BORDEAUX 7S JULY 18th 2015

So i received one of my two pairs   , one positive thing : the pair is way better looking than previous retro  

the negative i'll have to return my two pairs ... this is probably the narrowest jordan i ever  tried on  , lenghtwise my 13.5 is ok but the width is completely off !

i predict a lot of returns for sizing issue  
 
you are trying to take that to a different level for sure.
defects are defects. nothing wrong with having an issue with that.

shape - the OG shape IS GONE. We haven't had an OG shaped product in more than a decade.

You probably should actually read these threads before trying to play devils advocate. The ignorant/petty complaints are real and have been real for a very long time.

You have teenagers complaining about OG this or that when the shoes released before they were born only to have an OG head step in and say... Bruh.... that's how the OG was.

trying to take what to a different level? the little details and big details are off.

yes the og shape is gone, why would anyone who wants it stop asking for it though? theres no reason to.

I have read this thread , what am i misrepresenting? The complaints that you call petty like the shades of color are arguably even MORE annoying than the shape, because they very easily could have got them right. Making a new midsole might be a pain, but getting the proper shade of green on the heel emblem sure as hell shouldn't be, especially when they got it right on the outsole.

you don't need to have owned these items ( or even really see them in person) to get a sense of what they look like. as someone that has seen and owns a couple of OG's, the only thing i'd say you need to see in person to best evaluate is the quality of the materials. the shape and other aesthetic details? not really. any teenagers demanding a return to og: good for them. i'd much rather see more people demand more/better instead of becoming one of the battered wives.

What the hell,.,,,, 1600??? Just when you think finishline cant mess up any more :lol:

One time i had astring of incidents with them. First they only sent me the left shoe. :lol: second they didnt ship a pair of shoes i bought until two weeks lol. Third they charged me twice for one pair of shoes. good times :lol:

And to make it worse they outsource their customer service and i can never understand the customer rep

My 11.5 was TTS. Maybe there's an issue with size 13 and up.

You go a half size down or did you get your true size?

technically  i'm a 13.75  medium  with narrow heels  so my shoes are always  13.5   or 14 if it's not too wide 

perhaps i should start going with only size 14  but  i'm always afraid of heel slippage even with an almost 12 inch lenght feet

People complainig about shape of a shoe but can't even shape their own body. (This is a joke since people cant detect sarcasm in text)
 
Called ftl and all they had me do was confirm billing address and name etc...then agree to be charged. Wtf I bet not get two charges and only 1 pair. Still no shipping confirm yet...BTW has there been an of comparison video of the 0gs to the 15s yet? I was almost positive complex would have did 1

This is actually typical of FTL. Good thing you called.
 
If you haven't received email from FNL about shipping chances are you won't receive shoes. Just received email at work saying they over sold by 1600 pairs and are contacting stores to see if they still have pairs to fulfill orders.
here we go!!!

Watch Ebay Explode now!

1600 is alot
 
I ended up returning my pair - the pull tab and inner boogie on the right shoe was defective. It's a shame that we have to deal with these issues on $200 shoes. Regardless I was not happy with the upper material and fit of this retro.

Here is my video of the shoes.

i didnt buy these? i have no problem voting with my wallet...

compromises are made with every shape but the 7 is just one of those models that's too far gone for me.

Doesn't matter to me, at the end of the day I'm still going to receive the Bordeauxs and these are close to the OG than the 2011 pair (Midsole wise but the 2011 pair); that's all that matters

I think the last time I purchased a shoe from Finishline was for the Gamma 11s and that was only because I won their e-mail raffle.

I hated the suede on the 2011's. It took too much maintenance to keep them up. I prefer the durabuk/nubuck since you can just wipe them off and not worry about discoloration and water spots.
