They use more suede leather than the normal birks on this model. I’m usually a 10.5us / 44.5eu jordan 1, and my birks size is 43

still more material doesnt matter birkens already a $100+ sandal more than what most people would pay for a sandal.
$300+ for birkens is absurd
but to each their own.
but yea im normally a 43/43.5 in jordans as well and im like a 42 in birkens so yea we agree on the sizing at least lol

I know, but collab is a different beast man. An adidas shoes generally go for what, 150-200? Adidas X rick collab was like 7-900 easily.
Rick birks collab was like 4-500, so the price didn’t really surprise me.

Abercrombie.
Their rebrand has been great, I got a few of their oversized hoodies and a lot cozier/softer than Essentials. Quality ill give the edge to Essentials though they do feel a bit heavier and “rougher” after x amount of washed. My a&f feels lighter. If you havent tried or checked on them I would.

Some brands say they are o/s and really arent but A&F oversized is actually oversized. Dont size up, I did to account for shrinking but it really hasnt shrunk too much surprisingly.
I dont have any newer Essentials hoodies though so idk if their fit has changed.

Its pretty O/S, go regular.
Dont mind the sexy pose, 5’10 maybe 190ish. XL the large woudda still been o/s. I have a blue one I got a couple months later and it feels slightly less O/S.

That sole looks way too casual for the bball court. Should have just chopped the midsole in half and sold them as a lifestyle shoe. They would look better that way. I get it, they’re packing a lot of boost in the midsole but the profile could use a reduction especially since nobody is hooping in these.

I really like some of the pieces in S8:
The hoops shoes don’t look bad, but I wish Jerry went with New Balance.
