Air Jordan 6 retro “Carmine” - Nike Air - February 13, 2021

His pair ain’t pink

1. Using this blurry jpeg as reference, c'mon brah.

2. Weartesters are also top media influencers when it comes to sneakers. They are off-the-book advertisers for Nike Inc., for them to showcase "proper" Carmines to the public with a very neutral, matter of fact review, with little to no criticism or mention of the midsole discoloration, shows that they do not want to hinder potential Carmine revenue sales and thus burn any bridges with Nike Inc.

Not to mention for them to receive a "perfect pair" to review is not surprising, after now seeing their most recent twitter post. It's business.

I'd also like to say that I do usually find their reviews (with exception of this one) to be very insightful and generally the best on the internet. But like I said, it's all business at the end of the day.

Surprised no one has mentioned the part that should be painted in black

That’s never been black on 08/14s

I just screenshotted his video. Believe me I was looking. And it’s not all pairs. No one knows how many. Just a bunch a rumors at This point. Y’all just spreading the fake news narrative

There’s plenty of early review pairs on YouTube that’s aren’t pink tho

Courtside Sneakers (shop in Canada) got theirs in and said their pairs were fine.

The dude's pretty consistent in terms of objectivity tho.

 

[kingjay718]

NW has been objective and for a good minute they had stop sending him stuff because their feelings were hurt. Now they do here and there. And he hasn’t wavered. Out of all the reviewed, he’s at a table with his wife alone.

...and those folks are most likely sent "proper" pairs from Nike Inc., either directly or indirectly.

These sneaker Youtube reviews are in actuality just commercials for the sneakers. They are a vector for selling product.

If you say nice things about said products, that furthers your chances of getting potentially free or discounted products from Nike, Adidas, New Balance or whomever.

Chris usually calls the shoe honestly. If there is a problem with his pair, he points it out. I trust him.

On the 2008 version it was painted black but the original was not painted. The 2014 and 2021 version have it correct.

 

[SoleByThePound]

God. It’s come to me making up every excuse to be positive here denial at its finest

Dudes will be opening their boxes, with bated breath.. Like they are waiting for a DNA test result or worse

 

[BigSparky1316]

I’m wondering if copping multiples and mix-and-matching/returning the bad pairs is the move here. Stores are gonna be flooded with returned, pink pairs lol

It definitely seems that the left shoes are much worse then the right.

 

[thapointguy]

Buy it and worry about it when it comes in. Will try for two pairs just in case.

 

[Quiggles706]

Help me understand what is completely different about the midsole? They are painted exactly the same as the original.

You quoted my edit...

 

[forest hills]

Didn't one of the posts in here say production numbers for these is like 400,000? The pink midsole issue is clearly an isolated issue because even if, for example, 5-10,000 pairs of these are Cam'ron personal pairs, that still leaves you with a ¹/⁸⁰ or a ¹/⁴⁰ chance at actually receiving a pair of em. If this is actually a widespread issue then yeah sound the alarm cause if it were like 100,000 Cam'rons then that leaves you with a ¹/⁴ chance at getting a botched pair. Not saying this justifies JB releasing all those pairs and telling those who get em to **** off, but the chances of ending up with a pair like that will likely be pretty slim

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Yeah there was no need for that

 

[pointdexter5]

One of the guys in my sneaker group posted the stockx screen shot, saying his plug told them these were going to be delayed. Not sure who his plug is, but people are freaking out about this apparently. I'm just going to hit all raffles/draws, expecting Ls, and will then see how it plays out with resell prices.
Not really worried about the "bleeding" as it doesn't look realistic.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

CAN’T WAIT FOR THESE!

 

[noblekane]

didnt the sport blue 6 have a bleeding problem on the tongue where the jumpman is? the white part on the tongue turned blue tint?

nike dont care

pink midsoles

blue tongues

mold in the shoes

buisiness as usual at nike headquarters

 

[tupac003]

I'm going for them. Will be online due to size 15's being damn near impossible in store anymore.

If the pairs are bad, I'll send em back and move on with life. Kinda all I can do.

 

[KingJamesTheFifth]

There’s just too many other kicks out there for me to even bother with these considering the question marks

Beat my sports blues for a few years before I chucked em
No bleeding just general yellowing
