Let me know if these Jordan Sneakers are a must buy for you!
Totally understand!! Im a size 14 and they dont make enough of those. It's a ton of great stuff coming out this month but I'll be satisfied with just grabbing these! Great review as always!
Bro…. It makes me feel better to know even Eddie is going through THE SAME EXACT BULLSHIT I go through every time I buy sneakers!! Ahhh I go up in size I feel like I could have went down. I go down in size and I worry that I should have went up. NEVER FAILS! I have tons of boxes of sneakers that I just sit and get angry about not being the right size. Wish we could just walk into a store try them on in 12.5/13/13.5 and walk out with the perfect pair every time.
yeah sometimes you just have do some research, see folks who have them early comment on fit and see if they are true to size and hope its the right one
That video where you demonstrate the need to attempt a half size up has benefitted me really well. Knowing how the 5's are, i was really curious if you were going to stick with that philosophy for these haha.
I went through the exact same experience-same size as you and all. It wasn’t until I worked a summer job, spending the entire day on my feet, that I realised why my feet were in pain by the end of the day. I tried different shoes from my collection, but nothing really helped. It got so bad that it took weeks for the aches to disappear after wearing the wrong size shoes.
That experience gave me a whole new perspective on how much your feet can expand throughout the day and how they react after hours of bearing weight and constant movement.
I started buying half a size up in models I liked, such as the Air Max 1’s, but even then, they still felt too tight-like they were choking my feet. Something just didn’t feel right. Eventually, I decided to measure my feet properly, and to my surprise, I discovered that my true size was actually a 12. I was shocked-I had been wearing shoes a full size too small this whole time! But because I was only wearing them for short periods, I never really noticed, and of course, I didn’t know any better.
Now, I’ve been selling off my collection of size 11s and replacing them with size 12s. In the process, I’ve managed to curate a whole new collection and style, giving my wardrobe and style a complete refresh. And I can safely say my feet have never felt better. I had been missing out on so much comfort for so long! It made me realise that most shoes are actually comfortable-you just need to get them in the right size.
A great example of this is the Air Max 95. The general consensus is to go half a size up, but if you didn’t know that, you might think they’re the most uncomfortable shoes in the world, even when buying what you assume is your “true size.” So yeah, it really comes down to your true size, how wide your feet are, and the specific model-because not all models fit the same (obviously).
My tip is: if your big toe can touch or rub against the front of the toebox when you walk, shoe feels too narrow, or if the instep of your foot is constantly rubbing against the tongue, it’s a good sign they’ll be a nightmare if you wear them for too long.
12.5 gangs here. Same issue for me. Went from 11.5 to 12.5 from age 35-40, 12.5s always always always expensive. But pro tip, the women’s 14 is almost always cheaper and more readily available than the 13.5. So when they do the women’s exclusive drops like Ama, it plays to our benefit.
I’ll buy the 12.5 from you if you want to change them out
Yessss to a how-to style video on these. I’m really liking these but they’d be my first 5s ever so that would be perfect! Love all the videos Eddie. Hope your new born is doing well too!
Eddie lowkey has more kicks than everybody. Stay winning my dude.
I used to get size 9s in my jordans, nikes, and vans. Last year i had to give up some pairs coz it was excruciatingly painful to wear them. Last week i was fitting some shoes in the outlets expecting to be a 9.5(i assumed my feet became wider). Lo and behold, i discovered that i might be a size 10 now in jordans, air maxes, even adidas superstars.
This upload was so timely. I guess i’m not alone in this.
Can you drop a how to style video? Thanks great video
Great content Eddie. I love how you offer advice for fitting size and styling. Also I like your hoodie.
11 to a 12.5 is crazy. You just didn’t know your size bro.
Nah not the case, my true size used to be an 11.5, 5 + years ago Jordan sneakers ran big, so I’d buy some a 1/2 size down (11), now I’m a size 12 and they’ve updated the fit on almost all retro releases. They now fit more TTS and some run snug, so sometimes 12.5 needs to be copped. What’s crazy is them changing the fit / last so often
@@Eddiewinkicksthis
I know what you mean. My true size is 12.5 and the struggle is real😢. But like you, I only go with my true size on certain models as a lot of Nikes and Jordans run big so I go with a sz 12 and certain shoes like most SB dunks don't come in 12.5 so I have to get sz 13.
