Looks like there were mass produced and based on what dude said above, they are doubling down on foam orders if they lost the jordan supply.
I'll be honest, if I owned a pair of 2011 Royals, i would not have copped these...prolly why they are sitting.

Oh i meant REALLY?!? To the fact they had stealth foams.
When i worked at the athletes foot in tht mall it was such a joke.
Most the pwople that work there are tools and think they know everything

Got mine for $224 with tax and all. Good thing my birthday coupon arrived just on time. Now I'm going hit up Craigslist to sell my black grape 5's.

I think most people agree that Foams run a half size small, but my 12.5s fit perfect and my 13s feel pretty big near the toes.
Just go try them on and if you don't like them, don't get them.

Yea both my pairs had flaws. My foot locker pair felt like the carbon fiber was chipping an my kickusa pair had some scuffs.

that is bad news! Especially for a pair that expensive!
Nike probably has some QC problems in China and they are not the only ones over there! The situation is getting worse and worse!

Honestly I wear the same size in foams as I do in other Pennys, Jordans, Kobes, all the same size! I think my feet seem to special ;-)

Pick up my pair from house of hoops here in NJ.. Got home, took a closer look....these sh*ts are going back tomorrow. With the different stitching and dented/crooked bottom.. These are worst than B Grade. Not worth the loot.

I agree, for $230+ they SHOULD be flawless...but this is nothing new to foams, been having excess glue stains and issues since the OG Royal foams in 97...my phx suns foams had it really bad. I got it all off but it tool lots of elbow grease..come on sweatshop workers, get with the program!

The Concord release was like nothing I'd ever seen before (in person). That release completely turned me off from idea of showing up early and waiting it out.

Yeah they had plethora stealth foams. I even caught the Footaction restock back in January.

Got the last pair the morning after release date at HOH for $184.
You guys had me worried so I inspected them thoroughly and found no flaws,
Thanks for the heads up on the factory flaws, I will be inspecting them at the store now before I purchase.
For the price, they should be FLAWLESS

I can't believe Nike releasing these with flaws, so many people are complaining. Glad mines are good but with a price tag that high, all pairs should be perfect. No one should walk in and ask for their size and then examine and ask for another smh. Don't they do multiple inspections before shipping them out to retail shops? Smh @ Nike

Glue stains and mild scuffs I can tolerate. Just gotta take a lil hand sanitizer to em. Granted they shouldn't come like that, but whatever. But those soles are exactly what I fear when picking up a foam. They're noticeably uncomfortable when standing.

Potomac Mills Nike Outlet is GARBAGE! The last thing they had worth my attention was the Cough Drop foams and Penny 2 Atlantic Blue and a few air max 90's. I think they (employees) snatch everything before they have a chance to hit the shelves. I've known a few of those managers for years, so I wouldn't put it past them. Thank God for SneakerSteal.com

I held these up to my Suns foams and they have the same exact shine to them, same exact finish. So for all the dudes that are like "the suns gloss or shine is better" def the exact same.
Same story with mine, lots of flaws.
Brown stains on the laces and sock liner
View media item 482006
Weird blemishes and that foggy white soap stain looking residue that won't wipe off, bunch of spots on the upper.
View media item 482011
And the worst is this stain on the nubuck upper, u can see it clearly has a whitish tint where the foam or glue from the production ran out and got on the upper nubuck.
View media item 482016
I think that's what those smudges are, it's something to do with when they mold the foam it gets on the shoe somehow...
I'm pretty pissed but I'm gonna keep them, I might call Nike and see what they will offer, probably nothing... They'll just tell me to send them back, which I don't wanna do.... Idk. We'll see.

Does anyone have problems with the shoes not having enough arch support?
