I def. agree with you on this. My comment was for overall quality
Well def yea...I mean, we're still buying them and the quality isn't getting better (save for frags and banneds)
Overall quality is not great, for me, especially because most of the time I'm in Balenciaga's or my Tod's boots...
As I get older, I'm appreciating more and more quality over nostalgia and with the JB brand as a whole, I'm OK being more selective with my purchases
To me, these are awesome summer shoes, and I'm getting ready to travel overseas so the leather/pleather will be easy to clean.
I can't see these holding their shape down the road, so I threw my extra size 11 on ebay (and didn't realize HOH stamps their receipts FINAL SALE but it makes sense for resellers)
For the future, I'll snag the Chicago NA 1's and the Bred XI (once again, nostalgia is the capsule that carries memories...)
but other wise I'll be more into SLP's
Some more close up's for those waiting on their eastbay/NDC order
