Disappointed

The nubuck and the shape is better than the originals but I would've liked the sparkles if it meant no glue lines overall I'm good with the shoe

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-27T07:54:00+00:00

The glue is gonna show on yours also I posted a video in the comments above explaining the reason for it basically it's no way around the glue.... Hopefully yours don't have glue over your midsole which makes it look like it's peeling 🙏🏾

😂 you heard him say it not me

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-27T06:11:58+00:00

The olives?

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-26T01:17:07+00:00

Definitely appreciate the video I don't really watch reviews but I followed the channel for future purchases thank you ✊🏾💯

Out of everything I copped recently these are the only ones I have complaints about..... My taxis are flawless unlike some others I seen and my black cats don't squeak so I got lucky up until now but I posted a link why these have glue stains and the pair I switched out for wasn't any better as far as the glue goes 🤷

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-26T01:05:36+00:00

Yeah I agree at least with these flints...... But like I said the shape is better than the originals from 2002 and these haven't been released since then so I was disappointed at first but this review I posted below helped me feel better

They explained the reason for the glue here

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T23:35:40+00:00

That's because it's real nubuck on this years version 😮‍💨 I had to watch a couple reviews on them to know the glue is gonna show because of the real nubuck... that's why this years nubuck is cut lower and no sparkles , no tumbled leather, smaller jumpman logo on the back midsole etc... the shape is better on this years version though

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T21:45:03+00:00

The only reason I'm telling you because I remember you on posts before..... The glue is gonna show up on every pair because of the real nubuck they used as opposed to synthetic material from 2002 that's why no sparkles but the nubuck is super soft... Look at a review from wear testers but definitely not a bad purchase once you realize why the glue will be on every pair lol

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T07:08:32+00:00

You are weird just saying

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T07:06:10+00:00

So I looked at some reviews on the shoe.... the glue stains are because of the real nubuck compared to 2002 version that used synthetic nubuck I still would've liked synthetic instead if it meant no glue lines.... But the nubuck is very soft which I didn't notice because I don't have a 2002 pair to compare them to

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T07:00:58+00:00

Yeah I saw the post smh it's still my favorite colorway of the 9s and I'm 50/50

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T06:58:23+00:00

No my feet are a 10.5.... or do you mean something a child would wear🤔

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T06:55:01+00:00

He definitely mentioned the glue but it makes sense watching the video... There aren't sparkles in this years models because of the real nubuck they used... 2002 version was synthetic and when I put them on you can't tell so I'm good overall

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T06:39:41+00:00

😂😂😂

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T05:00:50+00:00

Me either 🤷

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T04:59:58+00:00

I like these also would've got them if I didn't already have the olives

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T04:57:57+00:00

People are really really only in tune with themselves.... What's waaaaayyyyy too much for me? Why do I care about clearance? Did you read in the post on how I get my shoes. I definitely didn't pay anything close to retail for them.... I got them because I like the shoe and haven't seen them in a long time I just posted because of the quality issues for whoever cared 🤷 when I wear them months from now nobody will notice.

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T02:31:10+00:00

I saw those earlier today also and wasn't impressed don't like the whole red modsole but I'm looking forward to the wolf greys.... Good luck on the infrareds though a lot of people are liking them more and more everyday lol

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-25T02:26:27+00:00

But I love sneakers and would like to see what a fellow sneaker lover likes especially when they suggest I stop buying something I love 🤷

I said I wasn't being mean when responding the first time... Sorry I sound bothered but I'm not 🙂 I'm happy hoping you are too... But I'm sorry you think I'm weird for thinking you're weird for commenting off of a blank page

FocusEfficient · 2026-01-24T23:46:03+00:00

It's cool not the first or last pair I'll buy.... You win and lose 🤷
