I know there are plenty of shots of the calis floating around, but wanted to share a detail shot or two... The leather is indeed nice... a touch thicker than most recent releases. And definitely soft, not plasticky at all. The brown suede is short, but I don't really mind it... it kind of works with the shoe. I am a bit disappointed with the QC - of my pair at least. Lots of glue (even a spot on the middle of the toebox), some white junk here and there above the midsole, some of the threads are discolored... not the best. But I still like 'em. As a clean white-based high with some accents, they're pretty solid.
