Is anyone a collector? I am somewhat of a collector and have noticed a massive drop in the quality of Jordan's presently being released. Cheaply made with pleather, and all that crap. Jordan's were once considered to be premium items with a limited stock for each release and now the market is just absolutely filled with the shitty new releases of the shoes. My collection: Jordan Chicago 10 Jordan Royal Blue 18 Jordan 21 Italian Red Suede Jordan 22 PE Chicago Jordan Future Low Kyrie 2 Duke LeBron 4 Navy/White LeBron 9 Kentucky Foamposite Fighter Jets Griffeys I also used to have a pair of Jordan True Blue 3's and Jordan Aqua 8's. Miss the TB3's. What do y'all have in your set? I'd imagine a lot of you older folks and dads have the Nike Air 'Dad' 1 (Air Monarchs). Or the New Balance equivalent.
I'm certainly not a collector, but a comfy shoe is a comfy shoe. I used to wear Reebok Classic for work and play. A pair would last a year or so of heavy wear. Now the uppers fall apart before the tread has hardly any wear on them. Cheap labor gives you cheap products.
I remember when Matt Bonner got his New Balance endorsement about 4 years ago. He wore a pair of them in a game and someone accidentally stepped on the heel and tore the entire sole off. Edit:
