As a og at 53 been wearing my Jay's since 1985 and I get my money out of them. I hoop, I hit the gym and I wear them all around. They're meant to be worn and enjoyed. Creases add character and shows that you wear and enjoy them. Great video and review!👍

Creases are normal for the flex points, but the toe cap creasing and collapsing is not, especially for patent leather. That said, these shoes were only ever designed to be used for one game by MJ. After that, all his shoes looked well broken in and rough.

I buy my shoes to wear, at $180 + you bet I plan to wear and I only buy what I like, what I will wear, not what's hyped and popular lol! I am loyal to Nike and Jordan brand. I will add that the Jordan 10 creases terribly 😅 Thanks for this refreshing video! You're always solid 💯

I copped a pair for myself and one for my wife, ours came with no issues at all. I prefer these over the concords because of the leather over the ballistic mesh for cleaning purposes. I’m not super pressed to keep ‘em perfect but if they happen to smudge or happen to stain, it’ll be easier to clean opposed to the mesh.

These are an absolute homerun. First time I've ever bought Js and for a split second, I thought about not wearing them. They're that nice. And complaining about creasing on a patent leather shoe is a waste of energy. Just wear the damn things and enjoy them. Great vid, brotha. You said what needed to be said.✌️
@anthonygulotta6949 7 ай бұрын
I think the issue is that there is no lining between the patent leather. On foot, you can tell the patent leather is thinner, and the lining just isn't there to reinforce the patent leather. The first 11s I have had show my toes completely, outlined when I wiggle them (if that makes sense).
@MrYouwho96 7 ай бұрын
I keep the paper stuffing that came with the shoes inside after each wear and don't have an issue with creasing. Plus I rotate out the ones I wear so I'm not in the same pair too frequently. But at the end of the day, just wear the damn shoes and be happy.

I get wanting your shoes to look as pristine as possible but in the end, they are shoes and are meant to be worn. If folks don't want to see them get creased, double up on a pair. Speaking of which, I was able to cop a couple of pairs of the Gratitudes. Online raffles paid off, love it! Looking forward to the vid on the ensemble with these joints.
