View media item 2158930May be hard to see but the sole is starting to separate from the mid sole. Worn everyday for about two weeks. No ball. Only ~3 miles of walking everyday. Hopefully this is just a one off issue

^3 miles of walking every day wearing them?That's the equivalent of outdoor court use; these aren't durable enough for that.

Respectfully disagree.
3 miles of walking is extremely easy to accomplish in a day. In fact, if you aren't taking enough steps in a day to accumulate to 3 miles, then you probably need to get out a chair more (theoretical "you," not "you" personally). The average person walks like 5 miles a day I think.
Also def not equivalent of outdoor court use.
Outdoor court would involve much more abrupt start-stop through cutting and lateral movements then just wearing around town for a day.
Either way, these should hold up through the former. Hopefully a one off issue.

FNL employee told me most all of their boxes arrived like that. Definitely a "top of a pile" box lol. I actually put a piece of cardboard under the paper in mine to give it some stability.

the flagship model shouldn't have issues like this after a few weeks of use.

One off defects happen. Until we get widespread reports of that being an issue I'm not concerned.
Let's not jump to another XX8 deflating bags again.

Don't care about the box one iota. I was referring to the sole separation the guy above was talking about. Hopefully that was nothing more than bad luck but regardless such things should not happen on a flagship model.

Its walking, during my lunch at work. I'm not even working up a sweat. I don't have any issues with the XXXs, boost, or my ones. Wear and sole separation are two different things.

Good points made, my mind was thinking sole wear. Thnx

Yeah they definitely shouldn't separate like that. I would wear the **** out of them then send them back to Nike for a voucher.

I got my NDC reserved pair yesterday. Didn't get a chance to look closer until I got home!

These are awesome!!
As others have said they look much better in person vs photos. I already have the USA's so I already knew comfort would be fantastic! These just look very "premium" to me. They did this colorway justice for the new shoe!
If I read it, I must have not caught it but seeing that these come with an extra pair of red laces was a great move by Nike/JB. So I did the switch to see which looks better...
Black laces

Red laces
View media item 2159066
Gotta say I'm digging the red laces in them. Kinda makes the color on the shoes "pop" more. Think I'm gonna leave them in there for now. Only wish Nike/JB included a pair of white laces with them as well as were with the Banned 1's. Guess I can take them out of my USA's to see how that looks?
Overall, these are sweet. Super happy to have a pair reserved to make it easy. Going to stores on Saturday wasn't an option due to work. Next up will be Black Toes, as long as they look as good as I think they will. [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji]

^If you do the white lace swap post a pic please. Curious to see how it looks before I try to track down appropriate laces.

I already sent em back for a refund since it was in the 30 days, but now I'm wondering if I should wear the hell out of my Banned pair. I wasnt originally going to wear them for a while since I have my Banned 1s

Thanks buddy. I'll pull my USA's out of my closet and take the laces out and do it quick and post a pic. Give me 10 minutes. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Hey buddy, here you (and anyone else interested in a white lace swap) go! [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji]

When I started lacing them, I wasn't too sure. But now that I see the end result, they look cool! Laces match up with the midsole and work well. These have the red/blue fade lace tips, but now I may have to find a similar style white laces to keep on hand. Anyone know who sells these style laces (flat edges on round laces)?
Hope this helps anyone out who may be thinking of doing the swap. [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji]

Put in 45 minutes of shooting. Feels good.
