I know Nike doesnt wanna hear this but part of a shoe having prestige and a 'elite sig' feel is...using leather.

i kinda like leather saved for special occasions like the ext series, one of the greatest things about the X model is the overall tankage of the model, short of you blowing out the air bubble(which i've done on 2prs) they're virtually unstoppable casually. Leather ages way harder and i get less wears out of my retro's trying to keep the pristine than i get out of my X that 4yrs later still look brand new long as you don't look at the bottom of the shoeI know Nike doesnt wanna hear this but part of a shoe having prestige and a 'elite sig' feel is...using leather.

i don't think a lot of people realize jordan wore a brand new pair of shoes every half something he admitted to doing himselfLeather is awful in most cases for actual basketball, it's heavier, it's hotter, it's far less flexible, it takes a long time of break it for it to form to your foot, it creases easy as ****.I know Nike doesnt wanna hear this but part of a shoe having prestige and a 'elite sig' feel is...using leather.
You're ment to ball in these shoes, sure have a few ext models with it , but a performance model made out of leather won't have the best performance
I'm not sure what point you're making here?i don't think a lot of people realize jordan wore a brand new pair of shoes every half something he admitted to doing himself
helping drive your point home on how leather might be nice in terms of quality but by today's standards pale in ability to the plasticy materials used todayI'm not sure what point you're making here?i don't think a lot of people realize jordan wore a brand new pair of shoes every half something he admitted to doing himself
i hate the feel of worn beating up leather except for on leather jackets where it's that soft leather feel, very plush, but i no longer play sports but i def prefer the more beathable materials of today over what they used in the 90sLeather plays better after you've worn it multiple times and it breaks in and molds to your foot. I don't know how Jordan preferred to wear fresh pairs.

adidas and UA don't use leather either, you are aware of that right? no one is using leather for basketball anymore and it's more than just they want to be cheap, i'm sorry yall want hot leather than so be it buy the retro's from yrs ago that still have leather build and be done with it but i like the new materials and how long they last bcuz the leather does not last longer and you guys are crazy for thinking soNike isn't fooling me. They use these cheap materials and charge more for their own profit. They try to sell you on all of this mumbo jumbo with being the newest and best technology. The bottomline is the company is cheap! They didn't even give us real leather on the new Air Jordan XXXI and that shoe only has a small portion in the back where it requires leather. Again, they put synthetic leather because they are CHEAP. They charge a high retail but the quality is trash. That's why you hear of guys ripping up their shoes after only a few games of wear. Nike and Jordan Brand need to step up their game as far as the quality these days.I know Nike doesnt wanna hear this but part of a shoe having prestige and a 'elite sig' feel is...using leather.

ok case in point i no longer buy leather running shoes for army physical training, they're heavy, hot and all out garbage, i much prefer flyknit AM or the newer style 360AMs because theyre light, breathable and sit on a cloud of awesomess, so i can't fathom wearing leather bastketball shoes to play ball in you guys are str8 insane
Reaaaalllly liking that Oreo esque cw. But with the AZG retro not sure if I want that to be my one 14[emoji]129300[/emoji]
Can't make out what those are
the 14s are a glorified takedown shoe... take Lebrons name off of them and most of you wouldn't be checking for these at all
This statement holds true for every sig shoe to be honest.

Hasnt always been that way, but it seems like that now
yes it has.
thats why sponsored athletes/individuals exist in the first place.
