^^ The quality control on these was atrocious, at best. My off whites have hella glue stains and silver(?) paint marks on the midsole.
I ended up with a second pair of blacks from NDC to see if I could get a better made shoe, and I ended up having to mix and match both pairs to make an acceptable pair.
And yeah, the cuts of the uppers are totally off on my pairs, too. When looking down from above it's mad obvious the sweatshop worker was throwed when piecing these together.
And like I mentioned before, the number of levels of weave showing above the toe rand varies on all 3 pairs--literally not one matches the other.
I'm close to sending them all back. For $180 you gotta do better than this.
