Got my Cali's in today. I see what everyone was saying about the "suede" on the brown part. Still not too bad though. Leather is nice. Definitely glad I didn't sleep on these.
yeah the suede aint all that i woulnt call it completely crappy but decent. the leather on the other hand pretty nice.
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.
Loving the leather quality. Like stated before the suede is eh but the shoes upper consists of that nice leather with only the suede on the quarter panels so that + retail + cali resident = a keeper with an instant lace swap
