Suggest checking out Marshalls. Mine had couple 1400, 990 mids and 997 deconstructed and 770, which I am not too familiar with. Usually never have any NB at my local store.
 
Around May 2012.

Just looked at your posted pics more closely and they do look like leather. All the 1300DB I have seen have nubuck front and mid panels with a suede heal. My guess is the owner used some kind of heavy protectant or something on the nubuck portion which gave them this look. Or possible mistake, one off with leather? Asking the seller would give the best answer.

maybe they used something like this on the nubuck? https://www.valmour.com/advices/converting-nubuck-into-smooth-leather.html
Thanks zboy zboy and vegetaray123 vegetaray123 . I am not aware that nubuck can be turned into smooth leather and i am a big fan of smooth leather on NB. That say looks like it took quite a bit of time, skills and costs for raw materials. That seller did a pretty good job.
 
Damn! I don’t think there was this much commotion for the last 1300JP drop :lol:
I remember getting 2 pairs easily and let one go for retail in here. Im chilling with my 2015’s, but I’m glad everyone who wanted them copped. The hype bug is definitely real.

Yeah I remember too—debating to spend 5 bills on stockx vs. investing in actual stocks.
