Can you not see thru the 72's plastic parts to see the tumbled leather underneath of it?

Good pointI like sthebest picture..but gil23 bro..u can't tell me you see a lot of detail in the sneaker from that distance. Its basic black from the tongue to the toebox..with no breakup until the milky sole. The toebox has a lil shine to it, but its just covered by clear plastic. Tumbled leather makes the toebox rounder and fuller compared to OGs. Spacejam has same colorblocking..but u dont have to look that hard to see that the black mesh upper and black patent on spacejams create TWO different shades of black..it makes the patent pop because its shinier and different from the upper..its quite unique. While 72s only have ONE shade of black throughout. Spacejams toebox n patent around it looks totally different than the mesh upper,and breaks up the sneaker nicely. Also the mesh doesn't roid up the toebox..or upper..just looks less bulky.it's more flat n overall more sleek..its NOT cuz its OG..It's how it was designed.View media item 1833194View media item 1833195
I'm truly amazed at some of the "flaws" people have posted.
Like I've said in this thread, my 23 was slightly off on the back left shoe and there was some small unnoticeable glue spots on the patent leather but other than that I thought mine looked great.
I keep seeing these pictures that people are posting and they're "pointing" out the spot the show has a flaw and I still can't really see it. I then grab my shoes and they look exactly like the pairs people keep posting here.
The only real "flaw" I saw so far in her was that huge scratch in the toe box. That is definitely something I would be pissed about.
These are still shoes at the end of the day. They'll get way more "flaws" if you actually wear them....I'm starting to think a lot people pay $240 for Jordans and then they just put the box in their closet and protect it without getting use out of it. Don't shoes yellow and soles separate after time? You might as well wear that ****.
I'm with you. I hope so too lolThey are going to restock these I just have to be patient. I want another pair and I rarely buy 2 kicks.
NT doesn't seem to get that so leave it be. NT is going to be beating a dead horse when it comes to QC for years to come. It is what it is and if you don't like stop F'n buying.Soles shouldn't be yellowing if they are supposed to be new. That's wrong; but flaws here and there are no big deal. No shoe is perfect, and besides, they will develop flaws when worn. It's a shoe, man.

Rope Lace supplyI sorta wish they had turned out more like this rendering then what we actually got. I like the hits of red on rear stiching and tongue label. Surprised they didn't go all on and out 72 on one achilles and 10 on opposite achilles.
Any place to get red rope laces? Though lace swapping on XI's may be heresy...
I'd just try calling around. But damn 16 posts In almost 10 years?! :xI know some stores still have pairs & restocks been having periodically the past few days. Does anyone in the NYC area know of specific stores that may have a sz 9.5 in stock? Looking to get a last minute xmas gift so in-store pickup definitely preferred.
These do look better in person than in pictures, I'm not the biggest fan of the textured look on the patent leather but besides that they look way better than expected.
