These are actually pretty good. The suede's not like CDP quality suede so that's a plus. In fact, it seems to resemble nubuck quite well. I don't have much of a problem with it being suede as long as it still feels great and looks nice. Besides, the only difference between nubuck and suede as you all may ever well know is nubuck is made from the outer hide of the cow, whereas suede is from the inner hide (though nubuck is known to be tougher). But a great shoe is a great shoe. Picked these up at 10 in the morning, no line for them, got them along with some Alpha 1s and went straight home. JB releases should be like this all the time, no lines and easily obtainable.
Lastly, its good that they made these suede, to somehow set it apart from the older retroes.
