they didn't use cheap, synthetic materials on the toebox to appease those of us that "complain" about creasing. they coud care less. they obviously did it to cut cost.
I'm not sure they "could care less" what customers think about something. Even Nike/Jordan have to be responsive to customers. But sure, I agree costs matter greatly to them and could have been the primary motive.
Not sure if it's common knowledge but the OG playoff 13s had a bit of a stiffer, less creasing leather on the toe box vs other 13s like the black/red.
I've had 2 of og pairs in the last 5 years and the toe boxes held up great with wear vs og/04 black red 13s.
