My pair scheduled to arrive tomorrow. No use in complaining, I already know what it is at this point.
I also agree on QC problems always being present. OG Taxi's had a design flaw, the OG had metal eyestays at the top, when you laced them all the way up with factory laces, the eyestays would strip outer threads of the laces leaving just the skinny thread in the middle. It irked the **** out of me when I laced them up to play basketball in them in gym class. I'm guessing that's why they switched it to plastic in retros (and also probably it's cheaper).
