They changed it back to real patent leather on this one. It’s a piece of leather with patent coating on it rather than a synthetic piece all around. I’ve only worn my pair out once and don’t have creasing like that but I think the trade off may be a little less stiffness in the upper and a more comfortable fit. But that’s only speculation on my part.None of them have been like the OG patent but my Concords, SJs and playoff retros have been worn way more than two times and don’t look like that. That’s pretty bad, honestly. And I’m not someone who typically worries about creasing, either.
I called out the creasing in the first on-foot in this thread and got laughed at lol
