CRACKED FOAMPOSITE THREAD

[ninjahood]

nike aint gonna be able to get 200+ if people think foams is gonna crack after some light wearing, thats for damn sure.

 

[matthijst]

Just got my return label from Nike, so no problems here.

Don't think I'll buy another pair of foams again, unless I can get them at outletprices.

Damn sucks y'all pay so much to have this happen. But they aer making foams cheaper now. The material just isn't the same anymore. All in all it isn't that bad though, you need a super close up to see the cracking. Sometimes y'all gotta let some things slide.

 

[ziggybubbles]

If I spend good money on foams I expect them not to crack after4 or5 wears
That's something I just can't slide

My 30 days old Stealth Foamposite starts cracking at the toe, right below where the fabric is sewn together.
Bought them from Nike directly, and was asked to send them some pics, so I'm sure this will be resolved under warranty.
Bit bummed about it that it happened, but only because these were my first foams and I loved how comfortable they are.
Now I'm a bit "scared" to ever buy another pair of foams, so kinda curious if this happens more often.
Though by the comments I read on NT hardly anyone has cracks in their foams, so this seems bad luck.

If this crack was at another spot I wouldn't worry so much, but because it's right where the fabric is stitched on top
and your toes twist on your feet, it looks like it will only tear further in the future. This was after 5 days of (office) wear.

Nike products have a 2 year warranty so if you buy them for retail and wear them then you'd be OK as far as receiving compensation for defective pairs.

2 years from the date inside the shoe not from date of purchase. I remember back in the day when you could request shoes when you had a defect pair. in dc we had a lil move goin on where we deflated bubbles on shoes when we wanted a new pair and sent a not of what we wanted. worked everytime until hypebeasts came into play and shoes got more limited

 

[matthijst]

They had some size 13's left, but i need a 10, so getting a refund (probably get the retro '88 3's now). Nike also told me they can only refund or take them back when you bought straight from them. So I guess I'll be buying future shoes there then.

I took full advantage of the replacement program back in the early 2000's.  Some were legit and some weren't.

Some dudes went crazy sending shoes back for free money

I decided to give my AF-1 foams another chance on my feet, since the cracks were really small.  After two more days of wear, the cracks tripled in size.  They suck.  I am very upset about this whole thing.  There are many, MANY Nikes on ebay that I would like to buy.  I just can't do it- Nike won't stand behind them.

 

[mikeylab]

have you heard back from nike yet?

 

[thegradeschooldropout]

Damn they are really cracking down on the returns

 

[juaninzze]

Non of my foamposite have cracks in it even the oldest in my collection are still good and i wear all of them.

There is def a defect with those foamposite forces though and its crazy how they cant take em just cause you got them on ebay....wtf you cant tell your product is real or fake?

My 'foam' AF-1 are definitely 100% authentic- but Nike won't take them back because I bought them on eBay.  To them, they are essentially fake since I got them from eBay.

This takes me back to 9th grade 2001-2002 school year. My first pair of shoes I returned back was the dark graphite/red flightposite 1's due to the sole legitimately having a hole on the bottom with minimum wear. They send me a $160 voucher through the mail and I held it up until December 15, 2001 for the black/red Jordan 11's and ordered them on niketown.com. So, after I did that, me and a friend of mine used to find old shoes in the gym just sitting around. We used to clean them up real nice and cut the bottom of shoes, pop air bubbles, and etc. I got like 5 people doing it and it always worked lol. It was like we was getting free shoes lol. It all came to an end when Nike send me a letter saying that they wanted to take me to court for the scam that I was doing.. My mom had to call Nike and beg them not to do it and tell them that I wasn't going to do it anymore ( I was 15 at the time). So, after that happened, I didn't do it for years. I did do it once after, but I used a fake name and my older sisters address and it worked again lol, After that, I completely stopped and look back at how dumb and juvenile it was..

I know I get a late pass but if you didn't buy it from Nike it self, they would not be able to help you because you got it from ebay. ebay doesn't deal anything. a retail store does.

 

[mikeylab]

you absolutely get a late pass
