how the hell you wear size 11 when you feet is actually size 9.5 ?

That's a big difference in feeling between 9.5 and 11

But to the guy who ask about sizing. The V are true to size. If you're going to ball , get them as snug as possible

- You can make the exact colorway on Nike ID, just sans the red accents on the sole.

something i mocked up in a few seconds.. the inside tongue says "wayne", no number

(and yes, that's a knight on the heel)

I usually wear a size 9.5 but for the IV's and V's I went with size 10.

I've only tried the Vs on once and they felt a lil snug, but not too bad.

I think I know which one you're talking about....

Myth according to who? Mythbusters? lol

Kobe IV and Kobe V runs a lil narrow for me so I have to go 0.5 size bigger. Kobe 1,2,3 doesnt run narrow so I have to get true size.

 

[hugree]

I got Kobe IV's half size up too. It' not a myth. They fit small.

[marley]

Those Lee's look good man. Nice pickup.

 

[jmizzo]

so far I think I like the red laces in the B Lees the best, 2nd Black, and 3rd Yellow.....

 

[solefood24]

Is that 3m on the Bruce Lee's?

It's official - black laces are the best look for the Lee's.

Props

You guys are lucky to get your pairs there in the us. Here in the Philippines, we only have the kids away in stores, no sign of the mens sizes. The chaos was aqs release but did not release in Nike stores but rather other sporting goods shop. This sucks. Pushbacks is much better than not hving any idea on the releasedate.

Btw black laces on the BL make me wanna cop.

So what you're saying is spend $30 more after taxes & shipping for a replica of the Dark Knights with the option to put your name inside thetongue & a logo/number on the heel?
