If by LM you are referring to the Lance Mountains, yes, all panels are leather. Yin Yangs and Chicagos have plastic swooshes and collars. The only other recent full leather J1's I can think of off the top of my head are the UNC's, Cyber Mondays, and black toes. Yes 85's had a plastic swoosh, but...

So with a plastic swoosh and collar, no way these are better than the LM's, the LM's are butter throughout.

Exactly. When pics first surfaced of the new essentials pack I brought up the fact they they finally switched the lining of the shoe from that rough textured ****, to smooth lines, somewhat closer to the 85's... no one responded, and no one else has brought it up since. This is a major change...

Def nothing wrong with those royals. I have Chicagos with two different tongues, and those weren't even sold as a b grade. I'd pay $70 over retail on those all day.

I know it sounds silly, but do they pass the smell test? If it's minor discrepancies in QC, but they have that same strong glue smell... good chance they're real.

Was anxiously waiting for the triple black, but now I'm on the fence whether I should just get the BHM, will be cheaper, and the leather seems to be much better, but that velcro ish is pretty **** haha. Sucks that they went with a plastic ankle collar on the triple blacks.

So basically like the swoosh on the 2016 chicago? Is the ankle collar the same plastic material, or is that section plush as well?

Yeah looks like some of the cheaper weird nubuck/durabuck used on SB dunk Highs from the last few years.

Same boat, though FTL is so iffy for when they actually accept the discount codes, that there's a chance they won't even take it on these pairs when/if they show up.

What's the actual color name on the box for the Spike Lee 1's? Midnight Navy? Looks almost purplish. Very sick.

So what's actually up with the Sails and Triple Blacks? Are they actually a limited/over seas release? I can get them on Nike.ca in Canada, but was hoping to try a $20 off coupon at FTL. No one at FTL seems to know what's up with these. Not even seeing early reviews or on feets with these...

Sup is the only one that gets what I was saying here... I don't support fakes. Don't own any. And I would never buy a fake of an existing colorway... what I'm saying here, is how is what a factory has done here, deconstructing a jordan shoe, and rebuilding this colorway that doesn't exist...

The Kaws 1 are $168 and says there's 55000 pieces haha. Actually kinda tempted to order. **** it... people be paying $1000's for "customs" these days that are essentially a fake jordan 1 made out of premium materials. These are kinda the same thing, just made in a factory, so in a sense they're...

Been saying this. Totally. Even though the collar and swoosh are synthetic, still one of the nicest pairs especially because of the toe box.

Beautiful. Still wish the Breds and Royals had been made like this. They just wear in so nice when they're soft full grain.

Anyone else notice they changed the lining in these? Looks like it will be less scratchy than the current waffely type lining they use. They should really just go back to the flat smooth lining like the 85's. Really wish Nike would speak on their design choices, curious why they always...

LOL. Thanks for saving me the trouble of going back to find that quote haha.

A lot of people here still don't know the difference between what an actual synthetic is, and what genuine leather is... The 2015 Chicago is the best example of both. Calling them garbage is ludicrous. The red and white portions are genuine leather, and a very nice plush quality. The black...

Hoping the Triple Black leather is close to the BHM Leather, then I won't feel bad for skipping those. Triple black are a perfect shoe if you work a casual office 9-5.

He got the same QC issue as many adult pairs, and not all GS pairs had this issue. Seems more frequent on men's pairs actually. I have both men's and GS pairs and the materials are identical. The cuts might be slightly different, but if your foot is that small a GS pair isn't going to look much...
