I got screwed back in '01 with the black cements listening to NT. Had me thinking I should go half size down lol. Vowed NEVER again. When you say "typical", you're absolutely right.

I put a bid in on StockX. Hopefully I have no issues.

Yea, I usually don't pay attention to the size talk unless someone mentions both my same size & foot structure. Goin a half size down is alot different for narrow feet than wide feet. And a half size down from a 12 is alot different from a 9. Just going with a wide spectrum of thin to thick socks works for me.

No. Enjoy the BCs for what they are. Buy the new version for the same.

After seeing pics with white laces, when I rock these, them black laces are coming right out. White laces are the move.

Yep, I got swayed ONCE on those Python retros a few years ago. People swearing up and down they ran a full size big, so I went a half size down. Luckily I had second thoughts and ordered my true size a few minutes later. Both pairs got here and the half down was way too small. Never again.
There's one dude on here that swears NT'ers just don't know what size they truly wear and I'm starting to agree with him.

Hey buddy, it's tough to compare frommback then (in '93, I was a sophomore in high school and I too had VIIIs in Playoff colorway, as well as Infrared 6s in 8th and Charcoal 7s in 9th. There was nothing back then in regards to social media. My Space didn't start till 95 when the internet was in its infancy. No one bought shoes because they sold out. Back then shoes never did. They restocked numerous times and eventually went on sale (it's how my mom got me my 2nd pair of Infrareds going into 9th grade. Carmines were new color while black/Infrareds were on clearance.
Personally, it was such a better time back then in terms of everything. No technology in terms of computers that run the world. People were having conversations the normal way or by phone. And you went outside to play instead of online with a game console. And, let's be honest, sneakers back then we're WAY better design wise and material wise!! I'd go back to the early 90s if I could!!

?!? Before these and the LAtoChis, I never flipped. Again, I was adamant that I didn’t need these, but my wife and I went to Portland, and I usually swing by the Nike Store, so we went. As soon as I saw them in the store, I knew I should’ve kept my az away from that place.

It will never be like it was. Hate to say that. But we all have to move on from it also. Im old compared to alot of guys in here. Still in it to enjoy what they are willing to still give us.

Sadly true. But it was such a great time to grow up in (we're probably close to the same age as I'm 43)! And whenever we get a nice Jordan OG retro or a Nike retro from back in those times, I get all geeked and count down to when they release. The Maestro 2 ASG Pippen PE was SUPER nice).

One pair so far. May shoot for one more. Been rocking mines with white laces and the contrast is cool.
When/if they do a black and a white cement pair like these it’s a 3 pair cop each.
As far as the Sizing talk, if it irks you bypass it. I personally think it’s cool since we all have different shape/size of feet. What about that chap that lives in the sticks that can’t just walk to one of his many sneaker shoes in his area to try them first them buy them?
At the end of the day at its your final decision to make in regards to sizing. Nobody can coerce you or sway you.

I’m gonna kick myself later for doing this, but I originally bought these to customize to black cements. However they were beautiful when I saw them and saw myself in a dilemma. But I had to do it because it was the original plan and honestly I cannot rock red shoes. I love how they turned out tho.
