Man... good looks on the raptors JC1 restock.  I have two pairs of the lows and wouldn't hesitate on a third.  I love the shoe that much.

The JC1 in white is there but it's a half size down and I don't know if I can do it
 
I played in my TTS J crossover 2 today. All I can say is big mistake. I have blisters and my achilles hurts. my feet were sliding everywhere. Definetly need to go 1/2 size down. I will be wearing the shoe casually but the Kobe 9 for me >>>>>>>>> J cross over 2. switched to kobe 9 and had no problems. kinda sad but maybe Ill be able to try 1/2 size down at some point and compare. 
 
How many socks did you wear? What was the thickness like? Did you double sock? You didn't double sock did you you dirty dog. Are they built for speed or for comfort?
 
Of course you will like a shoe that fits you better than one that is clearly too big. There's no point in comparing unless you have both in the right size, as you said.

Not assuming you did this. But for the record. Even though these have the 'broken in feel' I would always wear a shoe casually a few times before ballin for two hours in new shoes. That goes for all sneakers.

Ya I did. I didnt think they were too big while casually wearing. but running, cutting etc made it clear they were too big.

Ya i was more mentioning just so pple know that they may have to go 1/2 size down for a good fit.
 
I really wish my white/blue pair would get here so I can see how they fit that way I can know which size to order for the blackout pair!! I ordered on Wed from FNL.....Better be here tomorrow or I am calling lol
 
Just balled in the JC2 and they are my new favorite shoe. If you have wider feet you will love these.

I will say traction is not as good as Kyrie 1s or Kobes, but for me the fit is so much better. I went true to size and they are perfect, no blisters, no foot cramps, just a broken in feel with perfect lockdown in the ankle/heel. My foot feels so well cushioned in these and the knit feels like it makes them more responsive.

I said this before about sizing...if you have wide feet or are on the big end of your size, go true to size. If you have narrow feet or even if you feel like you are on the small end of your shoes, go 1/2 down. For a comparison, I wear 9 1/2 in Kyrie 1s and Kobes, but they fit like a glove and I could probably size up in Kyries, as my wide feet cramp in them. The 9 1/2 jc2 fits perfectly with the length being closer to a 10.
 
Jackthreads have select sizes of the black/red JC 2 and more of the white/blue. Not sure if there are any discount codes to get them under $100 like last time.
 
So I unfortunately sent these back.  The quality is great, but I just didn't like how they felt under the arch of my feet (too big of a gap) from a try-on perspective.  I'm sure they would probably break in and mold, but I'm not in the mood to "make a shoe work".

You were all correct about the sizing btw.  I went half a size down from my usual Nike size of 11.5 and they fit perfectly on my semi-wide feet.

For those who ordered tts and experiencing sizing issues, I'd wear hyperelite socks and try to find another insole that is thicker. It helps with the fit.
 
Mine came today!! My Nike/UA size is 12 but when I bought my Rose 5 boost 12 was WAY to big so I went with 11.5 but after some play in them I realized they were still too big so I ordered these JC2 in sz 11...I will wear for a couple days and report back
