Poor craftsmanship? There are absolutely nothing wrong with the craftsmanship, all the stitches are exactly the same as the original. Maybe with some glue stain issues but other than that these are about as good as it gets compared to any Retro colorway. People need to realize there's a difference between CRAFTSMANSHIP & QUALITY. Most shoes made in Italy equals craftsmanship & quality, shoes made a China...I assume you get the point. As for balling sneakers, MJ wore a new pair each game so are you saying there was poor craftsmanship then to?

You have to understand that these are retros and the originals were made a decade ago obviously the technology that they put into the shoe is old compared to whats being put into shoes now so you can't compare these to lebrons , kobes ,etc 
Thats  why most people buy retros for causal wear and not to play ball in

Man Houston is crazy... had well over 100 people in line at Willowbrook Mall. Footaction opened at 6am and I was lucky to grab a pair. I thought getting there at about 5 would be alright and I'd cop easy. I almost missed out. Im just glad i got mine and I'll definitely be looking to double up on these as soon as my wallet recovers from these and the royal foams.

Exactly.

Quality depends on the materials used to make the shoe.  Craftsmanship is how well or not that shoe is put together. 

Either way,  hope those that wanted them were able to cop.

i was there for about 8 minutes tops, walked in, got my sz11 and dipped

as long as you went this morning you're good, some sizes may even last til this afternoon

greenspoint didn't open as early tho, i drove past just to see what was good and there were about 150 people outside by cici's pizza

Ya you missed most of the crowd by getting there late. Trust me there were a lot more people there earlier. People even camped out from 1am on. People are crazy.
