Glad I ordered 2 pair. I'm not one to complain about glue marks or defects but one shoe on each pair was terrible. Will be swapping and sending a pair back.

My 2 pairs from Nike came in today.
Had planned to mix and match against the pair from FNL to get the best looking set.
The pair from FNL looked the best out the box for both shoes. The pairs from Nike had weird pencil graphite looking marks on the suede and glue stains at midsole. The medial panels were cut so as to almost touch the midsole at the heel.
Edit: tried on pair I'm keeping and walked around in my house a little bit. These shoes are loud! Like the leather itself. Any suggestions on remedy?

Saw this again today, caption: "What Nike Outlets looked like in 1997."
I'll take it all day long... more for me! After getting these in hand today, I'm super tempted to use my second 20% off code or my FTL $20 coupons and double up.
I'm second guessing it now - last suede shoes I sprayed with repellant spray darkened like two shades. I might isolate a small spot on the back of the shoe and see what happens. These are just way too clean to screw up. Jason Markk is a quality product though, I'm gonna check out YouTube reviews and see.

Those black/burnt orange boxes look so much better than the obnoxious bright orange we get now from Nike on their main products.
MJ face box is still tops.

Just got my pair today. Not happy. Not sad. Would get them on discount. Glad I did. Let me explain.
Opening up that silver box brought a smile to my face. The leather material is nice, looks good. The feel of the shoe is nice.
The suede midsole where it connects to the upper looks like a different shade of red than the upper suede material. Glue marks and seperation on my pair between these two areas make them look iffy and also darkens the red on the part where the glue touches the suede.
The suede texture and the dye color just aren't right
. And getting that suede quality and color right is CRUCIAL for any XIII's. A dark black for the HGG's, a bright red for these and the breds, the right grey for the flints, etc.
Hard to explain. Only suede that came close to the finish of the OG XIII's to me where the Jordan XXI Red Suedes.
Its just not vibrant. Its dull. . Hologram seems off too, but I won't get too picky . Red suede looks and feels cheap, thats all.
But, its a dope shoe none the less. The colorway is classic and I'm going to be using them for basketball anyway. Lets see how I feel about them on the court. If they all around suck for me, theyre going back

Not that it matters what my opinion is. They look great in that pic. What you think matters most I know. As far as playing in them, I ran around a basketball court a few days ago in the black cats tryin to act like I was 20 again and the last thing I thought about was my feet. Felt great, light as h---.Just got my pair today. Not happy. Not sad. Would get them on discount. Glad I did. Let me explain.

They look good to me! I know I'm OD crazy about my shoes - so to each their own, and I know pics don't always tell the truth. If you're hooping in them anyway, then they will get beat to death regardless.
You're welcome! Glad NT fam can use them...

What's wrong with them?

Most retro's do this - honestly. Don't be alarmed by it.
If you don't have glue stains, scuffs, pre-creases, bleeding, bad cuts - consider urself lucky.
My pair is pretty much the same, when looked at side by side - one defiantly sits different than the other as far to notice a height difference. This happens with 1's, 5's, 6's, 12's - the list can go on.
