We can definitely agree to disagree, there were more than a couple people that posted pictures of 88s that were crappy quality but the grand majority of us in the thread had great pairs.

Just wondering why you asked, I think people think that because I have a lot of shoes that are DS it must mean I don't wear my shoes. The problem is that I live in chicago and outside of going to the gym I really only have 7-8 months(timberlands and acg boots in the winter) a year to wear sneakers but shoes still get released all winter long.

this.. the glue smell was epic. lol
'88 quality was no better than the other Retro 3's that have come out before it. Only difference was the horrific glue smell on the 88's.

Lol so much hate on the FR 3s. I love my pair. A lil stiff when I first bought em but after a few wears they broke in and feel great. Super comfortable. Can't wait to unDS these. Only other pair that quickly went on feet were my LM 1s

And I think this just goes to show that the quality of the shoe isn't consistent across every single pair. As someone pointed out, numerous people complained about the quality of the 88's. I wasn't on this forum at the time, but a quick search can show people still complaining now. Whereas i've heard terrible things about the FR3's, but I think mine are great, and i've never had an issue.

That's the reason I asked.(the amount DS)
Some of my shoes won't even get back in rotation after the first wear. I normally don't hold on to them if I don't wear them though. Get a wild hair and dump or give them away.
I mostly regret it always, too

Weird... Finally checked my shipping update from FNL and saw that its already out for delivery. I picked their standard 5-7 days shipping, which I don't usually receive until Friday here in Cali. UPS must have accidentally throw it in with the 2-3 days shipment.

I always get my shipments on Wednesdays when I order from FNL, my pair will be here tomorrow from FTL.
Its crazy everyone thinks that 88's were so premium b/c of the $199 price tag. The leather on the 88's seem like all the other 3's to me including my WC 3's and Infrared 3's. JB had that $199 price ONLY b/c of the nostalgic appreciation. Pretty much all retros with "Nike Air" on the back will be more expenisve than the other retros.

Please tell them again!!! The quality comparison talk is spreading like a virus in this thread... My 88's are virtually no different from any other 3's I have. The $200 was for the "nike air" people wake up and realize what's going on. JB is a well oiled machine

managed to cop a size 10 off that small Eastbay "restock" earlier. Now the waiting game. Usually about 1 in 3 of my "restock" orders from Eastbay get cancelled.

95% of this jb forum nowadays is sadly now hype beasts..they charged a premium price for 88s so I can see them giving a slight upgrade on quality.. Why not
