That sucks.. Try stuffing it to pop back the material and use blow dry to shrink back the material.. Im not too sure if its pure leather.. They def just mold the toebox.

Yeah. Got em stuffed now, but the sink is still there slightly. I don't want to try anything to funny because this is some funky type of material/leather. This is why on 3's and 4's I go down a full size to prevent the nasty creases. Never thought I had to do it with 5's with their new stiff pleather.

Come on bro, you didn't know you had to half or full size down in 5's? That's just creasing from having too much room. Don't sweat it though. They will crease eventually regardless.

Just try blow dry. That might help to pop it back and shrink the material.. Don't use iron . Blow dry works good with patent leather but can't hurt to try. And good luck.

Nets and dinner.
View media item 739321Bright insoles..
View media item 739322Loosening them waxed laces took a bit of elbow grease. Not sure how they even got them so tight, these 6 year old chinese employees are tough!
Damn, that was wrong. Good night.

Mine finally came in. Double boxed from FNL. The Jordan box were completely whacked due to the cold. Card was in tact. Shoe is spotless. Very happy!

Got my pair today. They cool but I'm starting to think everyone who was so impressed by the quality is new to the game or something. Yes the quality is nice, but compared to Black Flips...the flips dump on these...better leather and even the insole on the flips is buttery smooth. The build on the toebox is much nicer on the flips also...been wearing my flip 3s nearly daily since they dropped and they dont have any creases or dents and practically look brand new. The 3lab5 looks nice and feels ok but you can tell around the toe box it's kinda weak.. The pic dude posted up there got me feeling like I need to wear them with caution...whereas the flips I do everything in them. I also did not find these to run big compared to other 5s like some were saying...if anything for me it's the opposite. If I would have sized down half on these I would likely be struggling to even get my foot in.

2010 infrared 6's and 2010 am90 infrared. You can't really tell the actual differences on a picture taken with flash though....or any pictures for that matter.

Co-sign on the sizing. My Grapes, FR and Laneys (10.5) all fit big, but these (also 10.5) are perfect.

I'm glad JB went back to basics with these, the 1st 3Lab's were too much

Positeve! Size 14. As sprite remix said, the black flip 3's are more durable. No major creases in them yet. Def not the same material. Maybe I just got a defect

Honestly that's what I'd expect them to do unless you're wearing a pair that fits really tight.
I don't doubt it's the right size but I doubt your foot is filling out the shoe width wise. That material is stiff and the toe is a single piece. So it's like folding cardboard lol. Maybe try wearing double socks that should help

Actually thought the same thing. How the shoe is constructed, I figured some weird creasing, but not a DENT! Figured maybe even no creasing since I only wear my shoes at a max 5x cuz of my job, timing and huge collection

hearing all these nightmare stories from shipped pairs had me worried but my 11.5 came in basically flawless. paint job pitch perfect, stitching top notch, box in tact, card and paper in great form. and fnl even shipped in an oversized box enough to fit 2 pairs in which is nice because i needed one of those.

I finally received my pair on Wednesday and fell in love with the kicks. Quality is great and they look amazing. I was a little skeptical that I wasn't going to get them because they were bouncing around from different mail facilities. 
Also when I got the package, the seal that was on the box was completely ripped off. That led me to believe that someone opened my box.
