thats what i thought, so soft and pliable like leather should be. even for the high side of resale im happy with themi have both and the Backboards has the nod for quality, but Chicagos are really good too.

Obvi this IMO and there will be people coming out of the woodworks or from nearby to detest my views.
I was blessed enough to obtain 2 Chicagos through raffles as well as a pair of the SBB through raffles. Reason I bring this up is bc I have more than one pair of the Chis to compare these to. Comparing both... the leather is pretty much identical to the SBB. The overall quality used on both models trump other releases this year. There are no other models released this year where you can compare them to these two models.
The caftsmanship, lack of **** ups i.e. glue stains, fabric sticking out, or anything else we the OCD community would complain about, are simply not there. I feel like the Chinese factory workers took extra time when sewing these together. Maybe they had the AC turned up real high, therefore people were not used to the normal suffering conditions and were blessed enough to have cool air for a change. Ultimately, that collective happiness resulted in a combined conducive effort to produce a model such as these. Last I heard, they disconnected the AC due to high usage rates, so I doubt we'll ever see a great model such as these two.
I'm deadfor the prices they charge us for retros they can afford to plug that dam AC unit back in but if chicagos are really the same quality as the SBB then i can see why the fuss for them for sure
These might because of the soft material they used. Mine haven't done that and I've worn them 10+ times for hours. It also could be that they creased like that because of wearing them while driving.
Do all 1's heels do this or is it just these cause the leather is so soft?
Fake shoes can be sold in an authentic box. Legit check the shoes not the box.

Ha! I'd rather tape the insoles to my shins.
Been comparing both my shattereds and Chicagos leather to my friends and pics online. Has anyone noticed some have more of a tumbled Leather look than others? Even on my backboards, my left shoe has a differnt looking and better leather look than my right shoe.
SBB > chi 1 I have 3 pairs of SBB all buttery the chi 1s quality just didn't do it for me maybe it's the pair I got ill see what my second pair is like when I double up.
wait what???Only look like that because you are rocking joggers with AJ1
300 shipped is a deal IMO.
Someone needs to convince me... Would you cop for $300USD shipped? Or should I risk it and wait for a slightly better deal (maybe $280-290) or watch them skyrocket in price again? lol
