so do these crease a lot? ive seen the giant sinkhole crease the other person posted about but i need to know other people's experiences, thanks

Me personally, id get the 3Lab5s(plus cash on top) for the foams. The quality is second to none and mark my words in a few years these are going to be very very sought after kicks. Im getting a 2nd pair to DS not only because i love the overall design but the quality is up there with the BIN releases.

I'd be asking for about $100 cash on top of the Foams for that trade.

 forgot to mention that i am planning to trade my 3lab5 infrareds for gym greens. both are ds so do you guys think i should trade my 3lab5 for the gym green foams? or should i keep them?

Well the logo is embossed.. By on my 1st pair, the heel logo emobssing is very nicely done.. Its very bold, and its sticks out quite a bit.   On the second pair, the heel logo is embossed but it doesnt stick out as much.  The only thing that would lead me to believe they are legit, is the shade infrared is dead on like my 1st pair.    The embossing on the elephant print is identical, as well.. Its just the logo on the heel that is throwing me off.   The jumpman logo on the tongue is correct and the insole is felt ( my 2nd pair).   I know the replica sites are selling fakes, but its a dead giveaway since the midsole is more of a "varsity red".  I guess Ill have to post some pics.

I havent yet seen any GM pairs of the infrared 3lab5s but i also havent really looked for any, id be surprised if GMs were even able to come close to the quality/materials of this shoe honestly. Too many things would be a giveaway imo.

Speaking from personal experience, I would definitely recommend starting a Legit Check thread. There's so many knowledgeable members on NT who would be able to provide you with a better opinion, especially if you include as many high quality and detailed pictures as possible. As of right now, it's a toss up, but starting a LC thread could help you come to a better more conclusive conclusion.

Their was a picture earlier of guy said to worn his for 3 hrs and the reault was his toebox looked like a crater formed it was bad

Im my experiance i UnDS them yesterday i went to the UFC out here got wasted seen some great fights. i wore them from when i got dressed at 3 till the event was over 1 AM needless to say we did much walkin constantly on the move dodging drunks ninjas try not to spill my own ish on mine you get it...

And this is what they look like afterwards worn for 11 hours No Creases Still Lookin Crisp they look DS if you didnt see the bottom

as you can tell the bottom is the only part dirty after 1 long wear but thats expected. I did clean the middle part tho lol where its infrared you can see, it was as bad as the top and bottom and i was like nah not having it but hey whatever lol

So speaking on the creasing situation wore mine all day today and had minimal creasing even took a few photos about mid way through the day:

Creasing doesnt show much from the front, it happens more on the inside of the toebox area(inner foot).

Regardless, looking for a sz12 at the right price (~300 shipped) or less to cop another pair to DS, i love em, great shoe imo.

I'm destined not to get this sneaker..... One of the few that I actually wanted Iccan't find in a 12 for a reasonable price

 

[deezrsackolishus]

750am? Killin me.

Im with ya man. Still need a sz13

 

[armokidd]

Unreal.... I hate the hype around sneakers man, I just want a size 12 lol

That's how I felt about the Taxi's this morning, even the Gamma Blue 12's would have been a decent consolation pick up.

Even though I got my size 13 on release day, it seems like anyone who wears sizes closer to the lowest and highest sizes made like 13 are destined to strike out. I called up one of the two Finish Line's I make sure to frequent asking about the upcoming retro 6's and the guy I'm cool with straight up told me that they typically only get 2 pairs of size 13 and it's probably the least readily available size they get in sought after shoe's whether it's a GR or LR, from signature Nike player shoe's or the higher priced Jordan's like the retro's or in this case the LAB shoe's.

I can't believe I got a pair of these today along with the taxi 12's.... I thought by the time I saw the tweet on my phone and ran over to the computer they'd be snatched up. Managed to run shop discover in there as well.
