(paper thin leather thickness, very little padding in tongue, creases and gets beat ALOT faster than og's/retroes...
for those whove owned all three shoes og, retro, cdp molds understand whatim saying. J.B step ur game up b4 all your loyal customers leave your +@* ! lol
C'mon fam. Ya'll should know better than that already. How many years has it been since JB has decided to cheapen up on the quality and ya'll onhere still saying the same thing?
JB gets away with whatever they feel like getting away with simply because ya'll still give them their $. You know, and Jordan Brand knows, but mostimportantly YOU, as in the loyal consumer, knows that talk is cheap and so is Jordan Brand products. But until you stop getting on these shoe forum boardshyping the next cheap quality retro up and giving them reason to purposely ditch us on quality materials the worse it's gonna become..
Jordan Brand owns you. Yes, I do purchase JB shoes, and have noticed the drop in quality but I only buy what I need. I have only copped one single pair ofJordans this year, and that is the Nubuck XII's and I haven't even put my foot in them all year..
But we all know what it is with this company...stop the bickering..year after year..you people complain constantly..YET..you don't do nothing about it.
