-jester

Did you get your pair from Niketown? I think im going to return my 9.5, due to it having a minor defect that can get ugly very quickly.

Well i decided to show you all what im talking about. I got a bad pair from Niketown and a good pair from my connect.


From my connect.

From Niketown.

Connect

Niketown

Together ( Connect top, Niketown bottom )

Together Niketown left, Connect right)

I guess Nike do give there cousins Ferrari's and give there sons Kia's

Sorry, I'm a little nit picky about it

im more concerned how the upper and glossy toe box crumple. the nubuck hides it well, unlike the fake patent, but the glossy black toe box is alreadycracking. ive only worn mine to work once and the sonics game tonight.

i might try to take a photo, but they never turn out as far as trying to capture detail. like dudes photos up there showing the difference between the pair hegot from his connect and the pair from niketown. /\ /\

maybe im just blind, but i cant see the difference.

He's talking about a gold stitch sticking out on the pair from his connect.

 

[mr delorean]

oh, i see what hes pointing out now. looks like the side panel with the red stitching is separated a bit from the plastic "finger" with some leftoveradhesive oozing out. its pretty obvious now that i see it.

Lol, I didn't even notice the seperation. Only the gold stitch

@ me for that one.

 

[shoethentic]

He is talking about the fact that the "finger" looks to be separating from the shoe upper. I can see the residue and separation from his fourthpicture. I bought two pairs myself and had to inspect a few before buying them. Some had little dings and dull marks in the suede but none were falling apartlike your pair. Take them back and have them order you another pair.

 

[heat23]

Can't wait to get my tracking # email ! I'm not the only one right AJwings23.

 

[stuntastic020]

So whats the next Js to come out? the coundtown box in march?

I have little imperfections on my suede but I can live with it especially since I have 2 pairs. I'd definitely take mine back if it was noticeablyfalling apart like that. Paying that much, I would hope to get a decent pair at the least.

My bad I didnt think it would be hard to tell. But your excatly right. It look horrible in person seeing the difference. I really feel that that part willget worst later in the future.

Yea I'm definatley thinking about taking them back. Due to them looking like trouble later on

. But I dont want to lose a pair. My connect sold out so long ago. I have noidea what im going to do with these.

 

[stresseddesserts]

Kinda funny how the "youngins" grab a pair of crappy "Fruit Loop" looking Forces over the Stealths...asking each other "Would you rock these?" Felt like picking up the J's and knocking them over the head....

HAHAHA thats how these houston kids act man.......i hope the stealths are still around in a month here.

The stiching looks messed up trying to return them should be no problem returning bro

True but I'm pretty sure they cant replace them. It's gonna take me some time to decide.

 

[t2dae1]

Mine are just fine!!

 

[mr kuter]

Im really thinking about getting a second pair, but Im on the fence. $200.26 is tough. But I want a pair to save for some years down the road.

[mikeadog]

[jdw112]
