still haven't picked mine up yet. was tryna wait a week so i can get 2 pairs on disco
 
I haven't gotten my pair in yet to experience the creasing but for the people who already have, what do you think about throwing a sneaker shield in there to prevent it? Idk if it's really going to bother me that much, but I'm just curious to know what others would think about the idea
 
Called niketown seattle and they don't know anything about a sonics cw of the gloves, if anyone in seattle can confirm, is this in certain stores only release?
 
Just got my pairs in and just to reiterate ....the white leather is not the business. Already creased just from walking a few steps. Other than that I have no complaints.
Damn.... leather creases? What a shock....

No release date announced. Only details were from GPs instagram when he posted the picture
 
 
They do it ALL THE TIME. And there is NO forefoot zoom in the retro. You are mistaken. 
The Nike Zoom Rookies is a prime example of a shoe that is falsely advertised.. Absolutely no Zoom air in those at all..
naw, they dont...i used to work for nike..they dont put those keywords on shoes or boxes without it actually being in there...

zoom rookies got zoom air too, its night and day compared to da 1/2 cent.
 
anyone on here order from endclothing? I emailed them today and they responded by saying they would get these shoes in Nov? and would ship them out, I'm referring to the black and white ones? Is their anywhere in the states that still has these? So I cancel my order and order them somehwere else.


I ordered from end as a backup


I dont mind the waiting or having another pair... but I ordered a 12.5 and dont think they made 12.5 at all in these.

Can anyone confirm ?

Not trying to have them hang on to my money for another month just to wind up canceling my order because I paid for a size that doesnt exist.
pretty sure 12.5s were made. I bet ndc releases that size. You should be good.


now that i think about it nike should have given gary payton his own box for these shoes... instead of the nsw orange box
Then we'd be paying $160 instead of $145. Im good, I don't wear the box.

Anyone know when eastbay is shipping out? Phone ordered with 3 day shipping and forgot (well lady never asked either) to give them my email to track them. Smh lol
My eastbay order is scheduled to arrive to me tomorrow in California.

just like the 25psi on older air max... That's why they stopped doing that, because over time the pressure goes lower.

It's kind of false advertisement. I think I read that Nike got sued for that.

Whether there's zoom in the forefoot on these, I'm not sure. I haven't worn my pair yet, but as long as there's zoom in the shoe somewhere, then nike should be ok with the "zoom" label on the outsole?

Props to another retiree. :)

Mine are done too. I may still break them out from time to time, but for the most part, I'm running the retros to the ground. :Lol
 
anyone else having a little discomfort where the little velcro strap and the front of ur ankle meets when all the way zipped up? nothing major or nothing a pair of longer socks won't fix, just wondering though

Yep. I had the same problem with the OG, and I'm still having that problem. I usually mess with them open, so I don't have to worry.

Just a little bit. I'm gonna have to try some longer socks when I plan on wearing them zipped up.

Got mine today and I had to break em out already.... Got em at Tanforan Shoe Palace in San Bruno Bay Area peoples... I think they had a sz 8.5 left
 
Is the NDC restock confirmed for tomorrow?  Seen a couple say Thursday, others say Saturday
 
Not feeling the "heat" colorway.
I might grab orange or yellow laces and throw them on the black pair I just got.
I need the Seattle color way tho
