I posted over on the Motorsports forum about my going through 7 or 8 pairs of them trying to find a decent pair. Something I genuinely feel you should not have to do on a $190 pair of shoes. I mean I have $50 pairs of Nikes i have bought from DSWand the outlets that are put together better. But the Motorsports really have cemented my desire to no longer buy "retro Jordans". After seeing the issues I had with trying to find an acceptable pair of the IV Motorsports and a friend of mine pointing out how I should pull my second pair of 2013 V's out of the box and give them some love before the new ones I explained how I still have plenty of life in my current '13 Vs I have been wearing. But I will be honest... the V's in 1990 were my very first pair of Jordans and I also bought the 2000 release as well. But for some reason I really don't like wearing the 2013 model. I finally figured out why. It is simply not the same shoe. I pulled out my 2000 pair and put them on one foot and the 2013 pair on the other foot. They fit completely different and even look different. Besides the fact of course that the 2000s were still durabuck compared to leather. The 2013 is a big, blocky shoe. The width from the toe all the way through the mid section is just chunky. The ankle is way over stuffed and the shoe itself is simply heavier. I am going to end up putting my second pair up on ebay here soon after I do a little video showing the differences.
Why does the Jordan brand not make retros like the originals? I don't get it. I really would like to hear other opinions from people.
