Are Nike products actually high-quality and worth the money or are they just over-hyped

Depends...I had some limited edition tecmo bowl Bo Jackson trainers and they were falling apart quick, had to get a refund at the Nike store. Also the last pair of air forces I had...the bottom somehow cracked and split open after a few months..smh But my last pair of Nikes were the flight 89 joints, those lasted years. I would buy those again but i'm 95% off nikes these days....
expect Air Force ones to last a long time brehs.

Yes they are. A lot of the retro Jordan's and other 80s and 90s retroed stuff isn't as good as the OG's but quality is much better than some shoes at payless, Walmart, etc. Try playing basketball or running in some payless, walmart, etc shoes vs some Nike's and your feet will know the difference. :pachaha:

I got some foamposites from 2002 and those SOB's are damn near indestructible. :pachaha:

Most things I believe are covered under a 2 year warranty.

The Vapormax isn’t a running shoe though...they specifically told me not to run heavy in mines at the footlocker. I had mine for a year with no problems

Depends on the product honestly. The price point usually signifies the quality from what I was told by someone whose pops designed the process of making sneakers. You can also tell when looking at them. Tech fleece is nice but it gets ruined quickly for its price point. Overall I’d say the quality is 50/50 maybe 60/40 with quality always being the minority.

Top 4
they are high quality.


go buy some bootlegs and watch them fall apart in a week.

most my nike shoes are the most comfortable shoes that i've ever owned. :yeshrug:

this is false
most good reps are made by the same people who work at the nike factory
I watched a documentary the other day this guy worked at a nike factory in china making shoes, he quit bought the same material used and started his own ish making bootlegs
