Do the Kobe 9s fit real big?

I wear a 9.5 in Nikes/Free/FK and up to size 10 in Jordans but I tried on the 8.5 in the details today and they fit me just fine. I was even wearing thicker socks too.


Is it just me trying to convince myself to buy a pair?

I took the same size in Kobe 9's as I did for my other flyknits (lunar1, trainers). The fit is pretty similar to the FK lunar1. You could maybe size down .5 if you want a tight fit but I wouldn't recommend it.

I did the same as noirwest, taking my FK size. I sized up a half size in comparison to my "normal" size for the Kobe 9s.

Size reference:
Kobe 9 -- 8.5
FK Lunar 1, Racer -- 8.5
AJ1, AJ3 -- 8

Trying to figure out my size in AJ3 in between size 9.5 and 10. I am able to wear both sizes, with the width of size 9.5 being a bit tighter which is a bit uncomfortable because my side and small toe touches touches on the side. On the 10, the width is more comfortable, but length is a bit bigger than 9.5, but difference is very minor. Although, when I walked around in them seemed like the 10s bend more at the toebox. Is it true the 10s would wrinkle more than 9.5 or all in my head? I only would go with 9.5 if they stretch enough in width.

Your help is much appreciated.

I'm not sure about wrinkling but would definitely recommend erring on the large side. I have some 3s that are just slightly too small that I can't wear without feeling miserable.

Anyone else have experience with 3s?
