Yeah...for all of the price increases the quality has continued to decline.
I don't think 2024 will get better so I'll be purchasing less.

To quote the philosopher Ryu…the answer lies within
Mine too. But they look so different than the other pairs I got. But sadly SNS is going back to DSG lol.

Hit the trifecta boys .... LNM from Nike, LN4 from Champs ship to home, and the dreaded SZ from SNS . I'll just wear the yellow bottoms to the gym. I'm curious to see how all versions hold up going forward.

It’s all the same, no one factory is better, it doesn’t matter if it’s LNM of SZ

Anyone with a yellow soles pair want to dump them for retail? I have a pair but would like to own both colored soles.

I don't mind creases. but it baffles me seeing pairs that are already creased "badly" even before you get the chance to wear them.

OCD? you kiddin right? people complain more about way more ridiculous things like boxes and paper used on the shoe.

It’s always been worth 125 just inflation and popularity brought price up

Not factory but Nike with the materials factory only glues them together
As an owner of a pristine LNM pair, I would say these are worth every penny. The increased retail price came with superior materials and also cut out the resellers from hoarding several pairs to flip.
If these were $125 you better believe people would’ve bought several pairs and sold them for $200+ themselves.
On the other hand if you received a low quality pre-creased pair then I also understand why these aren’t worth the increased retail price.

I have the 2016 XI PEs, 2018 Concord XI, 2019 black/red XI, 2021 Cool Grey XI and wore them a few times and none have creasing that bad or as as noticeable as the these (Gratitude XIs) that with one wear they look so bad compared to past releases.
and no need to point out the obvious 2000 Concords & 2001 Space Jams those took forever to have creases that were actually noticeable .
With all that being said i feel like returning these new gratitudes for a refund.
( i have never complained about creases ....but for it to happen out of the box or after one wear i know something is wrong.)

I thought folks posted SZN vs LNM befo?
SZN stands for seasoning. Dispelling the stigma that Europeans don’t season their food.

Looks like my 6th pair was stolen.
Fedex delivered with signature required and someone named JJG signed for it.
Checked my cameras and the truck drove in and then left.

I notice the direct correlation between resell/availability and quality concerns
Patent leather only slightly thinner than any other Retro 11.

*Edit…acceptable concerns I mean
