WOW you know its a hot sneaker when it sells out in 4 hrs in EDMONTON
That didnt happen when the CG XI's came out or the Anniversary XI's
Got my 2 pairs but had to settle for 11's instead of 10.5's because of the unexpected demand for these up here.
I gotta say that Im pretty happy with the shoe overall...........would have been nice to have better materials than the dust magnet nubuck they used but not a biggie to me cause I dont plan on wearing them in dusty, dirty, muddy places lol and I clean my kicks after I wear em.....always have always will
This shoe makes me regret not copping a pair of Bin V's.........maybe Ill try finding a pair, but seeing the prices, maybe not

I finall saw and touched them today personally. The shape overall is actually all OK.
clear outsoles are same like previous retros. The shape of the tongue is also
OK but is indeed a bit different to my 2000 retros.
The ankle support is like this years stiffer and thicker than on the 2000 retros.
While this makes them less comfy for casual wearing, for balling it provides a bit
more support and stability.
The shape of the toe is all OK.
The main big difference to the 2000 and 2007 black/silver V's
is of course the leather which has been switched from the classic
Durabuck to the softer Nubuck/Suede. I'm still not sure whether i should
call this one nubuck or suede, because it is somehow between both materials.

OK. How do I keep these from yellowing faster. My 07 Retros netting and soles yellowed really fast. Maybe because of the salt on the ground. But what are some things I can do to slow down the process?

Yeah, but you won't see the ones saying they would sit back in here admitting they were wrong.
Comparing a OG colorway to a patent pleather one, especially after the wolf greys did well

I just got my pair today, and I love them. I too, want to know how to keep or slow down the yellow netting. I thought about doing the rit dye method in a grey color to keep them from yellowing. I can handle the soles if they yellow, but the netting is what looks nasty once it has yellowed.

Originally was gonna pass due to the "ashy larry" looking material... Took my 15yr old @ 9 a.m. to buy, I still passed, he loved them.. After seeing them about 5x today, I finally broke down and purchased the last 10.5 @ my local spot after I tried them on!!

These looked way better in person than i expected. First shoe that i doubled up on. As far as the suede/nubuck being a lint magnet, just get a horse hair brush and give them a few swipes before you wear them or put them away.

Take the paper out..........I usually throw it in a zip lock in the box in case I ever sell em.
Throw a small pack of silica sand, or put some damp-rid in your closet. This should help keep the moisture down.
Clean your soles after you wear em and when youre done cleaning make sure you dry them off.
Do not seal them in zip locks and if you want to keep em dust free then poke holes in the zip lock so that they can breathe......otherwise theyll crumble the day you wear em
Everybody has their way, this happens to be mine and it works for me. Doesnt hurt that I live in a dry and cold climate either

Quality is on point. Proof positive that people need to chill the eff out when it comes to judging specific aspects of quality by sample pics and whatnot. Really happy with these. Probably the biggest sleeper of the year along with the Playoff 13's.

My pair had some glue around the midsole, it was annoying to take off but finally got it all. Other than that my shoes are lookin fresh!
