airmax 90 GTX Infrared Red (go half a size up on them)

            Personally, I prefer this GTX Infrared Red to the OG Radiant Red.  
But they run so tight due to the many overlays they used for waterproof-ability of the shoes.  

I am debating exchanging them for even a bigger size or just keep them and wait for the material to break in finally.

Many people online told me to go at least a full size up, but my gut feeling told me that just half a size up is more than enough for me as I have narrower feet than most people, and I did choose the right size for me 10.5 US as they run kind of long.

I think if I went a full size up on them, they would be too long for me, but if I got my usual airmax 90 size of size 10 US, then it would be a bit too tight for me.  They are all leather shoes, so I think they will loosen up a bit as I use them often, but the question is how long will it take them to become a bit bigger or wider? 

I think this series is just impossible for most wide-footed people to even wear, they are very narrow, not like the current airmax 90 recraft but very similar to the OG airmax 3 (as they used to call it) silhouette.  

The color wise, the red is more like the OG red than the recent retro of the airmax 90 Radiant Red from 2020 or 2022.

They are not moving fast, and a lot of pairs have been returned I think the fit is the main issue of this amazingly beautifully series of amazingly well-crafted timeless sneakers.  

I do really love them, but I am not sure if they are even wearable in our rainy season or in the summer, the material is super thick and looks really durable.    So, I guess they are great for winter, but I bought them for this coming rainy season here.   So, I am still debating on them; I really want to keep them, but they are so tight and warm in rainy season. 

They are definitely better made shoes than the regular airmax 90 shoes, but the problem is they do not feel as comfy as the regular airmax 90.  Still, I really love them as they look so classy!
