I actually passed on a pair of GY2s in a NB store for that same issue. One shoe was ok, other was exactly as you described with the plump toe, wrinkles, assymetry, etc. last pair in my size but it was too annoying to look down and see that glaring difference so I passed. Others have complained about the same exact problem with those. It's like they rushed them out of the factory or something.
I'd try to return/exchange them for another pair if you really had your heart set on that colorway, otherwise I'd get a refund and just get a different pair of 997s down the line. 997 is a great shoe, it's just the GY2s came out bad for some reason.
I think its gonna have to be a return but the store in question is sold out looking down and seeing the difference is really bothering me, its a shame because i do love a nice pair of grey sneaks and the price was right going to be salty if i cannot find a good pair on the low.
