Not really feeling the elites, but then again I said the same thing about the regular 11s when I first saw them. I'll try to reserve judgement until I see them in person....try.
For me it comes down to disposable income and peace of mind. Of course I don't want to pay so much for early releases, but I'd rather do that than get stressed/pissed that I couldn't get them on release date, and have to spend hours looking for a good resale price. Also the hype for shoes in...
No enhancement was done. This was handheld with my dslr. I was too lazy to get the tripod out. If i had I could have upped the ISO for some long exposure. If I do that, it will REALLY pop.
I'll double check again in a bit. I was looking through my phone to take the photos, vs actually looking at the shoe, so maybe you guys are right. I know my phone (Nexus 5) camera isn't great. It focused okay the first couple of photos, but the last few it wouldn't really focus correctly.
You're all welcome for the pics. I just took them out of the box, and started to take a few photos. They were greener than I imagined, but then I looked closely and realized it was already glowing. I took them into my daughters closet (see Princess Sophia box, lol) and they glow BRIGHT. They...
Let me know what they say. I've been wanting the FI for a min, and just ordered, then came here and saw all the chat. I just emailed them and will tweet them as well. Paid through PayPal also, so at least I feel somewhat safe.
Some quick cell phone pics. Sorry if there are too many. There are a lot of angles I'd been wanting to see, so I figured I'd try to get as many details as I could. I'll try to get some hi-res photos later when/if my son goes takes a nap.
I jumped on a Pre-Order I saw on ebay for $349 shipped. DEFINITELY not what I wanted to pay for this shoe, but seems like a lot of hype, and I'm going to be pissed if I miss out. I'd rather pay more and not stress out on release day.
What did they charge you for shipping? It doesn't look like they include shipping cost when I go to check out with paypal, but I don't want to be hit by a large shipping bill later down the line.
