honestly i can't argue this,  i'd say the same with the kobe line in terms of quality as well though.  nike defenitly puts more effort, pride, and quality on their newer stuff as opposed to most retro jordan stuff over the past 5-6 years that has been a slap in the face to the statement "quality inspired by the games greatest player"

Please explain to me what I dont know what im talking about. I know just as much about Jordans as the next person on here. My addiction started in the 5th grade. Retros are the reason I was the only one who knew Roman Numerals in elementary school. Retros are where its always been at, theres only been a handful of good Team shoes this past decade. 
School me son

And thanks for the info gangsta207

before retros were retros they were......................................................................................................................................... ORIGINALS thats Tinker

Idk if you trying to get smart with me, and if djuzi is referring me as to the kid who doesnt know but i'm aware that before the retros they were OG's. I understand what retro means. I just didnt know what Tinker created. Tinker created the OG's, thats all I wanted to know. Thanks you.

and see thats all i ways saying. I wasn't saying tinker was a crap designer I was just saying the quality of the retro line, and everything that has came out since 07 have been HORRIBLE!
I mean the last jordan i copped was the Space Jam from 09, and when I realized my pinky toe would hurt after wearing the shoes exactly the way they did after i wore the cdp 11, I said f it im never buying a jordan product again.... Why doesnt my pinky toe kill me after I wear my DMP 11, or my cool grays from 01....smh....Thats why I say Lebron > Jordan

He aint lying about the quality tho, quality wise today : Lebrons 8s > Jordan Brand kicks.

I dont agree with Tinker saying Jordan Brand is more exciting than Lebrons at this point in time.

Thats EXACTLY what I was trying to say.

You cant show me one shoe that has been made from Jordan brand of the last 5 years that have better quality than.....

or any of these

You just trying to show off that collection 

 Just playing I like what you got though.
You aint lying about the 4's though. Everyone was bashing them for being heavy boots and what not. Those were what i played ball with like Sophmore year in Highschool, they felt like the first coming of Jesus Christ on my feet. They literally swallowed my feet in comfortableness.

[noblekane]

both kobes and lebrons have better quality than jordan brand but then what would you expect from a company run by a dude who thought it was cool to rock a hitler mustache

i see flint XIII's

 

[Figured it out]

as far as the kobe vs Lebron Shoe argument IMO the colorways make each shoe. There's some dope colorways of each Lebron (Christmas,Sout Beach,Entourage) Kobe(Grinch,Rice,OC,Chaos,Chinas)

lol right..
Naw the pics are really a response to the petco comments but, I shouldn't have responded that way. I have jordans, im not a 16 year old like they think. I just feel that the Lebron and even the kobe line have WAY better quality than the Jordan brand...I never once said that Tinker wasnt a good shoe designer.
Whats really upsetting is seeing shoes like the 6rings, fusion, ect ect have better quality than all the jordan retros from 07 and up. How can your jordan fusion 6's have better quality than my Jordan 11 space jams....It just doesnt make any sense. How any one hoops in any jordan retro from 07 and up is WAAAAAY beyond me. I feel like im walking on cardboard in those shoes. Especially after wearing the lebron 8's .

I swear some people will never let Jordans GO! ok we get it they where iconic for a time being, but its time to move on man. The shoes from that brand just arnt doing it any more, for me...I feel like i am a dirt bag when ever I wear jordans...I feel like im wearing fakes, yet there made from the JORDAN BRAND....smh

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

regarding the jordan quality.

2003 blk sliver 8's a nice quality shoe, no cracking and it held up real well over the years. fast forward 4 years later and the aquas come out, a few wears in and the paint and bottom are is cracking

2005 i bought the steel x's and after a few wears it looked like i folded them in half, don't even let me get started on the military and mars iv's from 2006.

point blank jordan brand quality has been declining for a while now, while nike has been doing a good job with their current releases.
