AJ VII Cardinal Dec 17, 2022

What? You need these

. My 06s are still good. Even if they separate, they're fixable and I'm good. I already have doubles of hares, 04 olympics, and og and retro french blues, and have 02 playoffs that need refreshing (even though I will cop if released). I can live with one pair of these, especially after paying $81 for that pair.

For those that have these in hand, is the general consensus these run TTS and snug as well? As a size 13'er my only option for sizing up is going up to a 14.

I usually wear 13s for AJ 7s, but these fit pretty snug. It's harder to slide my foot into the shoe because the sleeve appears to be a tighter fit than usual. I ordered another pair in size 14 to see if those fit better.

Yeah I noticed that too, I thought I didn't loosen em up enough but I'd imagine a 14 would be easier to put on. I'm afraid if I went with a 14 I'd have too much toe room at this point.

God I love this shoe. I'm hoping by mid or late January they are still around and maybe discounted and I'll pick up another pair.

Yeah you def would because 7's tend to have a good amount of space tts. Also, 7's look super long on feet so I can't imagine how they would look a full size up. Just try wearing em a few times they should loosen up and also try wearing em unlaced with the loose lace look I noticed that helps and stretching em where the midfoot laces are like I mentioned in a previous post as well.

Hopefully the 2s sit like this as well.

Sitting isn't a bad thing

My only problem with these sitting is, I bought em from somewhere that will be an issue to return. Not that I don’t want em, but I’d like to return if/when I can snag on discount…. Either way, I’m happy with my purchase.

Store credit?

 

[s dubl]

Store credit?

Really not worth the hassle. I knew I was willing to pay retail from the jump, just wish I practiced more patience to save a few bucks.

.... Tried on one shoe and they fit great, just a bit snug in around the heel and medial/lateral sides of the foot due to the Huarache sleeve but in the toe I've got enough room to not feel crunched for space.

For the record, that's exactly how the OG's did fit back in 1992, as well as some early retros such as the firsts French Blues and Olympics from what I can remember.

Some 7 retros, namely '11 Bordeaux, Cardinals and '12 Playoffs were looser to the point where I've had 7's slip out completely on more than a few occasions on court when exploding to the basket. Never lost any other shoes on court besides the 7's.

My '14 Hares are closer to the originals as far as fit is concerned. I cannot speak for the ones that were issued after since I haven't got any because of what I just explained.

With that being said, what you've just described, to me it's a good thing!

Yea I want them to. I was able to cop the cardinals at a discount.

Yea, now that I’ve seen that hype has gone down on a lot of the GR Jordan release I don’t cop from places that are hard to return to unless it’s a last resort.

 

[WesleyPipes]

Soon I'll cop a pair patience is the key

 

[Forsy231]

i love em! Best retro i have seen in a long time for a 7

 

[vegetaray123]

Bangin …

 

[guitaristguy313]

Maybe try wearing them around the house with some really thick socks or a few pairs just to stretch em out a bit. Worked wonders on my fire red 4s.

 

[headdetective]

Not a bad retro, but there’s still work to be done.

06 > 22

Toes on these look built for Bugs Bunny like I mentioned earlier in the thread.

06 way more sleeker.

 

[dhtowng]

Won my pair from FTL so hoping the extra FLX points helps me out on a future release. Had to pick up even though I know these could probably be had cheaper somewhere else. Hopefully it pays off.

I remember Jerry Seinfeld always was wearing heat on Seinfeld.

Damn thats crazy! With me the 2011-12 retros of the 7's while they did feel loose as long as I tied em on the ankle laceholes they felt fine and I didn't have to worry about em slipping off my feet. The thing is the padding on the tongue/inner booty was close to non existent on those retros so I kinda thats one of the main reasons it made em feel so loose.

 

[you go boy]

Anyone who ordered from hibbets not get them yet? My package shipped on Sunday but USPS still hasn't picked it up..I told hibbets about it and they said they would do a return for me cuz it might be lost

 

[brownmamba]

OG CW i cop for sure regardless
