    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    This is true. I did. Good call out and you're right. I even posted a picture a few pages back. I'm one of the guilty for buying them. This is my first venture into the "remastered" territory. I sincerely thought that the quality would justify the cost. They don't. I was wrong and I made a...

    Friend I didn't say that you should reevaluate how *you* should spend *your* money; however I did say that there comes a time when we all want the maximum value for our dollar and when we realize that we aren't getting it, it can be disconcerting. For some that comes earlier than others. I...

    Protest with your pocket. That's doing something. Force a quality shift. People won't because they'd rather "break necks" than have a company provide a product that justifies the cost.

    Yes I am. But then I own Shadow 09s and Banned 11s. I can't imagine that you do because if you did, you'd realize the inanity of your statement.

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    Thanks bro. Yea, the quality is not that good but the market has lost its willingness to care. Enjoy your pair and if you ever get a chance, pick up a pair of 09 Shadows for cheap. You can get a pair ds for ~$300. It's ridiculous the quality and craftsmanship that went into those. That's Jb...

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    Welcomed thoughts and it's good to see that others value quality communication. I read a lot of resumes on a daily basis and this country is losing talent and value because of an over-reliance on short-hand and social media language to get their points across. And the use of "e.g.," didn't...

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    Jordan has no incentive to increase the quality. In fact, I wager that they're experimenting with ways to decrease material cost without losing market share. The market has shown that people will buy nearly anything with a jumpman on it from a certain year range. It used to be 3s and 4s. You...

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    Yes this. And I'm one of the guilty. I bought a pair for retail. I don't intend to purchase any other Jordans, though, until some effort is made with regard to their quality. I was on Jordan hiatus before and they duped me with this "remastered" strategy. It's nothing but more of the same and my...

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    This is always my retort to those who say that it's financially prohibitive to make a good quality Jordan at a fair price. It's very possible. It's actually easy. Michael Jordan's cut of the profit was 100,000,000 last year alone from Jb. And he is the lower end of the profit margin food chain...

    My quality comment referenced a different gentleman who made reference to the quality being good. I didn't make a quality point in response to the gentleman from Australia's post. He asked a question about was something worth it and I answered. And just because someone can afford something...

    The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

    But I didn't state my opinion as facts. I stated them as opinions. And have since characterized them as such. I feel fairly confident, though not 100%, in a few things that I mentioned that could maybe masquerade as "facts." The 2011 banned 1 and the Shadow 1 in 2009 were arguably better...

    I have mine. One pair. Finishline raffle. He asked a question that I answered sincerely. If he wanted the answer that he knew and wanted to hear, then he shouldn't have asked because he knew anyway.
