Yeah they look good. Yep. I have the 12 and they're a little tight on the toes. Never bothered me too much as my foot doesn't shift in them at all.

Yeah I wouldn't pay $129 on the off chance either.

You're in Vic or SA? There's a few foot locker outlets around that have some pretty crazy prices right now. In Vic there's one in Nunawading that are routinely getting newer stuff. Not ball shoes but I got the new balance vibrams for $45 in there. Might be worth checking out as you can try everything on.

Ok WA it is.
If they've got them try the outlet stores. Otherwise Foot Locker is ridiculously expensive.

Shipping to Australia with Eastbay sucks huh. You need the 20% off deals just to make it feasible! My advice is get medium size tights instead of large. Unless you already have a pair of the large Eastbay ones and know what they're like, they're not that compressive. I recently got two small pairs and they fit fine for me with a 30'' waist even though it recommends 26-28'' (and I have bigger than average legs). You want them to be tight after all, nothing worse than loose tights.

Good tip, thanks for that. I'll get Ms. I have never worn tights before, kinda excited to try them out. I cuda got my eastbay order sent to my coz place in LA but i didn't think of it then, oh well. It's extortive how much they charge for shipping...

btw acole how do you compare compression shorts vs um full length tights? any point getting shorts at all when you can get the full ones?

It used to be alright but the cost of shipping kills it.

Really just depends on the training environment. For instance, when I first started aths training last summer I only had long tights. Being around 35degC average when I was training, long tights were just way too hot and I got a pair of compression shorts pretty soon after joining. If you're only training indoors or in a cool climate then full length are probably better than shorts, but they're so cheap on Eastbay it doesn't hurt to throw a short pair in as well.

Missed out on that, this is my first atttempt with them

thanks that helps. i went with 2 pairs of longs and one top. I figure im only going to use the top for basketball which i'll play 1x a week so that shud be enuf. With pants i'll prob be using one for lifting/running/etc and one for games, so that shud be enough for now. in future/summer i might try shorts too but dont need them for now.

My worst buy was a pair of t-macs for the same reason a few years back. Needed a pair urgently and they were cheap. They were also bricks and I'm surprised I could even get off the floor in them.

lol, paragraph to come will be fitting. i ordered a different pair of shoes, NIKE AIR VISI PRO IV. actually i bought the pair from local sports store first, they cost $100.  I went to 4 stores total. Then saw them on eastbay for $55. so im gonna try return them tmr, that's almost 2x as much, and i can get all the tights stuff for free pretty much. had an epiphany that im probably best suited just wearing 12s instead of finding the elusive 12.5 (non existent in australia pretty much, half sizes end at 11.5). it's ridiculous how much better i move in a pair of 13s (i own but never wear) compared to  the 14s i always use. my footwork is so much better, i can actually play the post bc it feels so much more natural backing up. now im imagining how good it will be to play in 12s. have to wear thin socks but thats cool.

man that makes me want to get some hyperdunks. they look awesome.

they sure do. i'd love to get a pair but i'd like to try them out for size first. let us know how you find them if you get a pair. also are you get lows? 

High tops are probably the worst thing in human mechanics.

2 handers with ease.
