Air Jordan XI CONCORD AFTERMATH thread. STILL NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[kicksaremylife]

Lol, I know, but that seems like a stretch to go thru to put a fake box with all that stuff together, I know it could happen but thats alota work then just to find a sucka lol.. But the glue and marks behind the toe boxes are normal on other pairs too? Haven't any or at least paid attention to anybodys complaints as far as that goes.. Appreciate the response too

i also emailed natterjacks about the 2 sz 10's i copped last wednesday and they replied and confirmed my order, i was told my shoes would ship out by wednesday of this week.

Better pic of the toe cap I'm talking about.. still doesnt show as much in person but you can see what I'm sayin about the black streaks behind it..not nit picking, just wondering if its normal..and carbon fiber plate

 

[WhatisLove]

^ Every pair that I have seen in person looks like that when you look at them closely.  I'm sure a ton (if not all) of the pairs that seem to have a solid toe cap in pictures have a few of those "black streaks" if you look close enough.

Your pair looks great, definitely don't think they were switched out.

You would know the clear toed pairs when you see them, haha.  They are pretty obvious.

 

[kicksaremylife]

Lol, thought so, but still had to ask others opinions.. havent been up on any close enough to notice lol.. Dont mind little flaws like that if its normal on legit pairs, just would if they were only tied to fakes.. guess it looks like I got a little lucky for $310 and local.. not too bad

 

[kicksaremylife]

Marqueesole.com legit or no?

 

[cdunk]

^^^^
All the stuff you showed with Eastbay packaging is right.  That's the stuff I got from them.

 

[kicksaremylife]

Ok.. coo, thanks

this is crap.  i first bought a pair from promoshoes thinking my pair was inferior to the ones that were being sold in stores.  so i went out of my way to get a pair bought at finishline. the box had the stamp, same production date, etc., etc. come to find out they are freaking identical to eachother. ive dealt with promoshoes before and the quality of their kicks are at the same level if not better than the ones sold in stores.......

 

[mj4ever2320]

shoes look legit bro.......you should have gone lower......i negotiated mine all the way to 230.

 

[futuredhughes]

That glue job on the toe of the left shoe is pretty bad, but I wouldn't rule out fake because of that.

 

[raichu098]

Is mentalkicks legit??????

I always buy the XI's early from promo-shoes in case I can't snag them on release date. Fortunately, I've been able to get a pair of each on release date. From the Space Jams to the Concords, each pair I've gotten from Dennis have been identical to the ones I've gotten from Nike, Footlocker, etc.

damn, u got a steal then. I realized I could of went lower once she was so quick to agree.. Should said at least $250 smh

 

[cashm0neyand1]

release was hit or miss no matter where or who you bought from. a flaw does not make the concords fake or b grade. Just embrace your kicks

My pair I got from NDC has more glue than that in places they shouldn't.  They look good to me.

Not me personally, but I've known people who do think so.
They still look pretty good bro.

Same here.

I don't care what defects they have, I'm just glad I have mine

the 23 is wider than the 23 on my cool greys and space jams, they have a loud glue smell that smells like a permanent marker, the box feels weird...definitely a different feel than my spacejams or cool greys boxes, and the jumpman on each shoe looks off. look at the head. the dates on the inside of the sneaker are from like july or so as well, iirc. don't feel like looking right now.
isn't there a number i could call to ask nike if these are legit based off of a serial number or something?

those are early release pairs aka workers stealing pairs  from the Y3 PLANT(actual nike plant which is ran by yue yuen) located in Gao Bu Town, Donguan, Guanddong province in CHINA..ask for jerry shum, air randys brother, http://www.yueyuen.com/contact.htm email or call him http://www.yueyuen.com/press_file/12M_Yue_Yuen_FY2011_ENG-3.pdf  how about we all email him and give him a piece of our mind since NIKE IS NOT DOING @#$%  about how pathetic they are producing shoes

 

[mattwhite2385]

lol how did u find this info out?

 

[kixxrus]

back when the cool grey, fire red, dtlr and flip 3s came out air randy first popped out into the scene(06/07).. in one of the emails he mentioned something about the y3 plant... he was very low key.. everyone and there mother copped from him early..... i was being sarcastic about the brother part.. everything is ran by the "mafia" out there..

 

[kicksaremylife]

Coo, thanks for the feedback yall
