[bigj505]

I have no clue they said there going to hold my post .... idk but thanks for the help guys

that's terrible

It's not terrible. New users that create new threads are moderated. The question is something that's actually searchable as the GS to Men's size conversion is answered a lot.

I have a question I'm new and it wont let me post my forum . I want the 11s velvet maroons and I'm a 8mens is 8mens same size as a 8Y

Short answer, yes, 8y is the same as a mens 8.


Long answer - Gradeschool sizes are just an extension of mens sizes but made with cheaper materials. The measurements are exactly the same. The ONLY time a size range is different is when its womens (which Jordan brand doesnt make), and thats usually 1.5 or 2 different depending on the shoe (some converse are 2, some are 1.5, nike is generally 1.5)

Some mens shoes go down to a size 3.4-4, like Dunk SB........But they`re made with the same material, so they cost the same as mens.

Same with a Mens size 7 Space jam and GS size 7 space jam..........exact same measurements but with cheaper materials, no special box and cheaper price.

EDIT*

The bigger GS sizes MAY feel a little different than mens because of the cheaper materials..........So they could possibly be tighter if your foot is wider, but length should never be an issue.

So Jordan wore 13.5Y shoes?

So Jordan wore 13.5Y shoes?

No. he wore a mens 13.5.

The Y means its youth, which comes with cheaper materials than mens sizes. Ex. Jordan 11s, mens has real carbon fiber while youth sizes have some plastic stuff in a similar shape but definitely not carbon fiber.

Only difference between youth/grade school sizes and mens is the materials used. (of course, sometimes they change them a little bit, like they did with south beach lebron 9s and all jordan 4s)

The arch support angles are also usually different.  For brands that have women's shoes, they also differ in arch support between women's and youth as adults and children have different physical characteristics of the foot that require different arches.

GS and mens are completely different other than sizing.
Tech, materials, mold are all cheaper.

How does the outsole of these and rainy day mix?

How does the outsole of these and rainy day mix?

A recipe for expedited yellowing if you ask me.

 

[famousnerd1]

They'll be OK, watch out for mud tho

I've always been into 1s,3s and 4's. Do the icy blue soles turn piss yellow overtime?

 

[promac]

These will turn more green than yellow. The less moisture (water/snow) you walk on, the longer they'll stay blue

I haven't had any yellowing on blue soles, I wear my Carmine's everywhere rain or shine and they haven't gone green

They yellow over time

Worst case

That's dirt, not the outsole changing color.
