They're not hand made one by one. Mistakes happen.So I came home to my Easters from NDC all excited. Pull them out and first thing I see....
Didn't know Kobe's came with a side of glue goop. How does this make it past QC!? Honestly more than an inch and half an inch thick!

The shoe itself though is. I had to bust out the blow dryer and tweezer to peel this crap off. I also have another pair on the way so I wasn't too mad.

Question that I tried searching for but didn't find any answers, and the dude at Foot Locker couldn't answer cause he didn't know:
Anyone know what the difference is and/or what some of the heels of the 8's have the KB symbol and why some have the two vertical lines?
I've always wondered but have never found an answer.
Thanks

We all know that, but a once over with one good eye could see this, and toss it to the bin where the b-grades go.

Most factories in China pay their workers based on how many shoes are produced not so much emphasis on High meticulous quality control. We have the benefit of checking them closely, the workers have like 20-30 seconds and believe me, they think a side of glue goop is minor compared to a rip in the EM or the color is way off. If the QC is meticulous the way we want it, the shoes' cost would be exponentially higher than $140+ taxes.So I came home to my Easters from NDC all excited. Pull them out and first thing I see....

But I feel your pain too bro, there's some glue on the purple shozoku on my pair.

Random QC is done and sometimes minor things are just accepted, which is actually sad considering, how much money needs to be paid!

Not a tear. Looks like it but only excess glue. Not that big of an issue. He should be able to remove.

So anybody here got any word on the possible release date for the grey/purp inlines or assists? w/e they're called.. Nike had already confirmed the date for the Easters a cpl months before, but so far, the only future release that's been confirmed is the elites.

If he's at $180 he'll get rid of them for $170....I bet he really wanted $250 and now just "wants them gone"...the $10 isn't much but it's just the principle lol

ohhhhh they are calling those "fangs?"
I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I haven't seen the socks. I just noticed my Sulfurs and Christmas had the "fangs" and my easters have the KB symbol and couldn't figure it out. I honestly thought I'd gotten fakes at first.
