The true blues and my local finishline were flawless

I saw these at a footaction, two footlockers and a champs. All looked flawless.

I have two pairs. 1 was flawless; the other had blue paint spilling over to the white midsole and the midsole paint was like cracking already. I'm planning on buying a better condition one then returning my flawed pair.

Is it possible to go half size down on these? I wear a tre 8.5 how bad would it be if I just copped an 8. Getting one 50 bucks below Canadian retail so I'm curious lol
 
Honestly I don't see you being able to wear those comfortably. I just sent my tts 10.5 back and ordered an 11

Gheez it'd be that bad huh? Well thanks a lot for your input, it helped a lot

it's only cuz the insole is really thick. Once you break it in it'll be fine unless you went half up cuz when you break that in it'll be too big

maybe if you hoop in them you'll really break em in. I'd keep looking though
 
Okay I sent my pair back to Nike and I was waiting for my returned pair, so I called because my status is saying preparing to ship. I was wondering why it was saying this is they had received the shoes and why didn't they send out my replacement pair. Well turns out that they sent them out and UPS left them on the porch. With that being said, when I got home there was nothing on the porch. I didn't know this until I talked with a Nike rep tonight. So there's nothing on the porch and neither did I or the Nike rep know that they had sent out an advance pair in return for my pair. So now I have to go escalation. I angry right now. Has anyone ever had this happen to them and what was the outcome? I do not want to lose my money on this BS.
 
I've had my share of quality issues with Jordans the past few years but I checked these out today at the mall and they're not nearly as bad as some of you make them out to be.

What's so bad about the leather? It isn't premium but it's better than the Cement 4s I bought recently.

I'm aware there are issues but in some of these pics I can't even see what's wrong.

They're still shoes and won't be perfect. Your best bet is to check them out before you buy them if you can. Luckily with these there are plenty available to inspect.

I'm happy with my pair, not perfect - had a glue stain on 5he EP but I got it out with a suede eraser, also the paint was a little sloppy with some of the blue midsole overlapping onto the white.. Oh well, could always touch up with some angelus. Tried on just for a minute and they felt really nice.

Can we take a look at some close up shots so we can see the tab swap in better detail? It looks clean from far away. 

Yeah, that all cap with every word is annoying but you get a pass since you don't know wtf is up with it unlike another NT'er who purposely does it thinking he unique lol

Worth the price savings, do it. Just wear thin socks
 
The tabs themselves are excellent. Tabs provided by beat2heatrestorations on IG. He didn't swap them tho, he's great, so are many others (kends2376, thiscuban, Raleighrestorations) those are my top 3.

Here's a few pics. First shoe is pretty good, second pic shows they flex, some don't! never buy those. Third pic is where I'm a little disappointed, the bottom of the tab didn't get squeezed all the way down so there's a small but noticeable when up close gap, you'll never see when on feet, but this is Niketalk homie, you know? Lol

Another route is to keep the original tab and shave off the jump man, replace with the Nike logo and repaint, beat2heat sells a good kit too if you don't need the whole tab. I should've done that in retrospect.

Repped for the details. Overall, I think they came out good. Like you said, you can barely even notice the gap unless you're up close but all in all, that's a pretty darn solid job. 

I also had the OG's back in '89, they were my second pair of OG 4s that year and I absolutely cannot wait until they remaster these...automatic 3 pairs for me.

The OG Fire Red 4s in particular has special meaning to me because it was the pair I had on feet when I first was able to dunk a basketball.

Thanks for sharing the pics bro!

yea but maybe it wouldnt have been left on the porch if homie had known a UPS package was comming and when it was comming.

mychoice would have sent him notification that he has a package comming as soon as nike creates the label. he then can track and know what day his kicks r comming. and he would have even gotten a mychoice nofitication when his package has been delivered so then he can know a package is currently on his porch . he then either has somebody bring it inside, or go home and do it himself.

right now it looks like 1 of a few things....1) ups delivered his package to his porch but he didnt know and didnt get to it in time and it got stolen. scumbags come out during the holidays to do things like follow delivery trucks and swipe packages.     2) ups delivered his package to the wrong address, orit was left with a neighbor    or 3) ups didnt actuallydeliver. they just str8 up lost that joint
