Review:
When I first got these two pairs of IDs in, I didn't know what to think. While the Treasure Blue and Challenge Red colors were very bright, just as I had hoped,
I was a little unsure about the mesh. What I mean is I had imagined that the mesh would be a different shade depending on the base color selected on ID and
this is obviously not the case. The mesh is a light color, almost white, on every pair of AM 2011 IDs that I've ordered thus far. The light mesh on top of darker
colors makes the colors underneath look lighter and dulled out. I'm not sure yet if I'm dissatisfied enough to return them or if I'll just take the hit and roll with
it.
The other thing you should note before making a pair of AM 2011 IDs is that whatever color you choose for the midsole, just above the air bubble, will be the
color of the foam in side of the bubble, thus changing the tent of the bubble slightly. For example, on the Treasure Blue pair above, I used a black midsole and
it ended up making the Volt air bubble look like a darker shade of Volt, closer to green than yellow. Whereas, on my black and volt pair that I purchased at the
Nike store, the midsole is white and makes the air bubble appear closer to yellow.
Just a few things to think about, but before I give a return serious thought, I'd like to know what y'all think. Rock or restock? I'm hesitant to return them because
of how long it took to get them in the first place. While I could go to the Nike Store and get my money refunded quickly, I don't really want to wait another two
months for more IDs.
Cliffs:
--Mesh is the same color on all AM 2011 IDs
--I was hoping the mesh would be closer to the base colors
--Midsole color determines the tint of the air bubble
--I'm thinking of returning them but would like some feedback please
