Never said creasing was a quality issue, but that suede would retain the shape better, evidenced by the Varsity Red VI. As for the shape, the 2007 just didn't look right. It may be a preference issue, but I'm use to the shape of the 2000s. At the end of the day, it's ultimately your choice. The suede pair just looks more supple, albeit the slightest bit ashy.Originally Posted by FrenchBlue23
Since when is creasing a quality issue problem??
Shoes aren't supposed to crease anymore?
And what was wrong with the shape??
The toe box was long on the OG's, a bit shorter on the 2000's, and long again with the 2007's.

No it wasn't.
It was paper thin, compared to the 2000s. I sold all my 07s after a few wears and kept flipping into new pairs to keep fresh. Ain't have to do that with 2000s, until they just yellowed to hell.
But all of this is expected, with products with a "jumpman" on the back from Jordan Brand post 00 now. Reason IF I pay, its never no where near MSRP.

After watching that video... i'ma have to say it
But the 11's > 00's/07's because of the suede
(suede > nubuck/dura in this instance). They look
buttery soft in that one; you can spread it over your
favorite slice of toast for that matter.
(if not, i'll give you something you can spread)
They will hold up very well and with the blue tint,
stalled yellowage process. Y'all gotta trust me
on that one.
And if you don't believe me... skeet on me.
Squeeze me.

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.
OF COURSE THE 2000'S WERE BETTER THAN THE 07'S. I DON'T THINK ANYONE IN HERE IS ARGUING THAT.
WHETHER THE 2011'S ARE BETTER THAN THE 07'S IS STILL UP IN THE AIR BUT FROM WHAT I'M SEEING, IMO, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YES.

^^ I think the jury is still out for the lack of 3M. Little to no 3M would make or break many decisions.

QFT.
I WAS SO DISAPPPOINTED WITH THE 2010'S FLINTS AND THE LACK OF 3M THAT I BOUGHT THEM TO USE AS BEATERS. IF THE TONGUE IS THE SAME AS THE FLINTS THEN THESE WILL MEET THE SAME FATE.
