Give/Show examples of the decline of quality in Jordan retros...

[bossplayaz45]

The fact that back in the day you could wear your jordans heavily for a couple weeks before they started to crease but now when you pull your Ds shoe out the box they re alredy creased says it all

^ 80's and 90's they used quality leather and quality leather creases. check an old school pair of AF1's creasing in the toes for me means that the shoe is real/original.

Lol, that's what I'm saying.  My shoes got beat to hell when I was growing up.  IMO the only reason I notice every single little flaw now is because I actually keep an eye out for them.  Really don't think I was checking for glue stains when I was 14.

retros are for casual wear. thats how people defend the quality cuZ they aint for hoop'n, so no need for them to be durable. smh but that still dont explain the price, it just dont add up.



for the record it is great retro quality on some models but i would take any og early model release over any retro.

how are the playoff 13's bad? I saw them in person... but they aren't that bad. in fact they're pretty well made actually.
I initially thought that the cool greys looked bad in pics... but in person I was really shocked, they are one of the better
released retros in the past couple of years...
