Agreed; mine fit perfect. It takes some time to break-in the midsole, but no real complaints. Actually like the fit much better than the '16 space jams/black concord PEs; those always felt too bulky and clunky to me. Looked great, but never enjoyed wearing them and recently got rid of them.
I don't know...look at some of these vintage images; swoosh doesn't look like anything special....largely the same as we're seeing for this release, no?

Thanks for pulling those pics. Seems like an important and super easy detail if they're trying to match OG. Personally think the grey is better. So is Nike confused over what was actually OG, or were they grey and Nike just wants to make these less than 100% to make sure they have something...
I'm not a 180 expert, but the shape is looking pretty good on these. Thoughts? Wish this was the shock drop. 5/24...a Friday launch....hmm....I'm good with that.
It's a damn shame they don't make all 4s as comfortable as the SBs. I'd replace all of my 4s with the same colorway to get that comfort, or even better use modern super foams (without changing the look)...call it remastered reimagined retro protro ultra plus premium campaign ;-).
That was always my understanding, but now when I pull up OG/Vintage pics where the wings haven't yellowed, they do look white. There's only an apparent contrast b/c the leather is not white, but off-white.
For this release the blue in most pics is way darker than reality; in hand, without...
Interesting how the military black and even the What The 4s have grey wings, despite the OGs were actually/apparently white. When did military blues become associated with grey wings? Not true to the OG retros from '06 and '12?
Generally I prefer the Navy, however, now that I have the Military Blue's, despite the hue being way diff, I don't need these Navy SBs and will hold onto my Pine Greens. Green is also our corporate colors so perfect office wear ;-).
On my Oreo 4s I had moved the laces from the middle hole on the wings to the bottom, and a couple of those ripped thru. Now I just use the middle/factory hole and have never had that problem again. But on the bottom eyelets....damn, that seems almost impossible unless they're being tied so...
Weren't Playoffs available at many other retailers for weeks after release despite Nike direct selling out?
For the WC3s, I didn't meet their EA criteria but still got access. It's all BS if you ask me. It's out of your control so not worth worrying about, and I doubt they dropped most of their...
UPDATE - My package showed up; Fedex circled back with the delivery!
Initial observations:
- They look amazing!
- No QC issues.
- Toe cap/rand material is really nice.
- Smooth "leather" on the toe box is complete a-s-s; it bewilders me how anyone could say it's anything more than barely...
I think you're both saying similar things. Nike should take care of the customer b/c it's their relationship, but then turn around and chargeback Fedex. They CAN do that, and I'm sure do so all the time. That said, in this case, it may very well could be USPS who messed up and put it back in...
I return infrequently; maybe 1 in 15-20 orders. Never claimed a missing item. A few years ago I bought 3 sizes of a $500 ACG goretext jacket and sent back 2 and they only processed one of them. They were in the same box from the same order. The warehouse screwed up but they said they were giving...
Nike never lets me redirect to a Fedex location; it's always restricted and requires you call them to allow it, which takes too much time and is never feasible.
