The quartersnacks suede is very good. Very soft and almost oily to the touch. Comparing it to my Ronnie Fieg Brazils, its a notch below it but FAR from average.And it's unfair to compare anything to American Made NB. Best quality sneakers money can buy and its not even close.
If you have the chance to cop the quartersnacks at below retail, which currently be had from shoejocky on eBay, do it. It's all in the details. The insole, the logo, the suede, the 3M outline, nylon tongue, extra stuffed tongue, etc.
Simply put: Believe the hype
