@brooklynswag I guess if I had absolutely no other 11's at all MAYBE I would consider these. They just look like a version of the comfort viz series.

@iTweet_Jets @SeanMostAnticipated straight up. These would be heat with black patent leather. The white on last years 11 lows turns a cream color with time I can only imagine these after being worn for a month. #Disappointed

@Chris101 sit the shoes next to each other and compair direct height, do they look even? The patant leather on the back does the positioning on the back match exactly one shoe to another? How does the 23 on back look? Very eligible or like lines making a 23? Does the carbon fiber on bottom sound n feel like plastic when you tap it? Compair to the weight of a similar shoe same size that you for sure. Look at stitching, on the edge is the distance between the edge of the patant leather and the very edge of the leather even all the way around? And last and but not least is the logo on the tongue between the 3rd space on the laces or all high and nasty lookin?

@herchanks I think the red ones would look good if it had a icey sole. Black and gold looks like a failed version of the Nike elite shoes.

@VladimirMatyukhin I'm done buying Nike or Jordan. Their whole ParaNorman contest pisses me off. Their able to invest in attracting new customers but could give a crap less about people who are spending and been spending. Instead it a contest to give foams to people who never bought a pair before seal Jordan boxes and autograph every on in 5k or something. I had a jacked childhood. No happy pictures or pictures of me at all for that matter. So I was excluded from the start. I spent 10k on shoes this year and it nike screws up the best they would ever do for me is give me a core to get express shipping free WHEN I SPEND MORE! Which isn't happening. I'm done. I retire. I got about 20k worth of shoes to start selling. I joke not I wouldn't buy the raging bull pack at less than retail if it were sitting in front of me. I'm done. Tired of spending so much money on shit and having to stay up all night and fight for QS releases to get something even 1/2 way worth collecting. I have half a mind to find out it the contest was even legal because it required someone to of cared enough to have taken pictures of me to join. Sorry Nike I didn't have that and for that Im not good enough to join. Anyone need size 13 shit than hit me up. I got over 100pr for sale. Who knows maybe I could buy a ParaNorman foamposite after selling my collection. Someone needs to study eBay closely. I bet 750 of 800 are resold. And for all this I'm done. No point in it. Nike stopped caring about their customers and I won't do business like that anymore.

@VladimirMatyukhin Silica gel bead packets, air tight container, and avoid display in sunlight. The linseed oil will provide a small level of protection but kind of like 10spf sun screen. It's nuts even the 11 lows came creamy looking. Silica gel bead packs prevent a lot of problems. Including like yellowing of paint and soles. My OG true blues with the Nike air is whiter than my 2011 true blue s that've been worn only 8-10hours. The footlocker sneaker protector does a good job helping keep icy soles easy to clean too. The yellowing can happen even from light bulb light. Air tight containers with silica gel to absorb any moisture and oxygen. I recommend re-usable silica gel packs on eBay. You can just put them in the oven to reactivate the silica gel. Some of the gel beads will get black when you need to reactivate your silica gel bead packets.

@VladimirMatyukhin The intricacy of the design makes the filberts off the chart! I already worn 1 of mine. I only got 1 of the obsidians tho which are also sick as hell.

@VladimirMatyukhin Or Walmart actually. Walmart had linseed oil I'm pretty sure. In pharmacy area oddly enough. Call around tho. And read my other post about clear coating. I think that is a solid part of the reason paint would transfer from 1 thing to another item of clothing rather easily.

@VladimirMatyukhin I got it at a hobby store. It's a common used oil to treat leathers. It should be near the acrylic paint usually because it's the product used to shine the acrylic paint. Also above your acrylic layer of paint don't be afraid to use a clear coat and use the oil last once all has dried. I have actually had sneakers where the toe box got stepped on and left a gouge in it. I ended up using a small bit of glue to even the surface, then slightly sanded it with fine grit sand and then painted, clear coated, and then linseed oil. I should have added the clear coat is Important to acrylic leather painting. They make the clear coat specifically for the acrylic paint. Just wait for everything to dry before doing anything. I have a lot of experience with customizing. I actually changed my 11 lows from this year to a red color. It's not quite as shiny as the original patent leather but they look killer. Wish I could show some pics but I sold them long ago. ALSO get a girlfriend to paint your Jordan 7 GMP lace tips from silver to gold. Really sets the shoe off. Again clear coat will assure the paint not transferring to anything but let the paint fully dry (extra time drying is advisable)

@ijustwantqualityjays Hey now I am sure they cost at least $8 to make. Give Nike a little credit. I mean we have to include the cost of the box and shoe laces as well.

@VladimirMatyukhin Oh and linseed oil is good for all leathers. It keeps it somewhat moist but not actually like wet. It makes it so creasing seems to show less because the leather is softer. I know my cool grey 11's are 100% non creased at the toe box because I treated it with the linseed oil a couple times before wearing. All the oil will do visually is make it shiny but as far as leather treatment it's just like a cowboy boot. If you don't treat it ever the leather quickly disintegrates.

@VladimirMatyukhin Make sure to let it dry for a few days minimum. Take a wet finger and try to smudge the paint off if still not dry give it time. Do not wear before it will not smudge the color to your finger and use linseed oil to add flexibility. That angelus u have may work if you use linseed oil to add add flexibility to the paint n leather.

I got the Olympic, Filbert, Obsidian, and GMP 7's in the past month and a half. I'll get 1 pair of raptors maybe 2 but if it's not quality I'll send it back straight up.

Vlad!!! Acrylic leather paint. Use a little acitone water mix to get off any excess paint from your fix then use acrylic leather paint. Can get it at hobby stores some fabric stores. The paint will show the shape of the crease but shouldn't crack anymore. You can use Linseed oil to keep your leather shiny and soft :)

Also it's pointless to collect basic releases. Okay you can make $50 on a pair of shoes but the collectors end of Jordan should be higher priced quick strike and limited edition releases.... You know... Same as collecting anything else ever...
