You're absolutely right. They are being very lazy, and again have no level of consistency. Which is exactly what they advertise, consistent standards.
The people in here saying these are small problems and you should just deal with it are baffeling. You pay hundreds of dollars for something to...
Its not paranoia when they're taking real money from honest people. And they're whole brand is supposed to be built on honesty and integrity. At best they are inconistent enough to not meet the expectations they have set. At worst they're looking for quick dollars from unsuspecting customers...
That seems to be the worst part about them, customer service is non existent. On both seller and buyer ends. I'm telling you its a scam. If they let a pair go through with scratches, but deny a pair because of nothing but insole sticker font or dust specs (google yeezy boost straight from...

Bred XI they "failed" and Bred 1 on the way. I actually have pictures of my XIs from when I listed them on ebay. I'll upload and post this evening.
I just got an email from them on a failed pair I sold. They claim its the wrong font on the size sticker on the insole of the shoe. I bought the shoes in 2012 direct from Nike.com. I still have the original order email, with the order number. There's literally nothing else they found...

They started at $1000 and now most are already...
They fit a bit loose on the outside of the toebox for mens sizes. Narrow feet may want to half size down. As far as comfort its just a different feel from boost. The EM is soft, but has more of a neoprene feel to it. The inflexible plastic heel cup is something that's plagued more than one...
Here's my 2012 pair. The leather is really good. The way the shoe is designed though its really hard to keep the little bits of white rubber clean. Anyone know how it compares to the 2016 version?
Here's your impact.

A few things to note about what why...
Adidas is the future. Nike is still building plenty of business off their retros and limited releases, but they are starting to get left behind. Look at most of their new offerings. They use simplistic knit uppers with low top well cushioned platforms and are taking many design cues from...
