My gf said to immediately return the black upper black sole white swoosh and red kanji on the back I ordered for this combo. I'm just worried that the white fins on the side will get dirty and hard to clean.

Good move I say... I think these look super clean -- may end up with something almost identical myself.  Wonder when Brad Hall is going to make a vid on his iDs

Yeah these are a safe choice for me. I'm not young so pulling off colorways like the Achilles don't match me according to the ball and chain. I keep telling her it will match my Tampa bay bucs and Washington nats gear and caps but I got the thumbs down. Only black and white combos have been approved for me to buy. I want to like the white but its too grey to me. I'll probably end up with just one white upper and three black uppers to last me two years. I hope these got good traction at the Costco and casinos.

 I think you'll be good in the Casinos -- Costco could give you some trouble

I'm looking to get a black upper and black sole myself. Has there been any images of that?

When mine come in I'll post pics before sending them back as I've found other color combos I like more. I got an email saying they are finished but no shipping info yet.

Is that a white upper? It looks more grey than other pics of white uppers. How hard is it to have a white upper? All I like is white. White car, white gf, and white shoes.

I believe it's the white upper. The grey is darker I think. Don't think there's a wolf grey option

You're probably right. Sometimes the white does look whiter in other pics. Other white flyknit shoes look whiter too. I really think that nike is leaving money on the table by not having the white white enough for some people like me.

how hard is it for you and other people to look at the damn renderings and realize it's not going to be all white. this is the 100th time i saw a post like this.

it CLEARLY shows a mainly grey upper with a bit of white in the back. i don't know why nike calls it white but that's what it is, grey with a bit of white in the back. the rendering is a pretty good representation of the real life product (just how the fades look like crap on ID, they look like crap in real life too)

not only that, we actually had pics of the "white" upper with the sample NIKEID's. so i don't see how this is a surprise to anyone.

Well I got to play in my Ids tonight. Id say the full zoom is definately worth the extra in my opinion. I was surprised that I didn't think the ventilation was great though. Traction held up well surprisingly . Then I got Gould out in the fourth. And then my feet cooled down

White has become the limited edition, multicolor-like color way for Adidas. I think Swoosh knows it very well too. Also they can totally tell from the analytics behind Nike ID. It's all marketing strategy.

The PE Draymond got earlier is my fav colorway so far. I don't care hype of multicolor, just want to ball the last pair of Kobe with the color I want
