I've had my foot directly stepped on multiple times, I look down expecting to see a big streak of black across the white and they have yet to show a single sign of wear. Sure theres minor creasing, but how can you not expect leather to do this with repetative motion of bending your foot when you run? Not only are they light weight, the base of the shoe is really springy, which I believe has to do with the carbon fiber base that MJ lives by.
I finally got a size up in the XI and I will be breaking those out soon. I'll keep everyone posted.
I'm glad you're wearing yours to play ball. I think there are a lot of people who post about quality issues because they see that's what everyone else is doing. I've owned or still own OG 11's and 12's as well as retros of the same model. My OG blk/rd 12's are a half size small. I also have a pair of OG taxi's that have loose thread in several spots. My 11's are also in no way "perfect" either. To address your tech question, the "springy" feeling is the zoom air. The carbon fiber plate is what keeps the shoes rigid under your midfoot. Once you do break out your 11's, know that it's not gonna feel "springy" like zoom, but there is a full length air bladder for impact protection. Also, I think you're really gonna be impressed with the lockdown feel of the 11's. Lace them bad boys up nice and tight and to the top, and you're good to go.

I didn't resell mine. I copped a pack about a week before release for $340 straight and a pack for my niece (Christmas gift) and even thoughI've yet to wear mine, I don't plan on reselling.Originally Posted by dirtyxcanto
