I think sneaker news is reporting that those "China" EMs have a white based XDR sole

Wish they would put that option on Nike ID!

yep... sucks only have dark grey color for the XDR version

id be more than happy to ask my buddy how many he'd be willing to buy. When he wakes up Ill ask him how close a nike or footlocker is to where he lives.

Philippines>China's without a doubt. The details on the Philippines make them unique while you can pretty much id a pair of the China's. But make these exclusive to china and you guys think they're fire

Stopped by my local FTL and can confirm that it comes with purple laces only. Fits a little snugger than the elite highs and there seems to be slightly less room in the toe box. I am going TTS on these for the perfect fit. My elite highs are a little roomy in the toebox at TTS. 

They look somewhat royal blue in that picture? Was it just the lighting or are they a lot less purple than they look in the promo shots (if that makes sense)? Also, I know people said the Lebron XI midsole would fit into the Elite highs, but do you have any guess as to whether they'll fit in these comfortably since the toe box since less roomy? Thanks

 

[king16]

not my favorite colorway by any means (was lucky enough to score on mps) but regardless these shots i took over the weekend came out pretty well

Wow This picture sold me.  I was like 50/50 on these and now I'm 100%.  Just picked up a raffle ticket for them.  They will be great for the rest of the summer.

Fake bro... You need to check who sold you these pairs with your goons

If those are fake, they are really good fakes!  The only thing I noticed was that the swoosh looks completely smooth.  On my pair, the swoosh has a wavy pattern on them.

 

[blacklion23]

Those Maestros look very legit to me.

We'll with what you just said one of you has a fake pair haha question is WHO ????

 

[iks mod]

@aiya  thanks for thoughts on sizing.  Still went with the size I had in the highs for my iD pair.  Thinking it'll be fine, hopefully at least...

 

[blacklion23]

The swoosh on my pair(Maestros)looks the same as the swoosh in the pics. And I don't think it's patterned, just the flynit it's on top of makes it look that way.

LOL I got mine from Footlocker but who knows!?  Here's a close up of the swoosh and the wavy fingerprint texture

Thanks, wish i saw this earlier. I sized .5 down thinking they fit like the Highs. Oh well, glad i got my reserve ticket.

Yea the flyknit lows are definitely tighter than the elite highs. Wish I had gone half a size bigger on my ID's now.

Lol another member said that the chinas would go great with his sunday niners gear. Then @addy85 quoted the text and put that niners gif. Then I quoted him with the cowboys gif because he had them in his bio.
