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."
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
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 💪
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.
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 RU-vidr comment on the squeaking.. Well Mike Rich recently un-DS’d his Flint 13’s & was highly disappointed by the tongue squeaking
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
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
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
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
i have the 13 playoffs and i don't think I'm getting rid of them but i haven't worn them yet. I've worn my gratitudes a bunch still but that's mostly because my son has the gratitudes
i said i know shoes crease.. and i am fine with creasing and even like it on other shoes... but not 11s.... and these are creased worse than 4 other pairs of 11s that I've had for years after 3 wears.... why you going to tell try to tell me that shoes crease as if i didn't know??????????
@@SuperDanTheShoeManDan why you sounding butthurt off a comment some randoms dude made on RU-vid , it was sarcasm bro I know you know shoes crease…you made a video about shoes creasing bro so obviously I know you know shoes crease and in particular Jordan 11’a, sorry bro we wore or J’s and hooped in them we didn’t put them on a pedestal they were just cool footwear to us, disregard my comment bro it’s not that serious
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
My 11 lows were creased up pretty bad and i didn’t even wear them a lot so I’ll probably pass on these 11 even though they look nice 🔥 and the bottom of the 11s was very squeaky for me idk about everyone else
Honestly i return mine have all the 11 they never crease this bad i wore them for like 2 hours an they got like yours maybe i said to myself im walking wrong with them lol i took them back got my 248 back !!
I just told them the truth I said there defective an wanted to swap for a different pair or go down a size to see if they wouldn't crease so bad so they gave me my money back!!
It was dicks sporting goods yea don't think that would be a good idea going down a size I think this shoe should of not been mass-produced that's why is like that if they wr to make it like the Concord 11 release we wouldn't have had this problem!!
U must walk hard big man (pause) cuz most my 11’s ain’t even crease like that ..maybe my win like 96’s or my legend blues but all my other 11’s aight..my win like 96’s use to squeak but powder in the back heel will fix that 🤷🏾♂️
I’m so appreciative of this video and others like it because I like the look of the shoe but the creasing (and squeaking) is a deal breaker for me. I had a pair of Cap n Gowns that squeaked and it’s lowkey embarrassing 😂
The Graditudes patient leather is actually made of REAL leather. Just like the 72 10s. Look at the cut thats why they crease. DO YOUR RESEARCH. The patient leather is made of a cheap a$$ material on the concords and space jams
That research doesn't change the fact. These are creasing WAY worse than any of my other 11s have. I dislike that. You can do whatever research ahead of time to know what it's made out of... this video shows you what that actually means. It means it's not wearing like a normal 11. IMO... give me the cheaper stuff so I can wear it.
did you watch the video bruh? these have creased more in 3 to 4 wears than my cool greys, concords or legends. is that what you want out of your $225 2023 gratitudes??
@@SuperDanTheShoeMan it is wut it is just accept it. It's 2023 not 2001. Materials change and QC too. Nike is charging too much for wut it really worth IYKYK
@@SuperDanTheShoeMan you're a metro loser complaining about your first world privilege. Get off social media, get off your phone, go outside, and enjoy wearing shoes.
