I have been into sneakers since the early 90s. Some of y'all are new(er) to this, but I just want to say that the OG pairs BACK IN THE DAY had quality issues too. 

The difference is, that people did not "collect" shoes back then, and didn't care. We wore these out the store, used the box for our baseball cards, and in 6 months the pair was trashed from hooping and the playground!

I know $190 sucks, but its in line with inflation TBH.  I buy Jordans for the memories, not the quality. 

Inflation? We're talking a $40 price increase in just four years. JB has you brainwashed, put down the Kool-Aid. There's absolutely no valid reason why my three pairs of 2011's are worlds above my pair of 2015's when it comes to quality. People like you ARE THE PROBLEM.

Nike makes retros crap because they aren't made for performance, just casual. If they pulled that with the new models, athletes would be getting hurt left and right...

This statement right here has no bearing whatsoever. If retros aren't meant to be hooped in, then please explain how so many high school, college, and professional players seem to be just fine playing in them.

I am talking OG to OG model. 1991 vs 2015 inflation. These were $125 back in 1991.

I buy about 3 models of JB per year, because I know the quality sucks and it is, what it is.

I speak with my dollar, if I can't deal with it, pass on the shoes and keep it moving. I'm tired of hearing y'all complain about normal mass produced variances, expecting some hand made piece of art. These are made by machines and 12 year olds.

Because they are idiots and don't care about their feet long term. You can't be serious with this argument. Why not hoop in Chuck Taylor's then? They were made for basketball, so they must be up to 2015 performance standards right? 

RETROS ARE CASUAL SHOES, unless you are just trying to stunt. If you want performance, go elsewhere.
 
Welp..my 1st time posting in this thread and unfortunately it will be my last. Got my 7s in the mail 2day and they will be RETURNED! These are Crap, so dissapointed SMFH...What is with the Toe Box?, these Materials are "Remastered"?? Smh Please....

2011s are better by far Imo, and i cant believe im sayin that! Lol
Was just saying the EXACT same thing. This "remastered" crap was to trick us into believing a five or so shoes grace period was permanent. I haven't seen "remastered" attached to a release since the Teal 5s. And by not advertising as "remastered" for each individual release since then, they are technically not lying to us. But what's most ironic is they conveniently remastered pairs far less sought after like the French 7s and Columbia 4s. I'm terribly disappointed in the quality of my Bordeaux's also. I'll be sticking with 1s since they're the only releases done right.
