I remember getting the charcoal jordan 9s from nike.com in an orange nike box. My story might have been worse

Shipping department probably couldn't find or ran out of the boxes they go in and said screw it, just slap the label on em.

I just came home to a lebron box taped up ebay rookie style from Nike. Has anyone else had this happen?

When i lived in NC I used to have this happen all the time. Every time I ordered something from Eastbay/Nike the bag/box would come with a hole/tear in it as if somebody looked inside and/or opened it and re-taped it. Thought it was just the postal service being rough until I moved away, and my packages started arriving in pristine condition.

I am convinced that if I wasn't a size 15/16 more than a few of my kicks would've gotten lost in the mail.

I think somebody opened your og shipping materials and for whatever reason decided not to use their five finger discount.

 

[thapointguy]

but the box isn't banged up

 

[The7onius]

Box looks in better condition than how it would have looked grey bagged from Eastbay.

 

[serstylz2]

from Nike?? dang.. that shipping strike is taking a turn for the worse, they truly dont give a damn anymore lol 

 

[ventureblake]

They can mail me those orange 12's in a plastic grocery bag.  I don't care.

K I'm done. Sorry... Imma chill 

*sigh*

Been in this same situation.  Nike (and FTL, FNL, CHMPS) all have the same policy that the box is not considered part of the product and that if the product is not damaged, only the box, you are SOL.

 

[dafilman]

I would be pissed, I like my boxes!

Honestly brother, this box is in way better shape than some of the boxes that I've received 'double-boxed'. I know the tape and tracking label will be annoyances but the reality is that you are wearing the shoes.

 

[bigj505]

I mean a blow dryer could get the tape off. As everyone else said.... The box is in solid shape surprisingly.

So true. I've gotten some jacked up boxes even double-boxed. I wanted to strangle the shipping company.

 

[bluntobject50]

It looks like the original box may have been damaged and then UPS collects whatever it can find and then slaps the label on and sends it as is.

Neither Bron or Kyrie has had an actual Cavs colorway

The Dreams red was no where near his teams shade of red

Nike has never color matches any of brons shoes to his team tho, most of the Miami colors weren't really the same hue as Miamis red and neither were the brons before he went to Miami

 

[brewc1ty]

The team elites this year are the first accurate Heat colorway... Red with yellow accents


I liked the navy gold colorway on the 7s.. Matched well with the cavs imo

Except for maybe the Lebron Elite 9 and the Red Elite 10 NBA Championship shoe.
They matched the red Miami Jerseys well.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

looking good here 

 

[sergei]

The worst is when they ship it in a box and the inside is all jacked up. only noticed with the ID's tho.

 

[sergei]

Also trying to locate a pair of toddler fruity pebbles might be harder than finding size 13's.

3 footlockers in midtown Manhattan didn't have any.

They had one on the wall but couldn't locate the other shoe. Pretty funny/annoying.

The fact people used atc's for these is crazy.

I'll agree to disagree, miamis red is dark, those shoes were like a true red

I'm not trying to be nit picky, initially I said the shoes matched then someone said the Reds aren't the same, so then if that's the case, the only shoe I can recall that matched a cavs jersey were those black 5s

 

[armokidd]

So, safe to say black ext's arent releasing tomorrow?
