Ok, you do have a point about people acting like it is a surprise that they can get a beat up shoe box from Eastbay. At least some of us that is on this forum or ordered from Eastbay in the past should know that they are infamous for sending sneakers in a plastic bag unless you buy something extra or if it is a pair of Jordans from which I heard. I never actually purchased from Eastbay, but I attempted twice for the Air Jordan 3 DB and Air Jordan 7 Year of the Rabbit and failed both times. But, as I stated in my previous post, it is still uncalled for and UNACCEPTABLE, and I do not care how much the sneaker cost. This is BAD business. If that is the case, indicate on the plastic bag they ship it in and label it FRAGILE so that the Post Office has to be responsible for handling the package.
I don't agree with the plastic bag shipping either but it has been Eastbay's standard for shipping for some time I believe. Remember ordering shoes and cleats in grade school(mid 90s) and always getting the plastic bag and wondering how they sealed in. The bag was also a definite sign that new shoes have arrived. That being 15 years ago and they still ship lone shoe orders via the bag. They use to ship USPS back in the day and I never got a destroyed box like these pictures are showing in all my orders through out the years. I can only wonder what the ##@* UPS is doing with these boxes or the Cyberdyne style machines handling all the parcels just too much for the bags. I would NEVER rely on Eastbay for a new release either with their joke timer system. But other than that they are a great company with excellent customer service. LONG LIVE THE BAG

copped my pair today and on the display in the front of the store there was a pair laced with pink laces....
i live in baltimore so i didnt think people were gonna gravitate towards that. but once i was in line to cop there were two old heads (about 42 & 33) that were askin for the pink laces. i couldnt help but think... "wow, these old clowns are really just fallin in line with this foolishness?"
we all know the pink is wack as hell (as well as those teal ones posted) so thats not what this post is about, but what i wanna know is....
who or what forum was the 1rst to come up with the idea to put pink laces in these? whichever idiot INITIALLY compared these to the south beaches is to blame for the recent wave of wackness....

i couldn't do the electric green, but these are straight
for me. Not sure why everyone feels the need to match SO MUCH. these work fine with anything black or white. Its summer but you don't have to be retro blue'd out for these to work. Well done on the colorway though IMO. South Beach Brons have a much more feminine/pinkish feel to them than these do.

one of the reasons besides the crazyness now of foam releasesOriginally Posted by sneakerst
These new Nike boxes are a travesty. Dealing with them day in and day out has gotten really annoying. They just dont stack the same, and break when you try to pull the box out... so annoying...
I wonder if Eastbay has automated packaging... kinda like what you see on those food network shows of them packaging up bags of chips... this would save them some $ which is prolly why they dont double box in the first place. If you think about how many shoes/packages they ship day in day out, the cost of boxes would be huge.
The boxes we use don't come cheap, but as we are sneaker guys ourselves, we try to approach things from a consumers point of view. Most def wouldnt want a foamposite shoe come in a plastic bag...
that i will be ordering the pine foams from sneaker street either at the end of August or the start of September
sneaker st uses quality boxes and ships super quick
thanks again sneaker st for the "south beach foams"
although i wish the price is closer to retail or at retail as past foam releases
I was still a happy customer ordering from you
this was my first order from you guys and your one of the best "mom and pop" websites i have ordered from
will do business with you again in the future

I've kept mine in my closet since i bought them on release day, took them out again today and damn it hit me hard how great they look compared to pictures.
I'm trying to keep them DS for a while but they're too nice. I'm sad that my real size was sold out at the store i bought them, had to go a half size up but i'm glad i got them on discount regardless.
NY heads, dude said HOH on 34th only restocked 30 pairs, the FTL i went to in Socal only got 20 pairs initially
