Def remember getting free replacement shoes from Nike if there was quality issues. People used to stick pins in they're air bubbles and get free pairs, lol. Idk about JB being the "Benz" of shoes tho.
Nike still do free replacements...last time I used it was late Nov 2012. If they don't have the shoe, they give a product voucher.
The only thing I like better about the CDP's is the insole. I also think this is the nicest Jordan box (general release) since 2000 or 2001 (I've never had boxes older than that). Definitely sturdier than the 3 and 4 boxes from the last few years. My pair was perfect and I thought well made. JMO
this was in reply to stevesteve72
"To the people that have these and the CDP's which one is better ?"
I think the quality on the new release is better. I've only had a few CDP's, and the 5's and 2's are unbelievably bad IMO. The 13's, on the other hand, are pretty nice. Go figure...Is the quality pretty much the same?
must not be looking too hardstill cant find a sz 13 smh
No I understood the analogy. Problem with that logic is that you can still find and drive an 80s Mercedes. You cannot however, find a wearable OG air jordan from the 80s. Other than the 1s
I just checked my Nike "Primetime" deion sanders from last year, the white leather they used on those was perfect.. no excusesNo I understood the analogy.

please tell me what nike shoe they called prime time... i know deion nickname was primetime none of his shoes or the nicknames were and i know deion but yea i get ur point just pointing out the flaw in your commentI just checked my Nike "Primetime" deion sanders from last year, the white leather they used on those was perfect.. no excusesYou're gunna tell me they can use higher quality white leather on that for $119 but for $160 we get this pleather!?
I wasn't referring to the shoe being named that, rather the athlete it was named after. But regardless, look at my pics above. For $119 I bought those shoes that had better leather than these for $160 (in 2012). So all the arguments about the cost of leather, shipping, etc.. why can they do it on those shoes and get it done right?please tell me what nike shoe they called prime time... i know deion nickname was primetime none of his shoes or the nicknames were and i know deion but yea i get ur point just pointing out the flaw in your comment

That just adds to the theory that JB was hearing complaints about previous retros and decided to come with a stiffer LEATHER on this release. Go back a couple of pages and you'll see the references to this material as a poly coated thin leather. JB is more concerned with maximizing every dime with retro releases, especially on a release with not so much hype.I wasn't referring to the shoe being named that, rather the athlete it was named after.

Great pic
subpar materials but flawless
im 34 and cosign this.
ive never agreed with the economic and marketing types trying to justfy poor quality and materials.
matter of fact i loathe the mind that that cant think outside the box thinking this is the ONLY way it can be.
on paper it makes all the sense in the world to continue to cheap out on your customers to maximize profits but not all compnies work that way. in fact many companies become successful doing just the opposite. (Amazon, Zappos, etc.)
...to the guy laughing at Nike/Jordan's being the Benz of shoes must not have been around at the time because that statement was nothing but the truth. it may not be now, but it once was.
typically though, i dont complain to often about materials and quality. it has to be pretty bad, like the Flu Games
Any tips on keeping these clean?
