The black pair next week is up and coming to FTL, champs, foot action, eastbay, dsg, ycmc, dtlr/villa as well as nb they are a general release nothing limited just like the all black and all white pair

Thanks. Hopefully they drop here in the EU as we only got the black pair from this latest release.

yeah mine will be here in the morning i was happily surprised

 

[stangnhoops]

I can't recall if I posted about the fit on here but I went and tried on the JR pair a couple weeks before release date and the fit was the same as the Omn1s (OG and Low) for me. Length was the same so I had to go down a half size. I do have a question for the community, though. When you try on a pair, do you fully loosen the laces all the way down? I ask because I have a very high instep so I have to loosen everything in order to get my foot into any shoe. I've noticed when talking with others that sometimes that suggestion has helped people to have a better overall fit and I do find it odd that some people just loosen the very top and try to cram their foot in. I'm not kidding when I say that people have come back with "Holy crap! That did it. I would have never thought to loosen them down to the toes." Like, really?

*No offense intended with the above question.*

I loosen the laces all the way down. It takes a while to put on foamposites.

 

[Shoeboy4]

Loosen laces on first try on and subsequent wears until I get it to fit right right then just the top couple

I have a low instep but wide forefoot. Most newer shoes, especially fuse, give me trouble unless I go a half size up. The main draw from the Kawhi's, for me, has been the 2E sizing and being able to go back to a 1/2 to full size back down to my true size.

A THING OF BEAUTY
IS A JOY 4EVAH !

 

[Shoeboy4]

These things are vibrant in person love em! Now to the black/white pair on weds

 

[gopre5k]

NB Hoops teams is churning them out fast these days. Slew of Omn1s lows and a bunch of Kawhi pairs with the quickness. Not to mention all the clothing that gets overlooked. It's great and terrible. Who has the room and the $$$, especially with all the other pairs dropping from NB and various brands

 

[Shoeboy4]

Love them cannot wait for the ones on weds

 

[Shoeboy4]

 

[phillip]

The collection (so far)

 

[dasitmane]

So is the consensus on the Kawhis to go half size down again like with the Omn1s?

 

[luolpeng]

All-stars dropping this week, so presumably including them in the JR drop last week was a mistake (hence why they were pulled as others mentioned).

Presuming we're getting the Clippers c/w as part of this pack.

Edit: The NB Hoops IG story has the entire collection dropping this week. No mention of the c/w that's meant to be coming out this week.

 

[gopre5k]

That ASG pair with a black base would have been perfection. The ASG shoe and clothing all look great though

 

[gopre5k]

Yes this just happened

 

[Shoeboy4]

 

[th3jermster]

I really want these, but I'm going to patiently wait for a grey pair.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

I wanted both that dropped yesterday but with the wai they sittin, i couldnt do it YET

wonder how much of a difference it would have made if the clippers won it all, at least with that clipper colorway .

name on the BACK of the jersey always meant more to me than the name on the front, heard

 

[luolpeng]

Both pairs sitting in the EU too but annoyingly excluded from promotions, otherwise I would pull the trigger with a discount code.
