[23mj88]

Why is it hard to take a picture and show us what you're talking about.

Like I said. Owned em all since 95. This years pair has crap patent. Period.

 

[Boo_Radley_]

^ yeah mine don’t look like that. Got more pairs to open hopefully they are all LNM.

Not gonna worry about ln4 just wear it and that’s it whatever happens to the patent is fine

 

[trappedintime]

My girlfriend took a look for me cause I needed an extra set of eyes. She said mine is pretty thick compared to you guys with LN4’s

 

[Boo_Radley_]

I’m probably gonna catch some flack for this but from what I’ve seen the PL on the recent XI’s hasn’t been thick since the ’16 Jams. Those had the thickest cut of PL that I’ve received from JB since the first retro era. Looking at these compared to the other recent releases there really ain’t much of a difference. I think the leather upper being stiffer than the usual mesh is part of why these are creasing so easily on some folk. Weve never had a full leather upper on top of thick leather eyelet straps. The shoe is definitely stiffer and less forgiving than previous releases.

They had these at Champs and Footlocker.

…but only in small sizes.

 

[KanyIZZY]

PL has def been getting thinner. Concords were fine though and Playoffs were somewhat similar.

 

[WesleyPipes]

Cool greys have thin patent leather

 

[Boo_Radley_]

Just looked at my WL 82’s the PL on those was pretty nice too.

 

[sneeker]

it barely has any grain to it. no wonder it creases badly.

Finding new ways to come up as short as LN4 parent. Sad Magoo, sad.
