Do the resort classic fit the same as achilles?

 

[whyme?]

Hi all, how does the TOURNAMENT LOW run sizing wise? Same as Achilles? Size down 1?

 

[Bingale]

What color pants and top would you wear with these bballs? The color is tempting me to get a pair. I like how it's different to the white and greys

^ navy or grey fleck slacks with white tee or matching shirt. I'd actually think they'd be quite versatile.

I love these light tan colors. Navy and off white (natural?) look really nice. Like oatmeal color. Or anything really warm in the orange / pink spectrum.

I'm between two sizes (40 and 41) in CPs. Wear US 7,5 in 1970s Converses and US 8 in Nike AF1. My experience with different models.

Original achilles low: sz 40 fits a bit too narrow and 41 are just too long. I prefer 40 but there's better fitting models available for me.

Original achilles mid: sz 40 fits ok. I don't wear mids anymore though.

Premium achilles lows: sz 40. Slightly less narrow than original achilles low. Fits fine and aren't too long.

Premium full-grain achilles high: sz 40. Slightly less narrow than original achilles low. Fits fine and aren't too long.

Super achilles low from ss17: sz 40. Fits fine.

Nubuck bballs from ss19: sz 41. Fits fine. Smaller than original achilles lows.

Suede achilles lows: sz 41. Slightly smaller than original achilles lows.

Retros: sz 40. Fits fine. Sold these.

very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I am also a consistent sz 8 in all Nike models (AM1, Air Jordan, etc.) and require a sz 39 in Achilles. Crazy how different our sizing is.........

i think nike runs slightly small for a lot of people

i'm a tts us 8 but have to take an 8.5 in nike, and am consistently that size in the brand


wear a 40 in cp (and am that size across all models i've tried, e.g. achilles low, 2128 bballs, track sneakers, chelseas, combat boots, derbies, etc.)

I wear US 8.5 in every other Nike model except AF1.

Looking for some of-white flat laces that match the colour of the laces in the attached image - a bluish off-white. Any ideas - ideally a UK source.

Wondering if someone else can chime in on this - I'm a pretty consistent sz 9.5 across the board, except some miUSA New Balance models I go down to a 9.

Got a pair of sz 41 Achilles and B-Balls in from Matches last week, and while I could get them on my foot, they were both unbearably tight (even barefoot). They also looked quite tight on my foot, because of my thicker ankles and wide feet (especially the Achilles).

I exchanged for a sz 42 Achilles, and it fit me great in width (slightly snug), but is slightly too long.

Should I be worried the 42 will stretch too much and eventually be too big? FWIW I have a large shoe rotation so they'd only get maybe 1-2 wears a month.

I had the same issue as you. The 40 was a bit too tight and I couldn't wear all day without it hurting and 41 was a bit longer than I wanted. Ended up keeping 41. Just wore thicker socks and would rather prefer to wear them all day instead of a few hours without pain.

Usually Bballs fit wider than achilles, the achilles is infamously narrow and long.

do you know if the BBall is shorter than Achilles? I need the width for sure, but hopefully they’re slightly shorter

not in my experience, same length just wider. Maybe because of the extra width you could size down, but i'd try one on first before purchasing if you have the ability to do so.
