But i guess if you only wear j's casually, creasing can be a problem.




on a side note, i dont get why ppl dont buy from eastbay more often............these are almost sold out on FNL, yet still plenty to go around on eastbay. Do ppl just genuinely like to pay more?

Yes surprisingly.  Most of the time as I remember retro Js sold out quickly on eastbay.  Hmmm?!

Oh sorry~~~ I should have say it clearly..not all. most of the Js. The space jams and the 25th XIs did tho. The XII were like the 2s underrated.

im glad i passed on these.... got my powders on the way

 

[Jumanji]

i had to go to three different stores to get these in a smaller size... good thing they ran a little big

I've never tried on a pair of II's before these and I must say that these have the best cushioning from any recent retros I-X imo. The toe box, on the other hand, feels a bit rough and uncomfortable. I've worn mine a couple of times and Ive only noticed creasing on the inner part of the toe. I can't compare them with the 04's, but it's a solid shoe nonetheless.

And the only thing I dislike on it is they laces way too long~

[lebanesesneakerfiend]

[airberg]

[upandcoming32]

ALWAYS the same bs on NT, or atleast the jb forum. quality this. quality that. you can NOT compare re-retros to older releases,in this case to 04 retro or OGs. cant wait to get my pair in. thans again bro. paying under $100 on launch FTW

if i like em that much,might pick up a twin to throw in rotation

powders are next

cant wait to hearin the itchin and moaning when those "officially" drop

 

[balloonoboy]

I'm surprised as well that these are selling out.

I still will wait until they get to around $100. These aren't worth the inflated price.

Sorry JB.

[rauls054]

its funny how almost everybody on complaining about the quality and you know how it is.just be frank and say you dont have the $ to copp.its always the same i cant wait to get on the players price or in the outlets please if you dont like the quality dont comment more than once.you comment like 10 times it is what it is nobody is forceing you to buy.im a og head but what more can you expect if you dont like dont buy its as simple as that smh.i bought these and i have the 04s

 

[agent0024]

^

he killed 'em....

But, the only thing about it is.... i WILL get these from the outlets or on sale or whatever. Name of the game is to never pay retail, so you can't complain about quality when you score on the disco.

I agree with rauls to an extent, but I think people just complain a lot about quality cuz they pay retail.... or above.

That on its own is enough to complain about.

 

[bigj505]

i didnt know dudes were mad about the quality of these. pics looked fine to me. then again, im not a jordan 2 type of person.
saw these on the shelf today and could get on disc but not on my to-do list at all.

Can you please shut that crap up. I'm a grown #!$ man with a house and car. Some people actually are selective about what they decide to spend their hard earned money on. If I wanted to give money to charity, I'll donate it. The reason Jordan Brand continues to put out crappy quality, is because of fools like you who continue buy it. They don't have to. Who are just happy to have a sneaker. And that's why you'll continue to get crap. Just like a female who chooses to be with a boyfriend who treats her poorly, but loves him anyway. That's why you're treated like a witch, and all you get are increased prices and dwindling quality. So you'll get sneakers that used to be b grades in the 90's as an actual release. Thank ya missa Jordan for my sneakers. You're paying for them. You're putting food on the employees at JB/Nike's tables.

Would you buy a car that wasn't reliable and broke down on you frequently? And you knew it prior to buying them?

Sneakers aren't going to be the same as they used to be? Really, well how come New Balance, Reebok and Adidas can get it right? I bet you JB couldn't even retro a pair of 23's correctly. I'd put money on it. Two year old sneakers.

I'm still trying to figure out why some of you complain about people complaining? Do you work for Nike? Did you design the sneaker? Then why do you care? Get your little pleather sneakers and be happy with your purchase %%@% because all you're doing is complaining about people complaining, and I'm not staying silent for anyone, so kill that.

 

[keepemclean23]

i dont EVER complain about the quality of jordans but my boy copped these yesterday and we went to a boxing match at the casino last night we were running late so he said can you lace em up real quick for me and just from holding em the leather was stiff and felt like pleather i had on the anniversary 2's and i feel like they were done up WAY better than this CW and i will add that by the end of the night my boy was complaining how the inside part of the toe box was already creased to hell just my 2 cents
