Do racers and trainers run the same? I wear a 10 in racers. Will I be a 10 in trainers as well?
Since people are complaining about the size recommendations being wrong, I would say go with the size you wear in most sneakers. I'm universally a 13 in all shoes so they fit perfect in a 13. If you're wearing your racers fitted and not loose, go with that size.Do racers and trainers run the same? I wear a 10 in racers. Will I be a 10 in trainers as well?
To me, if you get your true size in racers then you should be ok with your true size in trainers with more wiggle room. If you go .5 up in your racers then i think you can still get your true size in trainers and it'll be just rightDo racers and trainers run the same? I wear a 10 in racers.

Some places have em sitting so you should be able to cop and maybe return em if you dont like the fit. Maybe buy 2 different sizes so you know for sure which you like.Do racers and trainers run the same? I wear a 10 in racers. Will I be a 10 in trainers as well?
People who are complaining that their trainers fit too loose: can't you just steam these like the racers to make them fit more snug?
I mean, the steam-to-fit flyknit thing originated with the original release of these, the racers, and the lunar 1. IDK if the flyknit has changed in the retro but I don't see why it wouldn't respond to steaming the same way the originals did.lol is this seriously a thing? my trainers fit too big for me and the goodhood sent me a jacked up box so i can't move em. i might try this lol
The Flyknit material is the exact same. In principal the process should work the same. But I don't think you can shrink a shoe all that much.I mean, the steam-to-fit flyknit thing originated with the original release of these, the racers, and the lunar 1.

When Nike did it at the Olympic trials it was on shoes that were already kinda snug. They fit the person themselves then steamed the shoes for a custom fit for their intended use.
The steaming process is not for people who have shoes that are too big for them.

What's the next colorway n date?
You can definitely steam it to shrink to fit them. That's why it's not recommended to dry them in a dryer if you end up doing machine wash. Some guy in here way back did it to his racers and they were shriveled up like condoms lmao.The Flyknit material is the exact same. In principal the process should work the same.

edit: Here's the pic
Oh ok I thought it was the dryer that did the shrinking, but I assume it would have the same effect if you dried it in a dryer after washing. This is besides the point tho. Flyknit can shrink.This was from a hot wash cycle if i remember correctly
Undefeated order just arrived. Thought I was gonna have to wait till Tuesday.
Spent over $600 on shoes in the past week. I need to chill. Hopefully I can win my fantasy leagues to pay these off lol.
