After about a year struggling to put on my blazers, i finally figured it out. I unlace the shoes at the first 3 holes and they just slide in. I also loosen the laces enough so that when i relace them i dont have to tie them.

[@kickitwithdang]

I was never really a fan of blazers for that exact reason - difficult to put on/take off, and they look like clown shoes when you size up or have big feet, at least on me 😂 that’s too bad tho because I can see those yellow bananas look decent at first glance

[@mariateresacrincoli4019]

To me, blazers are very uncomfortable, too!

[@DylanLey]

Do not sleep on the under retail Made in Italy Diadora shoes from Shoebacca on Ebay! I just bought a fire colorway of the N9000 from Shoebacca for a steal price! The quality is so good and there are so many fire colorways available for under retail!

[@younggotti8195]

Agreed

[@idefend_hd8195]

All cleats are different it’s not necessarily anyone’s fault even if they fit you id say odds are you’d be uncomfortable based on the shape of them, lots of cleats for me such as the mercurial vapors fit onto my foot but are tight and uncomfortable no matter the size, different styles of cleats

[@eliasbentatou6165]

As i had many indoor tournaments already i suggest the tiempo legends as an indoor soccer boot. The leather gives you a crazy touch and they last for a long period of time

I'm a size 11 in all other retro Jordans, but for some reason a size 11 Jordan 7 crushes my little toe. I found that out after wearing a pair I ordered for a couple of days. Go a half size up!

Appreciate that, bro. I wish more heads gave out sizing info more often.

[@jetshark970shark4]

I stop messing with Mitchell and ness after they started making things in china. I copped some Toronto raptors authentic shorts and they were terrible compared to years previous. For 1 they are thinner and the inner white mesh liner is thin and purple. Definitely not worth $125

[@ajm469]

ive noticed the difference in quality like in stores. they are way thin

[@kennybeans6115]

It’s unfortunate to hear that they’re now going through China aka maximizing profit margins, which is ironic because a lot of customers (even loyal ones) will abandon a brand for doing that. Tbf though, and fwiw, I recently bought a pair of the M&N Swingman MPLS Lakers shorts on Eastbay for $80 ( _not_ the M&N Authentic shorts for $125) and they were of excellent quality with that thick, retro, perforated-jersey material. I have the Nike Hardwood Classics Swingman version at the same price point as well, and though the Nikes are the more modern style/cut and look/fit better, the M&Ns are superior in quality and construction imo. (The only complaint is they’re slightly more baggier in the crotch than the Nikes. You could _almost_ get away with going one size down. Hope this helps you or anyone.) I have to ask, do you know if the (made in China) M&N Swingman shorts they’re currently selling are inferior to their previous ones that weren’t made in China?

[@jetshark970shark4]

@@kennybeans6115 Yes they are. But the swingman never really sell out so you might have gotten lucky and bought an old batch. I ordered recently ordered some authentic M&N Vancouver Grizzlies shorts for $75 and got lucky and got an old batch that still had the white inside

[@kennybeans6115]

@@jetshark970shark4 Nah, as soon as I read your op, I ran and checked my tag and it said “made in China.” It’s ok, though. Did you get the white, teal, or black Vancouver shorts? I love those teal-colored ones the best, but they’re all tough. Also, how did you get authentic M&N shorts for $75? I thought those were $125? Also, wdym by “white inside”? Does that mean white lining or white tags?

The skylon 2s were everywhere all of 2018/2019...the gradient blue/purple white color way kept selling out...nike dropped a lot of colorways and they fizzled out. To the point i bought 3 pairs for $40-$60 a piece. It's probably better to wear them now since the wave for them over.

[@Roger-bj5gj]

Most soccer cleats and indoors are very narrow and hard to put on, I’ve had a couple that are a pain to get on but they do always break in and fit, I don’t think it’s the sizing or the brand.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

I guess if you have a somewhat wide foot it just isn’t meant to be 😂

[@Roger-bj5gj]

@@Eddiewinkicks the issue is probably that it’s knitted where the ankle part like a sock to make it a tight fit, try some Nike tiempo indoors or Nike mercurial vapor, they’re both leather so they’re easier to put on.

[@Martin.Christopher]

Nice vid. I'm sure you've done it before but New Balance is great for returns and customer service. On top of several easy returns, I've dealt with their customer service a few times for issues, and they are always great about fixes and resolutions often resulting in partial refunds or legit credit (not just some BS 10% off). Also, I kind of slept on the Tailwind 79... I liked it, but didn't pull the trigger until about a month or 2 back.. I've now copped 3 pairs.

[@eiresol]

Those NB look like they're for astro turf. I wouldn't wear something with that sole for indoor.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

The type of field I play on has what looks like Astro turf but it also has the little black rubber that gets everywhere, thoughts?

[@eiresol]

@@Eddiewinkicks That's like tiger grass. That sole type is fine, although some places will say you need rubber cleets but I don't think you do. When you mentioned indoor I thought you meant like in a gym on a basketball court surface. I used to wear Adidas but always found they pinched and I'd get blisters on my toes as a result. Nike are all I've worn for years now, fit TTS, mercurials or tiempos are a good bet. Socks do matter though, especially with the light pairs of shoes as opposed to the heavy leather pairs. If you are wearing a sock as thick as a Nike Elite you may need to go up half a size. Nike crew socks are what I wear these days and there's no sizing issues with them. Cheaper to go with TTS and a new pair of socks knowing it will work well than going half size up for a thicker sock and finding the shoe uncomfortable and too big.

@@HighlyAkicktive No joke, I think of the Air Span II whenever Skylons come up, probably because Nike always recommended it to me at the bottom feed when looking at the Skylon.
