Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. At this point if I don’t hit for retail I’m just not meant to have the sneaker. I’m OK with that though.

Doesn't bother me all that much. I'm going to wear them. They are just another material thing that protects our feet from the ground. A little pink won't keep me up night... I'm just trying to get through this pandemic healthy... Material things will come and go...

From what the FTL manager told me it's looking like all will turn pink eventually...

I don't buy it. They were painted with the wrong hue and the line managers didn't notice or didn't care. No way these are changing colors in a matter of days. When the store went back to look again, they saw more with pink b/c the first go around were the more extreme ones, so the others didn't look pink in comparison.

My local Hibbets acted like I was crazy when I asked about having them order them for me in store like others have said they’ve been able to do??

The white leather does feel cheap on these. I was hoping they would be just like the orange and white Gatorade 6s. The white leather on those are great, good mold too.
Fake leather on the 2021s match the fake leather on the OGs.

But that's the problem. I'm not saying you're wrong. But when I was in the store they looked as white as can be. Maybe FNL finessed us with special lighting lol. But when I got home they looked different. Of course this was after watching about 15 youtube videos and dozens of instagram posts about pink soles. Either way, if the pink is debatable then it's not that bad. I've gotten much worse flaws in retail kicks. I can live with this......as long as it doesn't get more pink over time or when I got to clean them. Yikes!

For my folks in NYC, Foot Locker has the Carmines. I stopped by Union Square and Times Square. Looks like they are trying to get rid of them quickly.

Maybe I'm colorblind. These just look like a different shade of white. It's like at my crib we have a two tone paint scheme with gray and white. I used two different shades of white/two different brands of paint. Alone each looked white but to some people, in some lighting they think it looks lavender. It's not the same white but the midsole doesn't look pink to me. Maybe I'm just fooling myself thoughMy pair

I appreciate your honesty. Same energy over here. I still can't tell if mine are pink or not and at this point I don't care. I got Carmines for retail. It sucks that that's am accomplishment these days but it is what it is. And I would feel like a clown if I get to hung up on quality when discussing Jordan Brand. If these were New Balance then yeah, but Jordan is more known for shotty quality than good. How do I know? Because we act surprised when a good release has good materials and quality.

I say white, I can see why some might say pink. But it's white for me.My mind’s playing tricks on me. These look pretty white but I need a second opinion because of pinkgate. Ready to just grab a pair today and be done with this release.

I'm stalling out all the way up until All Star Weekend. If I don't stumble upon a pair then or at least the weeks leading up to then I might have to just call this release a wash.
