Plus the white leather parts right next to the carmine red have no color bleeding on them as well. I agree its probably a paint on the midsole issue.Nobody knows yet. It’s all speculation at this point.
FWIW I’ve never seen color “bleed” without some sort of spatial gradient wrt the source. The fact that the heel color looks exactly the same as the medial side of the midsole (which touches the carmine) kinda suggests that the issue was with the paint and it’s not an issue with the carmine bleeding onto the white.
Maroons bleed on the sockliner, I can deal with a lil pink on the midsole
It could still be bleeding but it’s definitely not the carmine dye from the durabuck bleeding into the white paint. If anything it’s primer or some chemical on the midsole that’s bleeding through or reacting with the white paint. That or they simply used pink paint by mistake on some of the batches.Plus the white leather parts right next to the carmine red have no color bleeding on them as well.

I usually ride with night wing, but he wrong on this one. He should have atleast edited and acknowledged it in his video or something. Its clearly an issue.
See this is what I was telling everyone on Instagram too. I think it's either their primer or it is a carrier PU foam. It only took 3 light coats of paint to fix them so I dont think its bleeding either tbh.It could still be bleeding but it’s definitely not the carmine dye from the durabuck bleeding into the white paint.

We not talking about the same type of influencers. Guys like Mike rich isn’t sent **** from Nike, he has plugs. And pays resell Or orders from SNKRS like anyone else....and those folks are most likely sent "proper" pairs from Nike Inc., either directly or indirectly.
These sneaker Youtube reviews are in actuality just commercials for the sneakers. They are a vector for selling product.
If you say nice things about said products, that furthers your chances of getting potentially free or discounted products from Nike, Adidas, New Balance or whomever.
This is the most logical answer. But it’s more fun to go nuts with speculation and fake news it.Plus the white leather parts right next to the carmine red have no color bleeding on them as well. I agree its probably a paint on the midsole issue.
I’ve been thinking this for years, there is someone from JB in this thread.They stalkin’ Niketalk.
because he insinuated that pink pairs werent authentic.Why does he or should he HAVE to acknowledge it if his own 2 pairs have no issues? Misery loves company I guess.
lol its no secret people from nike have been viewing this board since its inception. how you think the flightposite 3 was created?I’ve been thinking this for years, there is someone from JB in this thread.
Thus my thinking because i was thinking about as well.lol its no secret people from nike have been viewing this board since its inception. how you think the flightposite 3 was created?
cant they just back door the pink pairs? theres clearly a market for them with that stockx warningMy FTL said they are 'supposed' to be sending them back but they don't know blah blah being mad obscure. Wouldn't tell me if a lot were pink or how many.
Tell ya what. I changed my mind. I'll try to still buy a pair next weekend on release date, because what do I care? (That is, if the release does in fact go ahead.) I/we either get a pair that's fine, or we don't. If bad, back they go the same day they're delivered. Thinking about it more today--and similar to what a few others have said--I'm not as convinced it's a bleeding issue as I was yesterday. I would think if it was, we'd see red coloration on some of the white parts of the upper.My FTL said they are 'supposed' to be sending them back but they don't know blah blah being mad obscure.

However, I'm still a concerned it's something that could eventually appear, as it did on those Penny 2 retros that didn't even have a hint of red in their colorway LOL. IF the release happens, and IF I get a pair (wasn't gonna pay resale for these no matter what), and IF I somehow get a pair with no pink, I will wear them every single day, all day, inside the house for a month (or is Nike still offering that 60-day return policy no matter what?) and see if the discoloration begins. Any hint of it, however slight, and they're gone.
Dude. I have no problem with you on here, but sometimes you're a bit of a hysteric. Many times you sound like you have some personal stake in the perceived quality of these retros, and if other people dare call Nike/JB on their nonsense, it's somehow outrageous. How many Nike shares do you own?“And they’re gone” huh? Lol Who are you trying to convince tho? NT Karen? And do you not walk in your house? You gonna wear for 30 days straight in the house? Really. That’s called unds’d, sir. Better hope you’re able to copp off Nike with all that wear testing you plan on doing. To me it just sounds like you’re copping, and that’s that. All the rest of that you said just sounds like you’re trying to justify your own hypocrisy. Don’t back peddle now. You was just on the whole pink revolt outrage wave just yesterday so keep that same energy as we rapidly approach RD.
Why do you think the 2019 Infrareds will dip in price?I think he said he wanted it to look more like the 2000 “Deep Infrared” shade.. I much prefer the 2019 OG Infrared color.
I’m just waiting on the 2019 retros to dip back a little in price, they shot up to near Concord resell value this year. Might grab a lightly used pair off eBay to do it to, if I do this conversion I plan on wearing em a bit!!
People bought bootleg looking XI’s with minimal patent for years and now they are going to scream bloody murder over a slight pink hue defect that’s mostly on the medial side.
I‘m still copping one pair. Gotta see the @MJO23DAN and @GrizzlyAnimal reviews tho.
This guy ...
Exactly. Sometimes it seems like some members here work for the JB PR team LOL
THIS FIN’ GUY...Tell ya what. I changed my mind. I'll try to still buy a pair next weekend on release date..
