The Jordan 11's are my favorite Jordan's but after Nike and Jordan brand hiked up their prices and lowered their quality along with giving us less I decided to start passing on the next 11 release. Thinner patent leather and no plastic shoe trees killed my intrest. Having multiple QC issues on almost every release and bloated prices is keeping money in my pockets.
I have a pair of rep cherry 11s, b grades but from a good batch. They’re B GRADE REPS and they have nearly no noticeable flaws. My legend blues arrived today and they’re scuffed asf. The leather looks creased and there’s glue and scratches everywhere. Ridiculous. My rep cherrys look better in comparison. I’d honestly mistake my originals for a rep with all the glue marks and scuffs they have
After these, fr, I'm 37, and I'm pretty much done with Jordan's. I'm stepping up my game and buying dress shoes and heritage boots from now on, and that's it.
With a mass produced shoe it's gonna happen, besides that Nike and Jordan Brand knows they will still sell. People are still crying about GRs but they won't stop buying them shits 😂😭😭😭
It’s a shame that Lazy is becoming more common. It’s sad because until we stop buying these shoes (never gonna happen) it’s probably just gonna get worse. Thanks for the video bossman.
I like Jordan.. But since the Price INCREASE started.. I stopped buying.. waiting them to go on sale.. but if not.. still an ADVANTAGE for me to SAVE my MONEY.. AND ITS GREAT. At $230 plus Tax.. its way too much already. This is clean.. but will turn Yellow in time. Cant afford expensive jordans anymore.. knowing that QUALITY is a totaly CRAP AND CHEAP. Not worth the buy anymore. SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE. Christmas is coming and theres more important things to buy rather than EXPENSIVE JORDAN SHOES. FACTS. 😒😒😒👌
Them green color changin R4 Shox had mad problems. Mine had glue all over, looked like it was dirty, had QC stickers the lil red arrows pointing to some of the defects 🤷🏻♂️ sent em back lol.
I'm still loving my Pantones built so good i rock em all time and they still look great almost 10 years old. Pantones and Cool grey my only 11s and love em both
I gave up on Jordan last year. Stuck to sb dunks. Half the price , waaaayyy better quality and less people rocking them. It’s a shame. Looking at my pairs from 2005-2016, they are so much better. I can’t give Jordan my money anymore.
Haha right love the jo tax on needed products like clothes and food. 233.44 for me.. and complaining about imperfections on a shoe everyone wants straight perfection out of box never happens never will happen stop buying the shoes if you complain Everytime about everything on every shoe
@@99chrisjay yeah they all say the same shit and get free shoe I mean ok they pay for it but dudes just videotape themselves complaining about a shoe and it covers their bills and shoe collection.. 🤷 me stopping watching won't stop them getting the money haha I like shoes for shoes not the flip value so all the inconsistencies and bad QC is fine with me my shits get worn not trails to someone else
They getting cheaper with the quality and going higher with the prices smh hell the last plastic shoe insert we got was with the bred 11s in 2019 🤦🏾♂️
Got my pair yesterday…Mine looked flawless 🔥 🔥 My 12’s Barons came in the mail with hella glue imperfections…I was pissed and still haven’t worn them yet and haven’t had one inquire about them on OfferUp or eBay 🤦♂️
I sent two pairs of the Jordan Black Cement 3's back to nike, and footlocker. If the same things shows up in the Legend 11, guess what they are going right back!
I sent mine back from the shock drop they came damaged. The the box had a crease on the front of the left shoe and the rubber was discolored. Sorry I am not paying $250 for some duds
My Pantones from 10 years ago barely have any creasing. They look so good still I'm going to keep still m rocking em and cool greys I don't need any other 11s
A million pairs produced…What do people expect?!? When your pumping out this many pairs, and have to meet a deadline, you can expect QC issues. It’s happened to ALL these big GR’s. Same with the BC3’s…
They can make a thousand pairs of this sneakers and people get QC issues but the rep or UA pairs have better quality than the retail pairs that’s just crazy to me. I always check my pair before I leave the store I can be OCD about this unfortunately.
Bro it’s not just these 11’s.. I copped the copper foams and had to look at multiple pairs before buying. The amount of scuff marks and glue smears over 2 out of 3 I checked out was insane. I’m not talking hairline marks. Big scuffs like they were thrown across the concrete before packaging lol😂
That’s why I stayed away from the shock drop and planned on getting them with the discount like I told you with a words well I still hope to do that but a lot of stores are getting late shipments on a holiday 11th and aren’t even doing raffles.
Just compared my pair to a rep pair of cherry 11s I have. The patent leather genuinely looks better on them it’s ridiculous how they look creased while being new
This clickbait game is wild Forrest, they look totally fine to me and my pair has no issues lol 😂😂😂. However, I do agree that it is sound advice to check the QC on every pair of shoes that we buy from now on. It helps us identify replicas or fakes off rip and definitely helps us keep Nike in check from giving away with selling us bogus products ✊✊🫡🫡💯💯
It’s crazy you said that when they make a lot of that certain shoe it seems to be messed up and the price Nike should kick sum money back on them and the black cement 3’s but it seems to be mostly shock drop shoes I don’t get it
I don’t know why ppl is complaining about slight issues with the retro 11 or any kicks some of yall going to beat them up and don’t know how to take care of sneakers especially paying over $200anyways so why complain just enjoy them nothing will never be A1 in life
Str8ght outta Paris hood , France, that’s why i don’t buy Nike anymore since 2017. At that price level, the pairs should be perfect without default. I switch to adidas and i didn’t notice that level of defaults on their pairs.
I copped them on the shock drop, received them about a week later and immediately returned them the same day. The quality was terrible. They were stiff and the leather felt like pleather to me. The patent leather was so thin and they felt like wearing moon boots. Not a fan at all and I was really looking forward to them but for me it’s a for sure pass.
It may be hard to imagine it but some people want to wear their shoes before they crease not come out the box creased but hey maybe when you started they came pre creased idk wasn’t there
@ true but I gotta come to realization that Jordan brand, Nike isn’t perfect. They’re making millions of pairs. What do you expect you should be used to it at this point but I get where u coming from.
Lol no problem copping these days but at what price, the quality?! Sure Jordan's are available and not they're not limited but the quality has gone downhill, I think this is the new trend and it's gonna be more rare to buy a perfect pair 😂
So … playing a game with them on is out ? I am gonna buy 4 pairs just for hooping … I prefer 🧢 cap n gown for just sporting… and the cherry 🍒…. Too bad the initiate tradition is gone .. anyone here old enough to remember what we did to anyone sporting new sneakers? Just sneakers now … shoes got you an uppercut or jab to the face !
IVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY SHOE AT ALL. AND IVE BEEN COLLECTING SINCE 2008. I GUESS. ITS JUST THE LUCK OF THE DRAW. BUT. I ALSO CHECK MY PAIRS OUT TO BEFORE I LEAVE THE STORE. MY PLUGS ARE USUALLY SO COOL, THEY WOULD GET ME THE BEST LOOKING PAIR ANYWAY.
my right shoe is perfect. left is absolute garbage. deformed toe box and whole shoe feels rough like it has overspray all over the patent leather. horrible. i have 3 pairs of the 2014s and the quality is immaculate
@Hegotkickz I'm not saying only you do that. I'm saying as whole WE need to stop buying this crap they're selling us at higher prices and lower quality.
How do you legit check Jordans on 2024? You check for flaws, and if it's flawless, then you got got 💀 Seriously though. Y'all getting silly with what is qualified as bad QC