I feel your pain, bro. From my experience, I have learned over the years that in Jordan 2’s, 6’s, 8’s, 10’s, 11’s and 13’s I need a 12.5 every other Jordan I need a size 13 lol it’s very weird tbh
I had to sell all my size 12 sneakers that I owned over the last decade, my feet have grown, I’m now around a size 12.5/13!!
I haven’t replaced all my shoes as it’s way too expensive, so I just bide my time and wait for retro’s etc.
Neon 95’s being my next pair I look to get.
Anyone in their early late 20/ early 30’s be warned! Your feet will grow!
Best 5s of all time hands down. Better than my charcoal off whites, which I wear White laces in. And agreed on Bigger sizes!
That Jordan 5 Retro OG Black Metallic Reimagined was a 🔥🔥
The AJ5 is one of my favorite Jordans. When I really got into sneakers back in 2010, the Wolf Grey 5s were my first pair of retros followed by the True Blue 3s.
@@aaronlong4286 wolf grey’s were one of my first Jordan 5’s as well, those materials were awesome! Only downside was that they yellowed in a bad way instead of a good way, glad they’re coming back
Crazy I been following you long enough to remember you wearing a size 11 .. 😅
you should see the sadness on my face when I stumble across a pair of size 11 Jordan's in my sneaker collection.... Jordan 7 Bordeaux for example ughhhh pain
@ I can only imagine man .. I know you have plenty of heat you can’t wear anymore
@Eddiewinkicks I know exactly how u feel ..u gotta kinda start all over on ur collection but it's a good feeling when u have your true size & every shoe fits u perfect....those Bordeaux will re-release again 1day don't worry..I just hope they release the 2011 version bcuz its so much better than the 2015 version.
@@kernsferm8709I’m lowkey in the process of starting my sneaker collection right now, I’ve already gotten rid of about half my pairs
The sizing calculation us sneakerheads have to do. 😵💫
Madness
First and foremost, yes please on the how to style vid. Second, these to me are perfect and a must cop!
Just got into the sneakers in 2024 and realized that 12.5 is my size, been a nightmare
I am currently going through the same thing. Started as 10.5 in my youth, then settled in at 11 for a long time, and now I'm 11.5 for the extra widtn and 12 with sock liner type sneakers like Air 180s. The struggle is real.
Definitely looking for the fit video for the 5’s
I always like how you drum your fingers on the shoe box! It’s an Eddie staple!
The sizing is all over the place.. tough to know until you get then in hand
Size 32 go crazy lol. Jordan 5’s have always fit me bigger than 3’s. I always get a half size smaller in 5’s. Great video
I can relate💯💯💯 I’m a true size 9.5 but everyone says go down half a size for certain NBs and so I’ve go some 9s but tbh I’d rather have 9.5 or even 10s. Kobe 6s I’d definitely rather have 10s
Most of my collection of Jordan brand and Nike are my true size (size 11) and fit me great in that size. There are random silhouettes that just fit me better in a half or whole size up, which makes it hard to buy without trying on first. Most recently, it took me three tries to get the right size of the Book 1 “Forrest Gumps”, and ended up going up a whole size (11 to 12) before I found a tolerable fit. Now I’m sitting on two extra pairs that don’t fit! 😅
Once I started adding New Balance shoes like 990v3/v4’s and 2002r’s it’s 11.5 for sure. I’m glad I tried those on in store before buying online.
If possible, always try a particular silhouette on in store to know for sure before buying.
As a wide footer since birth I always have a sizing crisis lol. I could fit in 8, 8.5, and 9s all depending on shoe brand and shoe model. That being said J5s have always been wide foot friendly so it makes sense why the 12.5 fit big.
