sad thing is the cdp's had horrible quality lol. i still wear my og blk/wht 13s and the quality is amazing. idk if i want to buy these man. i really love these but looking at this pic makes me rethink it. they look like fakes.....i could buy for about $75 and i'm still not sold. pathetic @ jb
CDP 13s are not horrible quality just stop with that nonsense. I don't see glue marks on my pair or other flaws. The white perforated leather upper is smooth and the black suede feels great. Stop bashing newer releases just because you have a pair of OG's, we get it already your fly.

exactly he probly just says that about all cdp shoes like alot of ppl do that probly don't own them. truth is yes a fair amount of cdp shoes were just filler and made poorly, but a good amount of them had better quality than we are getting today frankly.

What is resale on these looking like? Im thinking of pulling the trigger at $240 to cop early. I was able to pick up the black and red He Got Games AFTER rd for $200 on CL. You guys think these will be the same?

Just because you didn't have the good quality ones doesn't mean you can't tell when something is bad quality. I can compare my retros to my kamikazes and they aren't nearly as comfortable/durable

yeah more than a couple since 5th grade i've owned a pair and i'm in my late twenties now so i think i should be able to tell the decline in craftsmanship & material quality through out the yrs.i remember when the materials were so good there wasn't nothing soap & a toothbrush couldn't fix.

This has been discussed in every thread on NT for the last 5 yrs. Obviously retro quality is not up to par with the ogs. But atleast the retros are wearable. JB knows they can cut costs and lower the quality and still sell out instantly. So why would they even bother?

My guess would be the quality issue gets brought up by so many people at a ridiculously redundant rate because that's the "cool" thing to do within the culture to let other "sneakerheads" know you were around when the quality was better, you're not new to this here "sneaker game" LMAO!
My thing is don't you look like the biggest fool by constantly buying shoes at increased prices despite you being well aware and knowledgable that the quality is "inferior" to a shoe that was cheaper in the past?
The complaining actually accomplishes the opposite of what "sneaker players" intend for it to do...

I don't understand why people complain about quality on jordans like its on a constant loop for every release. If you're not gonna get it then don't complain about the quality it's not like we are completely oblivious to this

The constant rants on quality is becoming redundant. If you feel a shoe, JB or any other company, isn't worth the asking price then don't buy it. How hard is that to understand. People complain and then act like a JB rep put a gun to their head and made them purchase the shoe. If you buy a shoe in store and still complain about the quality the blame is on you not the company. I've seen people buy a shoe in store and say the quality is horrible when holding it in hand but will buy it anyway.

What's wrong about people voicing their opinions if they have solid argument? That's what message boards are here for. If the quality isn't there, your right, you shouldn't buy. However, you should be allowed to speak your mind. The minority that recollect when Jordan's were produced with thee upmost integrity are still disappointed that they can't get an accurate portrayal of their favorite past shoes. They can't get the older retros because they're expensive, unwearable, or uncomfortable due to time. So all thats left is venting. Food for thought.
