So a sneaker is garbage based on the fit
Not their playability, their fit for you

Yeah. If they don’t fit right, then they weren’t comfortable to ball in. I don’t think that’s a hot take at all.So a sneaker is garbage based on the fit

These brought me out of NT retirement - member since '04, last post '11, now posting a WNBA player's shoe?? Way to go Sabrina.
I tried these on before ordering and swear my By You pair feels 1/2 size bigger. I have a full thumb in the toe box and even had a thinner sock on when I tried them on. I dunno, maybe bad luck or QC problem. Comparing them to my Kobe IX's that I wear in the same (men's) size, the S2 is noticeably a longer shoe.
Went for a subtle alt Oregon colorway. Received three hours ago and just hooped in them for an hour. Was worried about lack of cushioning as I'm a heavier build / weight lifter, but they feel great. Have been playing in Lebron IX low retro (liverpool) and Kobe IX Pop Art's from 2013 (yeah, they are still solid). I suspect these will be the new favorite if they don't feel too big after breaking in.

Yeah, still doesn't explain the pair of S2s I tried on at D!cks feeling perfect. yet these feel big. I'll have to go back to confirm I'm not crazy.

You're saying the tried on pair was the same as your NBY pair?
So i said this sometime back... I was an 11M with the S1s.... but wanted to make sure with the S2s.... couldn't find a place to try on an 11M. Snipes had the Conductors in a 10.5... tried them on and had little tightness which led to know 11M would be perfectly fine. So these S2s do give a little more give than the S1s but I wouldn't go .5 down from the size you went if you got any S1s

US sizing is always a mess.. it's best to see what the size in CM is and go from there (especially when buying other brands).

Would love to see a few more official colorways. Or a refreshed selection of options for NBY.
Does anyone recall if the S1s went through multiple NBY phases with new colors/materials? or we maybe stuck with what we got this summer?

Hoping someone can give me some advice or let me know if they were in the same boat. I ordered a pair of NBY Sab 2s four weeks ago. The day after I placed the order, I received an email stating the shoes were started. I have not heard anything since. No emails that they were finishing up, nothing.
A day after I placed the order, the status in the app changed to "preparing to ship," but since I've been a Nike customer, I've seen that used as a placeholder. CSR tells me they are ready to ship, and that was more than a week ago.
It's just strange because all my Sab 1s and Dunks took two weeks or less from the order date to receiving them. So I'm not sure what to make of these being in the "build" stage for four weeks.
Thanks.
