believe that ...
 
See how the laces are damaged and there's also a stain and cris on the tongue of the shoes. Am taking photos of the Jordan 13 now, will post it up in a jiffy.
 
ktay09 - ur pics look like the only issue is the shoe strings. u can cut the excess cloth off and be sitting just fine.
its a risk you take when ordering pairs early and noone will notice the shoe string have a couple of snags.

cant talk about the flints since u never posted pics of those.
 
those arent fakes or b-grades. But yes, u did receive bad shoe laces. Most early releases do not come factory laced. If you are looking for a perfect pair of shoe, then early releases are not for you. Footalog is a early release site, so stay away from it, if you cant deal with possible small defects. Those arent fakes though.
 
Man people are really getting worked up over these shoes.First off we as sneakerheads get the shoes we want one way or another.Some of us dont have the luxury to know a store owner or have a connect and have to pay a little more for them.So lets stop knocking all the early coppers.Now as for the guy who posted the picks of the store in Korea,I was stationed at Osan AB from November 08 Till December 09 and I shopped at that store multiple times.Its nothing close to a flightclub because flightclub dont sell fakes.Yeah I said FAKES!!!.That spot sells fakes and authentics.The majority of those shoes you seen in the pictures are fakes.The lady that works there Mrs.Kim and her husband will tell you which ones are fake.The prices are about what your paying for these pre releases so its not like their a steal.If I was in Korea I would probably shop with her only if I was willing to pay well above retail to get pre releases early.Now please tell me nobody on this Forum purchased these shoes from 23isback.com?If you did then you are crazy.$390+shipping thats ******ed.I dont know how they stay in business because everything they sell is over priced.Its okay to pay $100 to get them a couple weeks early but $200 is off the charts.Even PYS wasn't charging that much for them.But to each his own.Just remember that we are the driving force in these inflated prices you see on these shoes.I bet if nobody bought the next early release and waited those $350 price tags you see would drop on the next pair.My 2 cents
 
bigj505: For the Jordan 11 'Cool Grey' its the laces that are of very low quailty, i cant comment on the other bit of the shoes as i dont have the actual pair, will try to get 1 from either eastbay or footlocker and comparred it with the one i got from footalog to prove the B grade shoes they are selling.

As for the Jordan 13 Flint Greys, have a look at the following photos and tell me i'm wrong in saying these shoes are B grade/fake shoes.
The shoes did not come with a retro card, and upon comparring with an actual product from footlocker, the quality is shockingly different.

Detailed findings:
The hologram stitching is so off, there's a huge space gap between the sewing and the hologram.
The hologram comes without the plastic protection, and its slanted.
There are actual markings on the shoes showing the rough line to be cut for sewing, sratches on the sides and front of the shoes.
Yellow stain on the tongue n dirt stains all over the white leather as well.
The inside sewing of the shoes are of poor worksmanship.
The holes for the laces are unevenly punched and at the wrong location - in short very poor worksmanship comparred to the actual product from footlocker.

PS: i'm seriously not trying to bad mouthed footalog, but just trying to warn people who are trying to buy from them and also to try to see if there are any other users out there that has suffered the same fate as me.
 
how early did you get those flints 13s from footalog???
flints look like a C grade too me
i think given those joints a B is little too high

yea, u did get a pretty crappy pair of flint.  Those would definitely qualify as b-grade, if sold here in the states.  The problem with early release pairs, is that they go through a middle man, instead of coming straight from the factory, so quality control, if any, is a crap shoot.  Sometimes u get pairs with no defects at all, looking just like pairs of RD.  And sometimes u get the crap that normally wouldnt make it through a quality control inspection. 

Feel sorry for you about the flints.  The XIs though, other than the crap lace, they dont look that bad at all.  Though in a perfect world, obviously u wouldve loved a pair with quality shoe laces.
  
 
If im not mistaken 2010 flints dont come with a retro card. Even the retail releases. Buy yea thats absurd that you recieved your shoes lookin like that. Thats one of the reasons I never cop early for fear of getting b grades.
 
Yeah,i reckon footalog does mixed bgrade shoes in their assignment.

And no, i did not get the flints before the pre-released, i ordered it together with the Jordan 11, which was during sometime on 28th Nov.

I'm trying to get a refund for these shoes as they are totally unacceptable, from ebay protection.
The following pictures doesn't look as bad as how the shoes look in reality, shucks.

Hopefully ebay protection is going to provide some sort of cushion for my purchases, luckily i did the auction through ebay and not directly from their website.

Btw, does anyone has any idea about the consignment that eastbay is getting for the Jordan 11? Is this going to be a GR like the space jam, with the same number of stocks.

Yes, these are a GR like the SJ last year, but number wise, these should be even higher than the SJ last year.  However, if you want to cop from EASTBAY, make sure you are there at midnight EST time and know how to click/type fast, otherwise, they will prolly be gone within minutes.

I dont know if ebay would protect you at all in this case.  You would be required to send the shoes back, and the international shipping is gonna come out of your own pocket.
  
 
whats crazy is when i was looking at different pairs of flints, ALOT of them had glue residue, reddish color on them in different places and unfinished sewingh jobs. but i thinks its the XIII's in general because of the overall materials used in the design.
 
if anyone finds any other UK sites selling these for retail please please let me know
