Received my Moonwalkers today. I've given a few performance opinions to the kobe 8 to 9 em in the past. The 9 em wins hands down, but the 8 is unbeatable aesthetically. Now, I got my MJs sitting here, and even have the damn socks-i never ever order socks ha, but i have a few pairs of fades hanging around and I was like "dude those socks would look awesome with the fades" and they do.
But, anyways for anyone who cares, I'll break it down for ya aesthetic wise and how it feels compared to the em 9. Size, 12 for me fit fine for both. I had a bit of heel slippage and I imagine when I'm dunking tomorrow that the MJs will have more because of the extra padding in the heel/tongue area…plus if u evaluate the shoe to the em they have the tongue lining/cushion going down much further-its just a different tongue…it's huge. The padding is def superior on the FK.
The main thing you gotta know if your a baller, these have different cuts on the top of the shoe, and diff tongue sizes. One - the em is cut down more and a smaller tongue and less padding - the other the fk is more thicker padded, and a bit higher up…they are actually different cuts around the ankle area. t's not the same silhouette if you look closely. I love the aesthetics of the MJs but performance wise I'm doubting they're as good as the ems. Another note the ems are lighter, there is no question.
Even tho flyknit is an awesome technology, flyknit in basketball has just begun….I seriously believe after I try these mjs out tomorrow that I go back to the crimsons or easters for game time. Those are performance guaranteed….best bball shoes i've ever worn with the 8s coming in a close seconds….flyknits i think are amazing looking but i doubt they perform as well-we'll see….and I'm a guard who likes to dunk

I know some of you guys are all for the shoes fitting you perfectly, but come on guys, ya'll gotta give your feet some room to breathe
, idk how you guys are able to go TTS or even down .5 for that matter...I went .5 up and even then the fuse material bothers me occasionally...

Would the purple laces from mjs be way too short for Showtimes?

yeah, they are already not that long on the lows, so for sure would be too short for highs. Maybe someone in here has the exact measurements.

Yea I've had mine on ever since I tried them on this morning really comfy to me I kinda like the snugness granted I haven't done any physical activity in them but foot feels really protected imo compared to em and elite highs since they feel a lil stiffer and snug

Just got my pair of HGs in, have wide feet and can go TTS in the Elites and EM Lows comfortably, but definitely should've went .5 up with the FK Lows. These things are killing my feet!
