even the 99 leather wasnt really premium. it was right in the middle of the road, actually. it pretty much was standard non tumbled Nike leather for the time.only the tumbled leather shoes that JB produced back then had the top notch quality and feel.Originally Posted by trappedintime
As I said earlier in this thread, when the final product comes through it looks pretty solid. Even reading into samples in the least bit is a waste of time, as has been proven numerous times this year alone. Does anyone actually believe you're going to get nice premium leather on a IV retro? Hasn't happened since '99. It is what it is, but if the GS is any indication of the final men's run, it won't be any worse than the leather of the military blues or mars. Expecting more from a GR IV is just being out of touch with reality.
