    Yeah, they sort of make the shoe "pop". You can't really see the grey sole but you get the idea:

    That's exactly how they should've released. I was looking for that Air-Randy pic.

    it's alright, you just have to work that much harder after rubbing it in. I still say my three acquisitions today trump the xx3's, no Ron? Notto say we don't need to track down another pair...

    i heart the white soles far more than the grey. much cleaner and crisper look imo.

    BUT go for one half hour walk outside, like i just did, and they aint so white no moe

    Good call, you got me, but um as the pages will show I slowly alter my mind on these as I learned more. No matter what I was always going to get theshoe, but once again good call some of these cats were really saying this shoe was a piece of [email protected].

    Yo did anybody catch the CNBC report on the 23's they showed the white and red color. It looked nice.

    I'm glad most of y'all can admit your change of hearts. This wasn't about calling people out to make fun of them. Like I mentioned before, I didthis to show how every year it's the same story. Jordans are NEVER liked by EVERYBODY from the start. They all took time. Most people had to have the shoesgrow on them before they even considered coppin.

    I would take that bubbled shoe to a NikeTown.... they would exchange it for a stealth if you don't want to keep them. If you sent them to Nike,they would send you whatever colorway is on hand or releasing next... Only problem could be purchasing from a non-authorized reseller?? If some of thesesites are selling b-grades or just source pairs 2nd hand or back-door style, Nike might not offer any support... Every pair I ever returned to Nike with anissue was replaced by the newest shoe in an upcoming or recent release color-way

    I got mine on lock. at first I wanted the black ones. But after seeing them in person, I like the white ones better. But what is that thing on the back of theshoe?

    Also, am i the only one disappointed that these didn't come with the wooden shoe trees like the titanium's? I wish they came with them.Oh well. Stillcopping regardless.

    The XX3's shouldn't have all of those minor issues like eltouha's pictures suggest. Yeah, they're not that big of a deal but when you'repayin $185 plus tax for a shoe that was so widely acclaimed and anticipated those types of things shouldn't be happening...especially for a 1st of it'skind enviromentally safe hand-stitched shoe. Just my thoughts~

    What up fam? 2nd post here... but been an avid reader of this here forum for a minute... Went to the local mall to get the wifey's V-Day gift and strolledinto FNL to see what's new. They had a sample of each XX3 displayed, so i was able to check them both out. I must say the quality on both shoes isdefinitely impressive, with the stitching taking the cake. I had personally been eying the stealths as a personal cop, but all-stars hooked me. Cool thing wasthat i was able to reserve them for Saturday cop. I most def will get the stealths, but you need to get these babies in your hands to truly appreciate thebeauty...

    i'm with the guy who posted they run a tad big. i usually wear an 11, but a 10.5 fit me perfectly. i guess if you want to be safe get your regularsize...but i got a half size down because they fit like a glove.

    Final Product Picture
    ( I really like how the finished product did away with the black strings and grey bottoms.....Also as someoneelse pointed out in this XX3 post the m's on the side of the shoe are thinner on the final product......Looks more elegant NOW )
