I’m so annoyed about this discolour s***. Overall quality so fire but they’ve potentially f***ed it up and ignored rain affect 🤦🏿‍♂️

Should’ve copped black

True that brah, shouldn’t even be a need to do that at all in the first place. Can’t even spray crep protect on it. Definitely considering dumping the yellow to pick up a black puffer

If they refunded me like 50% I’d be ok keeping it but this price for something that will be affected by rain maaaaaan

Nocta items arriving from Germany today

Is it confirmed that only the yellow puffer has that effect under rain?

😍

A particular person seems to have had an issue. Maybe 2

I’d assume if it happens to the yellow it happens to the black but maybe less obvious.

I'm guessing we'll just have to wait and see if it's a general production issue with all the puffers they made or if it was an error with only a few of the puffers. More complaints should give a better confirmation.

JHEEEEEEEZ

Hugely embarrassing either way man. This is Nike l... I’m sure they must have established protocol for testing of discolouration in place for decades

No company is above mistakes, lol. None. It happens. I hope it gets called to their attention so they can make the necessary changes in their next production batch. No big deal.

😂 for real it wouldn’t be bad if it went back to reg color if I had the money I buy one just go test it out

I buy Nike A LOT And have never seen it happen with even cheaper stuff so it’s ridiculous to me. I’m a Nike boy forreal lol

It actually is a big deal TGD especially if all of the yellow puffers are affected. As many have said that was the ‘flagship’ piece of this drop, NOCTA’s introduction to the world, and cost $400. If they all stain so badly from getting wet that is an absolute disaster. We shouldn’t downplay it just ‘cause we stan the creator

Yup

I checked Twitter for more evidence of the staining and they are absolutely BUZZING about the puffers. Everyone wants them and is envious of them. That’s all gonna change if all of a sudden it becomes widely known that they don’t last for s*** in inclement weather

I never said you should downplay it. That's why I said it's still left to be seen if ALL the yellow puffers or if ALL the puffers (yellow, black and blue) have the same effect under rain. If that's the case, then that's a major screw up and it'll be bad PR-wise but it's something they can easily fix for when the next drop of puffers will be ready to go.

It sucks for people who spent money getting the puffers, that's for sure. Especially if that's how they all act under rain/exposure to water, but many people like the look, feel and quality of the NOCTA drop. They'll still support. Especially if this issue is rectified in the next drop. It's a mess and shouldn't have happened but like I said, no company is above making mistakes.

There are world-renowed car companies that recall back thousands of cars from a production line because of a production error. It's not ideal but mistakes happen. That's all I'm saying.

I get that but that's why I said no company is above mistakes. Because it's never happened to you doesn't mean it can't happen. I'm sure this is a production error on Nike's part and it's only a major deal if all the puffers react the same way under exposure to rain/water. Whatever the case, though, they will receive reports and people will give them feedback.

I'll be surprised if they didn't put the puffers through a water test. That easily goes without saying.

I get you but “everybody makes mistakes” ain’t gonna cut it for such a major Nike sub brand. High profile and high price point sportswear

This ain’t after a year of use its 1 wear and any liquid touching the s***.

Somebody gotta get fired and hopefully it’s an isolated problem. They don’t need that smudge on the nocta brand right at the start

this happens to all down unless it's been treated with a strong agent/outer layer (moncler). down isn't meant to be a material to wear in rain/heavy snow...leave it to dry by a heater and it should be almost all gone.

Does Nocta even have customer service? would Nike be the ones to contact?

I didn't say everybody makes mistakes, I said no company is above mistakes and that is the truth. The biggest brands and companies have all had production errors at one point or the other. IT HAPPENS.

Stop acting like because something is high-end or high-profile, mistakes in production can't occur. Like I said, mistakes aren't ideal, especially when you've spent a lot of money for something but unfortunately, they do happen.

Usually if/when such things happen, whoever was responsible for that mistake gets punished/fired or if it's a machine error, it gets rectified and they do everything to ensure such a mistake doesn't ever happen again.

So far, we've only heard of a few isolated incedents of this happening. If it's a mass production error, no doubt we'll hear of more and more complaints as the weeks/months go by and if it's isolated, the reports and cases will be a few.

What I'm curious about is how the few cases so far can be reported to NOCTA so that they know what's happening in the first place.

I agree with you that this is potentially bad PR for the brand, especially if the error covers the entire line of the puffers. Let's hope that's not the case.

If this is actually what happened (that they didn't use the necessary outer layer material to protect against rainfall and snow), I have no doubt they'll rectify it after this drop.

Some items I’ve seen come with a “not to be worn in the rain” warning. Weird that they’d advertise it with Drizzy wearing it in the snow and then you can’t even wear it out when it rains.

I’m telling you that you can say “it happens” but as someone who follows this type of fashion I’ve never seen such hyped items from an established brand having such an amateurish fault

It’s embarrassing if it’s a wide spread problem. That’s it. It shouldn’t happen. There’s no excuse
