No. IX's ran just as true to size on my feet as the XIV's did.

People do whine and complain a lot and it is definitely OD and unnecessary. We ALL know the quality has been on a continous baccslide for the last 3 or 4years, so either jump off the team or take it on the chin until your collection is complete...I like both of the pairs and was pleasantly surprised by theXIV...the IX were spectacular in person, I can't wait until summer to break them out...

crack? thats y quality never improves...cuz people acceptsub par products

 

[sneakerfee]

you say the quality isnt up to par but you copped still correct me if im wrong

[tornamac04]

yea i bought them anyway...but that was after i took 4 boxes of 10.5s and inspected the left and right shoe of the 9s and the 14s and got the ones that werethe best quality...Man, some of the 14s came scuffed up brand new...9s had the material peeling off and glue everywhere...crazy! But after nit picking through4 different packs I am 90 percent satisfied with the quality...but not everyone can do that...some people buy there packs and are like "#@@!?!" butthey have to deal with it cause they really want the shoe...all im saying is that whing and complainin is ok if you were really excited about something thenthe company completely lets you down on the pricepoint to quality ration...MY BAD SneakerFee if it sounded like I was comin at you. And agent0024 too

i finally received mine today, and i must say that i was expecting more....

the IX's are the reason i got the pack, and i was planning on selling the XIV's later, but i might just sell the whole pack.

 

[tornamac04]

^^^^^what do you mean by "expecting more"

Yo I feel exactly what you're sayin man....I'm wearing the 14's as I type this right now about to head to class and I keep noticing glueEVERYWHERE!!! If you wanna complain you can complain all you want cuz at the end of the day it's your money and forums are meant for people to be typinabout whatever they want in them; even complaining

Lucky you gotthe chance to mix and match a couple packs, I had to take what I could get.......

On a lighter note.........these 14's are maaaaaad comfortable.....and doesn't really look like they'll ever crease anywhere with just regularwalkin.... .....(i wonder how many people are gonna be affected by my comments this time? lol I'm only kidding!!!)

 

[leocabrera]

ARE THERE ANY FINISHLINE CODES THAT STILL WORK?

 

[bullsjayz]

I had a chance to get these last week at two different stores, but I just can't throw down $325 for one pair of shoes.

But the IXs were VERY comfortable and nice.

 

[xreed]

Looks good, might have to get this.

All this fussing and stuff, really unecessary, the 14's are beautiful and the 9's are just as beautiful, quality maybe bad or mediocre, but these packsare a 1 shot deal, may never drop again.
both of my sneakers came without glue problems or scuffed, ive been lucky on both packages, the fact im buying jordans i probably wouldn't have bought ifthey was alone is awesome to me, im slowly becoming a fan of all the jordan sneakers, instead of only liking from 2 - 13, if y'all have so much quarmsabout the packages and the quality, don't buy them, stick with what ever your preferences are.
Another thing, why complain about the price then go out and buy, if you know damn well you can't afford these sneakers spend your money on somethingcheaper and zip it.

hey ms fee, how you doing sexy?

 

[retroman23]

has anyone ordered from finishline recently and have they shipped for u ??? and why is there still a FSR??? Is there system down??

 

[ooiron manoo]

eally geez why is everyone so nit picky it makes me sick we need to have a complaint post............. for all the belly achers on niketalk. especially in the JB forum...........every release some ones always got a complaint. your know the quality of the releases before hand these day but yet yall still buy.theres a simple solution to all the whining.

STOP BUYING JORDANSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Wait, Wait, Wait...

People can't complain about their displeasure when it comes to these packages, yet it is ok to whine and complain about the snail pace of FREE SHIPPING.

.

I think it is perfectly understandable for people to be unhappy in this situation, especially when you are "forced" to buy two pairs of shoes orchoosing to pass because they only like one of the shoes in the pack. Some really wanted the IX, so in order to get it they got stuck with a subpar product. Others who wanted the shoe (IX), passed because they weren't willing to succumb to JB's tactics.

I was unhappy with these uninspired XIV's, I have too many pairs of "Last Shots" already as most collectors do. So this shoe is completelyunnecessary, especially for those that have been buying Jordan's pre 2005. Kind of a slap on the face. I bought this pack, luckily for $200. I wasunhappy with the XIV and was lucky to find someone to take them of my hands for $100. A fresh pair of IX's to replace my beat Retro pair for $100. Can't complain. The XIV's are not bad, just uninspired and IMO, a slap in the face to many collectors.

 

[raices03]

Got mine for 259.00 shipped I guess I can't complain
Through Finishline ordered last monday and arrived today, it took like 3days to process then I got the shipping confirmation

 

[maxtempo96]
