I really thought at 175 that all the parts that are leather on the shoe would be leather. Nope, the whole tongue, toe box, and heel area behind the plastic tab and around it are still pleather.

what a blanket statement. i guess ignorance is bliss. hey, accept mediocrity if you want. i'll keep on passing on mediocrity and keep the $175 plus tax in my pocket. i'd hate to see your girlfriend or wife since you accept mediocrity.Originally Posted by MrWavez

i won't keep beating a dead horse in this thread about the quality. i know there are a lot of people happy about these shoes and that's fine. all i'm saying as a person who's first jordan was in 1985, it's hard for me to even buy this garbage anymore. i don't expect perfection, but i do want a quality product. i was more than happy with the banned 1's. i just don't understand how they can make a shoe like the banned 1's, then turn around and sell a piece of fake garbage like the black cement 3. i can vividly remember buying my OG fire red 3's and the rand around the shoe was a nice leather, not a cheap piece of vinyl like the 2011 black cements. paint chipping problems? not on my OG 3's when i ran them into the ground. i would've NEVER passed on the 2011 black cements if they would've done them right. i mean, the great retros of the past will eventually breakdown and all we will be left with are these pleather shoes. i just think it's a d@mn shame...but this is coming from a guy who remembers the feeling of buying an OG jordan, opening the box, smelling the real leather come from the box, and being happy i just bought a pair of the best sneakers on the market. maybe it's time i just get out of the whole thing. anyway, i'm happy for all of you that are happy with these. in no way am i trying to ruin the party. hope all who want them can find them.Originally Posted by optimusp517
The honest truth is quality has gone down. JB most likely did a leather blend mixture where it's not fully leather like a 2001 version would be and this probably has started for a few years now. Honestly if you're going to wear the shoes there's not much more to look at. No one is going to get on their knees and stare at your shoes and examine it when they look at it. I mean you can still tell which pairs are new and which are the retro, but if you wear them who cares. If you want JB to step up their quality the sneakerworld will need a movement. The only movement I can think is that we boycott the releases. NO ONE BUYS, but that's impossible cause not all consumers are sneakerheads like us. People will still buy. As for me as long as the shoes look good and has no major flaws and they're COMFORTABLE I'm fine with them.
