nice i just might buy them
Since I traded an eBay seller for these, I have very few options. I called NIke and they said that they can't do anything for me since it was an eBay transaction. My eBay trader didn't want to hear about it, not that I blame him. I sent Nike these photos, haven't heard back but I hope they make it right. The cracks are small, so if I must, I will just live with it. Guaranteed to be my last pair of foam-BS anything, ESP at reseller's $150+ retail haha. Nope.I'm hoping that's just an issue with that pair of lows and not others.
so basically, these AF-1s are ugly?
Supposed to be completely foamposite. I am trying to, but I traded an eBay seller, and he doesn't want to hear it. I wrote Nike about the defect, no reply yet, but when I called, the girl told me that since it was an eBay transaction there was nothing she could do for me. May be SOOL on these, but I can live with it I must; the cracks are small, I really like look of the shoe, and they have to serve as my only foamposite fix for the moment. Long story, but the wife hates the look of any other foamposite shoe i have shown her, and I am willing to acquiesce, since she makes sacrifices for me as well (although I haven't given up the fight just yet). She may actually be right though, if this foam stuff is gonna be this weak (I haven't told her about this incident of course). So we all will see, as I will post how Nike deals with this unfortunate occurrence.Yeah B, they are ugly. That said, I think you need to get your money back regarding the defect - is the material Foamposite or Hyperfuse? It looks ridiculously thin in your photo and it seems like there's mesh behind the 'plastic/foam'.
Me too! Worst case RETURN^
Really interested to see how those turn out.
damn those joints , i think it's safe to say best quality of nike shoes are AF1 never gets old even after years they still holding upGlad you buy what you like - ain't nothing wrong with that. But, here's a little hint - you probably shouldn't be talking about what a "true sneakerhead" should or should not do. At the age of 18, you probably aren't a "true" anything yet. A lot of the AF1 heads are older dudes. Happy to have you in the fold though, if your passion is genuine. Here are some pics of Forces older than you
Yeah. I agree. That's exactly the problem. A handful of releases you can anticipate that there will be considerable interest (Supremes, Year of the ANYTHINGS) but beyond that, it's pretty subjective.
I think they did a pair of white on white highs with gum bottoms in like 2009. Could have been '08 or '10 though.
That's the diplomatic way of saying it.
very cool!!Looking forward to my NIKE ID AF1's coming in 2 weeks! Couldn't help it and got 3 pairs when they release their elephant print material....too bad they didn't offer up leather uppers... Been wanting to do the Supreme color ways and one of my own. I'll take pictures of them when they come in. If they turn out bad, return they go
these are what I traded for the foams. I have a pair of the camos that I wear so i figured I would trade the black/white for the pariah all black foams above, since I could use all black for work. but then they had to go and crack on me, of course. sucks, but given how the camos are currently wearing, I saw a rough future for the ones below, and I just couldn't bring myself to wear them. just ranting at this point...
I pretty sure they wont release but I really wish they would.Any word on those Sheeds ever releasing?
Possible if they win the finalsI pretty sure they wont release but I really wish they would.Any word on those Sheeds ever releasing?
so this is what NIke has to say about the issue:Honestly bro, I think you lost out on the trade. Those Black Vac-Tech (Crap-Tech) 'Foams' are pure trash and and you would've got them at an outlet for cheaper in due time. I've seen Vac-Tech product in our stores and it's not durable at all - the suede/nubuck joints actually start to smooth out where the Vac-Tech 'seams' are pressed in and the firmer materials are just too rigid hence you see them cracking like your pair.
Can you look at the production date on the pair that's cracking? I believe you have a year from that date to claim a warranty. Call the rep again and say that you bought it at a store but don't have the receipt and it's well over the store return date. I'm not sure what the policy for Nike USA is but in Canada you send the kicks in, a QC rep looks at the shoe and examines the defect and determines if you're eligible for a voucher. If the shoe is heavily worn, not used for it's intended purpose or intentionally damaged they'll return it back to you but your pair looks like a straight defect.
Ur initial mistake is letting them know u got them from eBay. Always be like u got it at a Nike store or town and don't have the receipt anymoreUpon a further plea, I receive:
Thanks for your reply. However, because eBay is not an authorized Nike dealer I am unable to assist any further. Our warehouse inspectors will only inspects shoes that meet our terms and conditions.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
