They look good, but the materials are shit and they aren't particularly comfortable, right? I've only bought sixes, tho. What about he others?

i only wear ones

but i have no issue with them but then again, i aint no hypebeast either.

You look at the stuff from the early and mid 2000s, it's pretty true to the original and the new colors, for a while, actually had *better* materials than the originals (e.g. Laney 5, navy 1, burgundy 5, Olympic 6, etc).

By 2010 things had really slipped and ultimately got really bad. They didn't put the same air units in the last round of OG 11 colors and the gamma blues, for example. Lots of spotty quality on the uppers and what not. Missing details like the 3M on the black/red 13s.

Now they are doing this "remastered" thing but you'd think the idea would be an improvement on the original but instead they are kind of between the spotty quality and the top quality. The price keeps going up though.

Let's not romanticize the originals too much either, on a lot of them they used pretty cheap leather though not as junky as some of the retros.

The thing I would like to see is a marriage of the old styles and the current performance technology. Imagine all the classic Js, reworked with improved fit (nothing crazy, no visible Flywire or anything and still leather/nubuck) and unlocked Zoom, flight plates, Air Max insoles and other stuff they have used recently. That would be amazing to me. But there is a purist streak against that, even though they issue ugly ass hybrids of Js all the time and do exactly what I am talking about with the Air Max line every year.

But for the most part yea. At least with the 3s and 4s. Both of those the paint started peeling on the midsole. All my 5s have held up well tho. I never fuked with the 6s even tho the maroons about to drop look crispy.

For the paint flaking on my fire red threes from around 2006

in some cases good some cases eh

but a lotta these sh1ts is skippers....IMO

that $200 w/ tax price make me do a loooooot of reconsidering before i make that payment.

if them shits was $150 i'd be buying up every damn release. so it's probably better that way lmao.

especially 11s and 13s
1,3,5,9 and 10s are the best quality because of build and construction

i think they threw some marketing behind that as well but they also increased their prices i believe


its crazy but i pretty much will buy any 6 or 11 this month is crazy for me

*to play ball in at least. Particularly those patent leather ones ('95/'96 era... I think that's XI).

My feet hurt like hell after every damn game. But I looked good tho.

The material looks terrible
I saw the cp3 13s online and was slightly interested
But when i saw them in finish line I wasn't impressed

Considering a yr ago i bought the black 13s

It's a money grab for Jordan at this point
The 7s were always the most comfortable out of all of them imo

LOLs...

fk outta here

im a grown ass man!
wear what i like!


lol

Jordans are not comfy. but throw on some padded elite socks and ankle braces, you're good.
