Just another thought to add for sizing :
Working in a sneaker store when I was younger, I realized a lot of people have never properly had their feet measured ( it’s been mentioned here plenty of times before )
I think there is an economic part that could be overlooked as well. Due to hand me downs, borrowing shoes etc a snug fit could remind someone of less fortunate days. I could see when someone has the means may opt for a “Looser” fit because of the memories associated with idea of a snug fit.
This shoe is as about TTS as you get. I understand that people who may have wider feet are willing to entertain some extra length in the toe, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that these are a TTS sneaker. Something else to consider a lot of the younger consumers are double socking, wearing Nike elites etc.
With that said, bring on the SB8’s.

Wow ! I can’t believe I won a Feature raffle. I never get a W from them. I guess there really is a first time for everything.

Plenty of places getting these and I'm guessing half the people that are buying them will want to sell them in a couple months.

Yeah exactly. Anyone that honestly thinks these will not drop to close to retail is crazy. The Grafitti which only released on Nike.com can be had in most sizes for $40-50 over retail.

Yeah, crazy...the laker color one could be had under retail, well before fees and shipping

Outside of literally a handful of Lebrons that released to the public, his shoes just don't hold value. Even super rare stuff like grafitti 4s have drastically dropped in price. I remember when Big Bangs were going for $500-550 DS. A couple years ago they could easily be had for half that.
