Walked into DTLR at PG Plaza around 11:30, got todays release and also came across a pair of all stars that I slept on last weekend. (really, I didn't getup til noon last week) I'm pleased with both.
 
guys, it's inperative that you guys check and re-check your pairs before purchasing!!! Alot of the pairs have glue residue and white scuffs on the toeboxes! I had to go through 6 pairs of sz. 10s before I found a clean pair.... just a heads up!

i got a normal pair of inserts w/ my stealths today but got the big oversized one for my allstars. i saw above that someone got the big insert w/ the stealths,why is that?
 
Man I was glad I didn't have problems getting these today.... I'm really happy with mine, Tinkler did it again, and I'm glad Mike's last sigshoe went out with a bang

It's part of the manufacturing process. This shoe is very hands on. The workers hold the both pieces of fabric from the toxbox together tightly whilethey are guided through the sewn machine. Any suede/nubuck colorway that the XX3 is released will have rubout marks on the toebox from the worker's fingerprints. The leather releases will look cleaner due to the material even though they all go through the same assembly process.

what i dont understand is, if theres an orderly line, how do 30 people try to cut? who is actually going to let them in line?
 
damn egallo, that code is on the inside of the inside of the box, lol!! i had to look all over it to see if mine had it, but i'm not sure what it means.
 
remember when some of the III's IV's and V's came out within the last year or two? every1 was complaining about the quality. just holding theseshoes in my hand you feel the quality and craftsmanship. U can tell they actually took their time and did it right finally. thanks for listening JB. i have noproblem paying 185 if the shoes are gonna kick *** and take names.
 
Had a feeling I wouldn't get them, because I had work from 7:30-4

yes, of course they use glue. the manufacturing process was designed to minimize the use of glue, not eliminate it.
 
I'm glad I copped my pairs off Eastbay...might have to cop another one just for the collection...since I already copped 2. Still like All Stars betterthough, but these are still fire!

i think it matters on the store. when i purchased my allstars the footaction pair had the big footshaped one and footlocker had the banana shaped one.
 
Eastbay is officially done...tried ordering at 3 pm and they said that the restock was an Error.. Went to the mall and Oakridge was all sold out.. I was ableto get a pair at a local shoe palace sz. 11..good luck to the Bay heads.. O yeah Champs workers at Oakridge need to go through more training..Bought a pairthorugh them and told me to pick them up at another location and come to find out they were sold out. Worker never called the other location. SMH at them fornot checking and SMH at me for buying through them. Never again I will trust champs.. Shoe Palace came through so im happy and it was only $175...
 
I wonder what my inserts are going to be. It's not all that important I guess but when I got my All Stars I received the "normal" looking insert.The banana shaped insert looks more innovative to me.
