Attention Basketball Players and Shoe Fanatics

[Ian]

Ok, so as both of these, I'm having a serious issue here.

A few weeks ago I bought the new Adidas Gil Zeros (mid)...Within a few hours of use on the court, the "pods" on the midsole had started to delaminate (one in specific)

So of course I went directly back to Finish Line and got them to give me a new pair...

The thing is...AGAIN, a midsole pod ripped off within 2 days of use.


Now I ONLY use these on the court, so you have to understand, these shoes only a few hours of wear time each...


I can't find ANY information regarding this shit online...It seems like I'm the only person in the world that this has happened to...Does anybody know what's up?


PS.

Make no cracks at Gilbert/Wizards or I'll kill you

[TiNMAN]

get a hold of adidas. i know nike has a 2 year policy on their shoes and that theres a hotline you can call to get them replaced for freeeee. just let adidas know that their shoes keep shitting on you.

[ALTRNTV]

Do you play good defense? If so, maybe that's why they're ripping. You're putting them through too much abuse. Adidas probably didn't take playing defense into account, since Arenas doesn't play any. :keke:

I kid I kid. ;)

thats why you gotta stomp the court in your jordan V's :bigok:

[illvialuver]

yes, ust buy nikes, made in vietnam, good for more than two uses at the gym. but nikes, just do it

[TiNMAN]

arent those III's in the pic??



edit: yes, they are III's.

[s13poop]

yeah those are fire red 3's my bad

my fav's are 5's though :D

[A Spec Products]

They just released the black cement V's again.

I still haven't owned a pair of Jordans since I was a kid.

I want III's or V's sooo bad but I know they'll keep rereleasing as long as Nike is in business.

Their quality goes down each time though.

As far as the original post goes, Nike's replacement warranty program only applies in certain scenarios iirc, like when their first gen shox would rip off, etc. You can't just be like oh my sneaker broke gimme a new one.

You need to just be a poser like me and not use sneakers for their intended use.

WALK IT OUT, WESTSIDE WALK IT OUT!

i need to get rid of my SB's for parts :rofl:

[95Blue240sx]

I dont consider the white/red V's fire reds just for the fact that the actual "fire part" is black and around it its red. Anyway I got them for xmas. I got the actual fire reds, where its actually red at the "fire" part when they retro'd them. =P

[miucus]

yeah they still available if you wear a size 14 and up or if you wear a size 7 and down.

[Farzam]

If anyone wants to trade size 9 SB Dunks, I am sure I could manage to find you a pair of whatever you want...if I feel like looking when you make an offer.

[s13poop]

yeah they still available if you wear a size 14 and up or if you wear a size 7 and down.

im thinking of letting go of my day of the deads...

i need coilovers :-/

[Farzam]

How much and what size?

[s13poop]

i dunno im testing waters right now but they are sz 10

[Farzam]

Hmm.

Well PM me an estimate dollar price.

I won't get em but I know someone who'd basically blow you for em. Or just give you money. You know, whatever is easier.

[ManoNegra]

So Poop, you never got a hold on more Muertos? It's cool man, I spend too much money on shit I don't need as is already.

Jordan, cool as they may be - the first 11 anyways, are so damn played out.

[95Blue240sx]

Ever since the whole SB line blew up, Ive only got 2 and Im glad I didnt get more. I use my oompa loompas on a daily basis and really dont care for them, lol. My bandaids are my favorites. Other than that I got few jordans, mostly xi's.

[Farzam]

I didn't really like the bandaids. I'm kinda biased since I skateboard and despise suede...but I just thought they were bland and had nothing to do with bandaids.

Really...I have crappy taste in shoes and have no idea what shoes even are. I just throw around the words Dunk and SB in a conversation and talk about cool colorways and make up names for Dunks and then I go home at night and pee my bed.

