BEST Quality of recent Jordan's?

[jreese44]

Man my Carolina X's are thorough!! Definite grade A quality on them. N I hoop n um now.

 

[outbrk]

nubucks, and not many people complain about the hares. dmp v was nice as well

 

[jordan5]

flint 7s and most of 06 5s some cdps too

 

[c4]

The XX3's for me were great.

I strongly disagree with the people saying that the FR III's were good quality. (fake leather, bad paint on midsole)
I've worn mine lightly just a few times and the paint is starting to crack already.

XX3, but hopefully TB IIIs will change this... haven't yet seen these in person.

The nubucks had a good shape to the shoes but the nubuck was ugly compared to the 2003 original nubucks.. every pair I checked out when I was trying to cop hadscuffs on the nubuck... 2009 nubucks fail compared to the originals from 2003... recently I would say fire red 3s, I loved my 1st dmp pack from 2006, and Ihave to comment on the XIs from the cdp.. these shoes don't look or feel much like the 2001 breds but they stand up better to creases than the 2001s... Istill love the 2001s more wit the backwards jumpman on the left shoe but really the cdp I think was changed up because they tried to make the shoe more durablethan the first retro... hands down OG XIs knocks out both retros..... IMO

I Like My Nubuck. . And My Cardinal 7s Are Great Quality Too .

All OGs have been good quality, 23s, obviously, but the 22s, 21s, 20s, etc all are much much better than just about any retro.

I thought my CDP 16s were excellent quality, best out of all the CDP shoes that I got anyway.
Nobody mentioned the cool grey 3s which I thought were better quality than the fire red 3s that seem so popular.

I'd also like to point out, if your shoes get dirty THAT IS NOT A MATTER OF QUALITY. There was at least 2 people that seem to think if they keep theirshoes clean that means those shoes are higher quality. %@@? If I take the highest quality shoes ever made then go jump in a tar pit they will be dirty. Shoesdont wear themselves to the club.

Same goes for creasing, some models (5s, 4s, 13s) are going to crease easily, that does not mean the leather is good or bad, good leather creases too. Thedesign of the toe box has a lot more to do with the creasing than the quality of the materials.

Quality on the OG Black/Red CDPs was pretty spotty as it happens.

I really hope you dont wear your DMP II V's like you have them in your avy....

Anyway I think the Nubucks were good, the Dub Zeros (only fusion I own don't worry), and the TB 3's. I would say the Toro Bravo's but I wore my3M's for an hour and had creasing within the first steps...anyone else have that problem?

Blah blah Blah.." …. We ALL know that JB has been putting out some trash quality in the last few years but I want to know what one's you all think have been the best. For example, I was wearing my CDP XIV's and I really thought the suede was really soft and they were extremely comfortable and was thinking that they were waaaay better than most people thought. Maybe it was just my pair? The IX's on the other hand are stiff as HE$%! Any other CDP's or recent releases that were better than people are giving credit for? It's been disappointing lately with the quality but I am just wondering if anyone has had better luck with any of their purchases over the last few years??? I am just wondering which ones I should keep and undeadstock and maybe a few I should just get rid of and buy something more worthwhile.

my cdp 9's are very nice and comfortable

[jontheedon]

3m V's are creasing qick also..

 

[myfeetstank]

09 TRUE BLUES... the leather quality is almost up to par with my 01 IIIs

 

[sc415]

Cool grey 3's,
Cdp 16's which I ball in.

 

[airdrama23]

Hare ones

 

[mjmoney23]

White/Green XIV. I have played ball in these over 100 times and they hold up MUCH better than the OG XIV. Granted they are dirty and scuffed, but the teetharent coming off and they are still very solid.

 

[airuphere23]

Quality seems to be only a matter of opinion but just to add to the conversation I'll add my selections...

CDP XII
Cool Grey III
Flip III
XX3's (although the pinky toe issues sometimes make me think otherwise...)
Aqua VIII's (mine are built like tanks with no paint chipping apparent)
Playoff VIII's (good quality as well)



that's it for now...

 

[kobe jordan]

cdp XII's no question

 

[vahustler]

playoff VIII's=WIN I wore about 30 times to work in and they still look new with no creases

cdp XII's
Jordan XXIII's
