Seems like some people that are posting aren't being realistic, these are NIKE JORDANS, not Mason Martin Margellia, not Louboutin, and not even Y-3. Even if you check out the prices for domestic made New Balances, there quite high. I own a few pairs, some are very nice, others are so-so and about equal to my Jordan BOB that I picked up last week. These are mass produced, over-seas in areas that aren't glamorous and aren't known for there craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is what it is. To keep the pricing down and for Nike to make its intended profit, those are the circumstances. Most are satisfied with the first 5 remastered sneakers, for the extra 5$ to 15$ or whatever the exact increase was (we don't have a direct comparison and prices were naturally gonna increase) we have gotten plush/softer leather, thicker cuts of leather, increased attention to detail, better molds and fit. Unless we opt for a major increase, 50-75$ more at a minimum in pricing, this is what we will continue to receive. The 4's are my favorite silhouette so I have a few pairs laying around for comparison. My Toros feel like cardboard and the red dye has bleed on occasion. My Fear 4's are insanley dope, but the neubuck is so garbage and thin, and the hairs so short, u get scratches, marks, blemishes that u cant brush out. There fragile. My white/cement 4s feel like plastic, I love the simplicity of the shoe and the other way but its sheer garbage. So these Oreo 4s, while not perfect, are pretty damn nice. the cuts of the leather is almost twice that of the white cement. They feel durable, the tumbled leather unblemished, and though I smell the faint smell of glue I don't see any on the midsole/sole. overall I'm a happy customer. I don't know, certainly some of you got some bad pairs, and you have the right to be upset but I think that is the exception. if we want higher quality than this, there will be consequence. Either pay (alot) more for one of the luxury brands that I mentioned, or be ready for more expensive sneakers in smaller quantity that are extremely hard to get a hold of and because of circumstance will exclude most of the customers that would like to purchase. and even if you opt for the luxury brands you will still occasionally encounter imperfections.
