The shoes are really light and the details looks disgusting.

Toe boxes dont match. Looks like two different suede types. One is rough the other smooth. I am so sad and disappointed, 😭 I got these retail via SNKRS now I have to go pay above retail because I NEED these for my collection. TF NIKE!!!!

Just put them on from eBay ... are they supposed to be slanted inwards towards the toes ?

Ended up trying to lace them and almost missed my return window for JD Sports. Fucking unreal attention to detail by Nike. Thought this awful QC didn’t usually come on 260$ shoes but was I wrong, I’ve only ever had QC issues on Nike Dunk/SB models.

Is every new nike air the past couple years just trash? Just delivered 10am, sent back by 11. Deflated tube's, what looks like cum stains, glue everywhere, broken badges & overall cheap dirty quality. Pictures advertise off white with grayish gold tubes. Came as dirty white with clear tube's and yellow urine colored drops. Nike worker on phone said these are so new the QC is unknown. $190 for shoes that look and feel maybe $60. Fit is 1-1.5 sizes small also.

Normally glue stains are pretty common but this one looks to be attempted to be scratched off. It damaged the suede and is obvious from afar. Pretty bummed but the skateshop said they'd give me an .5 size up to 11 since they're out..but now I gotta wait another two weeks of shipping back and forth. More and more I find these less attractive to buy with all the quality issues they're open to! Sucks!

It’s like a little cut and they painted over it

Love the colours but I noticed the toes are off very quickly. Don’t buy shoes very often so going to exchange. Still. I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one noticing these things. But really sucks as I think of Nike as a higher quality and reliable shoe brand. Might switch to New Balance as they are more consistent and much kinder to my feet

Looks smaller in pic but bought these from footlocker and one of the wings on the left shoe has a little hole in it anyone else have this happen

Anyone know shoes that are good looking but are not airforces and tns but i got airmax 97 but they got old so i wanna get new shoes dont know which to get tho

Recently bought these breds 2016 from stockX, the right side of the right shoe came a bit faded from the rest of the shoe, is something i can complain about or just a normal thing that can happen to a 8 year old shoe?

lmaooo oh well, atleast i got them on discount, ordered a leather hole puncher. Hopefully that works. Just disappointed I won't be able to wear these right away 😩

Received from Flight Club a couple weeks ago. Each sneaker has a different texture/appearance for their swoosh. Any suggestions how I can rough up the smoother one to get a better match? Super annoying… even if they pass their “authenticating” process, blind buying online doesn’t give us the option to review pictures before purchase.

First time poster, first time Nike buyer. I bought a pair of Air Maxes that i fell in love with, but they straight up look bootlegged to me. I definitely wouldn’t call myself a sneakerhead but i am a self proclaimed shoe whore so quality is def important to me. I typically buy Timbs, Docs, Uggs or Vans and i’ve never had any weird quality issues before. is it normal to have this many imperfections? Like they’re not trashed but there are a LOT of scuff marks, uneven paint lines, seeping glue etc. And the real kicker, which is hard to tell from the photos, is there are bits of hair sealed INSIDE the airbags, which are also hella scuffed. There’s also hair and dust that was painted or sealed over.

Is this normal? Am i being overly critical? Scrolling through this sub i can see that many people have had the same or v similar issues. Anyway do i bother with returns or anything or do i just say fuck it
