not sure if sarcasm but it's the customs they've been talking about for about a page or so now :lol
 
 
i have yet to cop a pair, still waiting for a colorway to go on clearance like my D Rose 6 :P
Hell yeah man, I cleaned house on the D Rose 6 when a bunch of them went clearance last year plus my employee discount on top of that. I guess this minimum wage retail gig has its perks. *Shrug* 
 
the Adidas store near me has some cute women working there, seems like it's a requirement to wear yoga pants too, always makes a point to stop by when I'm nearby to check out the "new arrivals"

Ha ha, so true! Are you in Southern California? I remember one of the top bosses at the one near my house had a Serena Williams type build. Tall, ripped and super curvy everywhere. Last thing I was looking at was what Adidas shoes she was wearing. It was glorious. 
 
yup SoCal
So Cal here too! We're probably checking out the same "new arrivals".

i am wondering if the size might be the cause of that piece digging into the foot, for the most part my arch is normal, and once i laced up, it pushes the upper far enough above my foot so that there's not a lot of room for the upper to fold that much to have a whole piece dig down into my foot.  either way i'm sorry to hear that the shoe is not working for you.

I actually put mine under the knife and so far it took all of the pressure off that area. I like my shoe really snug so the flex point bent downward into my foot and actually caused a blister. On my right foot it was fine because my right foot is a little smaller so the flex point just missed that area on my foot.

maybe that's why i never come across any issues with the flex point that everyone is talking about, i like my shoes a bit bigger, so the flex point on mine probably wasn't flexing as much.  if i have to wear really snug fitted shoes, it's a size 10.5, but i always go 11 TTS.
 
I went down a half size down. They are pretty snug. Wore for 2 hours last night. No issues with the flex point at all.

I've probably worn these about 4-5 times now.  First 2 wears I could NOT keep the laces tied.  I wasn't 100% sold on them until this past wear, fits great, traction, support, everything is nice.  Feels broken in enough that these are now my go to.  

Bball shoe rotation previously was Curry 2, Kyrie 2, Kobe X, and these.  These are by FAR the absolute best of my rotation, and im looking to pick up another pair of adidas hoop shoes, maybe CE's or Rose 7.  The other shoes weren't BAD, its just that these have everything I need and the second closest for me out of what I currently own was the kobe X.

I went half size down for those wondering. 
 
Agree with everything you just said. After the first 4/5 wears these really get in the groove. That isn't a long break in time, FYI. I wore my kobe XI elites for one game and my feet were craving these Vol 1's. Kobe's give my arch soreness and need break in time I'm guessing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, my xis KILL my feet and irritate my on going shin splints, I refuse to wear my xis now and their ID's with full zoom got two asg ID sitting in my shoe chest deadstock and am not planning on putting them on court anytime soon, my rotation is vol 1 and Jordan 31/30
 
Anybody know why the cargos aren't showing up on any of the major retailers release dates? Only shows gold/black pair for 3/4
 
Nike hyperchase and Nike Zoom run the one (old James hardens PE) are better imo

These adidas hardens do look really good tho lol
 
Not even close imo. Hyperchase were like playing on bricks with no court feel as far a cushion.

I agree I have all the other harden P.E.s and I think the Harden 1 is the best one I've played in so far. In my opinion full length boost kills only forefoot zoom.
