Cool about to pull the trigger on some sbb. Seller told me he bought it that way (missing paint by the letter A). Everything else seems legit R and D touch. Was just iffy about it because I couldn't find anything on google and all my ones aren't missing paint on the logo like that. Paying 550$ for a size 12. Repped.

All the guys with the glitter showing up where are y'all from? Maybe it's a weather related issue or how y'all storing them... I got multiple pairs of Breds, top 3's, black toes , royals , cyber mondays, and yin yangs none of them have glitter..... but I do store mine in the og box, in a cool room with the lights off... I also keep my kicks in the shipping boxes maybe that helps 
.... but let's try to narrow down the issue... also all of mine are deadstock... I'd like to try and root out the different variables maybe we can all figure this out

most people keep their shoes in the closet
the room has ac but the closet doesn't (in most cases)
I just keep my closet door open or cracked open

please be these and not the 2013 pair. if it was patent leather i rather it be the 2001 black/gold color blocking. black midsole.
I wouldnt even be mad if JB threw us a curve ball and gave us these gems instead. Patent leather joints are cool but a bit too flashy for my taste

From Wisconsin,
It's only hot here like 2-3 months a year.... I keep my kicks in OG box in a well ventilated room.
Happened to 3 of my pairs.... 2 of which are under a year old smh....
Took paper outta my bred boxs at least a month and some change ago and it still happened.
Anyways I copped he lotion yesterday and I'm moving on. Niketalk ain't what it use to be tho. Glad BabyJs at was around to be a voice of reason.

I customized a pair of clovers into these but the leather sucks. Would be nice to have a remastered pair

Jordan brand planning for a huge all star break if that's legit, black cement 3's with NA and these will top whatever adidas has planned.

Feel like last few ASGs there's been early teases of classic OGs (BW '16 and Gym Reds '17) ... only for ish to shake out dif. If these are still on the calendar come the Jordan holiday press then it's time to open the war chest [emoji]128518[/emoji]

Sneaker collecting might be mainstream but I definitely wouldn't go as far as to say that it is socially acceptable. Go to any sneaker convention and you will see a vast sea of socially awkward kids and weird old dudes trying to "flex" their "heat", it's actually pretty sad and pathetic. I know the echo chambers of NT and social media/Sneaker YouTube would lead you to believe most people in their teens/20s/early 30s collect sneakers to various degrees but it is still a relatively niche market, even with $1 billion in sales. Also, the vast majority of sneakerheads are males-and that doesn't really seem to be changing.
Also, let's be real, stamp collecting has never been socially acceptable.

"Mainstream" by definition is "Socially Acceptable"

Mainstream basically means everybody in some form knows about it
Socially acceptable have more to do with trying to fit in by not being different

the sneaker cons were super goofy back in the day but they're way larger now with a wider audience
it's still not my thing but it's like a show now