[s13poop]

i sent you're request for a sz 8.5-9 mano but my cousin said they sold quick
she had my sz 10's reserved for 3 weeks until she finally flew down and brought them to me

my bad for not getting back to you though :-/

[ALTRNTV]

Puahaha.. this turned into the SHOE THREAD. Hahaha

Anyone wants to sell, or know someone with DS sz9.5-10 Jedis or Purple Avengers (non-patent)?

[miucus]

i got some sz 9 sb's, sz 9 jordan v green beans, sz 9 jordan dunks. if anyone interested pm me.

there should be a shoe thread that is stickied

[ManoNegra]

It's cool Poop, the bears wiped me out for a while. But the Crews dropping this month are looking tasty...
There was a shoe thread but it kinda died down.

[!Zar!]

Yum. Day of the deads.

S13poop. I hate you. =)

[Ian]

Do you play good defense? If so, maybe that's why they're ripping. You're putting them through too much abuse. Adidas probably didn't take playing defense into account, since Arenas doesn't play any. :keke:

I kid I kid. ;)



haha...yes, i do play good defense. and while i hate you for joking on gil...i agree with your joke :fawk2:


and Logan, I had to get my shox warrantied too lol

i had 3 pairs total after that whole ordeal was through...they were still sick shoes tho before they broke each time...similar to the gils

[TiNMAN]

by my pad they are :keke:

Agreed

Look at my collection in my sig

Last two SB's I got were the brown packs, and by then I was sick of it

All you youngins!

[ManoNegra]

I know what you mean Logan. At times I'm sick of the bs hype and product being shoved down our throats.
I try to pick my spots now and sneakers gotta mean something more to be than just hype. I mean I could have picked up Spizikes and Penny Fromposites but why? I don't particular care for them.
Lets see what you got Poop. So are you getting out of the hustle?

btw, getting these today:

[ALTRNTV]

Cool, I buy doubles of some sneakers once in a while with the idea to sell them later on but when it comes down to it I find it very difficult to part with my kicks.

Got the Linoliums today.. butter! Dinosaur Jrs are rumored to drop this week too... hmmm... either that or pick up a few tier 2 adicolors that this spot had on clearance.

So what are you getting rid of out of curiosity?

[s13gold]

damn that sucks...did u hurt ur ankle or anything..

[alexchanman]

They just released the black cement V's again.

I still haven't owned a pair of Jordans since I was a kid.

I want III's or V's sooo bad but I know they'll keep rereleasing as long as Nike is in business.

WALK IT OUT, WESTSIDE WALK IT OUT!

hmmmm the 3's are releasing in the fire red colorway on the 24th of february.

[ManoNegra]

^ Yeah, but there's a 'new' Jordan out almost every week. Nike needs to chill, they're saturazing the brand. Only Jordans I'm remotely interested in is the BMP pack.

[s13poop]

So what are you getting rid of out of curiosity?

hmmmm still debating but

day of the dead, pusheads, purple pigeons, hawaii's, germany blazers, todd jordan blazers and some consolidated drunks..

all sz 10 cept for the 9.5 drunks

[ManoNegra]

Good thing you're not my size.. lol
Deads and Pusheads are dope dope dope. What are you asking for them out of curiosity? DS?

[s13poop]

day of the deads i tried them on carpet..

they've never seen pavement and no creasing whatsoever maybe $300-350 NSB prices

i've worn my pusheads couple times but very lightly looking for $175-180 :D

[ManoNegra]

Not bad at all.. again, too bad they're not my size.

[s13poop]

lol word

i would have given you the mad premie discount :bigok:

[ManoNegra]

Shot you a PM Poop.

[s13poop]

PM replied :D

[ManoNegra]

Damn you. Now I'm all goosed up!

[ALTRNTV]

Ernie, how much for the purple pigeons? They DS?

[s13poop]

^ i wore them once they've been in the closet ever since NDS condition with box extra laces and everything looking for $90 comes with limited edition NSB lace locks

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/poopone/DSC00827.jpg
