Does anyone have these yet that may want to share the information to everyone and close this discussion on the fitting.....

We all know what happened when the Olives released recently, tons of people were asking for size swap because they realized the shoes didn't fit them comfy.

Anyone with these please share. Or share some light on how the Olives, Slim Jenkins, Kilroys, etc didn't fit TTS...I know for some did, but majority didn't...

I found the Olive IX's to fit very similar in size to the 2012 BRED IV's. The issue I had was length of the shoe, my true size is a 10.5 but when it comes to both of these
I have to go with a size 11. My big toe touches the front-side on the 10.5's.

The width is perfect on the IX's but I find the IV's to run slightly narrow.

My 02's are built like tanks, no signs of wear. I'm still copping the 2012s tho

If I were in your situation, I would ask myself, "What for?"

Haven't seen many pics if retail pics so here are a few...

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

check you local mom and pop stores my store has them in already 

my local spot got shut down


places like Jimmy Jazz don't count as 'mom and pop' do they? And DK's?

 

[grapeape]

The IX's look

 in that pic above.  But man, how sad is it that the IX's and the XI's have almost the same PL cut now??  OG XI PL cut swallowed the CG 9 when the 9 eventually released.  Damn JB...

 

[rgc1981]

I'm wearing my OG cool greys right now:

 

[daddyrabbit251]

It happens every year the releases b4 the XI are always a little easier to cop but after the XIs release then people fall back on the months earlier releases. The plus this yr is that the Foams and 4s drop after which is alright by me lol

 

[jiuseppejackson]

Yea So Cal will sell out of any retro and I don't miss living back in Daygo but Kansas City is slowly getting there

Excuse my ignorance but does FCFS mean First Come First Serve?

FCFS : Fire Crotches Feverishly Seduce

FCFS: Fart Cusping For Salads

FCFS: Free Case of Fig Sauce

FCFS: Found Cheese Freaking Siblings

FCFS: Friends Can Find Spermicide

*looks at do*

"Look at how my perm would ride!"

[black ice116]

Too much time on your hands homie?

 

[futuredhughes]

The House of Hoops is doing a raffle for these.

I believe they start handing out tickets on the 9th.

I don't know what Champs & FNL is doing.

Most likely FCFS.

Hopefully I win in the raffle for HOH so I don't have to wake up extra early.

Naw, foams don't drop after the XI's. They drop next week, Dec 14th.  The Chicago 1's drop after though, on Dec 31st (and the Thunder 4's on the 22nd of course, but you got that one right).

And wow, Jiuseppe stealin avi's and makin upgrades!

 

[black ice116]

I might have to pass on these cause I'm kinda broke after buying the black cement 4s & paying all my bills for the month. I hope I can get these as a Christmas gift. I already have a pair of black & red 11s so I just want these 9s this month.

 

[jay23oth]

Def cop smoky bottom soles aowwww!

 

[nineteen92]

Just saw these in person today. Looks like it's gonna be a go.

BTW, any of my fellow FNL peeps get these in at their stores yet? We haven't gotten them in yet, but I'm hoping that we'll get them by early next week.
