Bro I'm with you. I was just talking about this the other day. Between the 5 pairs of X's that I own, I've worn them dozens of times and after light cleaning they still look new. Hardly any noticeable wear at all. Guys complain on here all the time because of the switch to synthetic materials but I look at my 7's sometimes and SMH at the creases and those stupid stretch marks they get on the toe.

I love the fact that I can beat these shoes with very little worry and they still look great.
I'll cosign that bandwagon as well. I have 5 pairs of 4's, 2 pairs of 5's, 10 pairs of 7's, 10 pairs of 8's, 12 pairs of 9's, and currently 13 pairs of X's with 2 iD's and prob the Crimson and Home Elite on their way.
I love all of them all but I wear the 9's and 10's the most because the care is super easy. And for me the cushioning in each pair feels the same to be, but that's me.
In the beginning of the X cycle people complained about materials and price. But at the same time with cork, denim, and suede cats are READY to drop 250+ on shoes, that even if they look great etc, are most likely not going to be as durable as the Hyperfuse versions, but to each their own. If you like it, buy it. But let's be real about some of the numbers ya'll throw around...Corks for 900 sheckles and what not

So that's better than some 180 tanks?? Price is price but if I"m paying almost 2 bills for kicks they better well LAST. And so far my X's all are pristine after multiple wears and hoop sessions in certain CW's.
Same with the Elites...do I like the price hike? Not really, but if I want them and I don't think they'll be around long enough for a sale, I will be copping Homes and Crimson and will be doing an Elite iD as well. Right not, I don't feel like parting with $280 for Homes, when last year I copped Homes on RD and was able to find later on for substantially less. Hopefully that story will repeat itself.
Again, if you like it, buy it. If you like it but can't afford? Save for it... If I like it I'll buy it... Hell I have a pair of the Nike Mags from the MJF auctions because I grew up watching those flicks and those were a once in a lifetime pair to own. Is what it is guys....BTW...this is all MY OPINION
