I got my velocity blues with a discount code lol. I went day first thing in the morning on release day though in LA. No one was really checking for them yet. There was one other guy from Minnesota and he wore them out the door lol.
I couldn't get a decent fit in the GT cut 2 but the I agree about the GT Cut 1s. They were just ok. Not worth the resale or the hype.
There is a quite a bit of hype on shoe message boards though lol.
The rules are different all over lol. I don't even play to win at this point. I just play to try some moves out against defense and have a respectable score lol.
I have the book 1s. I found that the Cut 3s fit a tiny bit narrower in the midfoot and longer. There isn't as much taper in the toe of the cut 3s though.
I'd say the cushion is thick and soft. I'm not sure what is mean by extraodinary but it feels really good imo. It feels like the NB 1080 but for hooping.
I bought the Grey Day version. The color is amazing but they're super narrow compared to the other colors. I hope I got a bad pair.
Hikes fit a little larger in the toebox than the other colors imo. I think I experienced something similar. Must be the materials. I still went half size up though lol
The WOW1Os had that low to the ground Harden Boost feel to me. I only played in them once before giving up on them though. I'm thinking of giving them another try. I really like that hall of fame colorway.
