Nightwing is probably my favorite YT sneaker reviewer and I'm sure JB listens to him especially on the performance standpoint (along with Kickgenius). Delz is also pretty on point with retro reviews, even if he can be really corny at times.
All of this considered, I think retros have increased exponentially in quality from 2006-now, with the majority of that growth occurring after 2014 (along with the price increases, unfortunately).
Retro quality from 99-07 were pretty solid across the board, with a few exceptions
When it was 08-14 the quality was severely compromised. Partially the reason why I slowed down on my sneaker purchases.
From 15-present you see much better quality than years past, no where near what was in the past or what we as consumers deserve. When you price a sneaker at $190, they better be good quality. It seems like JB has raised the prices and put on good quality for some releases and go half-assed for most others. At least we're not seeing the awful quality from 2008-2013
