts seems to be popping up the most. The poll in thread is going that way too.
Just still not sold yet.
Iv had major issues on the KD's sizing each year. Collected KD's since the 3.
Tts size 12 was always perfect on the 3,4,5.
But then the 6 & 7 just didn't tie up across foot so had to start going .5 down buying 11.5.
KD 8 came out and it was back to tts 12 as they were very nice & snug across foot.
So that's why I'm paranoid about what to get in the 9.

@lukeskywalker I hear you. I'm not sure how these move in the UK or how available they are, but I want to guess that you'll have a good chance to try them on for yourself even if ordering online. I know I'm looking forward to trying some on once they officially drop

The last few kd's have been pretty Available everywhere never had any issues with seeing them about. They usally sit though mind you, almost always end up in clearance

Every KD ive owned was TTS sz12 for me (5,6,7) And i tried on an 8 for the hell of it and barely got my foot in it. It was way too narrow and short length wise.
Im going tts 12 for these

With most Flyknit sneakers I've had to go half size down because I love a sneaker that hugs my feet.
These KD 9's I can tell will have me asking for a half size down.

View media item 2061763View media item 2061764Defiantly the most comfortable kd, lots of padding on the inside of the shoe
But I hate the fit, the mid foot runs narrow and you can feel it underneath your arch. I have a normal width foot and a medium arch, and it made wearing the shoe uncomfortable. This shoe seems like it's made for people with narrow feet, or have a high arch.

Repped. I'll try them on when they release, but it sounds like I won't be able to wear these. Just like the 8.
