What was that combo leather/suede material they used on this year's powder blue 3s and infrared 10s?

All 100% correct...
If these released with a durabuck build they would've been the closest to the OG's we've seen yet...Especially with the use of the 3M underlay's...In regards to material usage that is...

Seemed like it was an extremely short cut suede...Only ever had each pair in hand while looking at them in store though...Maybe somebody who owns those can chime in but they definitely had a suede feel to me...

Not really sure, I didn't cop them. I think it was a low cut suede but I could be wrong.

Bout the nap youre right its super short. Note that both Powder-Blue 3 and Infrared 10 have grain shining through, therefore it would be a nubuck (grain side sanded and then cut for short nap).
Suede can have a short nap too, but it wouldnt have the grain that leather/nubuck has as its made from underside of the skin and not the grain side.
Just sayin.

I see what you're saying, but to say that dudes shouldn't be buying $200 shoes if they are worried about $15 is kind of a blank statement. I bet most the people on here buying them shouldn't REALLY be doing it.... and also I don't buy $200 shoes and that's kind of the point. 185 is just too damn close to 200 for comfort imo. These shoes should have neverrrrrrrrr gotten to this price point but hey it's happening and nike will still easily sell them so I'm just gonna have to step away from the habit now which is frankly fine with me. I've got roughly 45-50 pairs so I'm good, it just feels a little crappy to have to walk away from a line you grew up loving because the company is exploiting every single aspect of the popularity. can't blame them but it still feels like a slap in the face for some of us

^^^Since the 2000's didn't have 3M...In terms of materials used these would have been the closest to the OG's had they made use of durabuck...Again in terms of materials used and not taking into account the shade of infrared, lack of Nike Air, and blue tint to the clear portion of the soles...
