^ I honestly suspect these were left over 2006 B grades they didn't want to send to the outlets, so Nike QS'd them and sold them for $160. The shutting down production hypothesis of a full run sounds reasonable though.

Im sorry but I have never heard the nickname "candy canes" until this recent retro of these. Every sneaker doesn't need a nickname

Neither have I. Every shoe having a nickname is ridiculous. On another note, I'm glad resellers are losing, eBay prices are currently $140-$160. Lmao.

I decided to take some pics before I return these POS shoes to a Nike outlet tomorrow. Examine the glue present all over the place in every shot. Examine the Jumpman that has a halo of glue around him. Also have a look at what looks like paint chipping off a 75 year old house, not to mention the random crease right near the front jumpman. Oh, and let's not forget the sloppy painting on the midsole nor the foam that wasn't cut out on the vent.
I hate to be so negative because I'm usually pretty fair about quality these days, but other than the paneled leather, NOTHING on this release was remotely near acceptable quality. This is easily the worst pair of shoes I have ever bought. Someone mentioned these may be B-Grades from 2006. I highly doubt it. The production date shows 10/12/11, and I tend to believe these were just a really poor run based on the Last Shot mold that didn't pan out well at all. Just atrocious really.

One of the best retro colorways. One of the worst releases EVER. I mean how can you even defend this rampantly awful quality?

But I have heard it, alot actually...
Either way, I'm all for resellers taking L's so I'm happy to say I'm DONE calling them that.

a few years ago. I never really got into the nicknames, just another way to hype up a release.

never thought that they could mess the XIV white/reds up that way.
The Georgetowns and Last shots were indeed better.
