I got my pair from Shoe Palace and everything went smoothly just like you but how did you manage to double up[emoji]128551[/emoji]So I went to pick my raffle pair up today, and everything went smoothly. While I was there I stopped into Finishline and I was lucky enough to be able to double up on a size 10.
So here's for the good.
1. The shoe was easy to get
2. The materials are nice
3. The midsole paint on both of my pairs are perfect.
And now onto the bad...
1. The paint/coating on both pairs of mine have portions of the leather that has a ton of these tiny pinhole like imperfections in the paint, almost like there was not enough paint applied during production and it honestly looks terrible. I typically inspect my pairs prior to purchase but this time for whatever reason I did not. If it wasn't for the fact that I know how to fix this with Angelus paint, I would have been livid!!!! I shouldn't have to paint my shoes, or restore them, when they're brand new, and its unacceptable. I tried to capture the flaws with photos but I cant get it to show up, because they're so small. But there's tons of tiny imperfections all over full sections of the shoe. Inspect your pairs and I'm certain some of you will see what I'm talking about because both of my pairs have sections of leather with this flaw.
2. The sockliner has a blueish tint to it, and I'm not sure why, but it almost looks jean stained. I also could tell that neither of my 2 pairs had been tried on, and both of them have this blueish tint to the sockliner, so it definitely came that way from the factory, and it honestly doesnt look that great.
3. One of my shoes on the toe box, there's a portion of the shoe where the paint was messed up to the point where it looked like a bag or perhaps a workers glove in the factory landed on the shoe while the paint was still wet, and it left a texture behind that is noticeable, and not right, or remastered, it's booty, amateur, and looks like a child worked on the shoe.
4. On my other pair, on the toe box of one of the shoes, there is like a big piece of dirt or dried blue or black paint or something that is right underneath the surface of the white paint on the toe box. Almost as if a piece of dirt flew onto the shoe in the factory and the paint dried with the dirt still on there. This is beyond unacceptable.
Other than that it's a great shoe, but this is unacceptable for the price, and whoever does the painting, programs the automation, and does quality inspection at Jordan Brand should be fired or written up. If it wasn't for the fact that I have the paint and know how to fix this stuff, I would be very upset. But that's my experience with this release, hope everyone else has less issues with theirs than I did with mine.
Anyways, here is a pic of my pick up, I'll try later to document the flaws, and if I can properly capture them, I'll upload them when I can.

same here ...165 shipped! this may be one of the highest quality 5's to ever exist...heard they are better than the laneys cant wait!
Discounted EB pair shipped yesterday and will be here tomorrow.
Check your bank accounts again. They actually charged me the discounted amount in a separate transaction. So I'll be sending mine back once I compare my FNL and EB pair to see which one is lower quality. Oh well.

You mean the amount that, when totaled with what you paid, equaled $189.99? If so they did that to me. I called and they said that they would refund me the additional transaction of $32 and change.
The amount came to 189.99 + tax. I called CS and they said they were not going to honor it.
just checked and only 165 was taken out dont see any other transactions. the lady on EB customer service said she'd make sure i got them for what i paid. she seemed to like me a little lol real friendly
