Not that big of a deal to me, but like @Piston Honda said at 225 you'd hope to get the best quality.

They look DECENT in the Top Pic. Bottom Pic prolly shows the True Story, though.
No way I'm copping anything close to a WHITE EM Mesh Sneaker.

The toe box on that will be grey after one use. Ok color but will get horrible looking after and handful of wears.
I'm just happy they're doing solid colorways and not have some garbage print on every shoe

Looks like the whole array of red stitching on the right shoe is shifted up 1/5 inch.

IMO it's annoying but who cares. really. especially if you'll ball in them.

Semi agree. I get that they'll get torn up anyway but for the price you'd expect the best product possible. It's like buying a shirt with one sleeve longer than the other and shrugging it off because it'll get messed up anyway

i think the lighting is making those EM low's look worse than they actually are.
i have 2 IDs with white EM and they've been worn more than 1 game (albeit, not NBA game, but still..) and they're not that bad.

But we are ALL well aware Nike's quality control is the same regardless of their product price. The same attention they spend on a $70 Roshe will be the same attention spent on a $225 Kobe. At what point do we stop saying "well I would hope the quality at this price..." y'all KNOW it doesn't make one bit of difference at all whatsoever. C'mon brohamskilift!

No arguing or complaining. Well aware of the quality of Nike shoe's just stating what others usually complain about. Personally I've never gotten a shoe from Nike with any major issues. Maybe a glue stain here or there but no worse than what I'm gonna do to them playing ball or wearing casually.

I would say that I've noticed that Nike's quality control has been bad lately not just in their shoes.

There are 3 different types of mesh on the EM lows. Medium mesh holes to small mesh holes to big mesh holes.

Wow, big damn deal TWO purples. If they dropped the only people to go wild over them are you guys.

Want what they can't have mentality. Before the 8's there were laker colors all over the place going in sale. As soon as they quit they're "fire" lol

Would cop. 10 times out of 10. No regrets.

OR, maybe it's the opposite.
Maybe you're just one of some people that's not wild about the Amnesties.
But who cares... that ship has sailed.
It's all about these 9s now.

THIS.
I'm not hating on them, they look pretty nice. I just don't get the hype. If they start doing plain color ways, people would complain, they go to on sale. They do wild colorways and designs, everyone complains there's no simple clean ones.
I was talking about those White/yellow 9's initially, just comparing the two. It seems like, knowing that Nike isn't going to do many plain white/black releases anymore, everyone drools over them. When those were the shoes that sat forever before.

I got ya.
I don't understand the affinity for the white/yellow/black Elites, or these lows for that matter...
Flyknit on the Elites are gonna be a dirt magnet, while the lows don't seem to be anything special to me from the 8s... especially for the $20 increase.
But there are just gonna be different "factions" who complain about different things. Funny how this colorway never caused any debates when it was used on the 6s...

Thats a pretty strong statement to say you would cop 10 times out of 10. In other words, if you could, you would get the pair 10 times. They're nothing too hot. I think some people just like the idea behind the "Amnesty" comment on Mark Cuban. And some people like them because they were one of the first solid color based mesh for the 8's and people were complaining that they weren't getting plain colorways anymore.
