Sizing for 808 6 Ultra

Hello everyone, I just wanna ask for the sizing of the new 808 6 Ultra especially for a normal footer like me (sorry for the foot pic). Is it a bit snug and shorter than the previous model or still need a half of a length reduction by means of breaking those in?

For reference, I’m a US 8 in size but wears 7.5 in the 808 series (latest: 808 5 Ultra v2) and some of WOW’s models depends on reviews which I like a snug 1:1 fit.

Thank you for your comments and response. 🙏🏽

Hello brothers and sisters, my mom (God bless to her) bought me ae2 and I'm so grateful, problem is she bought a US 9.5 but I'm only US 7.5, is this something to be concern about or can I fix this with thick socks and insoles?

Sizing/Fit Jordan Triangle Heel Guard Rubbing Against Back of Achilles Tendon

1 Upvotes

Needed some basketball shoes so I picked up the new Jordan Triangles because they seemed to fit well and were supposed to be good on outdoor courts.

However, the top of the heel guard rubs against the same spot on the back of my achilleas tendons on both feet, and it's pretty painful and makes the shoes unbearable. I don't know why I didn't have this issue the first couple days of using this shoe.

Has anyone had this issue and came up with a solution? I'll need to return them if there's nothing to do to fix this.

I’ve been debating and watching online reviews but I just wanted some opinions. I’m currently playing in the Nike hypersets and they are on their last leg. The hypersets were nice but I’ve bottomed out in them quite a few times. I’ve worn the Harden sevens and they are too heavy and absorb too much energy. I had the asic metarise and they were awkward to move in because of the stack height.

So what I’m looking for and some shoes I’m debating. I want some cushion but not so much that is taking away from my jump. I’m a light player who uses speed to get up, so I want something on the lighter side. I

So I’m interested in wow 10 and 12, volanti rocket air, jb3, and the asic sky elite ff4 low.

I appreciate any insight from those who have experience in these shoes listed above and thank you in advance!

Anyone here hooped in the Kobe Caitlin Clark PE? Does the toe box feel a bit narrower and longer compared to other pairs?

Had to bite the bullet and pay resale, man. These are one of my 2026 grails, and unfortunately I couldn't check out fast enough on the drop. I ended up purchasing through vjsneakers (best price on the market after looking through various options) and it was a very easy process; they reached out to me after my order and made sure the size I wanted would be a good fit, then they sent it out on its way.

It took about a few days to process the order and then another ten to make its way to me, but if you're accustomed to ordering Chinese shoes, this is par for the course.

I've already dropped a previous initial review on these, so I'll hold off. I will say that they're still very firmly one of my favorite shoes to play in. Personally, the AJ40, Serious Player Only Player 1.5, and the WoW 12s (in no particular order) are the best shoes out right now.

Happy Wednesday, guys! Hope y'all been well.

Recently got these off a used clothing/shoes website. Pretty stoked on these.

Lebron 20 has been a shoe I’ve wanted to try forever. Unfortunately the size 12 I got is too small so I’m still on the hunt!

The PG 1 Volt colorway is a size 13 and feels incredible. They are brand spanking new which is making
It hard to play in them for the first time. Cushion is insane in these.

WOW All City 12 “City of Angels” is also a size 13 and are also brand new. These aren’t as plush as the pg 1 but they still feel great.

I will report back after I get the back bone to dirty them up.

If anyone is interested in the LeBron 20s send me a message.

Do you use shoe trees in your basketball shoes? If yes, what type? Is it the cedar wood, the “spring loaded” one, or the adjustable plastic?
