Yea the toe dents seem to be a reoccuring theme...

I have 7 of the 8 n9000's that have released this year, Ive sized down .5 size to a us 10 in every pair. They all fit me exactly the same as a asics or Nike 10.5. With that said I think I've been pretty lucky and none of my pairs have any major quality issues expect the colonel blue pattas red tongue bled on the laces they came with. I gave my sombras a quick look yesterday I didn't think they had any toe dents I just had to goto grab them real quick and try them on lol

[st0mps100]

what is the cause of the toe dent in the sneaker ?

 

[slippycondios]

WW are always a month after

 

[VegetableLasagna]

I'm thinking the toe dents are mostly a mishap for overseas buyers...from the beating they took inside the box on the way over without being double boxed (even though the box itself ended up being fine for me). 

....thats my best guess. 

 

[slippycondios]

Still not enough to quench the thirst. Jan 24 couldn't come any faster 

 

[ross94]

Debts aren't caused by overseas transportation. It's a manufacturing fault or process. It looks the show has very little support or shaping at the toebox, perhaps some New Balance toe puff would resolve the issue...

 

[joelom]

Yea dents are from assembling the toe wrong. Also the material plays a part in it. I don't think the material is thick enough and is too soft. I've beem wearing my Santa GLIIIs and they're all suede and don't dent.

Haha joe were exact opposite my snowmans have a pretty bad dent on the left shoe and none on my sombras lol

Here's the Sols with Urban Camo flat laces on.

Goes well imo, but I think I still prefer the ropes that came with it.

And regarding the toe dents, my left pair (pictured) is perfect but my right pair is slightly dented. I think it's down to the material used, and that particular cut of suede was a little too supple and soft, so it kind of collapses under it's own weight.

nice but as you said, ropes look better imo..i was about to put on the white flats but i still think the ropes are the best choice for these..

 

[bryanay1]

Any idea when the sombras will be available in the states?

^ nice! Almost a perfect match with the tan, although i still think the stock ropes are best. Sols just aren't cut out for lace swaps i guess.

I agree the stock ropes are the best and the alternate flats they came with have to be the worst of all time. Lol.

Agreed. Those look like bra straps to me.
