nike defines retros as being for casual wear so they dont go all out with quality. they have to for the new sneakers that they market as performance.

Pretty much. Jordan had me for years on the nostalgia, but not anymore. Only a few release I hold near and dear, but it's not worth the headache and stress for plastic leather.
I like the SB lane I'm in, and the community is way better and its actually about the shoes not everything else.

To a degree, they should. People don't ball in retro kicks. They just rock em with casual outfit and sunday best. I won't lie. They retro I ball in is the Air Force Max. I still ball in my pair from 05. They're beaten but good.

I agree with what you're saying. Just be wary because I have a feeling SBs popularity is about to return to the way it was in mid 2000's.

at the prices they charge it's just not worth it to me. $170 for crap "leather" and assembly vs $120 for premium materials and less hassle. im to the point where i'll only buy retro jordans if they're suede/nubuck because the leather is straight up garbage

Skate shops doing people dirty, but I guess they've seen a influx of people lately that don't usually shop there. I'm tempted to stop by my local, but I'm sure I'll get the same treatment.

Yea, I feel ya man. I agree with what you're saying. But sometimes, I see a pair I like and I have to cop.

They are legit from what I can tell; just one more thing ask to see the box tag
It should be in the middle not down to the lower left
The star lines up correctly and the stitching on the sole is tight

BUT WHAT DOES DRAKE SAY?!

It's like you know it's bad but you keep f***ing with it. Now, I have never had a pair of my J's rip or fall apart, the Retro quality is subpar to most everything. But people keep buying so they won't stop making em. I'm one of those ppl

I don't think it will ever go back to it's extreme days
SB is too big now; back then it was small and really Dunks were the whole brand
Janoski's are easily the strongest seller within the SB brand

Yea, the writing's on the wall and with Nike putting SBs at Niketown, they're trying to expand the line and make it mainstream or more commercial.
- 68,176

it's really already there; all they are really doing now is slowly adding Dunks to Niketown

Right, we continue to support Nike's stock lol
Found a few places around me that are getting the Tiff's. Most are raffles but 2 are fcfs. The raffles are 2-3 hours away so IDK if I'll make that trip. FCFS are 1.5-2 hours, so I'm trying to plan my trip. Anyone think 12 hours before release is long enough to wait? I can't quit my day job and camp now like some people are lol

That I don't mind, just I don't want it to become like this release on 2/8. It's selfish but I rather the hype just stay away for the time being.

All the JB people going for the Tiff's are doing it for one reason; to sell
