Maybe someone has em in thier cart. keep refreshing!!!!

im actually disappointed that he labeled the pics. you should have left them unlabeled and taken a poll on which pair was the "MK" and which pair was the "?" pair because all everyone is doing now is speculating over the MANUFACTURING VARIANCES that inevitably come from a MASS PRODUCED product. i guarantee if the pics hadnt been labeled people would not be so absolute on their choice of which was "fake"(wrong term) and which was "real"(another wrong term)...

got through!! just bought the 12. over the phone.

 

[xwillie beamonx]

I wonder if I should call eastbay to try to order a 10.5

Man, you must have got a legit rep.  Both times I called this morning, before I could even finish my sentence I get interrupted with "No, I'm sorry those are actually completely sold out, sorry."  Can't even take the two seconds to look... 

  

 

[younggambit]

Well its no problem if I can't get them because I have my 2 pairs already. Just wanted to give a heads up to the NT fam for those who were unable to grab a pair! Good luck people..

.  I instantly could smell the STRONG glue smell from the shoes. The carbon paper is pretty close to my authentic pair but it's still off as well as the box, plastic XI overlay and shoe trees.  Sadly, they look slightly better than my legit pair but whatever, the JB quality has been inconsistent anyways.  Now I'm stuck with a Fake pair of concords while all my other kicks are legit.  Thought about returning em, but it took a month for them to even come, who know if they'd even make it back and if she'll even get refunded.  Wouldn't dare sell a fake pair of shoes to anyone.  I mean I could wear em but I HATE FAKES as much as the next person and vowed to never buy fakes.  What to do...
Snapped some pics with my phone comparing both pairs.

Legit box on right

Legit pair on top

Legit pair on right

Legit pair on bottom

they look legit... if your stressing that much put them on ebay for 300 they will sell real quick... im sure mad people looking for a pair would be happy with them

If any of you remember the shape of the Original XI's, it appears that the Mental Kicks pair was made with a mold that is much closer to the original '95 XI mold! I actually love the shape/bulkyness, I wish Nike never switched molds, most of the new XI Retro's actually look more like the fakes that people were producing in the early to mid 2000's with the exception of the Concord, Nike tried to get a little closer to the original mold. Still slightly off though.

I just spoke to an eastbay rep and she said they did not actually have those sizes in stock and she did not know why they even went up on the site. If you were able to place an order, she said it would be cancelled and your money would be refunded.

That makes no sense to me!

 

[philaflava1]

Eastbay does not have them. It was a glitch due to the Western Union and failed CC processes. I'm sure it'll be down within the hour.

Restock is still coming boys....

Im on Long Island, this would be a nice if I got mine today as well 

 

[nyk110283]

just called on phone and also tried talking thru that live chat, said they don't got any.

thanks for the info and updates philaflava1, and good looks to those posting the eastbay link anyway, it was worth a shot. much appreciated to all helping people trying to get their first pair of these

 

[allthingsjordan]

Rep I just talked to says...."Oh I don't have any of those" I push the issue a little bit and mention the sizes showing up on website and she says " well I did have a size 13.5 a few minutes ago but its gone" .....what in the wolrd is going on in wisconsin?   

 

[taylorswiftordie]

Those shoes from mental kicks look more than fine the only thing off is that white spot on the heel but I guarantee you that pairs straight from Nike have the same problem here and there. And to the guy pointing out horrible stitching on the PL concluding that there fake ....... We're in 2012 jb quality is garbage . I've said it and you've probably said it before too . So now shoes are considered fake because nappy stiching is all over the place. My pair from eastbay has stiching hanging all out of the side of the jumpman

 

[devilssi1481]

Man if these somehow got restocked today somewhere or on eastbay before I have to go to work in an hour, it would be the greatest birthday present to myself ever!!!!!

ummm...rock em?! i mean, if you're just talking about the creasing PL (that's all i see that's wrong maybe I need a new monitor)...their gonna crease regardless if you get em pre creased or not after you wear em anyways.

I don't think its the PL... notice the area where the midsole meets the PL.. it is so crooked and has a deep indent at the arch!! Looks like it was cut by some kid in preschool. Yeah, might as well wear them...

Besides the box and price....what the hell is the difference between a sz 7 youth and sz 7 Men? still the same size

I dont think they use carbon fiber on the youth pairs. its just a black plastic on the 7Y, while the mens have carbon fiber plates. Suppose to be a bit wider fit too, and of course price is higher.

 

[sosaiii]

use a lighter on those loose threads they will ball up & stay put , "DON'T CUT or PULL them."

eastbay playing with peoples emotions
