SF just tweeted the kushwacker restock

 

[8toes]

That sold out fast again if it did

 

[jagtheman]

I was there as soon as they tweeted, and I fell short... AGAIN

 

[8toes]

So you were able to see sizes? Maan it's grim in houston to get a pair locally. We have more spots getting those 350 boosts and shattered backboards then these smh.

 

[MRBW]

Was there a special link for it? Have page monitor on and it didn't go off.

 

[ohwussup]

SF is bugging they did that twice already

 

[priceboy00]

You in ATL or FL? Was wondering if you think Wish ATL will get the Kushs, or maybe Epitome(although they may still be locked inside with the shades drawn because of all the angry dudes who couldn't get their collabs lol)

I'm in ATL. I'll PM you bro

Mine went the exact same route, but I'm on the east coast. Sounds like this whole round of shipment stayed together til the last destination for some reason. Mine is about an hour away from me now.

 

[ironlion808]

so what's the verdict guys? .5 size down or tts on kush?

 

[iname]

Beauties. Immediately switched to the 3m laces. 

 

[MRBW]

wish the laces they supplied were shorter, they are way too long imo.

I went with my usual Saucony size and they are a bit more snug at the front compared to 5000 / 6000 and Jazz.

Length, width, or both?

 

[rawrmazinger]

TTS was perfect for me. Half down and my toes would have been crammed into the toe box. People on here seem to call that "snug" lol.

 

[lavandese35]

No wonder they took so long to ship. People were wearing them around the store it looks with my pair.

Mainly width, I consider myself wide footed.

Yeah half down would def be to small.

 

[doug36]

I can vouch for that as well, sizing down would be a no-no.

Wow, pretty annoying. VNDS!

As I've said too many times, alot of the sizing confusion comes from what people consider their TRUE size.  Giving a reference to what size you wear in other Saucony models is ideal, but sizing compared to other popular brands/models works too.  For example, I wear a 9 in Saucony Grid 9000, Shadow 5000/6000, Jazz, and G9 Controls.  I wear a 9.5 in Nike AM1/90 and Dunk SB's, but 9 in Jordan Retros and GR dunks.  I wear 9.5 in Asics GL3/5.  I wear 9 in Brooks Chariots.  I wear 9 in New Balance 996-999, but 9.5 in 574.  Point being, I have no clue what my TRUE size is.

I agree

Same, definitely go TTS.

All good info though, for anyone confused on what size to go for on KWs (I went with 10), some sizes I wear:

Saucony Jazz / 5000 / 6000 - 10

Asics GL III - 10/10.5

Asics GLV - 10.5

Asics Saga - 10

Puma R698 / XT2 - 10

Adidas EQT Guidance - 9.5

Brooks Chariot - 10

New Balance US 996 / UK 577 / UK 1500 - 10

Le Coq Sportif Eclat - 10

Reebok Ventilator - 10

Nikes I used to be ok in 10 / 10.5 generally.

All in US sizes for the majority here, I tend to need a bit more width around the first lace holes.

repped.  most of my hoimes say TTS or snug.  so i don't understand why some people even say you can .5 down.  lol

Kush finally came... Looks like each section of the midsole they painted overlaps the next, sloppy. And there's even a few bubbles and a small spot with no paint. Also a crack on one shoe between the midsole and upper. Glue very visible. Am I being too picky?
