Banned 1's (2016) sole problem?

nate1665 · Feb 10, 2017

Hey guys, this is my first ever post on Niketalk, and I need some help. I was wearing my Banned 1's for the first time, and when I took them off, I noticed that the sole on the right shoe was crooked, and the shoe was not sitting flush on a flat surface like the left one was. I think it is because of my weird foot placement on the gas pedal when I drive, and this may have caused the sole to deform. Or maybe this is normal? Anyone else experience this? Please help my noob *** out... thanks

note the heel of the right shoe being raised compared to the left

hella distance from the sole to the surface on the pair on the right

I think it's fairly unlikely that it's a result of how you wore them considering how well the Jordan I sole flexes.

While I wouldn't quite call it normal, it isn't at all uncommon to bump into this. Just poor craftsmanship. One or two of my 2013 pairs had the same issue, but I don't know of any way to fix it though.

Gordonson that's weird though because this isn't the 1st time this has happened. This problem popped up on my pair of 2014 Black/white 1's, but it's not nearly as noticeable as it is on my banneds.
