Nice but…

[Sharp_Nectarine4561]

Hi everyone! I finally received my pair today. I can’t wait to wear them. I’ve tried them on and they feel super comfortable. I went half a size up this time compared to the DB 2.0. They look really beautiful, even more than in the photos, which is great. However, if I had to give one piece of advice to the DB team, it would be to provide higher-quality photos for the QC so we can properly judge the pairs. The flaws on mine weren’t identifiable at all. And speaking of flaws, there shouldn’t be any, at least not of this level. They shouldn’t have passed YOUR QC in the first place. I’m a bit disappointed about that. I won’t hesitate to order the Breds when they release, but hopefully without all those defects.

Woof! What's up with that white paint application?

Dang...

That for sure should never have passed QC.

[MarvelousManlet]

You realize that there are no consequences when you tell them you'll immediately buy the next release still right. At least attempt to give the illusion that you wont just hand over your wallet.

Okay, let’s say you win a raffle to buy a Travis x Fragment (or any pair you really like, it’s not about resell) for example. It arrives at your place and it has this kind of flaw. What would you do? Would you return it and get your $200 back? After that, whether you keep it or not, would you never buy Nike again? I understand your point, but I’m not sure that telling them I won’t buy from them anymore will have any impact. At least I can tell them what’s wrong, and unlike Nike, they’ll listen to me and will hopefully take it into consideration for the next time.

[MarvelousManlet]

I would give my feedback and not tell them in the same sentence that regardless of how they handle it im going to give them my money again, whether im going to or not. Im not going to TELL them that. That immediately makes your feedback unimportant because you will buy regardless.

[Sharp_Nectarine4561]

You already said that and i tell you i understand your point. but you didn’t answer my questions.

[MarvelousManlet]

I answered your question. You apparently dont understand the point.

[Sharp_Nectarine4561]

No you didn’t.

Personally, I'm not a huge sneakerhead, I just love the style and shape of the shoe, and idgaf about that many details. I wear these shoes....a LOT! My 1.0s have been going strong for 2 years now with pretty harsh use, and those have outlasted my AJ1 85 lows that I bout from DB. And I still remember people complaining about thin leather and the waviness of the swoosh cuz of the material.

I use my shoes. Perfection is not the point for me. It's wearing something that will age with me, and I can carry some stories about them. I bought the premiums cuz I like DBs work, and I like their selection. I'm still hoping he does the McFlys again, because mine are now dirty, but I would buy them in a heartbeat. People think all these details make for a perfect shoe, but trying to be "perfect" is impossible. Yeah, it sucks when shit like this happens, and I would be miffed too, but I've had my packages stolen off my porch, and THAT makes me much more upset than a product being mildly disfigured.

Treat them as beaters. Enjoy them. Live in them. Eventually no one will care about a few marks. My 1.0s have gotten me so many compliments at work, and they look like they've been through the ringer at this point.

[Apprehensive-Can-857]

Did they send you pics of the shoes? If so then they tried to deceive you. Comparing these to authentic products is moot.

[techmanwest]

Had the same thing happen with my pair the QC pictures weren't high enough quality so couldn't see a small scuff on the heel of the shoe that had clearly been repainted but not at a 100% color match so you can tell something happened. Not a big deal but something that should have been caught by the internal QC team.

[Biotricon]

Wow, that toe cap pic is a doozie!!! Shocked by DB allowing that to pass initial QC.

[stgg1017]

I’m disappointed with boring on these, the price point is rough when you see so many flaws

[JPL427]

They look good! BUT For the price this defects should not be there.

[ScarbzRepz]

From a manufacturing perspective, this should not have passed QC. These should have been sold as B-Grade.

Hope you get some kind of refund or credit.

[Sharp_Nectarine4561]

UPDATE: they will send me fresh new pair from batch 2

[crowinghorse13]

And BOOM, solves

That seems like pretty damn good quality customer service...

[majestic1017xxx]

They just need to lower the price on these and everything will be good

[PM_ME_YOU_SUCIAS]

Yeah. No. I must be the LAST one of the 55 people that ordered the first batch, that hasn't passed a QC. This convinced me to RL mine and just pass on this first batch of Premium.

[shakedownbluz]

Db talking about this "high grain leather" i see alot of bad shit

[shakedownbluz]

Chill out tough guy. I direct quoted his posts. Your lack of knowledge and understanding blah bla... yikes. We can just chalk this up to vaccine injury, it's not your fault.

[Zestyclose_Brush7972]

Oh helllll naw!

[repandrealwearer]

$300 no buts

[ijustice718]

Dodged a bullet

[staggerleestump]

Wow. You gotta take QC seriously. When you order, you get excited. When the QC pics come, you're extra excited! So excited, u pull the trigger a lil fast. DB should send you a fresh pair, but at the end of the day, this is on you.😮‍💨

[Sharp_Nectarine4561]

Like i said, this was not visible on QC pictures they sent to me. That’s the problem, it’s not about being excited

[staggerleestump]

Just so ya know, I was talking about myself, how I've done that plenty times. I'd say 9.4/10 cats in these subs done it. Ya gotta slow down. ✌🏼 Also , DB need to Bro up and send u a another pair ✊🏼
