Just treat em like they're one of a kind... where those things into the ground man... also, I ain't gonna hate on you for being picky about your shoes... I'm the same way... repped for expecting more for the money. $160 buys you a fine *** pair of dress shoes for real..
The ones I ordered yesterday around 6 eastern time were processing until around 2 pm today. Yes I got a shipping confirmation email and the order says complete on sheikh with tracking details.
I've had High OG 1s come in with this look to them, specifically the metallic blues... I sent those back and eventually copped another pair on discount that didn't have it. So, it is not "normal", but can happen with the 1s.
I would like to see a comparison of pairs with the coiled laces versus the normal type laces in same sizes and see which overall shoe quality is better.. just to see if a certain manufacturing point was making better quality pairs...
Keep calling. Try pressing 5 around the 10 minute mark and doing so every 10 minutes or so. Don't know if that works or not but that was my plan before I eventually got through. I was sent to VM the previous 5 times I got through. The 6th time I placed an order.
I got through 6 times total the first 4 times I pressed 5 every time and eventually got sent to voicemail around 10-12 minutes. The 5th time I did not press 5 and got sent to VM around 10 minutes. The 6th time I was going to spread pressing 5 out with the first one being about the 10 minute...
