Finally got these shorts. Absolutely love them. Only problem is I'm a bit unsure what kicks will look best. I have quite a few Nike and Adidas options but not loving any. Thinking I should pick up a pair of AF1s to rock with these and my green and brown cord shorts. Any ideas (besides off white prestos :( )

(They also sent me the most wrinkled pair)

AF1’s would work great but I think Common Projects Bballs are the way to go with these if you want a slightly less sporty look. I know what you mean about trying to get Nikes and Adidas to look good with them. I know they are a basketball short, but they look smarter if that makes sense. That’s what I’m going to/have wear/worn with mine anyway.

i would like to get kane 2 but i always prefer to get stretchy denim as my tighs are quite big due to squats, do you think those would be enough durable and not tight to destroy them quickly ?
Durable yes, Tight, depends on how you size and how big your thighs are, its a slim/relaxed model so shouldn't be too tight

I don't have the CP lows but have really similar ones from Epaulet. I'll try that out too.

Reality is they'll probably be mostly worn with Nike slides all summer Haha.

so to compare i have cast 2 in size 34 and those are a bit too tight on me, i mean they are wearable but it's not too comfortable.

I'm 6'3", roughly 190 w/broad shoulders. Should I go with an XL in the bowling shirts? I'm an XL in flannels for reference if that helps. Don't want it to be fitted/tight on me.

Circling back around on this, hoping someone can give some insight. Can't return it so don't want it be too fitted/too baggy.

That’s interesting that you say that, I tried on the cord thumper (type 3) and had to size up on that, but went tts on the jacquard thumper

I have a L Bogota and now may grab that Jacquard thumper... Think I should stay L?
