G-Star Sneakers, a new line of basketball shoes developed by Adidas, have been forced to be pulled from the market because of a defective batch. The shoes were manufactured with glue that does not dry for three days. After discovering the problem, Adidas has pulled all g-star iv gps 14 sneaker units from store shelves and will replace them with new shoes according to their warranty terms. This is not the first time this problem has happened - Nike came under fire during March 2014 after they realized their tennis fans had received a defective shoe that was specifically designed for Aeropostale stores. The shoes were meant for sale at Nike locations, but instead ended up in Aeropostale stores. The shoes had defective glue that would not dry until the shoe was worn down after 150 hours of use. Adidas reported that they were able to replace the shoes under warranty terms. This is not the first time G-Star has been a victim of a defective shipment. In 2003, a large quantity of G-Star jeans had defective zippers which caused them to split and rip. In that instance, G-Star sent out replacements free of charge. G-Star has also dealt with different problems in the past. In 2006, Adidas was forced to pull all G-Star sneakers from the market after their logo was discovered to be identical to that of Nike's Jordan brand. The logo was only noticeable when holding them up next to each other. G-Star denied any affiliation with the Nike brand and threatened legal action against anyone who would make such claims. The same incident occurred in 2008, when G-Star received complaints about sneakers making loud noises while walking; even one customer said her grandmother had cried when she found out her pair of shoes were defective. In an international conference call, Adidas was forced to release a statement after the conference call ended earlier than planned. According to the company's COO, Uli Becker-Sonnenberger, a general manager from a retailer had received a faulty batch of G-Star sneakers that were not being distributed in stores yet. The faulty shoes were to be delivered to retail units in China and Taiwan, but after noticing that the shoes were defective, they reported their findings before sending them out. In its statement to investors and shareholders, Adidas said as follows: "In line with our quality control processes we have been working together with our supplier on an improved manufacturing method for those styles. We recognize this has led to some disruption to the market. We are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible." G-Star has sent out replacements for customers who had returned their defective shoes, but only after the customers were able to send back their defective shoes. According to marketing experts, G-Star has lost $8 million in sales due to faulty shipments of sneakers. Customers have also flooded the G-Star website with negative reviews about the company and its defective products. They have even demanded refunds for products that they had already purchased. To combat the negative publicity surrounding its footwear line, Adidas is offering full refunds on all products sold on its website. cfa1e77820
