AIR JORDAN 11 “GRATITUDE” / THANK YOU - 12/09/2023

[zombiejohnny]

I have never in my life seen an 11 crease like this.

PLUS an increased retail???? I'm all the way good on these.

Its almost like they downgraded the patent leather in order to put leather on the upper.

Bingo

Wouldn't play in these since they lack breathability. LNM can do a lot of things but it can’t save them this time

Hooped in the tinfoil 11s today

Ive worn mine 3 times and they didnt do this. You had to be seriously hooping in them for that............and we all know retro j`s arent made for that anymore, haha.

On the court like this probably

I’m seeing a lot of comments about creases after one casual wear too. Disappointment for sure.

 

[zombiejohnny]

Besides all this talk about the patent leather, how's the leather upper been holding up after a few wears?

 

[23mj88]

I had over 100 inboxes on IG saying they wore them once or twice and the toe is mangeled. Say what you want but we know folks on Niketalk buy shoes to look at

Retro Jordan’s 100% can be hooped in. In fact 11s are one of the best. Don’t turn a blind eye to the brand using paper thin crap material.

Wearing mine right now and they aren’t bad at all. Some minor creasing on the inside that’s about it.

This factory talk had me take a look at my pairs.

The 2 I got from the shock drop are LNM master race.

Both of my other ones I copped from snkrs on release are LN4.

I also have one more from DSG supposed to be here in a few days.

And to reference my 2019 black reds, those are SZ have the thinnest patent leather, micro dink sized. Creasing is very minimal I've maybe worn them two dozen times from my door to get the mail box.

Any size 12's lingering around online. Should have ordered a 2nd pair last night on DSG but waited until the morning and now size 12 is out of stock on DSG

Try in-store my boy who manages footwear was off today but as of this am they still have sizes in the back. Assuming for a restock you have to ask a rep but they still have various sizes in store. Just mot online whether waiting to reload them or restock them. They may say on the phone it's a store by store thing i used to work there years ago. Each manager does things different.

What about inserts? Has anyone rocked them that way yet? Do they still crease?

DTLR pair arrived today. Flawless.

LNM if anyone is taking score

We need photos...stat

LNM on left, LN4 on the right (the yellowing on the LN4 is just the lighting)

LN4 on the left, LNM on the right

It's like this for two pairs of the LN4 where it is a thicker patent cut vs the LNM

 

[iTookanL]

LN4 elite and the leather is 1.69mm thick I don’t even have to measure it

 

[206to813]

I can barely wear these casually without my feet mad at me, I would never play ball in these. I’d have Lebron feet asap

 

[DSW]

They were always gonna crease.

These are looking good enough on feet to just accept it.

$250 a wear, $125 if you're lucky.

What are we looking for here?

Dawg, please say sike.

I wouldn't hoop in retros period!
The tech is much more advanced now. Retros are more of a casual shoe. C'mon, you guys should've known that by now.
