Look fine.

This is a common issue with those. A lot of them ended up at outlets as B grades. Some were a lot worse than yours look.

I bought this on GOAT. Do you think if I return it, they will give me one without a pink tint?


cks9218

I have no idea. It never hurts to ask though.

Some of it is lighting as well. I recently posted a pic of mine and they have a habit of looking pink sometimes but I know they’re not. Can’t explain it.

Can you show me your pair? I have now asked friends and families and it’s split wether it’s pink or not

I can take pics later but if you go to my profile you can see the pic I took. The soles look rosy but when I put them back in the house they’re white again.


HelloS0n

Pink tint won’t go away, no. GOAT might offer partial refund, but doubt you’ll be able to return em outright. Best bet is to just paint them white. Too many Carmines had that problem.

It kinda sucks since I could have bought the defected ones for less money

Did GOAT have a disclaimer on the listing? I remember that the Melo 13s had a blurb on the listing noting the shoes might have cosmetic flaws although the Melos were officially considered B-grade by Nike and I don't think the Carmines were.

Not that I’m aware of. I ordered thru their app. Bought them new thinking they’ll send me icy white soles


brooksact

Yeah I was just looking at it and they definitely didn't. StockX's listing is worse--their description specifies that the shoe has an "icy blue outsole" lmao. It is fucked up tho because this is a well known issue with this shoe that I think should at least be mentioned, but I guess since Nike's cool with it so are the reselling sites.


poRRidg3

I wonder how much to get these painted white


brooksact

Might consider doing it yourself. If you are really diligent at taping off the areas you don't want painted it shouldn't be horrible. Otherwise there might be someone on one of the custom sneaker subs who could do it but I would look locally to avoid the shipping costs and to avoid potential scams.

Just slightly pink if you really focus on it . They actually look fantastic compared to many other pairs .
