Jordan Brand Quality has went to Shit!

I have been complaining along with countless others of the quality of Jordan sneakers coming out these past few years. I have experienced this low quality several times, and today I experienced it yet again. Probably the worse experience yet.....Above is a pic of my 2011 Retro VII Bordeaux's in which there is a fucking Rip in the left side upper of the right shoe that came from two wears! Thats right two fuckin wears! How the fuck does this happen?

I called customer service and per the representative, if I filed a claim and sent the shoes in to be inspected then I may receive a "refund voucher" for the Retail price of the shoe. That is if the claim is approved. I guess having the "smoking gun" in this case the pair of shoes that are damaged after 2 wears is not good enough to guarantee me a refund. This is all irrelevant to me as I bought this pair because I like this silhouette and colorway and you can't even by a pair of these now for less than $200 or more. So its not like I can get the voucher and by another pair of the same as they don't make them anymore! Also why do I have to get a voucher? Why can't I get cash?....I paid cash!

This is just insult to injury and really furthers my separation from a brand that makes billions of dollars a year and cant take care of it's OG consumers and fan base. Jordan brand continues to lower quality and up their prices year after year! A quick search on the internet will lead you to various complaints of faulty JB products. I for one am fed up! No more J's for me unless its to make a quick buck.!! Fuck You JB!

Anyone else have similar experiences with JB product they want to share?

Release Reminder! And yes we are still alive!

What up people! So just a friendly neighborhood release reminder and a shout to everyone! I let the whole month of May slip by without a single post! I will try not to let that happen again, we are alive and well and still grindin! We got some new shit coming out but keep running into delays, but we will get there hopefully soon! Anyway on to the release reminder, Air Jordan III "Tru Blue" release this Saturday June 4th 2011 at a retailer near you. They look really sexy!....looks like they will be a solid pick up, but I will let you decide once you get your hands on them. They are retailing for $150 so at least JB is not jacking up the price while lowering the quality as they have in the past! Hit us up if you cop'em and give us a review.

Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer Low Premium “Manny Pacquiao”

Get your Zoom Huarache Trainer Lows "Manny Pacquiao" Style! These are available RIGHT NOW! ($110) at Nike. Due to a glitch at the Nike store there was a delay in release last night so it may be a good thing for those who wanna cop. Get'em while the gettin is good! These look like they are nice and comfy!

New Jordan Spizike “Knicks” PEs

Spike Lee took to twitter and unveiled some new Spizike "Knicks" player exclusives. They look clean, but unfortunately from past experience I would never buy a pair of Spizikes again. They are very cheaply made (at least the pair I have). The paint on the midsole came peeling of within 2 wears. And at a retail of $175 I would not expect the shoes paint to come off with one or two wears. Ridiculous! Anybody else have a pair that did this? Anybody disagree and have a pair that stayed in good shape?

Jordan Fly Wade

JB has finally unveiled DWades signature shoe. It is supposedly the lightest Jordan Brand shoe to date, coming in at just 13 ounces! US release looks to be May 5th 2011 (Always subject to change) and they will retail for $140. For full specs, a more detailed look and full article go here

Release Reminder! Air Jordan VII (7) Retro – Bordeaux

Just a brief reminder the AJ VII Retro - "Bordeaux" will be releasing Saturday April 16th at a retailer near you! Definately a must cop for alot of collectors out there. Lets just hope the quality is better than the "Orions" cuz I heard those were garbage as far as quality of material! Per everything I have read say these will retail for $160! Come on Jordan Brand stop raising the price and lowering the quality!
