OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Got my 24segons package. My mailman said yolo apparently and left it at my door without a signature

Few bad things though. Box is hammered and destroyed, wish they had double boxed. And also I have an imperfection on the swoosh

. Looks like the screen printing they did had a square missing as its not like a scratch/chunk out. Seems to be a perfect square.
My box was mauled as well... but luckily my shoes are perfect. Good thing these were to rock...
 
^ Wow. I was a little bummed that my box didn't arrive in mint condition, but after seeing that I consider myself lucky.
 
Just found another flaw on the heel. SMH!

And now that I can see up close from my pic, it's not a perfect square on the swoosh. So does just look like a scuff/rip mark. Trying to use my finger to rub most of the white crap off the heel, got about half of it gone. What a disappointment.

^^ Clean up the heel (easy to do) and then flip these to someone. Then buy another pair with the money you got from flipping them if it bugs you that much.

I have two pairs. No flaws this bad, but both have some stuff done to them. I am not complaining as I'm planning to rock the hell out of them. But I would feel the same way if I got pairs like that...

Yeah my 12.5 I got originally from the UK seem pretty flawless. These, I don't know. Quality control is weird. I am also noticing some weird bubbling under the plastic where the NIKE is. Not sure if that's common or not.
 
Yeah the glue marks under the plastic are there on my 12.5s but the K of the NIKE is nowhere as skewed.

Anyone have any experience with dealing with Nike over flaws? Not going to return them obviously.
 
I am trying to decide between the Blue Lights or the Blitz. I will only be buying one of these 2 shoes.The upper portion is a coin toss for me. However, what are the pros and cons of each shoe's bottom sole? As far as how it would look after use, cleaning, if one attracts more dirt than the other, etc. It seems that the material used for the sole is different in both shoes. The blitz looks more rubbery, but maybe I'm wrong.Blue Lights solehttp://cdn.sulitstatic.com/images/2013/0321/053452231_0532045917a8a11abe294fb07014d24d19c3e37442e84152d.jpgBlitz solehttp://cdn.nikeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Nike-Kobe-8-BLITZ-BLUE-8.jpg
