Not true. People need to realize doesn't matter which country the shoes are going to. they are produced together.

seriously? i remember people saying only early release have different carbon fiber on each shoe.Originally Posted by proballer
On my sz 11.5 pair I got from FNL the carbon fiber is different on each pair. I thought it was pretty wack too! Ill try and post laterOriginally Posted by asu42

the back right pair of the sole is also bit off compare to the left pair. in terms of that blueish/concord tint
carbon fiber plate on left and right pair is different. i can feel the ripples on squares on the carbon fiber for my left pair. while the right is just flat smooth. as if there isnt squares for the carbon fiber.. if that makes sense.
the jumpman looks bigger compare to CG '10, and SJ '09. although i didnt compare them to my CG and SJ. just from looking at it.
also, where the PL stiching ends at the back right below the "23", it doesnt line up to the tip of the midsole where it curves up.. you can see that from the pic up top. ^^
CONCLUSION: i think we all know by now, wether its release day pair or early pair, the quality control is never up to par. there will always be something major or minor to point out. but to me, what ever flaw i have for my pair, it is never noticable when i have them on my feet. like i said only minor flaws for my pair.. this is my first time owning a pair of concords and i think these are truly amazing. idk about the price, but it is what it is. i want it, so ill pay for it.. now, if i were to compare this to the 2000 version which i never held of ownned, i will simply pick the 2000 pair just for the simply fact that it has better PL cut and diff mold.. (atleast it looks like it does, i might be wrong) if my size just wasnt so hard to find and the price being hella high, i wouldnt have picked these up and copped me a 2000 pair..
Very interesting about the carbon fiber plate. Where did you purchase these from. This is a typical trait from the early release shoes (including mine) Could anyone else comment on their carbon fiber texture. (pics would be good also)
my goodness, Jordan/Nike sucks.

Still waiting on FNL to refund me back / drop the hold on the $1500 they have pending in my account.
I spoke to a rep Saturday and they told me Tuesday or Wednesday the latest, so I'm giving them until that time before I go into panic mode.
Anyone else order from Natterjacks? Tried to order a size 10 Saturday morning and never got a confirmation email but I checked my account activity with my bank and theres a pending amount from them. I've tried to email them numerious times and have not gotten a response back yet.
Anyone else going through the same thing with them?

This would piss me off. It is one the main signs of the fugazi early releases. Guess nike let some Bgrade through to legit retailers here in the US. Also starts to cast some doubt on the early releases not being legit. This release has been amazing in a bad way.Originally Posted by proballer

Yea. The stampedes and people being trampled to get these should be enough evidence of people wanting them.

I just got off the phone with FNL and my order didn't go through so I spoke with Paypal and they said if your money hasn't left your actual bank account then your good. The funds are still available and that paypal will contact FNL to make sure they don't take the money being sent to them because the order didn't go through and the item is no longer available. Gonna be on this board and twitter for the next few hours/days hoping to catch a restock! fingers crossed

I wasn't really talking about preference, just value in general. I thought these went on ebay for around 550-600.

I called Finishline with my confirmation number that I received. The CS rep said that the shoes weren't available at the store, so the order got routed to another store. We'll see what happens with the, "If you got a confirmation email you will get the shoes".
