lol cause you're actually wrong. This topic was spoken about already in detail with "OG heads" saying their passing on this release because of the plastic tips, which is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of in my life.lol cause they are actually metal. @kamuekcmo was right when I asked him earlier about it. So that will at least speak for the quality (IMO) and appease some OG heads at least a little bit even though leather isn't completely the same.
lol agreed it is one of the most dumbest things I have ever heard in my life. But I'm sure they will be metal and y'all could quote me and call me out if they aren't and I'll admit it if I'm wrong.lol cause you're actually wrong.

these will prob be a lot harder to cop than today's Laney V release I'll tell u that
+1@quise2024
True.
@GrizzlyAnimal
Details matter to me
Besides nothing else to talk about.Just confirming it should be metal
Heard the exact same thing before the Laney release... "This Laney's will be harder to cop than the Black Tongue 5...!"
If this is mass produce like the Laneys, it shouldn't be that hard to cop...
lol it's all good fam, I took it as a joke. JB and their quality has been sometimes.. But staying true to OGs for once and putting metal instead of plastic shows at least JB isn't screwing up this one as bad. Even if it doesn't mean a visual difference, it's still a quality difference. That's why it's a big thing for me details wise lol^ relax little fella it's just a joke
edit: @geraldg2309
i feel you man, but we should all know how jb does things nowadays..
Remember one thing, cost of materiel since the OG ones were released has probably risen by 200% which is why the Quality of shoes aren't what they used to be.lol it's all good fam, I took it as a joke.

Cost of materials you say, not really, more like the hype spectrum. Materials used today are far worst than the one used 20 years a go, and not to mention that they moved all the production from Korea, Taiwan (far, far more quality orientated countries when it comes to production and execution of a product) to China and Vietnam.I know cost of material has something to do with the quality of these retro releases.

Have you gone to any restaurants lately like Fridays or Chilies etc. 10 years ago those places had outstanding food which was fresh and affordable. Now those places have crappy foods and charge more.

There's no doubt that greed has something to do with it, but I don't know of many companies who aren't greedy.It's just greed why they use cheaper materials. Not cause better materials cost too much to use on a retro
Profit margins, every corporation cares for that first. They don't care if you like it or not, all pairs are being sold, bad quality or not.JB (at a business standpoint) is trying to maximize their profits by using the cheapest material and the highest retail price where the consumer will still buy. They don't want to buy better material because they are trying to get by with cheap quality and still sell at a higher price.
