Sean, you are a true size 9.5. You aren't a TRUE size 10. You only say that because your foot is on the wider side, prompting you to usually size up to a 10 to accommodate. Because most New Balance's accommodate wide feet, that's why you find yourself sizing down to a size 9.5. I'm size 10 in both New Balance and Nike all day. Reg width feet.
Anyone have issues with Sambas digging into your ankle/heel? I wore them for a walk around town and could barely walk in the end with the bruises and I even had thick socks on.
@@SeanGoYeah, I was so excited to get my first Sambas last month but haven’t worn them since. By the way, great review as always Sean and congrats on the curation.
Thanks for the great review as always . I liked these since the initial leaks . Had no luck on SNKRS or raffles but when I saw resell settle in the 500s ( low for Travis Scott aj1 lows ) I had to scoop up a pair . Just copped via StockX last night 🎉
Beautiful review Sean, amazing job always highlighting all the aspects of the build, quality, and your true view of the shoes. I was waiting for your review as I kno, we both got this color ratherthan the cream one, and watching this reviewwithg my pair in hand was beautiful. I Loved my pair, and I am really happy with the colorway and design by Wales Bonner, and considering this is my first Sambas ever, I am happy I got a collab series. Cheers!!
This was a solid review! You definitely can rock Samba's. They looked good on you. I have most of her Samba's SL, 76 and SL 72 pairs. I will say this pack I got the muted tan ones and the SL 76 yellow and blue was more muted but in fall of 24 the snakeskin Samba she's dropping will make up for the spring pack.
yeah I would agree with you on the nylon. Just picked up a pair of Gazelle of the same nylon material...def less than leather. But I love the subtle more muted yellow so I'm fine with my pair. Did pick up a bright yellow/orange/black Samba that's yet to show up. These are soccer shoes hence thin outsole to roll the ball with and low to the ground, perfect for the indoor game.
<<<<<<< Yes Sean I manage to get the blue and white pair. One of the greatest colorways of WB collab of all time and One of the Greatest Collab of all time! I always go half size up for sambas . You should too. There are a few sambas that you could only go true to size due to the expandable or soft leather upper. Example, Samba decon, Samba OG cardboard and samba Maha collab
Ordered mine today, I wore the hell out in the very early 2000, went jogging for 1,5 hours for many many months and years. I was a little disappointed with the last Air Structure release, they broke on my feet last summer in Thailand. The streets are uneven in Bangkok, I bent my foot and the midsole around the air pack broke. Not suitable for 90 kilo.
I loved the super tight fit by the way, the Air Structure is too loose for my taste for example. I had the last Air Max 90 Infrared and sold them instantly, too tight around the toes. I think these 180ies might be my shoes…
These look amazing, definitely giving me ASICS hidden Collab vibes but look like they go slightly harder, the box definitely does 😁great review as always, thanks Sean
