yo what up peace and blessing to the family it's your big homie jared with the retro insider back
0:14
again with another sizing video helping you get the right fit in this nike air alpha force 88 so
0:22
this is the classic retro basketball sneaker um that's coming out in many different color ways here
0:29
in the mid to latter part of 2023, I was able to get this OG colorway in the sneaker
0:35
Nike sneakers, which I'm 100% happy with. This isn't a full review
0:42
I'm just going over the sizing, but just to let you know, I love this sneaker. So I'm a kind of a retro head
0:48
as you probably already know. So it's no surprise that this was something
0:52
that I had to get. So like I said, retro 80s Nike basketball sneaker
0:58
kind of puts you in the mind of that Air Trainer 1 kind of shoe
1:03
And surprisingly enough, or maybe not surprisingly enough, they do fit similar
1:08
So as most of you know, if you've been following me for a while, I wear a 12 and 11 and a half in some shoes
1:15
but mostly a 12 and especially at Nikes. So with this shoe, I definitely went with a 12
1:20
and I'm glad I did because it fit like a glove. And I was actually surprised at how well it fit at a 12
1:27
Even with the shoes loosely laced it definitely a nice secure fit on these So that leads me to believe that if you do have a wider foot or prefer a more loose fitting shoe you could possibly go up a half size in this particular
1:44
sneaker so uh yeah the air alpha force 88 is pretty much true to size but if you like
1:52
a looser fit or have a wider foot i would definitely recommend going up a half size so
1:58
So as far as me, my toe was, I'm not going to say right at the edge, but close to it
2:03
but not to the point to where it was uncomfortable. And of course, this is an all leather shoe
2:09
So over time, as you wear it, of course, it'll break in mold to your foot and would probably
2:14
fit even better. But if you're concerned about, you know, foot pain, maybe in the toe box area, consider
2:22
going to half size up. but in my opinion this is one of the greatest uh retro og releases of 2023 let me know your
2:30
thoughts on the shoe uh in the comments below are you on the fence about it are you thinking
