The only card in an OG box was the Flight Club membership pamphlet. I think the IV's had it but maybe it was the V's. Been a while
I had OG's 4 thru 8 and I believe the flight club membership pamphlet was also included in the 6s to my recollection, and I think they changed it slightly to include pics of jordan/flight gear. I dont recall the pamphlet being in the 5s though

If by we you mean you. I had no doubt it would be this crazy. Just wait for the BC4

Yeah I had 4 through 7 myself, and I know it was in some of those but I just can't remember which ones. I can't even remember what size I wore back then

There's a mystical post somewhere in this thread about shaping the toe to an OG look. Finding it will be a chore though.Not trying to beat a dead horse, but if these had the OG shape/height... They'd be one of the BEST retros ever IMO. I would take that over a NA hang tag any damn day. The way the toe box with the current shape makes the entire shoe still look off.
I'm not going to wish for the OG leather, now that's just askin' TOO much from JB.
Other than that, the shoe is "SUPER CLEANSED" in my opinion.

For $300 I expect some sort of quality regardless. Also apple watch analogy is terrible and your reading comprehension is off because not buying them is exactly what I'm trying to do
You're mode of thinking is exactly why they get away with this.

If it is true that jb is using different sweatshops to meet the supply. Is there a way to know which wear house is producing the shoe. It might be possibly to filter which wear house is making all the defects of the shoe from one wear house to another. Maybe possibly the seahorse number would be on the production stamp that is on the shoe or box. This information would be helpful to know the quality of the shoe and where it's made the same way the production date on the tag helps determine if the shoes are UA pairs or authorized pairs. This information would just be another way of determining if the shoe has b grade defect quality as opposed to pristine condition.
There should be a different value for the quality of the shoe. For instance a perfect pair that is defect free and has perfect texture on the material should be priced higher than pairs that are uneven in height, with inconsistent texture in the material, scratches, pen marks, lopsided stitching, smeared speckles, too little or too many speckles. Like the same way Beckett inspects the perfection of basketball cards with 10 being rare and perfect from any defects from factory to 6 with many and multiple defects.
It's possible that the reason there are so many claims on defects is beacuase of the quantity jb was releasing only increasing the numbers of defects that were to be sold while the ratio of non defects to defective shoes remain the same. The high volume would have a higher number of defects being sold....

I posted these pics a few pages back(probably missed because of all the other nonsense in this thread). I'm cool with the creasing, like the worn in look actually.

...Nice!...im kinda pissed tho' that for $220...they didn't bring back the flight club membership thingy...would've been bonkerz!...they could've done a limited set of 4 OG/Retro Flight shirts...as a membership edition only gift, with each member only getting 1 of 4 shirts randomly each in a limited run...can u imagine the epic hype to get the set of all 4 shirts.

Haha good catch. I'll attribute that to lack of sleep from being in the hospital all night.
True for $220 they would be a lot easier to swallow.
My original post was to find out how to return these to Nike.ca. Can't really call right now and ask, guess I'll deal with it another day.

All in all, my pair came out pretty clean considering what's been posted in here. Those Bordeauxs took 3 pairs to get right. I thought I was in for serious disappointment after only securing one pair to hope all was good with. Pretty satisfied. Speckle density on point.

yes my bad, i forgot to mention that. they will make u take a giftcard if you paid with paypal. they dont refund to your paypal and they wont give u cash. this only applies to niketowns. if you do a mail in return through NDC you will get refunded to your original form of payment.FYI, if you paid with PayPal, the stores can't credit back to PayPal.if u ordered from NDC, u can just call in and get a return label if it didnt come with your order. or you can also bring it to a niketown if uve got any near you and return that way.Haha good catch.

Good looking out!
No return labels. Does Nike Canada charge return shipping?

I know what you're talking about, I seen it. They looked way cleaner after it was done. I'm not going to try it though. I just know I'd F it up somehow, and $240+ is too much to be risking it.
I still wanna another pair though, something serious. If I would've just waited on doublin' up on the Aqua 8's I would've been straight. [emoji]128553[/emoji] But, I thought those were gonna move like these, back in November.
I'm amazed that, all of the 8's are still sitting. With FSR's. Y'all CAN'T tell me that y'all knew that was gonna happen. Maybe with the "3-Peats", but not the "Aquas" & "Chromes".