Well just don't get em then 🤣 it's really that simple
Well just don't get em then 😂😂🤣
Whatever happened to “quality inspired by the greatest player ever.” Ridiculous.
He start making so much that he forgot himself 😂😂😂
I told everybody that’s why they call it a shock drop u will be in shock at the quality B-F grade of the shoe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, true that 😂
Mine are fine 😂 what you are saying is incorrect
Mine came in fine too, last year gratitudes whole different story.

Yoooo😮😮😮😮

You had me until you said “Christmas is coming” … regardless you’re a consumer.
The quality always had issues its just people just paying more so we expect better quality
Them green color changin R4 Shox had mad problems. Mine had glue all over, looked like it was dirty, had QC stickers the lil red arrows pointing to some of the defects 🤷🏻♂️ sent em back lol.
I'm still loving my Pantones built so good i rock em all time and they still look great almost 10 years old. Pantones and Cool grey my only 11s and love em both
around a million pairs made. all white sneaker. 230 usd. QC issues. am good
Ong I bought it in fortnite instead they will never get dirty in there
😂😂😂
I rather cop 2 fresh white af1
Mine had lumps in the toe box. Returned and will check EA pair Saturday. More stock means less QC.
I gave up on Jordan last year. Stuck to sb dunks. Half the price , waaaayyy better quality and less people rocking them. It’s a shame. Looking at my pairs from 2005-2016, they are so much better. I can’t give Jordan my money anymore.
The shock drop are B grade shoes
Just got mine from SNKRS the carbon fiber squares is bigger/thicker on one shoe then the other.
Danm!!! Over $250 here in Massachusetts it’s $233.44 👍👍💯%!!!!
Haha right love the jo tax on needed products like clothes and food. 233.44 for me.. and complaining about imperfections on a shoe everyone wants straight perfection out of box never happens never will happen stop buying the shoes if you complain Everytime about everything on every shoe

That is messed up my cool greys come with big dent on the tie boxs. Charging more money using poor material 😱
I sent two pairs of the Jordan Black Cement 3's back to nike, and footlocker. If the same things shows up in the Legend 11, guess what they are going right back!
Dang that sucks. On a lighter note, my SD pair came in flawless…welp the box took a left hook. But the shoes great
I sent mine back from the shock drop they came damaged. The the box had a crease on the front of the left shoe and the rubber was discolored. Sorry I am not paying $250 for some duds
My gratitudes have that same weird crease out the box. It’s the shit ass patent leather they use low. So thin.
If u grabbed the cement 3s you’ll realize the leather on them cheap too
Anything mass produced has poor quality..
My Pantones from 10 years ago barely have any creasing. They look so good still I'm going to keep still m rocking em and cool greys I don't need any other 11s

