I wrote a review on them, hehe. What more could you ask for? If you are looking for a more descriptive explanation of the leather, well umm, it's definitely a premium leather. It's not soft or supple, like some premium releases, and it's not as tough or stiff as Jason Jesse 003 Syndicates leather. I tried to take a few good pics up close of the leather grain, but I guess you'd just have to wait until you get it in your hands.

(and hey, don't call me a moderator! That's incorrect, lol!)

I was hopping it would be a leather that is somewhat in between the Filson Leather and Brooks...

Here, judge for yourselves:

You can see the grain of the leather, like on the bones, where they cut the leather. You can also see there's a slight crackle to the leather, unlike the JJ 003's. It's a great quality leather still, but I can't compare the leather to another shoe. Leather. (Just had to throw that one in there, because I noticed I was using the word too much, like a 5 year old, lol)

moved from the supreme thread.

That leather looks nice reminds me of how the premios get when there broken in along the

creases. Just not as shiny.

Something tells me Blends will come out victorious..
This is an easy one on one side we have grandma's rose pattern shoes and on the other side we have a leather sk8-hi with a bone and is limited to 100 pairs with no nearly the hype of grandma's new shoes
I just hope I can get mine tomorrow :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Sadly, to not ship outside usa also benefits those vultures that only want the shoes to get a profit on Ebay.
And let out people that really want a pair for their own.
That's really sick and very unfair.
