The last 5 pairs of Jordans I have purchased (White Cement 3s, Playoff 13s, Bordeaux 7s, and recently , Lime Green 2011s, and True Blue 3s) have all come with atleast a scrape, scuffs, or glue marks. Now I know that the quality of JB lately has been up and down, but in my opinion, there's a differance between the quality of materials used, and a shoe just being poorly produced. There is nothing more frustrating than cracking the box open on a fresh pair of Jordans, and realizing that they are scraped already out of the box. My True Blues were scraped, the paint looked cheap, and the shoe actually smelled like paint. My Bordeaux 7s looked like they were held together at every seam by 8lbs of glue. Has JB gotten so bad that all we can really do is just accept that this is how it is, and walk around with a scuffed up sneaker that came like that? Back in the 90s when I fell in love with Jordans, every pair I ever laid eyes on was in perfect condition. There were never any defects right out of the box. Is it just my bad experiences, or are other people having this same problem?
Also, all of these purchases have all been online from either Finishline or Eastbay, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? Thoughts?
(P.S....I'm sorry if this is a rant, but I just felt the need to get my thought out there, and see what other's thought)
