Shoutout to you for the Bible verse you included. Not religious fr but that was truly peaceful and something to reflect on myself. Much love man. Big like on the video . Have a good day ❤️🤝
After watching Wear Testers review video on the gratitude 11’s. He mentioned that all previous 11’s were made with cheap patent leather. That’s why they are stiffer. These 11’s are made with actual leather with a patent coating layer on top of the leather. Makes sense why they crease easily.
Is it worth it for that price? and after them creasing so easy? Thanks for your opinion bro 💯. Been going back and forth whether I should or not. Especially after you wearing them on feet for a bit.
Ima say the reason might be cuz the patent leather is genuine leather that's been bonded as per nightingale you can see the cuts especially next to the cool greys which looks to be synthetic. Also, the 45s are from '18
@SuperDanTheShoeMan 🤣 it has to be that reason cuz I've worn my 72-10s quite a bit since release and no ceasing. Here's a direct quote of wha he explained. "The tongue is leather itself, so is the patent leather rand, so a lot of the older retros of the shoe were actually fake patent leather or synthetic patent leather. So it was just kind of like a synthetic panel with that shiny coating on top. This is actually a leather piece with the shiny coating on top of that, so how they spray on the polyurethane coat on top of like regular leather similar, but instead of spraying it on it's just a different sheet of fabric that they then bond to it.. you can actually see it in some of the cut lines and everything where you can see the actual fibers from the leather inside of there."
Thanks for the honesty of the squeaky tongues.. I have many J’s from th last few years whether it’s white leather tongue 13’sor recent Jordan 7 midsoles that squeak & no sneaker TH-camr comment on the squeaking.. Well Mike Rich recently un-DS’d his Flint 13’s & was highly disappointed by the tongue squeaking
Mine are the same. I have a pair of sun like 96s that I wear at least once a week and they look better than my gratitudes. I only wore them one day smh. Crazy how we pay so much for low qual
It depends on the factory. SZ on the tag had the thicker cut patent leather and creased less. You probably have a LNM, LNM3-4 pair like I do and the PL is so thin. Its very disappointing.
good to know. I'll check that out! after wearing them a bit more they haven't creased much worse than they did after just the first few wears... I guess that's good
Great video as always. A little disappointing that they creased on you after 3 days. I hit on my gratitudes on the shock drop and i have been keeping them on ice. I was hoping that they would have been a shoe that would age well since they had they have the full leather upper. We just got to enjoy the this season. Maranatha
Otherwise I think they will age nicely... Much less yellowing and dirt that you can't get out.... but dang the creases!!!! Yeah we'll focus on other stuff and not let the crease actually get us down.
I still like my pair alot. My first 11s are the bred 11s and these gratitudes are my 4th pair of 11s and these are better than the 2006 dmp without a doubt. Can’t go wrong with these. These fit comfortable to me and no problems on my pair got mines from Shock drop. My pair’s quality is amazing maybe I got lucky idk how people getting their pairs messed up
Gratitudes are clean but man I'd probably only wear them to church then put them up afterwards 😂 Gratitude is a cool name too, grateful for the cross and the blood that JESUS shed 💪
I didn’t wanna believe it but then I compared the Neapolitan 11s patent leather to the gratitude 11 patent leather at my job the leather was more thick on the Neapolitans! 🤦🏾♂️ this is RIDICULOUS
@@SuperDanTheShoeMan it’s my right one that’s terrible I’m actually wondering if crease protector would help. I’ve never used em so not sure if it’s something that’d help on these. Like I said my other 11s years older don’t crease like this
It’s a sad day when Nike keep going up in price on Jordan’s and we are getting low quality products my gratitude 11’s came from Nike with a nasty crease in the toe for the money we all pay as sneaker collectors or enthusiast Nike needs to do better
I don't believe anyone would KNOW for sure... but if it's really true that the patent leather on these is higher quality or more real leather than other 11s, then I'd say it's likely that they really did try to give us a more quality product.... What I said in this video that a lot of people didn't see is that I don't mind creases on any of my Jordan's EXCEPT for 11s. My first 11s in 1996 when I was in Elementary school creased TERRIBLY. Maybe they were using the more real leather back then too. So maybe Nike tried to give us better quality and in doing so it turns out that it wears worse. So for me... give me the synthetic stuff patent on 11s.....
You bought up a good point there with the OG I had a pair back than too in elementary school and I beat the breaks off of them so you may be right with Nike using the real stuff I’m with you just give me the synthetic stuff on Jordan 11 so they last longer at least with the patent leather thank for your video and letting us the consumer know what the deal is btw I had to sub to your channel thanks
WOOOOW THANK YOU LOL NOW IM NOT BUYING THEM. 11'S USUALLY CREASE for me but not after long time of wearing them and years after I've had em for awhile but these look like they are going to crease 1st time wearing lol im good
Concords with the 45 was actually worm by MJ against the Magic in the 2nd round in ‘95. Nike didn’t have time to modify but Jordan decided to bring them out. The steal from Nick Anderson, MJ was rocking them…
Jordan wore 45 when he came back from retirement and won his 4th championship with the 11s: “I didn't want to wear 23 because I knew my father wasn't there to watch me, and I felt it was a new beginning and 45 was my first number when I was playing in high school." -MJ

That research doesn't change the fact. These are creasing WAY worse than any of my other 11s have. I dislike that.

You should review the 85’ black and white Jordan 1
85 Black and white. that's not the panda that's coming out soon is it? When did this one release?
Thin resin. Really isn't an excuse for it. Nike knows that 11s are the creme de la creme of Jordans. So, to do that is just terrible oversight.
thin outer layer? i think i remember hearing these were more real leather too
@SuperDanTheShoeMan yes the resin that gives it the gloss coating. Its too thin. That's why it's creasing like that.
