Don't know how dudes can exhaust their energy into whining and nitpicking, instead of using that energy to get off the computer and return them, or get another pair.  

The whining is getting ridiculous in here, and I'm so glad TheShoeKing23 posted those OG's to shut the mouths of the people who think JB quality was so picture perfect back in the days, when they were not.   

Yes things, shapes and materials have changed, but Originals were not as perfect as you think. 

How about learning to inspect your pairs before buying and posting on NT that you got a crooked jumpman or a volcano of glue stains.  

That's your own fault for not checking them.

The glue is really a no issue. Great retro. Enjoy your pair and quit worrying about the glue.

Hell no, I make everyone in line wait.  I don't care, I'm spending my $160, you're gonna have to wait to see if I like them, and if I don't, go to the back and get me another pair.

The only complaint I got is the paint on the sole is f'd, not like anyone is going to see the bottom. The white comes off of the pods and spills into the red ridiculously on one pair. I know this is an issue and I even compared 2 different pairs and got the best pair. The other pair had defects on the leather. Quality just isn't what it use to be, but the nostalgic means just that much more to me.

I passed cause I didn't like the look of the leather...and the price.  Need to be 100% satisfied to pay 175.  

But this glue thing people are talking about is hilarious.  Visible glue was very common on OGs.  Had 3 pair.

Glue stains are not even a problem for me, it's those times when the toe box looks like it went through hell.

Like I mentioned above, the only thing I look for is scratches, messed up toe box, bad paint job, scuffs etc.. 
Glue stains, not so much.
