Yea really. You'll sift through some of the garbage they produce and find something you like.Originally Posted by Poofyo101

i'll admit it..I overpayed...but the XIs are the holy grail of my collection and I'm not stateside right now to enjoy the action withya'll...just not taking chances. Figure since I skipped the last 3-4 packs (didnt like them or didnt need them) I can pay a little more since this will bemy last major purchase...Originally Posted by RetroMan23

I have never been one to complain about stuff I didnt like, I just wouldnt buy it, but this time I have to say something. I havent bought one package all year for one reason or another. I kept tellin myself this was the only pack I was gonna drop money on. I never got a chance to own black and red xi's and my og xii's are pretty trashed so naturally I was excited about these. The store I work for recieved their shipment today and I couldnt be any more disappointed. The quality on both of these things is horrible. I let it slide and kept my mouth shut on all the other trash that JB put out this year but this one really bothers me. They knew this would be the best selling/most wanted cdp and yet they still couldnt even spend the few extra dollars to give us quality. My girl was actually gonna buy me my pair and I was gonna buy hers but i told her to save her money.I can give you a few examples of why I'm so bummed.
1. Sole is damn near pink. The color was way off it was super light.
2. Jordan logo stitched on the side looks like fakes.
3. Carbon fiber looks horrendus (glue spots all over) and somethin just didnt look right.
4. Lastly shoe was just shaped oddly. Kinda like the way newer iv's are compared to og's and 99 retros.
And as far as the xii's go the shape was just way off. Even my girl said they looked cheap and she really doesnt know how the og's looked. I know ill probably catch some heat for making this post and a lot of you guys will say "more for me" but honestly I'm at the point where I don't care anymore. I didnt complain one time all year and I feel I deserve just this one. Best of luck to all of you who will go through the madness of getting a pair and I honestly hope you guys will be happy with them so atleast someone can enjoy them. And to all who ordered online I also hope you like what you see when you open those boxes. For all those who have never gotten a chance to own a pair of xi's I understand why you would still want them regardless of a "few minor flaws" but to those of us who have been around long enough,its a shame is all I can say. I hope 09 will be different for JB, or I think I'll have to find a new hobby. Lets stop all this hype and just buy what we like. By the way dont let my post count fool you, I been here for years I just do more reading than writing.
On a side note its kind of ironic...I found Niketalk in 2000 after searching for "Jordan 11 black red" on yahoo. Almost 9 years later I have to type all this nonsense just to vent a little over the same exact shoes.
