[djyoung08]

you mustve just got into shoes a couple years ago

sz 13 has forever been a "rare" size

edit: idk why they just dont make more, its actually a pretty popular size

2005-2010

I never had a problem getting size 13

But back then, I ONLY copped Jordan's and Retro Jordans.

Passing on Easters, they just don't do it for me. Might be great summer kicks but I won't have a summer to wear them so oh well.

Hate it when you're asking (footlocker) about how the store is handling a release and they are just straight up rude.

I asked "what time do YOU open on Friday for the Easter release" she responds "the mall opens at 10 on Friday". My question wasn't answered so I asked "so do you open at 10 as well" that's when I got an "uhh yes"

Passing on going to footlocker (for this release at least) and I'll try to buy online. Won't care if I miss out. Have too many shoes just like all of you on here as is...

 

[unclerukus]

I'm sold

Love at first sight 

 

[s3p4tu]

Is it me, or I notice all release have full logo now? I notice it starts with the volt and after. Not complaining, but I wish they do that from the beginning.....

 

[mnguyen89]

but anyways, i feel your pain brosef, but youre still the comp so i will see you on the battlefield

 

[blacklion23]

Love at first sight 

guess its true what they say, LOVE IS BLIND 

 

[kishin]

I've been searching all over for  the FTL sku for the volts and supernaturals so I can stock locate.   If anyone could assist would be greatly appreciated!!

 

[blacklion23]

guess its true what they say, LOVE IS BLIND 

though I like them, this made me laugh

For those peeps with the issue of the lunarlon wearing down too fast, the alternative is the Jordan 2012 pack insoles, I've mentioned it before on previous posts that I switch the lunarlon for the Fly Over or the Fly Around soles with the 8's.

Slight loss of court feel but you can't expect the lunarlon to last. It's a softer foam than the other more sturdier foams used in other shoes. It doesn't retain it's shape or density as good as because of the molding to your foot material. 

Ask any hardcore runner with lunarlon based shoe, they would say they have to switch shoes faster than other types of running shoe. My belief is that lunarlon was made for running and not basketball. The jumping, stopping cutting that bballers do is much different than joggers/ runners.

Don't like the 2012 inserts in them. And shouldn't have to use them.

To all who are copping (or attempting to cop) the easters whether Kobe 8, KD V, or Lebron X: genuinely good luck. Its all a pass for me; wait till gradients for me. But if you trying to cop; I hate to say it but over half of you will probably end up missing out and NikeTalk will explode....... Resellers might be the way to go in MY, repeat, MY opinion. But I hope you get what you want. I know what it feels like to miss out on the dream shoe (KD IV N7; Kobe 8 BHM both 11.5 if you know a place to cop, Id appreciate it) Good luck tho...

Dueling for size 13 against other NTers

Doubt we're in the same area tho

And I RARELY cop online... So I'll let u have some pickings

 

[djyoung08]

Getting a size 12 ticket from a fellow NTer... (thanks fam)

Really wanted that 13... **Shrug**

I have a 12 in the Pythons and they're not so snug its uncomfortable..

Oh well... I'll still count it as a W

 

[kobe jnr]

A few sizes of volts popped up on Eastbay. I copped an 11. Couldn't wait anymore.

I think ill try and grab a pair again.. we'll see if theu cancel my order again.

Though they cancelled my order on saturday, and i checked my bank account,and my money is still on pending transaction..

 

[arabianite3]

please Nike...and don't give these the "Elite" treatment with the price hike

NEGATIVE! Please nike, release these WITH the Elite treatment. I want a real carbon fiber plate that wont crack, and zoom cushioning.
