I've bought and drove in this model for 20+ years... Never creased like this before.

What's crazy is the patent leather in my 2018 Concords which I put a good amount of miles over the years has barely any creases in em and with these I walked in em for 2 hours and they legit look like I wore em for years. I was planning on wearing my Concords more often too considering I have the Gratitudes but I can't see the patent holding up well over the years for these.

point is, is it normal creasing? I have Jordan XI pairs that creased over time when I used them but not as bad from what I've seen from these pics. for the premium that JB is selling them, it is disappointing. like others have mentioned, they go 1 step forward and 2 step backwards with these retro releases. I appreciate they improved on the step-in comfort and insole/footbed materials they used, but come on, significantly using a bad type of leather that affects the aesthetics of the shoe is just insulting.

I never doubled up on my white XIs for creasing. It was normally for soy sauce and blood situations. RIP 2016 Cement IVs when I dropped a plate of sushi on them.

I'm curious is the womens Neapolitan patent leather quality the same as the Gratitudes? I'm assuming it is since they both released around the same time.

I'm more interested in hearing your 'blood' stories than the soy sauce/wasabi accidents

No. I've watched several reviews of guys wearing them and not one has mentioned it. And on this Gratitude video a comment from a store worker said the Neapolitan had thicker patent. I don't know why these got the shine shaft!

Anyone try these with sneaker shields to prevent creasing lol.? Or would shields be ineffective on patent leather? Never tried them on 11s before because all we know in the past, the patent leather was thicker and creasing was more acceptable imo and more confined to the medial side.

Well women's exclusive Jordan releases generally have better quality than mens pairs so I'm not surprised.

I wear shields on most of my J’s, and they do a fine job of preventing/reducing creases. You definitely sacrifice comfort though.
