Jordan Legacy 312

I really wasn't into this design. Part of it was personal distaste of Jordan Brand possibly trying to push another fusion by using Don C's name, part of it was there's too much going on, and it also looked puffy in early pics.

Reviews played a huge part in my interest now. They were getting positive remarks not due to hype, but quality. In-hand this is like new leather car smell. No glue or crap on my pair. For the money from Nike/Jordan, it's not expected.

The clearer explanation of the sum of its parts helped as well. Most apparent is the Jordan 1 upper with the tooling, eyelets, and heel tab from the Jordan 3. Strap is from the Air Trainer 1. I didn't like the elephant print (tbh could still do without), but it could be from the Air Force STS. Having a more uniform colorway otherwise helped imo. Truth be told I was considering the Spizike in this colorway too.

Toe area has a lot of room, and I think that's because the Jordan 3 midsole may be deeper than the Jordan 1's, or the redesign at the toe for the strap wasn't quite the perfect execution. But as a casual shoe there's no complaints. It has decent space from the midfoot and back to accommodate most sizes while still not being loose. Strap can help if you really want to play in the shoe.

This colorway is $150. Footlocker VIP rewards can kick in too. I believe all the other colorways have been $160, but something to note is the tongue doesn't have the "Just Don" branding. I mean nothing personal against the guy or anyone's taste, but I like the more...understated branding here. But either way, I like the materials for this price and am gonna be more comfortable treating these like beaters.

My new latest pick-up which i consider being late for the party as i copped them months after its release but still managed to get it $30 above retail for the Puma Thunder Spectra aka “Dad Shoe” which is not bad considering that the shoe has a nice premium leather materials as they were all soft to the touch from its suede finish to the smooth toe box leather. Next up i paid below retail for the restock of Air Jordan 3 Black Cement that I got from Dicks sporting goods. Its a long story and battle behind why i got it for $30 cheaper Msrp, but its all good though.

Nice pick up

Hey anyone here own a Jordan 32 xxxii? I'm curious since I can't try on if they are true to size. Many recommend going up half size!

Help. Sale ending today and my wife is headed to finish line for me lol. Only half size up available. I normally wear 11 and this is available 11.5.... might it work? @Ventruck did u have a set?

 

[V2oak]

Rather go big and it will be easier to adjust than wearing small shoes that will hurt ur foot afterwards

I went true to size and it works for me. I think the upper has some kind of elastic built in (think like a more elaborate version of the Jordan 10), so the first few try-ons are tight.

* would also add, in my limited experience, you might prefer 29/30 platform more if you like that already. The 32 is actually really nice, but the older platform plants itself in a particular way. Westbrook had Nike make the hybrid 30.5 during the 31 release, and he sometimes went back to it last season until his signature dropped.

Great advice. Finish line has me about to take the leap on a 0.5+ larger size. I really like the why not Russ colorway on xxx2. I have Jordan xx9, Melo M10 (xx8), and Melo M11. You are right I love that cushion setup. I just wanna try something new. For $80 with the risk to go half size up? I guess I'll find out. I hope not too long.
