Nope, I was not complaining. Was just curious as to what those "creases" turn out to be with wear. As you said, they dont appear like a crease, more like pocket of air underneath the leather. I'm all for lovely creasing, especially on my 13 shadows, horween new balance's etc.

It's not a pocket
Down the line it won't turn into anything of concern. My cyber mondays came creased way worse than that on the inside panel.
I'm sure there's a pic in the thread somewhere because I remember posting it.
It's not gonna affect the shoe since down the line even if it's smooth it's gonna eventually crease with wear and tear

yeah I am thinking they put some type of film over the crappy side panel leather to color/protect it, and somehow air got trapped inside so it's not smooth
to me it's a sign of really low quality leather

it is a pocket though. you can even push it in and deflate it.
it's hard to tell in Rabmo's pic but look at NikeOtaku's above, you can see it better.

That Ua crap came along when people were saying the same factory that made authentics made extras that the shoe company didnt know about.

Yes.
But tell me when complaints and returns are related again?
People complain all the time, almost everyday. But folks don't return something almost everyday.

Thats all valid, but the leather was leather, back in the 80's and 90's, now one issue gets a great leather (Cyber Monday lll's) and almost all the rest get the plastic, crap synthetic leather. I can live with glue stains, smudges and the rest of the imperfections, because that was common in the past, but materials man, materials have to be as close as possible to the original. They dont even care anymore, another example, releasing the Jumpman Pro, not only its a plastic leather, but shamelessly they put a fake colored TPU plates instead of the real carbon fiber, why even bother releasing this kinda of a version, when you know even the few people that love the models will not going to buy it because of that.

minor complaints are one thing, but youve got people acting as if the quality isnt something weve come to expect from JB and its as bad as the TB3 release where there were alot of returns
"major" quality issues and returns go hand in hand

The TB release cannot be compared to "quality issues". There was one simple answer, cost. Folks didn't want to choke down that 220 pill, 250 with tax. So they found any little imperfection to return the product. Sure, if they released at 160, there would be little to no complaints and far few returns.

You're wrong. All of the Air Jordan 1s I own have been purchased thru resell and around the $300 mark so price has nothing to do with it. I have no problem purchasing what I like if I'm not deceived. Now if all the issues had of been disclosed before I purchased then it's my fault if I buy after the fact for twice the price. Like BabyJ stated I need to buy from eBay so I can make sure I get the shoes pictured which is what I will be doing from now on.

Price has everything to do with it. You have no one to blame but yourself paying resell prices.
Look at Dunk prices. The msrp is low, and diehards "wait" for them to hit the sales racks. Why!? They know, the quality isn't there, nor the craftsmanship. But do they complain when they catch them on the low? No.

I agree, at the same time we aren't forced to purchase anything. We can always find the old shoes or find others with better materials. The power of the buyers is strong, they just have to be strong enough to quit buying or accept what changes have been made. It would be different if they were labeling it falsely.

yall would have a heart attack if you seen some of the creases that come on those European designer shoes

TB III had A LOT of issues.
People spent the money and sent them back. You're reasoning for the retail price makes no sense because a lot paid that price but actually returned them because of crappy QC and what not

Sometimes I wonder why Nike is making so much trash nowadays when they could have just focused on quality and craftsmanship while slimming down the line-up. I guess that's greed and more money to be had with pumping out more trash from the 3rd world.
