I could say it started as soon as 2007, but it felt like it was really going down the drain after all those countdown packs released in 2008.

It's an on and off thing I think...

The retro that comes to mind that actually used that good sh** was the French,Flint, and Playoff XIIs...

And they used good leather on the CDP XIII's, surprisingly. All the Retro XII's from 2004-2005 had terrific grain leather.

Thanks for the update, I don't know how my life would've gone on without it.












Don't like 'em, don't buy 'em. It's easier than complaining.

I'll probably get flamed for this but I think it's cool they don't use animal products as much. That being said, yes they should charge less for not using premo-leather.

 Good One! Well when you dont wear your J's, you have to get your satisfaction from the smell and looks, so I could see why many people dont like "pleather." If they are not ripping and creasing, im fine with whatever makes a good looking shoe.
