New Jordan 14 Colorway - Black Vibrant Yellow 7/4/14 release date

I wonder if NIKE or JORDAN have shoes made in certain Factories depending on the type of Material being used...


Like the good leather and GITD rubber and stuff that's usually consider PREMIUM made in one Factory


and regular NUBUCK  and more commonly used cheaper leathers made a a different Factory..


So if Jordan says they are making a new show design

and its made more out a certain material it would go to be made at the better factory


Point being
I'm guessing
these 14 thunders are made at a factory that makes large numbers compare to a factory that made CIGAR's 6's


or one that would make the Suede 14's being Diff MAterial being used???


DAMN YOU CHINA!

Not so. Factories do not control that Nike does and they have say in the materials used.

As you can both the cigars and these were made in the same exact factory but materials used are vastly different but then again so was retail.
 
 
That and the fact that they made them one piece killed the whole shoe for me.  Here is a sample from a few years ago (I think) that doesn't have the carbon fiber.  If they looked like this I would consider it but still, the one piece

I wish JB would release some of the samples they made:

all those XIVs are dope bro...and those XVIs in the bacc look nice
 
So,  Factory Letters do Match up with Premium goods compare to Reguler GR shoes that are made???

LN2, LN4 , SZ, XL

is there a list of these Factories by Letter abbreviation???
 
I liked the shoe. The colorway was great for Pittsburgh as people had said. The quality execution just lacked to much for me even if it was limited. I never saw myself wearing them because of that, and with the wife and I looking for a bigger house and to expand the family again I can't buy stuff to sit anymore. Those red 14s look great though
 
I use my pair for bball but I've been thinking about cleaning up that horrible jumbled contrast stitch with a black fabric pen. I think it would look better if I removed the 2 middle stitches to match the spacing of the other ones. These would have been so Raw if they would have used red pinstriping like the bulls jersey........ I just had an idea I wonder how a red fabric marker would turn out...

Na man you tripping these are fine the way they are, These my beaters 2 but what i love about em is you can wipe them down and they look great afterwards, would def pick up another pair

Don't sleep on the Thunder 14's, I never was a fan of the 14 because the shape to me was just to pointy. However I walked in Kicks Usa and was able to buy for retail with no line or raffle so the risk was minimal. These look way bettet in person and quality is there, yellow paint could be better but all in all it's a hot shoe and looks better on. U may regret not copping, as all the OG jordan heads like myself know that grew up with all the original releases in the 90's I remember many that I wish I grabbed.. the burgundy 5's sitting on shelves for months is one that still bugs me,along with many others u wish u copped and stashed.

The red suede is a bit much with the carbon, but those sport blue and grey 14's in few weeks are fire!

All them kiddies who don't think the 14 is a classic is fine with me. I don't need hype beast to buy, I buy bc I want and like. All J's that are classic and original colorways that MJ WORE are the true classics.
 
People Only Like this SHOE cuz it was easy to buy….

Kinda how, People call FAT WOMEN nice, because there's no other Nice Compliment to give Fat Women….

Does that make sense….

Sure.....it makes perfect nonsensical sense.

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If it was hard to cop or sold out what would it be then?

Call fat women nice because there is no other positive compliment to give fat women

That sentence makes more sense to me but its still ********, and those statements dont really mean the same thing, by saying these shoes are nice because they are easy to cop means that a fat woman is nice because she is "easy to cop". But thats not exactly what you said. 

Anywayyyy I dont really like the latest 14's, everytime I see an onfeet it looks odd, which is making me want the Sport Blues less and less
 
IM GLAD CATS ARE STARTING TO USE THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT ON IF THEY LIKE A SHOE OR NOT, MAKES IT EASIER TO COP. I REALLY HOPE ALL THESE YOUNG CATS KEEP BUYING THOSE UGLY BRONS AND KOBE AND KD, BC THEN THEIR MOMMY'S POCKETS WONT BE READY FOR AUGUST AND ALL 3 SPORT BLUES WILL BE EASY.. I WONT ROCK THE THUNDERS PROB TIL FALL, STILL NOT REALLY SURE WHY THEY PUT THE BLACK SUEDE IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY BUT I'LL TAKE IT.. SPORT BLUE IS A NICE SHOE, NOT AS NICE AS THE SPORT BLUE 3 IMO BUT THE 3 IS THE BEST JORDAN EVER AND I DONT THINK THERE IS A QUESTION THERE.. SOME SAY THE 11, BUT THEY ARE TOO TRENDY WITH CATS WHO AINT EVEN REAL JORDAN COLLECTORS. THE 4'S AND 5'S ARE RIGHT BEHIND, BUT THE DUNK FROM THE FREE THROW LINE IN 88' WITH MJ IS JUST WHAT JB IS ALL ABOUT. I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE THEM BACK THEN, AND WHEN U COP SOMETHING THAT BRINGS BACK THAT FEELING IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT.. PLUS LOOKING FLY..LOL
 
eastbay running out of sizes as well as NDC. finishline still holding roughly the same amount of sizes since RD. only way I'm scooping is if I can get free shipping and at least 10+% off.
