How is sizing J.?

Enjoy ya addiction!

@Jordan23

gonna write a few lines when I have a min…

sizing: US9 JPN 27 pretty much on par with a standart US 9 PF Flyers model and a tad (minimal) bigger than a tagged 70s Converse US 8.5 / UK 8.5 / JPN 27, depending on your feet and fit like, I would go for the same JPN size or a half down if you prefer / wear a snug fit.

JPN 26 = US 8
JPN 265 = US 8.5
JPN 27 = US 9

and so on...

sizing on the lows might be different

Nice choice champ

I like those made in Japan one's, Rocket. I saw the new Made in USA versions and I have to say, some of the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. Felt so fucking cheap. At $140 I feel embarrassed for anyone buying them.

Mine arrived today and can't say I'm embarrassed   Super comfy and light weight, just like a pair of NB's. My first pair of PF's and I'm liking the change from chucks. I went for the black, will post some pics in the coming days.

no first hand from me, but I'm not going to buy a pair anyway…

Idle curiosity, given some folks obsession with super clean sneakers, what's the preferred way to wear the canvas standards? Do you prefer the fresh from the box look, or beaten and well worn?

[Anesthetist]

I like my boots worn in, sneakers new, and my canvas beaten.

[JCMx800]

I did it like @rocket and ordered the Japan made high tops. Let's see how I like em

[JCMx800]

Oh yeah