Get a sneaker anti crease. Might fit more tight. Sometimes it's best to get Jordans at bigger sizes to squeeze anti crease. My 3s have anti crease and they still look out the box. Get em of Amazon
I don’t care who uploads! If I see EddieWin uploaded… IM WATCHING!
Eddie your foot grew again, not the unicorn 12.5.
Im from colombia and i really like you pronunciation. I understand each word that you say even without speak english completly. Love u content btw.
Just copped in a raffle here in Australia. Used to be size 11, but now I need 11.5. Can't wait for them to be delivered.
Your absolutely right the sizeing with nike is terrible so now what i do is buy two different sizes and return the other problem with this is you might lose a dollar or 2 on return if you did not get the same pair in the store ... but comfort is key had to let go of alot of Ds heat because my feet widened up with age especially just tapping into the 40's
I'm about try and but these metallic Jordan 5's in a size 12 do the same exact comparison
The sizing thing is no cap...worse with adidas imo. Yes drop a style video u know the people want it lol
This was my very first pair of Js in 5th grade. Shoveled driveways for a month to buy them. Not much of a J5 guy nowadays but I have to cop these
Very true … I wear a 10.5 and on Sunday I purchased two pair of 1s at size 11 and they fit way better than the 10.5 … first time ever putting my feet in a pair of 11. As an adult I went from size 9 to 10 and now an 11
Definitely copping a pair this Saturday! 😅 also, I was waiting for you to drop a video on these for sure! As I saw them in the background while you was just ranting on the guys that don't wear pink sneakers 🤦♂️ it's all good bro people sometimes just don't have anything else to do but to criticize. I personally don't wear pink sneakers because it's just not for me unless I find one that really catches my eyes... anyways dude, I can't wait to see some 🔥 fits with them 5's. You always give some good ideas and choices brother! Stay blessed my guy!
Also going through a foot crisis lol, switching out alot of my size 14s for 13s but really the perfect size for me is a 13.5 which is so very rare made in nikes 😭
Yea same here on being that 13.5 size lol but 13 is too small I tried with the black toe 14s for my birthday and my feet were crying lol had to resell them, waiting for a $280> size 14 on those
SOLE MAPS got me my pair today! Love them!
Eddie also your feet do move slightly forward as you stand up.
Been sitting on My pair since Oct 2k24 🔥🔥🔥 in hand btw & a perfect "ReImagined" on this! ✌🏽

Man sneaker will always have a place in my heart but been wanting to grab some nice pairs of boots. Have some red wings iron rangers but want a pair of whites or wesco
i have always found that jordan 5s run a bit big (1/2 size) - but even that isnt consistent from Nike...
Yup!
I am definitely getting those this coming weekend when they officially release. Once I get them in hand I will be a big stepper. 😂
I’m so happy to have narrow feet. Completely agree about the materials.
If you have narrow feet Nike’s are A LOT easier to wear
Can’t wait to get my pair Saturday
I've got the same problem. Im a natural 9.5. I got the Black Cement 3s in a 10 because of early reviewers saying it fits a bit snug. I have the 2018 pair in a 9.5 and they feel fine. I guess the way the new black cement is shaped in the toe box makes run narrower than the 2018 pair. So I half sized up. I have a pair secured for the black metallic 5s and I chose to go with a 9.5. I know 5s usually run a bit bigger.
So, Im a TTS 12, but with a slightly wide foot, and bro does it suck when I need to size up, cause I want to avoid 13s (which are also not even always part of every size run), and yeah it feels like at best only 5-10% of shoes even come with a 12.5 great vid as always, homie!
Blessings to u and your family.
How to style video please 😊
I’m a true size 11. 11.5 in Air Max and Gel Lyte III & V. Possibly can get away with a 11.5 in Vomeros but I go 11. Can go 10.5 in Jordan 1s if I’m thirsty enough 😅. My top 3s are my only 10.5
i used to be 10.5 in AJ1 LOW OG but the pair i own is small for me now and now my size is 11!!
