^^^^The quality on these is actually good, I wouldnt listen to these guys, the creasing is normal, i have already worn mine for a few days and there is minimalto zero creasing, in addition the leather used is actually tougher than the light weight synthetic leather used on the OG's, but I must say this shoe iscomfy, which was a big surprise to me since most nike retro's usually have a stiff midsole.

If you're so concerned about creasing, use some damn shoe trees.

the paint is actually different than the fire red iii's retro and others alike, its not shiny. id say its more like how the 99 iv's or 01 iii'swere painted. nothing happened to mine and ive played in them (worn twice). paint is definitly better because my aqua viii's paint had began to peelalready with the same amount of wear (if the paint is shiny it will most likly peel and what not, this paint is not shiny nor thin). if you dont want creasingeither get a half size smaller or get decreasers. the insole is like an air max insole with the ability to add the arch supports, so if you got extra archsupports and like the feel then throw them on. i personally think it makes the shoe feel that much better.

Yeah, that's what I'm more worried about. I just hope they don't crease like the Military IVs.

I'll wait and see when they arrive from Finishline.
Thanks for the help guys.

they are originial air trainer tw IIs in your basic white/grey/black colorblocking.. the same supreme styled ones that we saw retro last year. the same SBdark grey. the same gold and maroon crap.. it almost appears as a whole different shoe when you get a colorway that actually works.
for those wondering,these were the TW Is or just TWs:
-its like a true blending of the first air trainer 1 highs and the air trainer SC (or what we call the sc IIIs).
The IIs expanded on that and if you notice the time frame, they came out the same time as the mesh faced jordan IVs. the side mesh on the TW IIs were probablya direct result of them both being designed by tinker
