Lol @ KD quality being nothing compared to Jordans. Quality is the reason I've pretty much stopped buying retro Jordans. Quality on the KDs and all other Nike sigs are far better than Jordans IMO. Not saying it's the best but definitely better than Jordan Brand.
And I don't think $130 is bad, especially with how the sneaker biz is today. People shouldn't rush to pay over retail just yet though. As stated, the Rogues are a "flow" product. Like the Team Orange and Tour Yellow/Blue joints they'll pop up at stores and on sites randomly. There should be enough to go around.

in any case, not sure if this is a glitch but when i click on the blacks on ndc, the Easters show up if you're a size 8.5 - 10... didn't try adding to cart since they're too small for me, but maybe someone will get lukcy

Why do people compare new sneakers to ones that have been retroed two, three, four times?
JB doesn't have quality problems with it's new sneakers. It's the retroes.
When and if KD's, Kobe's and Lebron's start being retroed THEN you can compare the two.

Jordan Brand may not have quality problems with their new model sneakers but they definitely have some style problems.
And I think the reason we compare Nike sigs to Jordan retros is because the retros are the only thing keeping Jordan Brand alive. Style wise, no new Jordan model compares to any current Nike sig.

Shouldn't all JB sneakers be made with good quality and not just the new sigs they put out? That's a dumb excuse for them using cheap pleather on retroes.I hopped off the JB train due to this. KD's, Kobe's, & LeBron's are what JB used to be in terms of quality & design. JB lost it a couple years back for me.

All my recent Kobe's/Lebron's/KD's ALWAYS come with a bunch of little "quality" issues. glue marks everywhere, creasing, paint marks everywhere, etc. Nike could care less about quality at this point...

No, because you're expected to produce an exact replica 20 years later. Only sneakerheads really care about that. From a business standpoint, and Nike/JB are businesses first. The idea is to increase profit margins. Sneakerheads probably account for less than 10% of the people buying sneakers. Are you going to try to appeal to sneakerheads or that 90% that are just happy to have a decent facsmile. Hell, look at how many "sneakerheads" complain but still buy. They will never be able to produce a exact replica, but they could produce better quality, but they don't have to. If sneakerboards were around in 94 when the III's retroed, people would be nitpicking them from the OG's. It's what we do, but most people aren't that concerned.
And it's not an excuse, it's a fact of life. Companies aren't out for your best interest.

Because everyone is hyping up a GR because they are the same color as another shoe.
Not when retail is $95 for a GR. That's a 37% markup.

I think the quality of the KD ivs has been real good. I understand they do not fit everyone's feet, but the construction on the pairs I own is great. I used to buy Jordan's because they had superior quality and the latest technology. Now, they are cheaply made copies of the original with the old technology at almost double the cost of the originals.
