one more comment on the dunkman spizikes: the divide between the rendering on the nikeid site and the actual finished project is huge. i'd give the former a 2 and the latter a 10. nike needs to do a better job of matching their pictures to what the shoes actually come out as. for example, i tried some yeezy themed spizikes, and the green did not match the green on the nikeid site at all...had to return them

You know this is impossible to get exact due to the various display options and settings on people's monitors, right?
I mean, unless they give to pantones or RGB numbers, there's always going to go some difference in appearance on screen and in-person.
The thing is, a lot of the times the colors they use on the ID site are colors that are commonly used in general Nike releases at the time (or recently). So, the best way to get an accurate look at the color is to find other shoes that use the same color and view them in person.
The shade of the green really bugged me, so I returned them. It's not neon or bright or anything that would pass for glow-in-the-dark as it seemed on the Nike ID website. The green is barely even translucent like it is advertised to be. Also, the "infrared" is straight up hot pink, but that didn't bother me at all. The green just wasn't happening for me given my theme. It looks DOPE on the dunkmans on the previous page. But if I'm spending $220+ or whatever they ran me after tax, I wanted them to be perfect.
wow those are fresh. how'd you get the 3m laces tho?They finally came in today. They got dropped off while I was at work though. Had to go pick them up on my lunch and return back. This was the only shot I took. I'll post more tomorrow when I get a chance.

If they use a computer to render the shoes, yes. But, if they actually produce a lot of these shoes with all of the colors on the given materials, and use various photoshop-esque techniques, they can do a much better job than they currently do. If you follow Nike ID on facebook, you'll see that they half-attempt to do this already. They produce a handful of ID shoes and take pictures of them to demonstrate what they look like when they're made. The disconnect is obviously there between the computer renderings and the finished products. My point--which I wish I didn't have to spell out--is that Nike should do a lot more of this: produce more shoes, take more pictures, upgrade their photography technology. Yes, it costs money, but it also costs money for them to maintain their no-questions-asked return policy and to accept returns like they do from unhappy customers like myself. If I knew the green on my Spizikes would look like it did, I would have never ordered them, and Nike wouldn't have had to waste their resources producing the shoes, paying UPS to get them shipped back, refunding me, and doing whatever they do with them when they get them back.
u buggin b, those were fuego....The shade of the green really bugged me, so I returned them.
