The ones released here in Manila Philippines bears the more yellow outsole and was manufactured at SZ. Don’t know what SZ means but same with Jubilee’s.
Same with Taiwan, more yellow outsole and stamps from Nike itself, must've come from different factories, and ofc states version will be better just my 1.centavos
Great video and insight. I got my pair. Havent had a pair of AJ 11s since the Countdown Package Breds. I copped at a retail store and am very satisfied. The shoe pops something crazy compared to other sneakers.
I own a pair from the shock drop on SNKRS’s. You can tell by looking at both 11’s on this video, that the Gratitude has less Patent leather than the other 11’s. Is if Nike put their money on the upper, and less on the Patent leather.
US released pairs have milkier outsoles compare to the ones released overseas. Not sure what’s the reasoning behind it, but that’s what I’ve noticed after watching so many reviews on yt 🤷♂️
Mine came with yellowish outsole directly from Taiwan nike + the stamp and gray sole with stamp, conclusion is these pairs had been mass produced to the point that they have been some quality assurance, + better pairs will be on the states side too ofc
Yeah mine has crazy yellowing going on I live in the uk btw and I got mine from the SNKRS app and every other vid I see has a clear sole 😢idk what to do

Yes u are right, the patent leather is too thin. I wore my pair one time and the toe creased badly. I returned my pair to Nike, 230 plus tax was a waste of money😩
I was comparing my cherry 11 to the gratitudes when I got my gratitudes but if u look at the thickness of the patent leather the gratitude patent leather is alot thinner....look from the top of the sneaker where the patent leather meets the mesh or leather....duno why they went cheaper
It's not necessary cheaper. The whole shoe is leather. Even under the patent leather. So the material that the patent leather was placed on is naturally thinner but still more expensive being real leather
@@JasonGKicks I grew up in Arthur Ave., Little Italy, right across the street from Dodge high school. I live now on Pelham Parkway on the two line respect my brother keep doing your thing
I got my Gratitude 11s from StockX and they came with the yellow outsole and the stitching on the strap second from the top, is wrong because the stitching suppose be on the outside not inside! I got my money back! F*%K StockX Plus the insole is different too!
How can i return mine? I got mine from Stockx too and they have that yellowish sole. I’m confused because on SNEAKER BAR DETROIT website they have the sole with the exact yellow sole too. Also on Nike website they also have yellow sole??
@@OldSchoolJules good shit! I wish the people would come together and sue them mfs, pressure nike to sue both goat and stockx. I fkn hate goat sooo much, and wish nike would do something about these company's
Excellent content as always. We really needed Nike patent leather quality control addressing, so thanks for the video. May I ask if everyone could help support Jason’s channel by liking and subscribing his videos for all the hard work he puts in so he can carry on providing us with his excellent content. Many thanks
Cheers to that! I've bought a couple of kicks breakfast of his content, it's different, it's personal, you get the feeling of what a person who has paid lots of money would really want to know. Thank you too for spreading the love of this channel and we thank @JasonGKicks for the valuable insight he shares 👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
The cool greys QC was horrible! Scratched patent, smeared glue on the patent, and cuts were higher than the opposite shoe. I got a pair from Footlocker and JD. Both had QC issues. I seen pairs in a local Shiekh store, and they also had the same issue. Same with the soles on the toe box and heel.
Mine were much worse than "normal wear" on the patent leather. They had to be returned. Not sure why some pairs are worse than others. My concords and breds look great. The Gratitudes didn't survive 1 wear for me. Creasing was really bad. I wish I could show you the pics
I got mine stock drop and after wearing 1 time noticed the patent leather creased like a MF. My chill greys have been worn several times and no issue with them
Their is nothing wrong with the Jordan 11s gratitude. Got my first pair in Nike shock drop in November, then grabbed my 2nd pair at footlocker today… could have gotten a third but 2 is enough
yeah i did hear things about the patent leather quality and I'm glad its being blown out of proportion. I'm definitely going to double up on these. i have in-store and online EA from Finish Line and have a $20 coupon for the in-store pair. I also did a DSG raffle and kinda hope i don't hit because i don't need 3 pairs lol
It is true, EU/UK release have the more "pre-yellowed" outsole. Ordered straight from Nike here in The Netherlands. And u said the real problem is the yellowing on the outsole, well, who knows the pre-yellowed version will age better as it's yellow already. I dunno, anyway great vid man keep it up. Personally I don't think the yellow sole ruins the aesthetic of the shoe.
Mines came with small scratch marks and scuff marks mot very visible but i know they're on the patent leather Nike need to do sumthin about these quality control issues starting to think Nike dont give a dam about us consumers anymore smh.
If we're talking about the creases ..it's a big deal. If your boss is tired of seeing you coming to work in different Jordans...and walks up to you and asks... And the creases? It's a big deal.
Great video bro. Very informative. I was in two minds whether to get these today but having seen your video on the Jordan 3 navy blue due to release soon I would rather spend my money on those than the gratitudes.
I got a pair in-store at a footlocker in Canada, it's a lighter outsole like the "US" pair. It looks really good. I just got a second pair from Snkrs Canada (online) the pair got shipped from Europe like usual, and that pair is very dark yellow, which I hate.... anyways there are two versions from different factories... I'll be returning the yellow quickly
I didn't get these i like the Neopoliten so much better and it is made so good no abnormal creasing and it is just a beautiful shoe i wish they would've made in full sizing so everyone could experience them
The one that I got from NIKE app has yellow outsole. I even checked the ones that NIKE shops/store sold here in the Philippines have yellow outsoles. Hopefully NIKE will release official statement on this matter.
Hi J, these are coming out at 13:00 SAST (06:00 New York). Should I be really concerned about the patent leather quality? I've got the Low Blazer Saccai's (white) also in patent leather and it's good. How do you the 11's compare to it? I'm just asking, decision to buy will be mine only 😂. Thanks bro and Happy Saturday to you all in this community 🎉👏🏾😊
@@JasonGKicksthats what im talkin bout. Shoes are ment to be worn and they will crease. I got mines onnshock drop and wore them 2 or 3 times and they got some creasing but idc. Got my 2nd pair today from finishline with the EA and 20 off
No the fake pair are definitely not coming from Nike. Not true I don’t know. I understand why people given the wrong information on that I own a pair from Nike and Footlocker and they are same color. They definitely not the same color very false good video of giving information in the breakdown because everything you say about the gratitude. The real one in the pad is soft and I believe they did it for a reason so it won’t look as bad when it does crease so the material don’t look as bad from the older pairs that’s been coming out with the thicker pad leather good shoe. Good video. Good bro. Good information once again, public announcement. Those yellowish looking souls on the gratitude are not Nike brand. Point blank.💯
lol but all shoes come from China regardless 😂 even legit Nike. who ever said that don’t make sense. Yeah, if I don’t get my shoe from Nike, dsg jd sports or other reputable resources. I’ll take the L and keep moving . Not worth the risk in my humble opinion. Double up is a must 🔥
Not getting them at all. Easy pass for me. Especially knowing everyone will be wearing them 🤦🏾♂️ now if they make the mid snake skins then that would be dope.
All these fakes is why the market on these is so low, foofoos under cutting legit pairs and everyone is like "ill wait and cop under retail on stock n goat" lol... muhahaha!! 😂
