Ya'll got way too much time on your hands :lol:
 


Nice video, but consulting with a leather expert whose primary focus is on high end leather products for people with big money is a bit odd to be honest. We're talking about mass produced basketball sneakers here. I did take note of what the man said about Nike/JB possibly going the route they did on the '25 SBB to possibly lessen the chance of the leather material breaking down too much over time.

I mean he does comment that he understands these are mass produced.

Either way, he said the 2015s were better quality overall but didn’t exactly rate them very high, relative to other leather footwear, which makes sense since they never were a $400+ retail pair of shoes.

Thanks for the cliff notes, cuz I wasn't sitting through a 30 minute video :lol
Idk why some cats want people to hate the 2025 pair so bad, but for $130 shipped, I have 0 complaints :nthat:
 
LOL…he basically took a dump on the 85 Breds.

So many opinions about how the 85 cut use of thicker, stiffer leather was somehow a repudiation of the longstanding myth that the 2015 SBB had nice leather by JB standards.

Opinions are like *******s. Everyone has one.
 
I mean it’s a fact that Nike uses cheap leather. To expect anything else would just be silly. That said, some shoes are a lot worse than others. If the price is worth the value to you then so be it. People get really defensive to justify their purchase for whatever reason.

This particular pair is fine in my eyes. Retail? Naw, but that’s just me. These go on discount and I’m in
 
Yeah these are good.
These definitely are “smaller” in toe box. Assuming it’s due to the new mold but these are great man.

These get to 99.97 like the UNC’s did in doubling

The same for me as well; Orange is my favorite color and I know these will last a long time.

I think you hit the nail on the head here.

For $185, these aren’t worth retail but at $130 or lower, they are fine for what they are.
 
With hype being finally gone....wonder how chicagos or black and reds would do if a full blown GR 👀
