Air Jordan 6 retro “Carmine” - Nike Air - February 13, 2021

[HellRazor1978]

This release needs to be recalled and redone.

 

[Koncrete Kickz]

After all these yrs, they didn’t learn anything from the Flint 13s bleeding and the Grey Toe 13s bleeding.
The same exact issue yrs later.... crazy

Maybe so people are aware their shoes match a sort of B-grade type of quality standard? And the same shoes would be put on heavy soles (which I doubted as heavily)?

That’s what outlets were made for

 

[noblekane]

gonna be alot of chargebacks on resellers

This bro. I remember that as well so this is shocking yet not shocking. Cmon JB dont make us have to go find Gentry

What’s the point of a sticker?

Maybe so people are aware their shoes match a sort of B-grade type of quality standard? And the same shoes would be put on heavy soles (which I doubted as heavily)?

If I remember correctly they’ve also done stickers for the Women’s Anniversary Metallic Silver 11s, Flightposites (flaking) and the Animal 3s (bovine) so that’s why I proposed the usage of stickers as their form of disclosure about the defect.

If these shocked dropped today, everyone would still stop what they’re doing to cop.

Not me. Not even sure I want a good pair at this point.

 

[BabyKiller138]

Yeah, I’m officially out. Even if they do go through with this release, I’m willing to wait another 4-5 years for another retro. They would have just sat in a box most of that time anyway.

For such a recognizable shoe, an OG colorway and the first time it's back with Nike Air branding, it's a PR nightmare if they turn a cheek and let this release continue on. They should just recall all the pairs and redo them correctly and release them at a later time (I'm willing to wait). Second suggestion would be to recall them and push them all to the outlet and heavily discount them. Third suggestion (cost effective) is to continue the release but send stickers to retailers that indicate a defect and attach that to the shoes

If it were my choice, recall them and redo the Carmines.

I'm sure they wouldn't lose any money on that suggestion.

They cut corners left & right and they're gonna recall all of these
and manufacture a new run? Or sell them all at a heavy discount?

 

[JRepp23]

This situation here is exactly why I would love to see a Jordan made from start to finish. There could be so many theories as to what went wrong.
Either way it needs to be corrected. Probably plays a part on why an early drop has not taken place.

[Faber Castell]

Sold my 2014 pair couple weeks ago, to double up on these!! An now this pink ish!! Happens smh

For Air Jordans 3-6, it's Nike Air or nothing. You did the right thing.

 

[3god]

Money saved for something better (NG 1)

 

[mr z]

These may not get scrapped but I would be shocked if big retailers like Footlocker and FinishLine continued with the release. They would have to deal with all the upset customers in their stores.

 

[salacious crumb]

Guilty here.

Pray I won’t get a Maroon 6 Nike Air pair.

 

[Faber Castell]

That’s what outlets were made for

The outlets near me are not even that cool

Money saved for something better (NG 1)

I've seen other posters on here saying the same thing. Which means all the Carmine 6 energy will now be thrust upon the Neutral Grey's, which means that Nike just might as well retail those starting at $1,000

 

[BabyKiller138]

Godspeed, my friend.
Not judging anyone who does still go after these. (Well... maybe a little) but I know I work too hard for my money to spend $200 on a ******* PINK midsole.

Some people say those Maroon 6 are great (many) others say the opposite. Given my experience with JB since November, I tend to fall towards the latter.

 

[DB Cooper]

JB about to make them factories redo the whole entire production...

 

[HellRazor1978]

The Maroons are not comfortable, but they look AWESOME. EASILY a better release than these Carmines.

 

[Faber Castell]

I want Nike to suffer a loss, just like their hedge fund buddies.

 

[WesleyPipes]

I second what he said^ but most definitely this release is terrible

 

[Faber Castell]

Are Covid-19 factory restrictions and regulations in China to blame? Is it Nike Inc.'s usage of cheaper materials to maximize their profits the problem? Is it a lack of Quality Control due to factory worker low pay, thus creating ambivalence towards the final product? Or a combination of everything I've pondered?

 

[jordman23]

JB about to make them factories redo the whole entire production...

JB doesn't care. They will gladly release these.

Look at the Quality Control from the Fire Red 4s.

In Hindsight, JB probably never did a shock drop so people couldn't get early pairs and spot this from early on.

I really would like to give JB the benefit of the doubt, but we've been let down too many times.

and to me personally, doesn't really bother me. I'm still in for 3x minimum.