Massive GRs always have QC issues unfortunately…it is what it is until it ain’t 🤷🏿♂️😂😂💯
If u don’t get it from the factory what are u doing
We should expect quality control issues with a mass produced shoe! This will never change! 😢

You intro is clear af dope 🔥🔥🔥
Just compared my pair to a rep pair of cherry 11s I have. The patent leather genuinely looks better on them it’s ridiculous how they look creased while being new
Good reps are way better then retail no joke.
Give me that pair you got then. 😂😂😂 ima rock the sole off them joints.
Great video I passed on these and got the air max 95 stash
Bro complain almost every video but that edge up crispy af
Yeah idk about that
Hopefully Nike/ Jordan brand hear his and other influencers’ complaints over time and see everybody in the comments agree, and try to tighten up
Wtf is an edge up
He need to change his nickname for The unlucky guy 🤣😂
@@carlosarce1812 😂😂😂That’s a good one
I didnt have any flaws on my pair from the shock drop
My Cherry's came with a half stitched Jumpman. Never buy a shock drop again 🤷🏾♂️
I got mine from the Shock Drop and I have 0 issues lol
the quality is absolute trash the patent leather is the worst sh!t i ever seen extremely thin. i returned my pair to nike
This clickbait game is wild Forrest, they look totally fine to me and my pair has no issues lol 😂😂😂.

Never knew his real name was Forrest he looks lie a Forrest to be honest makes sense
Man had like a crease on the patten leather on the left shoe smh
That's why I go for Foamposites
The soles look pink....just got mine yesterday and im salty
Mines on the front tipp uneven smh
I wasn’t planning on copping but I got a free pair yesterday and that’s as good as gold
It’s crazy you said that when they make a lot of that certain shoe it seems to be messed up and the price Nike should kick sum money back on them and the black cement 3’s but it seems to be mostly shock drop shoes I don’t get it
My front toe box got a Crease on the toe box
Can’t wait to get a pair 🔥🔥
I don’t know why ppl is complaining about slight issues with the retro 11 or any kicks some of yall going to beat them up and don’t know how to take care of sneakers especially paying over $200anyways so why complain just enjoy them nothing will never be A1 in life
Str8ght outta Paris hood , France, that’s why i don’t buy Nike anymore since 2017. At that price level, the pairs should be perfect without default. I switch to adidas and i didn’t notice that level of defaults on their pairs.
legend blues was a easy pass for me. i never felt this good not getting a air jordan 11 for christmas
So easy. They will only look good for maybe 3 wears. Imma keep rocking my Pantones from 10 to years ago they still look 🔥
Yep the toe cap on mine looks burnt or some shit
Fresh cut my boi 👀🔥
Easy pass for me
These don’t have the same nostalgia they used to have in my opinion.
They say the ones that are made in Vietnam. Are the ones that are messed up? So check and see where they're made, and did you have it
Looks like shopping on internet is dead due to QC issues
I still haven’t got my shock drop pair i ordered
They been playing us on certain pairs for a while now price has gone up quality has gone down
I didn’t realize the whole upper is leather and not mesh like the tongue 👎🏽
You gotta think about it bro that leather ain't going to yellow like the mesh would
It's always been like that on this colorway
@@lamontmcdaniels322no it hasn’t
That’s always been like that do yourhome work

You new age sneaker head Sally’s do realize that these things go on your feet, and crease, and get scratched and get dirty right?
😂😂😂 right
It may be hard to imagine it but some people want to wear their shoes before they crease not come out the box creased but hey maybe when you started they came pre creased idk wasn’t there
Speak for yourself…I take care of all my shoes!! And if I’m buying them and they come out the box like that??? I’m complaining about it sorry 🤷🏾♂️
Just tell us all your shoes are beaters lol
It’s officially a pass for me JB giving us the same cheap ass patent leather just like the gratitudes from last year smh ridiculous!
If you’re unhappy with your pair……RETURN THEM!!!!!!
I don’t even bother going after shock drops, almost all are terrible quality
Just got my pair. It has micro scuffs and some flaws. Is this really what we’re getting for a 200$ + shoe in 2024?
Might as well get the foams baby!!
I see you cut looking fresh there fam
The volume while you're talking on your recent videos is pretty low compared to the intro volume.
I don't see what the issue be about it's a shoe 🤷🏾
Well I mean some people don’t like there shoes to already be messed up before they wear them maybe they just a select few then
I wanna b the one to mess my shoes up lol not before I wear em 😂😂😂
Hmm, deja vu.
Massed produced cheaply
I haven’t seen quality issues on these.. but I understand you gotta make money.
I mean when people talkin about it a lot and sending me pictures just bc you haven’t experienced don’t mean anyone else hasn’t lol
@ true but I gotta come to realization that Jordan brand, Nike isn’t perfect. They’re making millions of pairs. What do you expect you should be used to it at this point but I get where u coming from.
This isnt anything new with these mass releases with jordan check your pairs!!!
