So after many months, I'm sad to say that my black weave/smoke bottom futures are squeaking more than ever. No matter how much baby power I put it, they still squeak. So loudly now that they're embarrassing to wear. I still don't understand what's making them squeak; a broken zoom pocket? They don't feel deflated; they're actually very comfortable. I returned two other brand new pairs previously for the same problem. It's sad b/c it's a great work shoe when sneakers aren't appropriate, and probably the most comfortable shoe I own (among AMs, Trainers & Jordan retros).
I'm going to try injecting baby powder with a syringe into that hole under the insole. If that doesn't work, it's back to Nike using their warranty coverage (they said I have 2 years). This must be a manufacturing defect, at least for that colorway b/c having the same problem with 3 diff pairs across 3 diff retailers makes no sense otherwise. And it's an out-of-the-box problem that only worsens with time.
I'd like to try to lows, but want the weave upper, and a darker bottom. NO WHITE or translucent outsoles b/c they look like crap after one wear. If such a shoe doesn't launch, I'll be future-less....
