Thats a little harsh IMO. You're comparing champion replicas to swingmans which are supposed to be a step up from a replica printed jersey and a step down from a full authentic. They are nothing like the champion replicas of the 80s-90s

Swingmans were never meant to have stitched letters. That's what authentics are for...

Those MJ swingmans are whack. Save a few bucks and get the M&N authentics. Honestly, I've seen better quality fakes from dhgate. The stuff Nike is putting out right now is embarrassing.

Comparing apples to oranges. 2 different price points. Swingmans were never meant to replace authentics.

Compared to the early 00-ish swingmans though the quality on the newer ones are night and day for obvious reasons.

Nothing much as of 4pm. They were putting out some xxxii as I was leaving, didn’t see which. Had those grey 10s that halton had earlier in the week. Mariahs were 130-140 and then 30-40% off, depending on colour.

Hash 40 and clearance clothing 30, but nothing interesting

Are those 10s FSR and 40% off like Halton earlier this week?

Couldn't agree more, if i remember correctly the the early '00 Nike Swingmans were stitched lettering (only on the outer though). I think the authentics back then were thicker materials (dri fit) and the logo and numbering were panel stitched although i never personally owned the authentic given the price point. Although the new Nike jerseys aren't up to par with the old swingmans it's still a nice option to be able to get a legit Jordan jersey that isn't used and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

IMO jerseys were always a pricey acquisition, if we want to complain about quality and price we should start with their tees in my opinion. Standard Nike tees are 30-40+ these days smh

Yeah Swingmans from early days were like a plastic feeling. There were pressed to the material and then given a cross stitching for an added detail. Ive had a jersey where the stiching was coming undone but the letter was intact to the material still. Personally I like the look of the older swingmans from nike with the stitching. But I think the material on the new swingmans are better and softer. It doesn't feel so "scratchy".

I'm pleased to have the new Nike bulls swingman as I have never owned one before. But I really do miss the stitching details!
 
Am I the only one who loves the Champion jerseys? Have a black bulls and blue wizards Jordan. Might have to grab one of these Nike ones if its similar.

Love the glossy mesh of Champion jerseys but i never grabbed them back in the day due to cost and now it's just too hard to find a reasonably priced one that isn't super beat. Anyone remember the reversible/inside out ones?

Anyone been by Uniqlo lately? Was hoping to stop by tomorrow and see if they have any plushies left.

Uniqlo IG posted everything sold out a couple days ago... and specifically stated they will restock the tshirts soon
Didn’t mention anything about plushes
 
other than kijiji and ebay.

anywhere else I can locate Nike Dunks ? ( without paying the flight club premium)
 
hey all, i know this questions been answered probably millions of times but where's a good place to get pockets sewn into basketball shorts? Specifically Mitchell and Ness? Been trying to find someone's answer but can't find how far back it was lol
