Peace
cool story bruh. and not to start a back & forth debate but everyone already knows the '10s are inferior to the '09s. if i didn't have damn near DS '09s, yes i woulda copped '10s. decided to pass mainly b/c of the less defined grooves (reminds me of the fakes).

Got my ndc order... sending 4 of the 5 pairs ordered back.
I got me 1 9.5, 2 10s for a dude i know, and 1 9.5 and 1 10 were going back because of a dude backing out on me.
but damn i gotta say... these pairs from ndc came in looking like poooooooo. 3 size 10s had slight creases on the inside of the shoe. upon further inspection, i realized that the material wasnt fully attached to the shoe, therefore air bubbles would show up if worn. called my dude and told him imma just roll to the mall and get his pairs.
slight creases on all 3
before pressing down
after pressing down -> do you see the air bubble form?

honestly, i was lookin at the creases and touched the foam... it was soft and didnt feel right. so i touched other areas of the shoe and it felt like i could feel the plastic or whatever pretty solid.... so it meant to me the material wasnt on there good since it was soft where i pressed.
so i pushed the heel up while holding the top of the shoe and i could see the bubble form.

yea man ALL 3 size 10s? I mean, come on... gimme 1 good pair lol
coppers were solid as far as feel went.
packaging is kinda causing rubbing on the shoes... ive seen coppers and eggplants with slight marks on them but they kinda go away with a quick spit shine.

My pair from NDC was flawless. Everything I expect from a pair of foams. Sorry to hear about the bad pairs out there. Diggin the color of them. Too bad my varsity purple nike shirt I ordered looks pink.
