Jordan Retro 6 "Maroon" - Dec. 5, 2015 ($220)

Don't get me wrong, we all want a flawless pair but even mine had a wrinkle n stuff

But hey - all Off White 6's

I don't expect these to stay clean at Alllllll


Prone for scuffs n creases
 
Well I just opened mine and am a but disappointed with the QC on my pair. I ordered from NDC.

The first two pictures are of my left shoe, I have arrows pointing to the flaws, not too happy with what I found when checking them out. From the two indented lines that came from who knows what to the little gash beneath the ankle puff (appears on both sides). The second pic shows the ribs/wrinkles that another NT'er also experienced on his pair.


The right shoe is better overall but still suffers a couple imperfections. Again refer to the arrows pointing to the flaws. An indent beneath the swoosh and what appears to be a paint mishap on the heel. The upper doesn't have the wrinkles that the left shoe has.

The third pic shoes janky stitching on the jumpman on the right shoe (on the left in the pic). Look at the area under the armpit without the ball. That thread is sewn into the cover. The extra piece sticking up isn't though.

Thinking of returning them this weekend and trying to findin a local store so I can look them over before purchasing.

I was the guy with the "ribs" on my pair. Sorry to see you ended up with a bunch of flaws too. I don't think I posted a pic, but mine had those crease lines up near the top of the collar as well, they damn near look like cracks in the leather, or lines that will turn into cracks.

I would do like you say and try to find a pair locally then return these. People seem to say these are sitting everywhere in the states. Different story in Canada, but I got incredibly lucky and found another pair on display (a display pair in nicer shape than the DS pair I won in the raffle haha) at a mom and pop and grabbed it. Retuned the flawed pair to HOH last night and it is now literally the only pair in stock.

Hope you can find a better looking pair. Seems none of them are without some sort of minor flaw, but excessive flaws on a shoe this pricey is just not acceptable. We deserve better for the price and promises JB made associated with this new price.

I am so LIVID. I get home to my package open the box see the Jordan 6 box. When I open the box there is a Jordan box with some Walmart water proof boots in them. Wtf never seen anything like this in my life. This is NT so here is the pic.View media item 1821923
 
/\ Not even another ****** team jordan or Nike shoe haha. There is a special place in hell for that person. Did you cop on eBay? Hope you can do a charge back.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought they were team jays at first but I can tell the box was tampered with. The bottom part of the box is being held together with scotch tape.

Thanks for the reply man. I did a quick "pick up in store" for FTL and Champs but none in my area had them available for in store pick up.

Debating on rolling the dice and ordering from FNL online, at least that way I will get $20 in rewards and the shoes. Luckily there is a Nike outlet here in Long Beach that I can return this current pair to. Those gashes near the collar are unacceptable to me.

Well I ended up finding a pair in stock at a local store. I just bought online and will pick up them up after work tomorrow (Thursday). I will make sure they are in better condition than my NDC pair were before I leave the store. This NDC pair will be returned to my local Nike Outlet shop this Saturday.

i had the same exact thing but on my left jumpman. i used scissors and cut off the lose thread, and then i VERY CAREFULLY snipped off the end attached to the arm and then u cut it off like a loose thread as well. perfect jumpman after that
 
Just got mine. Quality isn't bad. It's better than the Olympic 6 from a couple of years back
 
Quality on these are terrible . My NDC pair had a glue stain that brought up a chunk of the paint and just over one of the air bubbles and under the maroon paint there was a large streak of either glue or mold . Called and got a promo code and will send them back .
 
How are you guys sizing down on Jordan 1s? The 1s are usually always true to size. And these specific 6s don't run big. If you're comparing the tts with 1s and these maroons I'll say get the same size. Maybe, and just maybe these 6s with a tad bit more room if you wanna be technical but nothing significant. But hey I know everyone's feet is different, but if you're always sizing down on 1s or going full size down on these......you may be wearing the wrong shoe size the whole time lol.

My fit, $8.99 at Ross

Edit: it's wild how a lot of you are finding small imperfections to return these...I think part of it has to do with the fact they're not 'limited' or 'rare'
