Haven't yet received my pair but the only real complaint I have about the look of the shoe is the medial side. They serious look like those old and 1 shoes I think they were sprewells or something
 
 
Seriously, what is the correct sizing on this for normal width feet? Is it half size down or TTS? So many people saying different things.
I just got my imma be a stars today. I have a normal width foot. I wear 13 in nike. 13 in the lillard 2 was way too long so I had to go 12.5. Also 12.5 in the alphabounce. I got a 13 in the harden vol 1 and it has a bit of toe space but for some reason, the fit it so good that I think the 13 is better for me. Feels like a nike 13.25 (not 13.5) which is fine with me. I think that I can do 12.5 or 13 with this shoe, no problem. 
 
This. Hearing those comparisons have me excited for this shoe.


Was the first colorway extremely limited? James harden is a good player but I didn't expect a first day sellout with the way basketball shoes are selling nowadays

First pair to drop were Imma Be A Star (black/gold) and were limited. May be able to find some at Foot sites/stores.

Second pair were Pioneers (black/white/red) and they were GR, though ADC is sold out of the popular sizes. FSR pretty sure at Foot and FNL.

Dark Ops (all black--yes the Crazy Referee Boost 1s are dropping) release mid/late Dec.

Christmas, around Christmas obviously.

Homes early Jan.

Lots of other colors coming including BHM, Fashion Week, Gila Monster (gray/pink), Cargo, Grayvy (all gray), and more.

Yeah he uses flat laces. After hooping in mine for the first time, I can see why...the thin laces are so hard to keep tied haha.
He did have to retie them at least once last night during the Celtics game.

The spacing Harden uses with the pick and rolland double high pick is wild. So many options, his numbers are absurd. These rockets have a nice squad but I still feel Harden needs to get down to 35-36 minutes and Gordon won't stay healthy in 6th man role to make a WCF push.

Oh yea, I want these shoes pretty badly.

Harden is definitely a beast.

Yeah man you'll love them. Super comfy and they are great for hooping. I think I just need to tie my laces tighter.
 
One trick I've always used with laces is to take a butter knife and lightly drag the laces across it. Creates more friction to keep them tied. Now if only I could decide between the Hardens and DRose7 lol
 
Copped these today at the new NYC adidas store. I didnt see them anywhere else yet so i scooped two pairs. Hit me if you're interested.
Nice! $140 right? I might've taken an 11.5/12
 
Nah no release date but he did say next week, but not a specific day. Could be this Saturday to be honest with you.
 
Not sure why but I went my regular size 9 on my pair but when I walk the top of my foot is getting hit by something. Does anyone else have this problem? Feels like the last lace set is hitting it.
 
$100 or below for the Pioneers and I'm in.
 
According to Footlocker those blacks releasing on the 16th and those PK whites on the 20th(even though it says white/gold I doubt they're releasing 2 white PK colorways around the same time)

Picked up the pioneer's over the weekend in store at adidas. They allowed me to use the 15% off from the email sign up.

Really not feeling secure in the heel area and I went a half size down.

Strange to me that everyone in here loves the fit though. Guess my feet just aren't made for these.
 
How does Boost compare to Zoom and Lunar performance wise on a basketball court? Zoom is my favorite cushion to hoop in, I love how responsive it is... Lunar is decent until it bottoms out after a few months...


I was thinking about copping those Harden 1's to hoop in but I'm scared because I'm not too sure about buying another shoe with foam based cushioning seeing that I'm not a huge fan of Lunar... any insight would be appreciated.
 
Looking forward to these hitting miadidas. Will literally make two pair first day.
