Picked up the acronyms downtown AF1s yesterday. Here's a few thoughts:
I went true to size. Length wise I probably could have sized down but the width on these things are narrow. (I wear 10.5 in SF AF1s, jordan 1s, yeezy v2s, ultra boosts).
Quality on them is great. Leather is tumbled at...
His clothes aren't terribly expensive in comparison to other designers. Hoping he'll keep the price down to $200 range.

I use a dry suede and nubuck cleaner. Usually comes in a set with an eraser and a brush. People say Jason markks version is good, I prefer the Allen Edmonds brand.
