It’s not just the 11s , I used to hoop in jays from 1999-2006, the decline was the the cdp retros . Everything felt like bricks after. I used to run through summer league with the 04 bred 13 and steel 10s .. shoot even the 05 bred 14s .. so comfy .. tf happened to Jordan brand lol

They got greedy and cut a lot of corners. They realised that folks would buy retros no matter what. The cdp series definitely was the end of quality across the board. It started in 06' though. I bought the Cardinal 7s and quality was great. I also bought the Mars 4s and they were beyond trash. Things just got worse going forward.

JB ain’t been right since they released them fusions

For me personally I noticed with the 07 fr3s, those garbage sneakers paint cracked terribly, and that was with casual wear.

They may have been the worst retro I’ve ever owned.

Those caused me to fall back for a few years with jordan brand, I didn't trust anything with a painted midsole

I was 12 man lol I ain’t know any better. Those joints were terrible. I had midsole chipping before the school year even started. And my mom had the audacity to blame me. JB owes me an *** whooping

FACTS!!!

I was hooping in all of the early retros, '00 5s, '03 3s and 8s, '04 2s and Oly 7s, '05 Steel 10s and Laser 4s. You can only imagine my shock and frustration starting with the 2006 Mars 4s where suddenly the midsole was hard as rock compared to how the lasers were just a year prior. I still did hoop in those as well as the 06 FR 5s, and the FR 3s and black/red 8s from '07. After that I didn't want to deal with them anymore and made the switch with Kobe 1s and 2s being my primary on court weapons.

Every chance I get I bring up the fact they even up until today, most retro Jordans aren't nearly as comfortable as they should be if they just made them properly.

Mars Blackmon 4s were vile.

Ain’t never lied, mind cracked within 3-4 wears I just couldn’t believe it back then.

 

[truenike81]

My aqua 8s
Fr 3s
Cdp bc 3s
All cracked and peeled after a few wears I stopped buying for a while until they address the problem. Gentry era

Mars Blackmon 4s were vile.

yeah and I stood in line for em. Early. lol. Paint chipped less than a few wears. The elongated shape made them feel like clown shoes. I used hold and compare to my 99s and be like damn what are they smokin over at jb.

There is a class action lawsuit against ON for squeaky Cloud shoes. It’s too bad NT didn’t lawyer up right after the Fire Red 4s. Would have saved us years of ******** from Gentry.

 

[truenike81]

Where is Gentry at now? Someone in these NT streets use to cap hard for him or that's him with a burner

Nah they can keep that. I don’t need a pair of Settlement 4s or Grievance 11s, because they’ll lean into something foolish like that lol

It appears two things with this version will deter me from getting them.

The price hike to $255 is one thing.

Although the stitched 23 is preferred by lots of people wanting these, I would have preferred them to go with the inked version of the 23 to replicate the original 2000 version of this color scheme going off my purist standpoint.

I just feel a price increase for a copy of a previous version should replicate all of the specs in exact details.
