I was getting irritated when people kept referring the Cavs and '12 Blk/red 4s suede.
So I decided to make this thread.

people will keep calling it suede. So many noobs don't know the difference between suede and nubuck they think it's the same.

Most the noobs probably never seen the Raging Bull 5s or the Red/black 21s in person.

I always wondered why dudes never complained about the XVIII's, they always looked awful to me with that suede.
