The leather on the original was tumbled and was very good quality. The only part of the original that was questionable quality was the panel that you're touching at 2:48 when you say "suede nubuck material". That particular panel was different than the rest of the suede/nubuck on the shoe, which you couldn't tell when they were brand new out of the box, but after time, it would be prone to discoloration and had a tendency to turn kind of greenish on everyone's pairs. It was noticeably softer material than what was used on the perforated sections, reminding me a bit of what they use on the Jordan 12 Reverse Flu Game upper. I do believe the original version used durabuck and not nubuck, as most Nikes did around that time.
Hardest shoe ever to put on DONT go down half size if anything go up half a size I always cut off the top strap Shows the tongue better and much easier to put on
Man I hope these aren’t as hard to put on as the white pair I snagged a few years ago! Great pickup, this is the best colorway imo
Always appreciate the reviews 🙏🏾
Still have my 2015 pair! Classic shoe and dope review!!
