The sizing on the IXs was really odd - certain colourways would fit far more snug than others. At the very least you'd have to size 0.5 up and in some cases even a full size up.

I'm glad you said this because I have a question regarding the size.
I'm normally size 11. I have a pair of China's size 11.5 that seem to fit pretty well.
I'm looking to buy the All Star's. Is 11.5 the right size I should get?
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what y'all talking about, they are one of my fave shoes to hoop in, but everyone's feet are different. None of mine have ripped, built like tanks IMO.

The boutique I do customs at just had these beauties come in the door yesterday. Gorgeous.

Personally they are built like tanks for me. My issue is the toe area. Maybe it's a personal thing but my toe kept hitting that hard toe cap area. It's not a sizing issue either. I sized up. It's just that the toe box is solid on these shoes for some odd reason with no padding.

One of the issues with synthetic shoes. Sure they are durable and resist creasing (but if you're hooping does creasing really matter??) but they lose all kinds of break in properties. They can be very unforgiving unlike leather or suede.

Wow...must have paid a handsome price. What's with the box though? All these Elite samples came in unlabeled orange Nike boxes didn't they?

When I originally did the labels were all pixelated
Damn mobile viewing. But now I see it's custom.

I've hooped in Big Bangs several times, felt amazing! I'm a pretty big guy at that and my feet felt very good after.

anyone had luck cleaning the yellowing upper of the home elites? They are one of the worst yellowing shoes I remember next to the white foams. I can cop a vnds pair for a good deal but not sure yet

It's natural oxidation, can't really clean it. If it's dirt, sure, but oxidation you're kinda stuck.
