BORDEAUX 7S JULY 18th 2015

[bbestsb]

Then you shouldn't really be complaining about leather when the OG mens or 2011 mens had no leather 

2011's were leather

HAHA well whatever material was used on the 2011, real or not, was of a nicer feel and quality than these 2015's.

Not looking for fights people, all personal preference. If you have 2011's and 2015's more power to you, I just feel I need to stick up for the 2011's here because a lot of people here are **** talking them, and likely don't own them. And lots of people here were happy with their 2011's, and passed on the 2015's.

but materials aside... the glue stains, and perf holes, are still brutal on the 2015's...

Must be a miracle, post a pic, I looked at over 20 pairs today that all had varying degrees of the same issues. Was it a GS pair?

The re-mastered thing is a gimmick.

Anyway, I used to actually hoop in Jordans back in the day and wear them day to day as well. The struggle was real. I wasn't getting new shoes every other weekend so I wore those suckers out.

Reading some of these comments, some of you seem really picky about the quality stuff. I understand you want it to be perfect since the prices keep going up but at the end of the day it's still a shoe that's going to get dirty, creased, etc. 

These shoes aren't really going to get much better in quality so you can either get it and accept the "minor" issues or just not buy it. Most shoes have small glue spots or little nicks here and there. I see the small bump in the toe box but if you actually wear the shoe and that's the only issue, you would be lucky.

I'm a person that actually wears my stuff so I don't keep it in a sealed bag in a dark spot in my closet without ever using it. Maybe I'm different. The way I see it though, you can't take this **** to the grave so you might as well get it out and get your wear out of it.

No GS, size 10. Went half a size down and they fit perfectly. Did the same for the Hares. I'll take some in a bit and figure out how to post pic. Just registered today so still figuring these things out here xD 

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

To me the hares were exactly true to dize. My older raptors and bordeaux run half size bigger in my opinion UT my feet are weird also. Left foot is slightly bigger than the right so I always have issues with fitting.

For me

1s are tts
2s runs small
3s are tts
4s run small
5s run big
6s run big
6s run big
8s run big
9s tts
10s ??
11s run big
12s run big but half size down are kinda too tight (if that makes sense)
13s run tight
14s ???

if 11s run big then you don't know your TTS

You can upload pics to photobucket.com, then post the IMG links from there. Maybe we just got a **** end of the run up here in Canada cause everything I looked at looked the same. Happy for you if yours were crisp though.

Am i trippin or are these still sittin at finish line? I order some this morning at release and got my confirmation email but i wouldnt mind ordering another pair or two.

THIS! the realest thing i've seen in this whole discussion!!!!

 

[cpf262]

So I ordered my pair at like 1230 on fnl and got a your order is offical email and my bank shows pending purchase...... am I good?

With how anal people are about the small glue spots it makes me wonder if they actually wear the shoe bc you can't really see that unless you're close up and inspecting the shoe.

Like I said, when you die, you can't take all of your mint pairs of Jordans with you.

Maybe I'm way off base here. I buy shoes to wear them. I don't buy them to keep them locked up in my closet. If you do that it's cool but I feel like you could pick apart anything. This **** isn't that serious.

I think all of the Jordan's are overpriced but if I like one of the retro releases I'll get it anyway...I just don't cop everything that comes out just because it's a Jordan. I mainly get the Jordans that I have memories of growing up and playing in.

Yeah for sure, and what you said about taking them to the grave... that's the way I've been looking at it a lot more lately, and started wearing my more rare and valuable pairs more often with less care, but just out the box I like them to look fresh and crisp for the price is all. I usually ignore the glue marks, but they just really stand out on this pair is all, like you can notice it when on feet. But you're right, in the end I'm just gonna wear them into the ground...

Yeah your pair is better than most I saw, minimal glue issues, but I still see some, and the smaller perf holes still aren't punched through proper, but yeah, definitely looks better than mine, and maybe all the in store pairs I looked at today...

Yeah I saw how bad your toe box came out to be 

 not good at all. I'm completely satisfied with my pair. If i had to make a complaint is that I wish my tongues had a big amount of Yellow on it 

 But I can live with the tongues I got.

Yeah it was hard to pick tongues in store, I was mostly looking for the least glue stains cause that was what really stood out, and I didn't want to look like too much of a knob making the guy grab me pairs over and over haha. I was just happy to have some with green on the tongues again since 2011 didn't get green.

Nah my pair came perfect, no glue stains whatsoever. Also look at the toe box on the OG from above and the 2015, it's closer than it was on the 2011's .

I bet MJ himself wasn't this picky about glue stains, pre creases and scuffs when they hand delivered his shoes
