Question about Gold flightposites (if this is supposed to be in Nike forum please move)

[airjordanxviii]

So I placed a special order monday for the gold flightopsites for 50.... and i'm not too satisfied

First the package (wohoo!! before I opened the box up and realized the box was sorta beat up)

What are these oil stains?!?!?! Are these normal? They're on the box and on the paper

Now some flaws (or are these normal)??
Lint on the velcros

Random imperfections

I just wanna know if these are normal or is this enough to warrant an exchange for another pair??

I might put in some more money to double box these things.

uh.. you get what you pay for.


did you honestly expect a pair of shoes that you got at outlet price to look pristine?


that shoe dropped months ago, shoe stores are not museums.

To be honest, not pristine, but good condition. This is fair DS condition. I was looking for good DS condition.

I'd be happy gettin' those for 50 w/imperfections. They dont seem bad at all

 

[harejordantwentythree]

Yo, the oil and stains are normal on Flightposites. I bought mine on or near release dates and they were like that.
Be happy you got a $180 shoe for almost 1/4 of the price and in DS condition.

 

[thefoamcollector]

oil stains are normal on all foamposites too. nothing to worry about. for $50 you came out good

 

[bigj505]

Did you order those from Footaction?

 

[twinsnyc]

Those look good to me, I dont see anything wrong.

 

[nyrican23]

Why are so concerned with them being a fair or good DS ......just wear the damn sneakers. Be happy for the price you got them for.

 

[miamib30514]

That's why I'm asking IF ITS NORMAL. Damn.

 

[alex2182]

Dang u transported i feel u cuz i wud never pay $180($50 kinda sorta(i ordered some 8s that got reduced nd the box was beat & was seperated a little bit)nd get that but i doubt theres much u can do if u got em from footaction or wateva means theres prolly none in your area around(to exchange) yea it has flaws(lint is not a flaw LOL) but damn dem joints is straight fire

 

[mst9023]

there not bad for 50

 

[airmaxes]

You're good

 

[sneakerfan93]

Good buy for $50

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

Lmao @ everyone ripping him. I don't care how much the damn shoes cost, if my pair came like that i'd be scratching my head wondering too.

Sick pickup, gonna get a pair hopefully if they're still around. I went with the Pippens first instead. BTW, was it just one shoe that was linty? It couldof been the display pair. But if not just get a towel, wipe them down and lint roll them.

 

[itsaNYthing]

I thought I was a perfectionist. If I bought that pair for retail, I wouldn't have notice those imperfections, except for the oil stains.

 

[vintagekicks23]

Yea ain't nothing wrong wit it..............
basically from some1 that worked for footlocker that's just the stockroom
stuff gets hot back there..........then u got things like people steppin on stuff.
I even remeber eating on top of boxes and dropping crap like bacon, soda
so pretty sure that was some1 working at the store u bought them from.

lol im tryin 2 sell my joints!
