Sorry, wrinkles like that should not be present on $600 shoes. None of the V2s have wringles like that, yet all are made in a similar way - IE a stitch down over a last.

This is one reason why I never did the split method to conceal the wire. If it broke, an external wire was easier to access even though the split method looked far neater. Point being, when you are wearing them, you can't see the wire anyway.
Would you mind taking some measurements of the clear soles? I am still trying to get an idea of clear sole sizing on these shoes.

I like them in that size. It seems that only the toe length gets longer on the larger sizes. Hope that is not the case.
Anyone got two quite different sizes to do a side by side?
Yeah, when you actually look at the official pair on Jfox, they do look quite compact to me, I believe he is size 6 or 7 x)

Look at this post and the one right after it.

How about some pictures of my Size 8's with a tailor's tape in the shot? (And if you need any more help scaling, the EL in the soles is 4 15/16" from tip to tip)
The first picture shows the toe wrinkles as they really appear. Once my foot is inside, the wrinkle is entirely invisible. So it works for me. And really, if someone has a problem with these shoes, no one is forcing you to buy a pair, just don't poopoo on those who chose to buy them just because the shoes don't match your personal ideal for the shoes.
I don't care whether you want sock toes, or a custom paint job, or even want to replace the EL with diffused LEDs, everyone has their own ideal for these shoes. We should be supporting each other rather than shooting each other down by saying how satisfied people SHOULD be with their purchase. I know we are all opinionated and have waited for years or decades for these shoes, but remember that if you are critiquing a pair of shoes, you are critiquing a member here. If you wouldn't walk into someone's house and start saying a certain thing about their furniture, don't say it about a person's shoes.
It seems that a lot of members have worked themselves up into a feeding frenzy and refuse to back down. If you don't own the shoes, then continue to pursue the shoes in any way you see fit. (Modding V1s or V2s, making your own customs, etc) If you DO own the shoes, feel free to critique what you see as shortcomings of your own shoes, but a lot of people have been extremely rude lately, and I think we all need to take a step back and choose to be people first, and nerds second.
Rant over, I love my shoes. And if you don't own a pair, you're missing out.

David this was the response from your team when I asked them:
Your explanation makes more sense. However they've already shipped my pair. It would be great if the first pair arrive. We'll see.
Thanks for the pics. Your size 8 soles appear to only be about 1/2" smaller then size 11 soles.
Seems like another copy/paste response.
Thinking of potential mods:
If anyone wants to make the bubble more accurate, before even trying to de-fog it, you may want to investigate swapping the LEDs out for more directional, less diffused ones. The ones in the shoe have a wide field of view, which is illuminating the areas around the other colors, making them less distinct. When really, what they need is something that mostly lights the area directly in front of it. Couple that with a de-fog and you'll have yourself a damn good ankle bubble.
Though, I'm almost afraid of how difficult it would be to lift the glue from the heel cup. That thing feels welded on. :lol

You might remember there being 1510 pair made? Yet 1500 pair were auctioned. I believe the other 10 pair were the F&F shoes.
Here is the video showing a guy un-boxing them. So you notice that they are not actually a pair. He got one of the 2011 and one true replica of the screen used shoe. I even like the box better.
Thats incorrect. There were 1510 pairs auctioned. 1500 pairs on EBay. 10 "exclusive" pairs auctioned at various Nike Flagship Stores around the world. The friends and family pairs were a mix of prototype shoes and the display MAGs at the LA launch event.
