Just got my Sport Blue 3's and I'm not happy with how light and cheap they feel. It feels like I am holding a fake pair of J's. I'm comparing it to my 88 Cements, at least with those, it's sturdy, and the leather feels buttery.  When I took the Sport Blue 3's out of the box... my first impressions are they feel extremely LIGHT and the leather feels different. It feels cheap like synthetic.

Why couldn't they make these feel like the 88 Cements but with Black and Blue?

You only have two pairs of III's?
 
People kill me talking bout bc 3's have "real" "value" [emoji]128514[/emoji] Most of u never even saw jordan play in them but love to use that as an excuse. Its all bull. As much as the og sneakerbots will try to tell you different, this shoe is a modern classic. If these came out along side the bc 3's back in the day, people woulda threw a sh*tfit. Imo, since I love blue over red, I favor the cw to the bc, but not the quality. I double copped for sure. Hype is just off because it was a gr. Had these been limited, again ppl would be in here throwing sh*tfits. Glad they didnt. I'm absolutely in love with this shoe. Make no mistake, Jordan would have worn these. Lastly, stop comparing these to the 88's. The 88's were clearly premium sneakers coming in at $200 when all other shoes at the time we're $170. These 3 years later still come in under the $200, but people expect the quality to be the same?? Compare These to gr's like the infrareds.

The worst pair of 3s I own are Fear 3s and they are supposed to have "premium" materials.

People need to chill, the materials used on these are what has been used on 3s the last couple years outside of 88s.

Same dudes complaining about these 3s have been buying all the other 3s from the last 3 years.

Compare the feel of the shoe to BC3's or Powder Blues.

The feel of the Sport Blues feel nothing like BC's or Powder Blues when I hold them in hand, those don't feel cheap.

Maybe someone else can help me describe it. I was just surprised at how light these are, when I picked it up out of the box, it almost felt as if I had a GS pair or somethin instead of Mens. I never messed with True Blues or Fear 3's so I can't speak for those.

BC3s don't feel anything like 88s and your really in here talking down on these but think that Power Blues are much better quality?

I've seen a couple pics in here of bad pairs and maybe thats what you have.  I'd return and attempt to cop another but for the most part these feel like all the other 3s that dropped.

Jokers, crimsons, fire red, WC3, BC3, true blues, wolf grey, same "leather".

for those who couldn't cop i'd imagine the market is about to get flooded with these as all the online orders start to get delivered
 
Bruh, I love this colorway. Maybe I just had high expectation for these? That when I took them out of the box, it didn't feel like what I expected. And just to note, I didn't feel this way when I took Powder Blue 3's out of the box for the first time and I think this Sport Blue colorway stomps on that colorway all day.

I'm just describing the feel of the shoe, close your eyes and feel the way it feels in your hand, the way the leather feels. Night and day.

If you close your eyes and compare a leather shoe to a suede shoe they are supposed to feel different.  

I get that you were disappointed though, I was disappointed by the ferrari 14s and I'm sure some people will think I'm crazy.

Went to the mall yesterday and pairs are still everywhere... Big sizes at that. I guess the raffle thing is getting old or this color way wasn't that popular after all.

Word I only seen ferrari 14s in a picture but the first pictures and the in hand pics were grossly different. Makes me wonder about the remastered joints too. They took a dope shot and filtered the hell outta those pairs. Who cares? But yeah sport blue 3s are in lane by themselves. Last ditch effort to maximize a dollar that we always going to spend
 
Won a raffle from my HOUSE OF HOOPS.

I get there and give them my info and my ticket. Chick brings out my shoes and like always, I take a look and said "good, I'll take em".

She then hits me with the "I have some insoles for you". I said no thanks and she quickly responds with "How about a matching shirt, hat or socks"?

Again, I said "no thanks", I was being as polite as I can be.

She then says "If you want to win another raffle, I suggest you buy something else".

Felt like throwing my shoes straight to her face after her comment. I starred her down and said "I only came to buy the shoes, nothing else".

She charged and took my money. She then handed me my change then put my kicks and the receipt in the bag and walked away. She just straight left the shoes on the counter.

She tried doing the same thing to another customer (this guy was buying the Kobes).

I didnt even get a thank you or have a nice day. I just laughed and walked out.

I will be back next week to enter my raffle for the 6's. I would like to see what happens and I really hope shes there.
Welcome to 2014 customer service of minimum wage workers. Back in the days, not too long ago, people made alot less than half and were actually polite and cared about their customers.
 
@djaward  Pretty much how they make their extra commission, footlocker employees make a dollar or so for every $100 they make in a sale or something like that. That could have been your plug for future releases that are far more hard to come by especially via raffle, buy an insole for a basketball shoe you hoop in outdoors or a running shoe, they only cost like $20. Plus if she was at least a 7 out of 10, that could've been some side yambs on top of everything, you slept.

It may not mean nothing bit that's that man money and how he should react to how his pair is "supposed" is his bitnezz. Hell every person would be tight. I ain't ashamed to say 170 mean alot to me. That's a light bill where i stay

Sure, complaining about quality is one thing. But elephant print not matching? I just looked at three of my 3s and neither of them have matching elephant print. Even my '88 3s don't have exact matching eleephant print.

there is a store here in Houston that makes you buy a shirt and sock I believe in order to purchase the shoes....

Depends on the area also. I saw a larger line up than I expected. I was glad I did a raffle ticket, because I'm not about that line up life.

I dont need a connect to get shoes. If I get them, I get them . If I dont, then no biggie. Besides, I highly doubt they'll remember me the next time I come in.

Second, YAMBS? No thanks, Im married.
