Finally got my pair, and I'm utterly disappointed with the craftsmanship. Can't say I'm too surprised, though. Both shoes have flat spots on the front of the toe caps. It looks like they formed the leather around an octagon. One shoe has pretty bad creasing on the toe box, to the point where it looks like they were worn. That really sucks considering the 2011 pair I wear regularly still has no creasing on either toe box. The left shoe's tongue is deformed, and sags down on one side. However, the right shoe's tongue sits even all the way across. Icing on the cake was a nice big snag in the shoelace near the lace tip. Thankfully I still have two deadstock pairs of 2011's, and I might just get the midsole painted darker on my worn pair.

Needless to say, Nike customer support got a phone call, and I came away with a 20% off code that I'll probably never use. The customer support rep told me the Hare VII's got a massive amount of complaints with quality control. I imagine they're about to plenty more calls after people start receiving these. Nike and JB need to take responsibility for scamming their loyal customers. I'm in the process of putting together a class action lawsuit for their false advertising of increased quality control that was used justify the ridiculous price hike. I find it hard to believe Nike bothers B-grading anymore. Instead, Nike probably pushes every pair out to the market, and gambles on whether or not they'll get returns. Any pairs that get returned are those that'll end up in outlets. So essentially, the customers are their quality control. Here's a big F-YOU to JB and Nike.

I think people are way too picky and worship these shoes to the point that they want them flawless when in reality it's still just a shoe made by people in a factory in China.

You have every right as a consumer to return the shoes if you're disappointed but class action lawsuit over a $190???? Yeah, good luck with that.

Nike approved this PR article. This is called false advertising.

"THE PROCESS

Every pair produced under the Retro Remaster regime will pass through over 100 sets of hands before it gets boxed up and unleashed to eager sneaker consumers at retail. As the shoes go from one step of the intricate process to the next, each person that handles them wears white cotton gloves to keep the product as pristine as possible. Whether it’s cutting materials, lining up edges, or molding the shape, everything has to be absolutely perfect before it can get the green light to move on to the next stage of production."
