Yeah I'm kinda bummed about the "wavy mesh" but I'll probably just wear them first. It seems like there is just a little extra mesh material or it wasn't pulled tight enough when they sewed it together. I have another pair on the way from the FNL restock so I'm waiting to see how those look before I wear either pair though. Ordering online is a risk but not I'm sure how you go about getting these sought after releases a lot of times without going this route.From my experience any IV with wavy mesh or a leaning tongue is just a sign of poor quality control.
I bought two '12 Fire Reds from two different FL, one pair had wavy mesh and a leaning tongue... Decided to wear that pair first. The left shoe's heel tab was about a half inch too tall and cut up the back of my leg after 6 hours of wearing them at work- and all I do is sit at a desk. So really it was only about 15 mind of walking total in them. Sent em to Nike they confirmed they were flawed and cut me a store credit.
Kind of scared to buy IV's online now because of that.
