Picked up the White/Red 2s on RD, while the Nightshades came in a few days ago.
Nightshades look much better in person. Quality is like that of the Iron Purple 2s.
Unfortunately, the quality on the white/red 2s falls short. I'll explain with the pictures.
Shoe is constructed with that poor stiff plastic-like leather used not the 5s last year.
Picture was a shoe straight out to the box, and there was creases and uneven spots all around the shoe
Also, a lot of loose thread on the shoes. The nightshades (at least my pair) didn't have any loose thread.
I like the piping on the White/Red 2s though. Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread, but it's actually gradient (red to black to red)
With that said, these are going to crease like no other after wearing them, let alone trying them on. Needless to say the white/red 2s are going to be beaters
The Nightshades seem to have slightly more padding than the white/red 2s, but they both have a good amount of padding.
Also, for those that keep ask about sizing.
These fit true to size! I wear a size 9 in all Jordans and these are no exception. They feel better on feet because they're wide, so to all you with wide feet go pick up a pair. Went to the mall and some shoe stores and I still see the white/red 2s sitting in a lot of sizes.
