Brooksy wore those on Sunday, never seen them in white, I own the black pair, really fun but the red chrome comes off extremely quickly.

Driver - Who knows!?

WdFreak: thanks for the notice on the red chrome. Maybe I’ll look into spraying some sealer on the toe portion.

Boston: I bought them for a little more than double retail on the normal tour premiere and I have an acquaintance that was a long time Nike rep and these are non-production samples so I believe they are the only white ones made in size 10.

Bill: Thanks for the info. Nice to know. The small dots on the interior of the lead are stars so I’m not quite sure what they represent but oh well.

Merry Christmas everyone.

They are clear when the red wears off, to be honest it doesnt look that bad and its really only worn off in the high walking areas on the toe, the heel is just fine and still red.

Amazed at the state of those at the bottom. The red chrome does look really cool but for it to wear off so quickly and end up looking so tatty, honestly I cannot understand why anyone would want to buy them?! Surely, the could figure out a way of getting the colour to stick around longer.

Just amazed that Nike can put something like that into retail sales. I can just see the conversation now:

Marketing chief: Wow, these are beautiful and can't wait for sales launch.

R&D Director: Uhm….just want to let you know that the red chrome comes off easy, real easy, like 1st wearing.

Marketing chief: Do you think they'll notice? I mean, they are pretty on the top.

R&D Director: Yes, but once the red comes off and you take them off, a customer will be rightly pissed.

Marketing chief: How about if we put a card in the box warning that this might happen, they were fore-warned

R&D Director: Do you mean putting a big warning sign on the outside of the box?

Marketing chief: No, just a small card dropped into the box (maybe they won't even read it when trying them on).

R&D Director: That's kind of 'sneaky'. I just don't think this will go over well with the public.

Marketing chief: 'Sneaky'? Perfect....we broke into the business on 'sneakers'.

The sticker says that "the chrome finish will flake off with use over time". In another post above, with a photo, ajbellinger said that the condition of his shoes in that photo were the result of one round of golf. Do you think that anyone purchasing those shoes believed that "with use over time" meant four hours?

Just because there's a 'sticker' on the bottom of the shoe, that makes it OK? What about people buying from online without chance to physically examine the shoe. But even with those that see the sticker, don't you think there is some doubt that the chrome will come off as demonstrated in the above photos, and as much that comes off from just 1 wearing? Who the heck makes a product where a major color that factors into the 'prettiness' of the item comes off after 1 wearing? Why can't you incorporate a dye into the plastic that makes a red color that lasts, even if not as pretty as the 'chrome'? I could do a better job on that decision without the drawback. Sorry, but sticker or not, that is a horrible marketing decision....person should be fired for what it likely cost in re-crediting people for their duped purchases. Like buying a car with a sticker on the tires that "tires may fall off without notice...buyer be ware", so when that happens to you (or if you didn't notice the sticker), you were forewarned I guess. I can't believe posters who suggest it's OK because there was a sticker alerting buyers that this would happen? You accept that kind of thing in life? Maybe a set of clubs where heads fly off on 1 round of golf (there was a sticker on the shaft that said that might happen, so if you bought it, you accepted it, lol).
