[WAKKO!]

Birthday Shoe

 

[gothmog]

Be carefule balling in the Christmas, this is what happened to my nephews shoes after a few practice and high school games

thats ridiculous 

 

[tatmantall]

Wondered if that might happen

 

[315plus]

Did it rip from getting stepped on/caught on something or did it just start tearing from flexing in normal use? It shouldn't happen either way but if it's just normal wear and tear I'm taking it reeeally easy with my pair from here on out.

Smh. Thats unacceptable.

Right? Had a feeling something like this would happen with these, they were more of a gimmick than

He said, just playing did nothing specific. The ornament for the laces also cracked some pieces off when someone stepped on his foot at practice. Have a pic will post in a minute

Happy birthday @DuckDodgers.

Blackouts are clean.

I'd be happy if the skin ripped on mine, want to remove it anyway.

i mean, don't wear the lace locks. They're obviously not really meant to lock the laces, they're a cool little accessory. The skin tearing apart though.. that's completely bad. Got my SS stepped on while playing, nothing of that sort happened tho. Let's see with a few more wears.

 

[t4t3r]

Re-release of last years ASGs? Colors are the same...

 

[315plus]

Yea I get it, that's why I didn't get the Christmas for myself I buy shoes I can ball in and they did not look very comfortable to play in. But he is 14 and put them on as they came

It's plastic

I think it's corny and took it off.

I hung the lace lock on my rearview. It'll probably crack on a hot summer day

that sucks man.  2 options I would suggest to choose from, 

1. return them back to nike (prob get a gift card)

2. do the surgery and rock em without the swoosh (looks pretty dope imo)

Good luck.

could it be a restock of last years? i hope

 

[Kobekobe]

the original all stars had orange/yellow/turquoise didn't they?


wouldn't mind getting them this time around, but why the + version

To be fair...

Sucks about the shedding skin though, he should get a nike refund (http://help-us.nikeinc.com/app/claims/return-guidelines/), doubt they'd give you the same shoe but just refund the $$ or alternatively complain and get a coupon for next time. I like the SS but I use my kobes to ball in and wouldn't want any extra ornaments/weight. If someone gave me a pair I'd x-acto the skin off and go wild.

Would be cool if they restock the ASG 8's for the people that didn't get them.

I got lucky and grabbed them for retail from some German website a few weeks after they released,
