lol when i got home and saw it at the door im thinkin wtf ... i only ordered 1 pair, then its marked 11lbs. I laughed until i took the shoe out and saw it. But what could have happened inside the box to tear the leather like that. I agree though im sure it was a factor, or it happened at FNL or at the factory and they sent it out.

This pair def should have been marked with the B and sent to outlets for $150 hahahahahaha

And the final kicker .. the icy sole (compared to my ndc pair) *which isnt a quality issue necessarily but they shouldnt be yellowed already*

Must be the way they were kept at the warehouse because I have some partial yellowing around the shark teeth on my FNL pair as well. :smh:

My NDC pair is perfect tho :smokin
 
These are on my feet, and at first i think.... dang these sneaker shields are killin my feet I need modify them again. Then i took them off, and it felt worse without them since the TOEBOXES ARE THESE ARE HARD AF.
 
And quality wise its like gambling ... Seriously... Chances to get them + chances they arent what we consider to be a "B" grade... The only thing that reassures us is that you could prob sell them DS for more than you paid even with the flaws...

sorry og fiends, but alot of us been there done that with the same ol tired colors of jordans! does every shoe in my collection have to be the same lame *** black and red, probly if im a bulls fan. i admit i messed wit j's when he played ball....he moved on and so did i along wit alot of folks who like jordan as a player but refuse to purchase the same shoe every couple years. so a new cw is welcomed, especially by those who can care less bout  what he wore in-game and just rock em for fashion.

I don't think it's about it being a non OG colorway, it's just not one everyone is going to relate to. There have been other new CWs dropped and taken well (such as fear pack & numerous PEs) of which had a more balanced use of colors. TBH, when I first heard "Bel Air" I was interested, but not feeling the mismatched colors personally. It's just matter of preference, no one said anything about "not being able to have a favorite non OG cw." But for the record, this is a FRV forum (OG coloway) so those "OG fiends" are more likely to respond negatively to a comment about a new cw. Here's the thread to go to:

That particular process is a chrome extension but you dont need to do that.

What i do is log in to my ebates click the site (ndc for ex) when that ebates page for nike opens sign in to your account and leave it be. In a nother tab use that for the tlo when the tweet comes just click that link do the necessary size click and add to cart. When its in your cart, go back to the ebates nike tab and click refresh and there u have it

Sounds like a lot buts actually a quick process
