Everyone complains about the recent lack of quality in the Air Jordan line, (including me). I believe it started with the retro releases from the mid2000's. But it seems like almost all of the recent shoes that JB puts out have low quality leather, including the CP3 models and Melo releases. I am notsure about the 23, as I have not seen this model in person yet. We all complain about it, but we never really get to the bottom of it. There must be a reasonwhy they made the switch to a thinner leather. Most could point to the cheaper cost to build the shoe, but why would they tarnish the reputation of thecurrent signature models? I would think that Melo and CP would request a quality product bearing their name. Could it be a performance feature, for thelighter weight, etc? I know that people from inside the JB organization read and post on here, so let's here it. Is there a legitimate reason?
