Few of us got them, look above. Doesnt mean anything. Few days later tracking doesnt work. No history of number. Pulling a AR move

^^^ Did yu try EMS.com last year my tracking number worked on there.

Yea not working either. It shouldnt take this long. The last order tracking worked immediately

Now this is interesting, I just spoke with a guy who got his pair AR and they have clear toe, yet this person has an opaque one. I honestly don't think either is fake, more like there are early production in the run which might explain the difference. If you guys check there are people who have both clear toe cap and opaque with their cool greys that were purchased via a jb account .

I didn't get the CG's ... But my SJ's and BReds don't have milky toes (bought on RD) so I'm really not pressed on that particular detail. I ordered from AR as well - so I'm looking forward to seeing what condition this package arrives in, lol.

even when we get "official" pics you almost want to see pics form an ebay seller or a usual seller on here to make you best judgement

 

[broomall4life]

those facebook pics look great. i'll be happy as a mutha if my pairs from sds look like this.

 

[jecca650]

Man I hope getting a tracking number doesn't mean they shipped out my order. I've been asking for a refund all week and i'm not closing my paypal claim until I get my money back.

 

[teamfreshh]

Looks like everyone should be getting their kicks this week, time too investigate

i know yall might jump on me for taking it to this level, perhaps deservedly so...but is there a moral element to this issue?

SDS and AR, in one way or another, are supporting "grey" shoes. set aside the questions about customer service and changing dates and shipping info--is their business model of selling shoes from overseas locations to US customers which were not officially produced (even if they use official materials from an official factory) sustainable, and do you want to support it? we all know Nike hasn't always been a beacon for just business practices, but they've made efforts to improve. i own some stock in nike, and it makes me uncomfortable to think that products from within the company are being sold in this way. where could these "superfakes" lead? is it good for the brand of the company? how will nike respond? (or how are they responding now, in ways which we're not aware?) how will these problems affect future Jordan Brand releases? who benefits besides AR and SDS? in the short term, some of us will get early releases, some of which might be mostly authentic, but in the long term won't we as investors and shoeheads be hurt by a cheapened product, a tarnished brand, and an unsure market place?

 

[carefreejr]

Damn what happened here

I'll wait for NT'ers pics.

I understand your points, that these grey market pairs are not officially legal, but the bottom line is Nike itself doesnt care and isnt doing/cant do anything about it. If they dont care why should we?

cuts are way off. Jordan is touching the 23 pad on the left shoe. not lining up on the right and why does it look like AR walked on them..them backs are all squished.

 

[jecca650]

wow smh those look horrible.

 

[amiina]

If those with the crooked 23 are from AR, remember he posted on his facebook if you feel your shoes are b grades or not to par, he would refund your money no questions asked. So far from the early pairs we have been seeing, most are coming from AR camp and they look pretty good...still can't explain why so?e have completely clear toe and some have opaque and they both coming from AR.

 

[coldcity]

& stop me if im reaching but if both clear & cloudy toes came from randy maybe he is sprinkling in real pairs with his fakes because one of those boxes have a gloss to them & one is flat with no gloss

 

[teamfreshh]

Yeah those Concords from AR look like absolute crapp

 

[Bert.]

AR sending out C-grades, those look terrible

 

[sickickz23]

Wow....enjoy your early pre released concords........I have np waiting until the actual RD...

Besides what's the point of copping kicks b4 the RD other than to "break necks" and the "haha I have em before u do! I'm cooler than u" mentality? Is that really buying what u like? Sounds more like buying into the hype to me...

the pl cut 

Yeah, the pl cut is extremely terrible lowOn these. I wonder why the midsoleshave so much crease at the back.none of my 2000/2001 retros have thatAt the rear despite being rockedMany many times. Also my 2011 lowsDoes not crease like that too.These could really be b grades.The left jumpman look also terrible.
