I guess mistakes happen. Seriously though, what was Nike thinking? Has there been this level of horrible QC on such a highly anticipated AM90 release?Got the bacons in from a raffle and was happy until I saw this....really y'all?

This came from a sneaker boutique raffle. Not directly from nike. I think one of the store employees got bored from picking their nose and decided they wanted to draw.

The ink should come off. My OCD struggles with that stitching on the swoosh though.
For the ink, someone suggested cold water and a q-tip. I've also used a hairdryer before because the heat should activate/erase that factory ink. I don't know the science behind it, but it usually works.

Does anyone have a style code or drop date, so I can figure out what non-home address I’ll send these to?

Air Max Day kicks
My bank account despises you! Good day to you, Sir!
This pic was the clincher. I ended up scooping both these and the Ghost Green cw. And I never intended to purchase either too. This thread can be dangerous!
The plan for both
I already ordered the Ghost Green donor soles for the green cw. Now, I just need the Orange soles from the Retro+ cw before I send them out to GOVRN.

Consider it as a USDA stamp where the butcher is tagging your portion of the bacon from the hog.

I want to like these, but the window should really match the midsole wedge, or the baby blue on the rest, there's no reason for it to be the same as the rest of the mudguard and it bothers me that they didn't fix it.

Almost snagged another pair yesterday on the restock but seeing as how my size is under retail on goat/StockX, I figured there was no rush. Wore these for the last day of air max month

I would hunt down a pair locally. Or on eBay. Size 9.5+ on StockX is like $230 but with their insane fees you're paying almost $280. On eBay you can offer a seller $230 shipped and after taxes come away paying under $250

Me, being the slightly obsessive person I am (imagine someone into sneakers obsessing, right) I put together a mock-up of what I should expect on my NBYs. Can’t wait to have them in hand.
Top right. Lapis leather and ashen slate suede mudguard. Both materials are used on the NBY from Reddit on the left.