I always felt like 5s were a little spacious or boot like aswell as air forces. I rather go half size down on them
What’s good Eddie congrats on being a father 🙏🏼💪🏼
I am hoping to bag a pair on the Nike app here in 🇬🇧 and it states that the uppers are a mix of leather and synthetic uppers? Where is the leather?
Need those
Drop the fits with 5s vid Eddie !! & I go after all & any OG colorways.
As someone who been wearing a size 10.5 to a size 13 since 9th grade high school , I’m just starting to figure this out myself, I think the more sneakers you get , you start to tell the difference 😂😂😂😂
Going fot them tomorrow. Size 12.5! I can grab them from you if i catch L’s ✌🏻
I’m a 13.5 think that might be harder to deal with !
I agree about the foot size I went from 13 to 14 and I'm 47
Took me a long time to figure out I was a true 12.5. I used to but 12s only then started getting 13 when I thought my shoes were too small. Then realized I had too much room in most 13s. Then I probably tried my first 12.5 at Burlington or Marshall’s. They get these sizes frequently because it’s such a rare size. I bounce between 12 and 12.5 now depending on shoe fit. I honestly don’t mind it being harder to get shoes now. I’m weaning my way out of the sneaker game a little. Priorities are changing. Welcome to the 12.5 club 😅
Dude I bought so much in size 11 and after losing weight I'm down to a size 10. Gotta sell some of the size 11s
Congrats! 💪🏼
I go down half a size on Jordan 5's
Thanks for showing us what a fedex truck looks like
Thanks for showing us what a black circle looks like
I went from 11.5 to 12 recently.. 12 is bad enough on pairs, I can't do a 12.5 😅. Retail or nothing on these tho
I feel ur pain bro ...I'ma 12 and need a 12.5 in a lot of jays ....never can find 12.5....its super rare
Hey Eddie thanks for the sizing tips, I normally go for a 11.5 in 5s because I love a snug but comfortable fit. In your opinion, based on the raging bull 5s you have vs these black metallics, which ones fit better? And do you think you could’ve also went to an 11.5 in them like you did with the raging bulls?
Don’t feel bad bro I’m through it to with sneakers sizing Nike making them small or big I’m like u I’m just going to go a size bigger
I don't think you can compare the sizing on the black cement 3 and metallic 5 because they've always fit differently. 3's typically fit TTS while 5's normally run a smidge larger from my experience.
Ya but the fit of BC3’s has changed substantially from the 2011, 2018 and 2024 pairs
@@Eddiewinkicks Nice video! I always get frustrated with how the fit is on the new retro Jordans. Love your 'how to style' videos! Hope you’ll do one for the Jordan 5 soon!
What camo pants are you wearing?
Yep, I have always bought my Jordan fives a half size smaller than threes or fours.
Usually I’m a 10.5 but sometimes a half or full size up. Just got the Travis’s field jaxx in my size and they’re real snug. 😢
Actually wish they would have made these in all superb premium pebble possibly soft buttery leather this is coming from a 44-year-old who had the original '90s
I'd rather them be a premium leather too!
Most j's are true to size to me its just 11's im unsure of
I've been good with true to size in Jordans for a long time, but in the Jordan 3s after the WC Reimagined I've found 3s to be snug. Had to go up from a 14 to a 15 in the BC3. 14 was way too tight. Other silhouettes still work with a 14.
Hope I don’t have to when I get older, I’m 33 now and truly wear a 13.5 but I’ve been getting a size 14 since 9th grade and it’s always been a little bit more room for my toes.
glad none of these appeal to me except for lucky shorts
I’m 55 and for years I always wore a 12 but as I got Oder I started having back issues which affected my legs and feet. So I had to go up to a 13 because 12 1/2’s are scarce. Besides for me I’d rather have them a bit roomier. Also being a bit bigger I don’t have to lean over so much to put them. People ask why don’t I stop wearing Jordan’s and go with “dad shoes”. I have a few New Balance and Nike Vomero’s but I’ll never stop wearing my Jordan’s
Really hoping I can get a pair of these black metallics for retail come release day
Wishing you good luck!
It will be a wide release - for sure: Champs, Foot Locker, JD, Nike stores, boutiques.. etc...
