AIR JORDAN 11 “GRATITUDE” / THANK YOU - 12/09/2023

They never were or are.

Yeah...for all of the price increases the quality has continued to decline.

I don't think 2024 will get better so I'll be purchasing less.

Rather just buy 1s and 3s at the point

Rather just buy 1s and 3s at the point

Felt that way since prlly 2016...throw 4s in there randomly.

So many comfortable jordans like 12...13...but those 1...3..4....go so well with everyday . Look good beat up some

My pair from NEX is finally here…

MAN!!!!!

I am glad I didn’t pass these up… these are hella dope!!!!

 

[jigga boi]

Opened up my SNS pair and lawd the SZ factory was wildin with that yellow *** sole. Sheesh.

Straight to SX they went.

Same, they were piss yellow compared to my pair from Nike. Ga daaammmnnnn

 

[spiderjericho]

So the general feeling is that these are not worth the $230 price tag?

To quote the philosopher Ryu…the answer lies within

Same, they were piss yellow compared to my pair from Nike. Ga daaammmnnnn

Mine too. But they look so different than the other pairs I got. But sadly SNS is going back to DSG lol.

SZ vs LNM.

 

[Mamba4life]

Hit the trifecta boys .... LNM from Nike, LN4 from Champs ship to home, and the dreaded SZ from SNS . I'll just wear the yellow bottoms to the gym. I'm curious to see how all versions hold up going forward.

 

[over30andwhat]

It’s all the same, no one factory is better, it doesn’t matter if it’s LNM of SZ

SZ vs LNM.

Anyone with a yellow soles pair want to dump them for retail? I have a pair but would like to own both colored soles.

I don’t care bout no creases neither, but I never seen 11s in the past have those kinds of granny wrinkles. These shytz is trash

I don't mind creases. but it baffles me seeing pairs that are already creased "badly" even before you get the chance to wear them.

 

[sneeker]

Foreal tho. They just shoes. Life’s too short to sweat every single little detail lol. The OCD in this thread is off the charts lol

OCD? you kiddin right? people complain more about way more ridiculous things like boxes and paper used on the shoe.

 

[sneeker]

My homies LNM pair landed that I ordered for him :

that is so bad. even fakes have better aesthetics than these "authentics".

 

[sneeker]

my mind has changed, I will only buy one for $50.

 

[badboy0074]

They never were or are.

It’s always been worth 125 just inflation and popularity brought price up

 

[badboy0074]

Both factories SUCK

Not factory but Nike with the materials factory only glues them together

 

[wombat]

It’s always been worth 125 just inflation and popularity brought price up

As an owner of a pristine LNM pair, I would say these are worth every penny. The increased retail price came with superior materials and also cut out the resellers from hoarding several pairs to flip.

If these were $125 you better believe people would’ve bought several pairs and sold them for $200+ themselves.

On the other hand if you received a low quality pre-creased pair then I also understand why these aren’t worth the increased retail price.

OCD? you kiddin right? people complain more about way more ridiculous things like boxes and paper used on the shoe.

Nope. I’m being serious. We can list a million things people complain about on NT

 

[S3NTINEL2001]

I have the 2016 XI PEs, 2018 Concord XI, 2019 black/red XI, 2021 Cool Grey XI and wore them a few times and none have creasing that bad or as as noticeable as the these (Gratitude XIs) that with one wear they look so bad compared to past releases.

and no need to point out the obvious 2000 Concords & 2001 Space Jams those took forever to have creases that were actually noticeable .

With all that being said i feel like returning these new gratitudes for a refund.

( i have never complained about creases ....but for it to happen out of the box or after one wear i know something is wrong.)

 

[jigga boi]

SZ vs LNM.

What in the %%#%?!????

 

[spiderjericho]

I thought folks posted SZN vs LNM befo?

SZN stands for seasoning. Dispelling the stigma that Europeans don’t season their food.

Looks like my 6th pair was stolen.

Fedex delivered with signature required and someone named JJG signed for it.

Checked my cameras and the truck drove in and then left.

 

[Quiggles706]

I notice the direct correlation between resell/availability and quality concerns

Patent leather only slightly thinner than any other Retro 11.

*Edit…acceptable concerns I mean
