Yea man leather is all over the place. Some goat heavy pu coats, and other you can actually see somewhat of a grain. Calling it a grain is a stretch lolYou know what. They did a decent job with this retro but Jordan is def still lazy as ****. Leather quality is all over the place between left and right shoes, Nike airs on the back crooked and I forgot how good they can do the elephant print until I checked my pair of unites.
They can put it all together if they wanted to. They def choose not to.
Herbert’s has let us both down I seePair from Hibbett has an off center NA on one sneaker. Looks a little goofy

I had gotten a pair from ftl from my daughter on rd that was cool, but not perfect. The RIGHT shoe had sloppy, crooked toe box EP and I wasn't too happy. My snkrs pair came today and it's the opposite: LEFT shoe has super big toe box EP. 
After seeing some of yalls perfect pairs, I just couldn't take it. I mixed and matched and keeping the pair with decent (not perfect) toe box EP and the other is going back to snkrs (idgaf). I rather have only one decent pair than 2 pairs I'm unhappy with.

I don’t know about these, but the Desert Elephants I got are way longer than I expected. There’s at least a full inch of room between my big toe and the end of the shoe.
I’m concerned about heel slippage as they start to break in.
…lot more space at the end of the shoe than the Georgetowns and Racer Blues I had.

Lately Nike doesn't allow redirecting to an access point, and I have a paid UPS account. Same with FedEx. They're inconsistent, but I've had bad luck and the carriers say Nike placed the restrictions and to call them. Possibly a fraud detergent.

JB did great with the 3s..they need to keep it going with every OG they release. Especially 4s, 6s and 9s.
Look at that toe on these Infrareds

This is exactly what you should do. That second, imperfect pair is gonna bug you so send it back.I had gotten a pair from ftl from my daughter on rd that was cool, but not perfect. The RIGHT shoe had sloppy, crooked toe box EP and I wasn't too happy. My snkrs pair came today and it's the opposite: LEFT shoe has super big toe box EP.
I tried to mix and match with a second pair from Hibbett but they canceled my order.

I feel like if they put out a retro with that exact toe, people would lose their $#^% talking about how bulbous and not-slanted-enough it isJB did great with the 3s..they need to keep it going with every OG they release. Especially 4s, 6s and 9s.

It's funny you say that. I feel like I've caught hell for saying that's what the OG 6's toebox looked like. Not this weird flattened nonsense that people suddenly seem to want on the 6 and 7.

That's not uncommon. We're talking about natural materials that come from animals, its not going to be uniform across the board.This pair is going back. Horrible qc, 2 completely different leathers.

Looks like the perfect pairs era is over in here
The bar was set too high. Now people sending pairs back if they don't look like they were hand-crafted by Hephaestus: The god of design

Stealing from the rich to SELL to the poor for profit is ok?

SNKRS is stalling me out. No update just sitting in preparing shipment status. Bummer man.

Yeah, the main shoes I have taken issue with the toes on are mostly 1–5, and I don’t even wear 1s so I don’t care much on that one LOLIt's funny you say that. I feel like I've caught hell for saying that's what the OG 6's toebox looked like. Not this weird flattened nonsense that people suddenly seem to want on the 6 and 7.
They’ve also done the 13s dirty. Rest are mostly fine to me, especially after they mostly fixed the 11s. IEs could be better, though.

Kinda curious now. When you guys talk about a higher elephant print vs. lower elephant print, are you guys talking about the height of the layer on the toebox? Does anyone have a picture of a high one vs low/lower one?
