So going a half size up was a bad idea, could I exchange my pair for another size it I already played in them? Only practiced once in these. Ordered from East bay.
 
JORDAN has come out with the worst colour schemes for a signature shoe in the history of mankind! The initial 2 colours were good, and there are a couple other colours like the infareds and the north carolina blues, but seriously, what the hell is up with those green ones with swirly lines? The big Jumpman logo version sells better than the other versions, why have we not had some more colours of that version of the shoe? A white red and black bulls colour? or a Black, blue and white space jam colour? or anything from Russell Westbrooks stash of colourways?

BOOO Jordan brand!
 
Yeah in the toe box. Foot slides around a little bit. I thought it was a good fit in the store because the 11 felt snug, but with the flexibility of the upper you get more room than you think and the Half size up doesn't have the same lockdown.

Also, does anyone have issues on the medial side where the forefoot part of the midsole meets the middle piece? Toward the inner ball of your foot, if that makes sense? After playing I get a soreness in that area possibly from the point where those pieces meet. I really like the bounce and feel of these, the traction is good but would probably better fantastic with a tighter fit.

But will East bay accept an exchange for these or?

Just clean them up really well and make them look DS with laces, scrub the outsole if you have to. Once wrapped and returned you might be able to get away with it. Unless that one day in practice you beat the crap out of them.

If you are going up half size you have to really tighten the laces to not let the foot slide around. I exchanged my gym red for the team orange and they only had 11.5 so I settled with half size up. I had to tighten the shoes or else the forefoot slide around. It's the one reason I don't wear it as much as I like to plus I have others for indoor rotation as well.

If you felt sore it is probably because you we're sliding around in your shoe.

Heels are slightly creased and one of the toe boxes has a small crease but with the woven upper it probably just looks natural. Outsole shouldn't be hard to clean. Only real sign of wear is the Jumpman on the insole but I'm gonna hope for the best I guess.

I know what you mean and even then the laces will loosen a little. First couple moves I did felt a little weird, had a bad landing on a jump, it was a bad experience at first.

Does anyone think it's possible to exchange these to a local FL/Champs?

Footlocker rep told me I would have to send them back to Eastbay, but reading an old thread on here some were saying you could still do the exchange at a FL/Champs as long as the barcode/scan came up in their system which obviously it would.
 
Been hooping in these lately. And I can say now they are up there with the XX8. I had a league game and the courts where very clean and I had the best grip I've had since the XX8. Love how these play.
 
They can't do that for us though...

Really reminds you how dirty this shoe would be if they just dropped proper colorways. That PE is on another level.
 
I would love to see a Jordan xx9 EXT! Put some high quality leather on those jays! They'd be the perfect shoe! That UNC PE is nice. I still believe there's greater potential for these...
 
SO STUPID RIDICULOUS, CAN WE PLEASE GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR THE MASSES JORDAN BRAND!

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to ream somebody out at Jordan Brand. They seriously think they are releasing great stuff to us? A lot have been a miss. IMO
