These weren't remastered, The space jams are remastered but the OGs IX are not.

I know I was confused about that, I thought all OGs were going to be remastered but I was wrong.

Metallic V's wasn't described as remastered but quality was great imo.

These were absolutely remastered, hence the price increase. People need to stop giving Nike a free pass to pull one over on them.

Is it the sole that's squeaking or the back tab?  In general my 3s squeak from the back tab rubbing on the leather/pleather.  I figure it will dissipate as they age.

I copped 2 pairs of wc88, took the best left shoe & right shoe & sold the other pair

there were issues b

not just the ele print & cut of the guards - but one of the shoes was pretty much not tumbled leather - and it stood out against the other 3 tumbled shoes

Lol i do that all the time but to make my rock and stock pair.
 
as someone who is slamming this TB3 release also,.. just gotta remind myself that 2016 has been a really strong high quality year from JB.  I bought 5 pairs of WC4s, four were flawless and one was good.  my black toes are fire & perfect.  my 2 pairs of BM fives are perfect.  my cyber monday 3s are waaay great quality for a non remastered shoe.  i keep & wear all my shoes

sounds like the flu games were poor quality, but i wasn't interested & didn't look.

that's why when JB lays a brick like this on an OG 3, they deserve to get lit up.  obviously they had their hands full with the volume of Nov/Dec releases and they fell down on this one.  the complaints are valid and should be loud.

personally, I'll keep checking every store I pass by for an acceptable 10.5 TB3.  If I find one, great .. if not no big deal.  I just hope this was a rare fumble rather than a sign of what's to come for future remastered OGs, especially 3s & 4s.  wondering if the forum thinks Nike cares & listens or not?  please let this just be a hiccup

These flaws might have been present in previous retro 3 releases but as a person who sifted through 7 size 10s to find the perfect pair and still wasn't satisfied.... this thread needs more complaints. There are a bunch of issues with these jawns! Besides the super OCD dudes posting blurry pics of threads hanging loose, a lot of these issues and flaws are terrible. How the elephant print thick on one shoe but damn faded and lighter and dis colored on another? How the damn elephant print gon touch the 'R' in "NIKE AIR"? These shoes had a bunch of issues bro and for all y'all pacifist types who making excuses for Nike wake up. We talking about a multi billion dollar company that wants to DOUBLE their value. That don't mean they wanna double what's in your pocket... They want to make more money than ever before. A lot of y'all say we brought this $220 price hike on ourselves with the whole resale market and Nike reading these threads. Well I hop they read this one. Deadas tho like even if your pair is perfect, if it's from Nike you should get on the horn and start complaining and not asking but DEMANDING discount codes. It's the only way. They keep track of codes and why they have to issue them. If we get on the phone and start the single mother retail monster who won't take no for an answer routine I feel like that would be the best way to get the message across. What's the worst that could happen? Nike makes note of it? Or they don't give a crap at all but at least we get some codes out of it.

I mean I might sound crazy to y'all but it's only a couple of weeks before Matt Powell and other analysts start ethering yeezy fanboys about nikes sales and dominance of the footwear market. We over here spending $220 on kicks that's coming from the factory BOTCHED and everybody knows it all the while our own peers telling us to get over it lol how bout NAH FAM I'ma complain and get a discount at least. Closed mouths don't get fed. When people cried to McDonald's about the McRib guess what Mickey Ds did.


They brought back the McRib.

This man gets it!
 
Oddly enough, for someone like myself who seems to have the worst luck getting a decent pair of Jordan retros, I have my first pair from NDC in-hand, and it's actually pretty good. There were a couple tiny nicks in the leather, and a spot of missing blue paint on the sole, but that's nothing compared to some of the disasters I've seen here.
