Who should not buy it

Buy half a size larger than usual

In terms of fit and sizing, the long nike SB Blazer Court Mid Premium is on the narrow end, according to several testers. “They run so small that I had to re-order 1/2 size larger,” reported a tester. According to another reviewer, the toebox is “low and tight.” An expert sneaker tester seconded saying that there is a little bit of pressure on both sides of the shoes near the toebox. “Remember to half size up,” they added.

… but the laces fell short 

However, another issue that sneaker fans pointed out is the laces. One tester shared that they find it hard to wear the kicks without unlacing them completely. “The laces are way too short,” they added. Several reviewers also emphasized that the top eyelets are somewhat useless. “The laces are not long enough and you cannot lace the top two eyelets,” shared one skater.
