I still haven't worn mine yet. They are sooo clean. I will wait to break em out in summer of 2013... Hopefully they stay icey!!!!
I will break mine out tomorrow actually. I can just tell these wont hold up long. These fit a whole size big on my narrow feet and I went through a lot to get a size trade since I bought em a half size down. Now i got my size and I am rocking em.

dont feel bad about the infrared pack. the 7 year old that painted my shoes didnt stay within the lines. glad i copped, but once i got home i was so angry at the quality.
you should be mad about the oreos tho. i love that shoe so much, such an under rated retro. the quality was/is amazing on them. ive been looking for a second pair and they are hard to find for unfrt 250

I wear tigh shoes so creases form slowly enough to not bother me. I will agree that the VIs do shape to your feet well. Which is why i got mad that i skipped some VIs but not all.

I don't know what's a worse lace swap.
^ those gold laces in the Olympic 6, or the guy who put red laces in the Olympic 7s.

^Gold laces on the Olympic 6's is worst. Heck even gold laces on the GMP 6's look bad imo lol.
At least there is red on the 7's so it makes sense to match it with the laces but still not a good look imo.
There is no gold on the Olympic 6's so it seemed random to me lol.

I swapped mine for oval laces with silver Jordan tips (from the black forest 14s) and it looked good, but I ended up putting the original flat lace back on. Lace swaps just don't work with me.

You can tell the different shape of the 6 from and view point (except the back
) The toe cap is raised instead of a straight up slope. I can tell wearing them and seeing them n other people's feet.

I do.
Even if no one does, it is presentation. Present your $160 product nicely.

Wear a pair of oly 6s then some of the 6s with the regular shape. You can tell the difference.
If not you're hella blind.

I cant believe people are arguing this. There is a clear difference, even on feet. I can always tell with the VIs.

Why bother? You will just go out of your way to say it isnt there. Basic NT for you. I remember when I uploaded a pic of the Fire Red IVs I exchanged for a different pair and everyone was saying my pair wasnt bad, despite clearly having precreases and a midsole with a trillion dents.
The shape only really bothers me from the outside. looking at the inside isnt bad (as in the left part of the right shoe and right part of the left shoe). From the outside this is an ugly shoe compared to how it used to be shaped.
The pics I already uploaded say enough.

Also I forgot to say I regret passing on the Carmines too. But like I said I can never afford packs. I am not rich enough to just throw away a pair of XVIIs

This.
I thought that shoe was fire from the first pics that dropped way prior to RD.
Mad heads were hating on'em, wanted the speckle to be all black instead, callin'em fake Carmines. lmao.
That shoe is dope, to me, period. Deff. glad I copped those. I wear those more than any of my VI's ATM.

I'm with Magic.
Like, you look that closely... like at random people walking down the street?
Sure, you can tell the difference in shape, etc. from pics and aficionados like us will care about these things when we study the shoes, but in practice I'm not sure it's a big deal. And I'm a stickler for shape, materials, etc. It's the reason I pass on the majority of today's releases.
But, all I know is that if you keep eyeballing cats close enough to gauge the toecap of their shoes as they walking down the street, you're gonna find yourself in a confrontation one of these days.
