These are so clearly and obviously SBBs that it’s not funny, but obviously there’s always going to be a contingent of people who say they’re not, so whatever.
But let’s be real...if they weren’t atrocious, and they turned out to be dope and what everyone was hoping for (Orange/Black in Blk/Red color blocking using NORMAL LEATHER), NO ONE would be trying to defend the notion that they are somehow not SBBs. Insole or not, being called SBB or not by Nike/JB officially, all those that keep saying they’re not SBB wouldn’t be saying so. But most don’t like them, they don’t have the same love/admiration/hype surrounding them, and most don’t like what they did to them (in particular the leather), so many keep trying to explain them away as NOT being SBBs.
