That is what I really want to see. I hope they are nice. I been balling in my high top elites the last few days and I really enjoyed it. Im having a hard time not buying a lot of 9's because I like each model. I feel each model brings its own unique feel. I wanted to limit myself to two pairs of each model but its pretty tough lol. I think em's may be the easiest to do that with. The high tops I want to get more of because they are unique and new to the line. The elite lows are aesthetically amazing.
Interested in seeing how those Black Elites that are supposed to drop next month look.

I don't think so. won raffle at a hoh and able to buy a pair off ndc and ftl. 1 for a friend, one to stock other to return after comparing which has least factory flaws. so i maybe the minority here tho. all discounted too.
i play in the hyper grapes. i stopped too abruptly once and fell. shoes had too much grip. feels great too. planned to play these only indoors to have a lasting clear sole.

china EMs look really ugly to me, mainly because of the stupid gold and i hate that plastic coating on the toe
The stupid gold?!
I guess you gotta' make up a reason to dislike them EM joints.

There isn't anything special about them.. They can easily be made on ID aside from the tongue.

What are the chances FTL double-boxed the beethoven's?

Wait the Beethoven has over taken the MP in the poll? Ha ha yeah ok. More Beethoven owners than MP owners I see and the Beethoven is the flavor of the month so I get it. They look similar to the Details and they only got 4% of the vote. Chopping the top off the detail doesn't change the sneaker that much IMO.

Everything i get from them is double-boxed!!! Still have had damage but I would say 95 percent of the time the boxes come clean!

Its got nothing to do with Beethovens looking better than MPs, no matter how limited MPs are more people will always want Beethovens because they are lows.
I don't think its got anything to do with being the flavor of the month, its got everything to do with real world wearability.

I've only ordered from Eastbay in the past and have NEVER received anything double-boxed. Because they're basically the same company, I just assumed FTL would ship in that crap bag like Eastbay do.
I'm on the other side of the world so double-boxed on the bae's would be amazing

I get what your saying. I think in a honest moment without knowing how limited or what either is worth, if you put both shoes in front of someone and said choose 1. I think the MP is by far the better looking sneaker IMO. Beethoven's are beautiful shoe though. I didn't realize it was the clear obvious favorite of so many. The poll surprised me.

Hmmm interesting.... I have never seen a bag (only finishline with jordan/air maxs), but that could be because of weight if they are shipping to the other side of the world. I will update you on how my AJ 3's come in, I have a pair coming from the footlocker.

Agreed. Just more practical/wearable. I have made lots of choices to not buy shoes I liked because I questioned their wearability. High top IX Elites were not one of them, but I can totally see how some people would skip them.
Agreed again. MP is still #1 for me, out of everything I own. Might be for a long time.

From what I've read, I thought Eastbay/FTL/Champs/FA always shipped in a bag apart from limited stuff?
My shipment is listed as 4.2 lbs so I'm hoping that should be double-boxed.

I mainly order AJ/KOBE from footlocker and eastbay, never deal with champs or FA, but I promise that's not case. And if it weighs 4.2 you are getting a double box! I think these weigh like 3 lbs. just sitting in a nike box, so you should definitely be good on these! I hope so, nothing worse than a nike box destroyed from bad packaging but it happens.

Sweet. You should see the box I got my hyperrev's in from Eastbay. Completely destroyed. Thankfully the shoes were all good I didn't have to make a return.
