You have a good positive outlook on this. I'm trying to not let it bother me as well, but I'm super OCD, I know I'm gonna look down all the time and be bothered haha. Did you try contacting Nike about a replacement, or did you go straight to feet? I might call and see if theirs anything they can do, but I'm guessing they don't have a back up stock of these to ship out for cosmetic flaws. Would hate to ship them out and get nothing in return :/

Straight to feet. Nike's not going to help you with anything, ever.


I'm super OCD too, but this release was so ridiculous that I know that my one pair is all I've got. And it's good enough.
 
With the prices of the Chi's going to where they are, what's the probability I'd be able to trade my pair for an og pair from 85?

A used pair of course. Or would I be better off selling my pair and purchasing an 85 pair outright.

why would you want a used pair from 85? these not good enough for you. these is the best jordan has done in a long time.

That's not true at all. Jordan Brand does a billion a year, and sells more basketball shoes than Nike, Adidas, Reebok. Yet retros account for the majority of it. The BRed XI release alone was a $90MM release (which still didn't meet demand). That fusion article hits the nail on the head. There's a $1B eBay market for shoes that are 96% Nike. And the reason there's a secondary market that big is because Nike has no interest meeting demand. Once you are supplying enough to meet demand, growth becomes harder, marketing has to be done, etc. They don't want to make enough shoes and this isn't going to change. The bots are just a byproduct of their strategy, one they have to occasionally look tough against, while never taking remotely thorough measures to combat. Bot usage means demand is still high (maybe even growing) and it guarantees sellouts and none of their inventory in their own stores and warehouses, nor the stores of their closest business partners.

I think it's just hard for a lot of NT to come to grips with reality. Nike is too big to care, and we're all just cogs that keep their machine rolling. For every one dude who bails on Nike, there's 99 more to take their place in line (probably more like 99,000 but you get my point).

Love reading this thread

Feel bad for people who put their money on Pre-Order only to get refunded!

I would be mad as well!

This, especially when the 85's have chipping along the collar and while the others don't have that problem.

It's not so much I don't like these. These are the first Jordans I've bought brand new in a LONG time.

I somewhat came out of 'retirement' from sneakers for these. I don't wear or care for sneakers like I used to.

It's just something about having the OG that appeals to me if anything. History, prestige? I don't know.

Hopefully other people feel the same way you guys do so maybe they'd be willing to trade with me :lol
