I ordered on December 19 and just got the shipping notice. I'm assuming it takes a while to get things from Shenzhen/Dongguan, China.

^^^^^^ last 2 posts ^^^^^^^ Nice. Looks like they're starting to crank them out.

Don't forget to post a (reasonably sized) pic.

Sorry man, I chickened out and ordered a copy of the Federer turquoise AO one's

That white midsole on the cool grey's would've gotten trashed anyway.

I was considering something similar with that all white midsole area but decided against it given the white is gonna get destroyed in a hurry.

Yeah, the one colour they needed to add was a grey midsole imo.

The white midsole on my retails V9s don't seem too badly discoloured although I mostly play on hard court.

I hope the grey close to the picture though - I'll be a bit disappointed if it turns out too much lighter in shade.

Got an email saying they are almost done... will be shipped in less than a week!

Almost here!

West Coast Ace · 01-19-2013, 07:24 AM

^^^^ Thanks for the update. 'Almost done' - LOL!

What was your order date? Mine was 12/24 - got the 'started work' email the next day and nothing since.

I asked this question in the other thread about posting pics of your shoes, but I figure I might get a faster response here, since the question is specifically about vapor 9's.

Anyone know how the Vapor 9's fit, some reviews people suggested you go half a size up, so I'm just wondering before I order them if I should get an 11.5 or an 11 (my normal size.)

I'm not looking to get a customized pair, just one off the web, especially since it'll be cheaper.

Doc K · 01-19-2013, 07:41 AM

I'd say stick with your regular size. If you are a Nike guy, the CB4.3s fit similarly, but the mold is obviously different. From mid-arch to the ball of the foot the Vapor is much straighter, so if you need the room in the toe box, Vapors are a better bet than Ballistecs.

I only played about one set in Barricades before I gave up on them but they seem smaller across the board.

Well normally I wear New Balance, but I heard a ton of reviews from people saying that these new Vapor 9's were more friendly to people with wider widths, so I figured why not try them out. I always hated that w/ New Balance they never had too many options open, especially for color. I also went and measured my foot using this:

I realized it was like exactly 4 inches at the widest point. But that's why I asked if they maybe run small or big, since I normally don't wear Nikes.

No shops in your town/city you could try some on? If I was buying a brand I rarely wore I would.
