What [mention]T4t3r [/mention]said. They’re Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki.
I’m not sure we’re looking at the same photo. To me, the left one looks smokey mauve/particle beige and the right one looks summit white/black. I suppose only mikedop knows for sure.

I don’t think Maxx has a band as old as Mauve, and Summit would be a white box, as well as too new for Maxx to have

Maxx often has the Spruce Aura era bands, so the one on the right is either that or PP/B

I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree 🤝
 
The original photo you’re referencing the bands are:

Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki; Pure Platinum/Black

No purple bands. No disagreement or subjectivity, yeah?

Thanks!
My iPad screen & computer monitor must be wonky if the band (circled green) in this photo is Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki.

It doesn’t really matter what it looks like…just that we all assured you it wasn’t purple. And the TJ Maxx bands exist in a certain window of Apple releases and there’s no purple Nike band with dark accent like that.

Also someone tried to helpfully show you the Smokey packaging and you somehow took that as proof that everyone was in the wrong but you?

I see what you're talking about with the light vs dark accents. Given that, I'd say it's closer to Ironstone. The box photos for Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki don't match my expectations. The images on other band boxes have been much closer to matching the true band color in my experience.

Can't disagree with the labels (posted in Discord). I stand corrected. My apologies.

The Nike band box artwork can be super weird. They def select for just making them look nice on their own.

It will be easier now that the boxes are white again I think, if there are even Nike bands come sep 12.

Granted the lugs on the s8 Nike sport loop illustrations are downright inaccurate in one case, just so the box can look good haha
 
Very nice haul. Would you be open to selling one of the purple bands? DM if you’re interested. Thanks.
I can kind of see what you were talking about, but as the others mentioned, and as you can see on Discord, sadly no Smokey Mauve! They were all 41mm, no 45mm bands which sucks. I didn't buy any and I left them all there, but I'm sure there's got to be at least 1 still there. And, yeah, I thought it was Ironstone too.

Might make more sense and be cheaper for you to just check your own TJ Maxx & Marshall's, though. Shipping and PayPal fees kind of suck.
