First pair of 13s, performance beasts. Three hours of hoops, broke them in for about 8-9 hours of casual wear prior to this morning. TTS too, these are up there for me. Had the LeBron XX’s in the bag just in case, didn’t even think about switching out of them.
Nice to hear. I was super excited to hoop in them this coming week but I bruised my heel on a reverse layup and now I’m out for the foreseeable future smh. These were gonna go straight to the court
 
Me & Wifey pairs finally arrived:

Think I’m gonna sought out another 9.5 & return these…
Loose threading on the side whisker:

Are you actually gonna wear these? I can assure you you're gonna have far bigger problems on those pods than "faint yellow stains" and "grit marks." Mr. Clean will be powerless to help you...
 
Restock, via Sheikh (and apparently dtlr too). No 13 at sheikh


Also if you just go on sheikh's site, the playoff 13s never show up. I guess they have some kind of kickback thing through the links they give twitter accounts.
 
My pair finally arrived from Bows and Arrows. I won’t lie, since these are my first pair of 13s I was a little disappointed seeing them come out of the box with all these dusty spots along the suede. Nothing a simple wipe down couldn’t fix but it did kind of put me off a bit.

I’ll wear these casually very lightly until I’m able to get back on the court eventually with them. Super excited to have and such a beautiful shoe.

All pairs are coming like this for the most part. Mine was the same way as well. I expected it before I got them. Once they are cleaned up they are good to go. I am real picky about that kind of stuff to.

Ordered a replacement the same night that I received those. Second pair just arrived today:
