I like different opinions as well until people start calling me out of my name

spicyyyyyy

Why would they charge the same price if Shattered Backboards has some “high quality leather”?

Because they are buying leather in economies of scale. That "high quality leather" is probably purchased by the ton.

@ these clueless adults thinking JB using real leather

Do you have any proof stating otherwise?

I'm not claiming to know JB's exact material spec list or manufacturing processes, but I don't think I've seen anything that specifically states that they don't use real leather for at least some of the shoe panels.

Y'all it's taco Tuesday, only time cows should be talked about on Tuesday is if we're talkin carne asada. Also in other news, got catcalled by a lady from her car when I was on my way to the library. I like to think it was the fit with the 1s. Is this what they call clout?

For me that strong chemical smell ppl like from fresh pairs is a dead giveaway that there’s no genuine leather shoes in that box

I haven’t seen anything that states they use “genuine” leather on the shoe panels

That smell is from adhesives; it's got nothing to do with the leather.

Some folks in here gonna very disappointed when they find out the leather seats on most cars are not real lol

Except for the examples just given to you by vinnuendo ? Or the link I posted from Complex.com?

Or the links to any Jordan 1 OG High, that specifically states that "genuine leather" was used, depending on the colorway?

Again, I am still waiting to see any proof that shows that they don't use ANY real leather on 1's.

I don't care what grade of Leather a remaster 1 has or whether or not we get synthetic or genuine as long as they don't feel like this:

Than Im all good. Also, these should get a remaster treatment with the good materials and new mold cuz they are too clean.

That smell is from adhesives; it's got nothing to do with the leather.

I’m sure my pairs from common projects also used glue but they still smell like leather out the box. Real leather has a very long lasting smell, longer than any glue to dry up

 

[squatchnt]

Nike definitely markets these as full grain leather in most cases, sometimes premium leather. Material stickers on euro pairs also indicate the upper is leather. can't recall if it's ever said " genuine " leather. BK sells 10 nuggets for a buck but they don't say chicken nuggets

 

[rooster]

10 nuggets for a dollar?
For that price you getting 10% chicken

 

[vinnuendo]

10 nuggets for a dollar?
For that price you getting 10% chicken

rooster knows