@ true but seems like more ppl want these than recent grs so they might actually sell out. Restocks might be the way to go but we’ll see
How to style hell yeah
Where can you buy them early ?
I linked them in the description
I wear a size 12 typically, but not so much in some air max and jordan 12s......I can go down half a size, it is weird lol
Hahah wow
Banned 1’s don’t count. Nobody getting those excepts influencers and resellers 😂
Ya and resell prices are gonna land around $350-$400, retail is $250 making it seen reasonable for people taking L’s, gonna be a lot more people with them than you’d think, genius move by Jordan brand, their margins are probably substantially higher on those pairs than normal retro’s, they only have to move a 1/4 of the volume
I wear 10.5 but I had to buy 3s in 11. I
The lines are not 3M bro loool and I've got black reflective laces in my ones to make up for the fact that the lines don't not reflect and my ones look cold
“3M type look, it’s a grey material” I didn’t say it’s 3M
35 and my feet still going strong for now lol
Great shoe, but I'm just not a 5 guy, don't need another white-based 3, stupid Nike/JB is making the '85 Black/Red unobtainium with manufactured scarcity (and I'm not paying resale), so probably just trying for Black Toes this month. I COMPLETELY identify with your sizing crisis. This has been my entire sneaker life. All these dudes that just say "I'm a size X" and are just able to seemingly buy that size in everything without issue. I'm all over the map and these brands don't make it easy (especially you, Adidas).
If my feet get wider with time, this would actually make sneakers fit better. I have long, narrow and flat feet. I usually go half a size down in Jordan 2 and 3. I got the black cement in my true size and its fine. But New Balance made in us, true to size. Asics? Somewhat short so simetimes need a half size up. But I buy length baed because I dont need the extra width.
Is a shoe longer and has width? Unweable for me. My feet will just come out.
Shoes that are known to be tight or snug? If there is length, they usually fit me perfectly.
Foot shapes are just weird.
I also hope to get these tomorrow. I dont have any 5’s at the moment and they look great.
I'm a 12.5 those are facts being told here bro I actually move to size 13
I traditionally go down a half-size in 5s. Hopefully they won't be toe-crushers.
Can I buy them off you?
Jordan 5s are already one of the longest looking shoes ever made so bigger sizes in these really start to look like a 🤡 shoe thats my only pet peeve with 5s as a size 11.5 is they always look so long on foot
Yo Win thank you for the video. Probably not the right place for this, but since you're talking about sizing...... I do understand most people don't know their shoe size. The foot has evolved in a way that we are getting used to scrunching our toes into an issue and most people know that as the norm. But for Health, your toes being able to breathe and spread out a one-to-one fit is ultimately not the most healthy. that brings me to Foamposites. Don't believe I've seen you in a pair. The 13 lengthwise is too short and the 14 is long. Have you dealt with that in a shoe that supposed to "mold to your foot" would love to participate in the galaxies, but not if I can't wear them

I googled: How many different types of Jordans are there?" A couple of the answers said 39. Some additional info: The Jordan Brand (shoes and clothing?) is a multi-billion dollar business that generates billions of dollars in revenue each year. In 2023, the Jordan Brand brought in $6.59 billion in revenue, which was about 13% of Nike's total sales for the year.
Yo I used to buy my Jays in a size 11.5 until I clipped my toenails and realized im an 11
Lmao, fun fact sneaker designers estimate that trimmed toe nails account of .25 of shoe sizes and the same with thick socks. So if you have long toe nails and wear thick socks that’s 1/2 a shoe size
In my opinion this AJ5 and the black cement AJ3 look clownish on your feet. 12 might be your new real true size. Never heard of a 1.5 size increase in adults
I literally said 12 is my true size
Scary buying from StockX I rather wait
Personally I’ve never had an issue, but the type of pairs I buy on the StockX platform are probably different than others, I don’t buy much of the “high heat” stuff on any platform
Bro, those shoes look like boats on you. Get your correct size.
You’re right I should have gotten a size 5 and just given them to you
