Footlock app pair arrived fast (Monday).
Nice tumbled leather. Made in Indonesia.
 
I love sneaker nerds. They're not too far removed from computer geeks compare/contrasting CPU and GPU brands.
 
Went out to Champs today to see if they had a pair on display and they did.

I can now say with absolute certainty that the leather on the 2015s is infinitely better and it’s not close.

Doesn’t mean the 2025s aren’t a good shoe worth having, but any shoetuber saying the materials aren’t that far apart are flat wrong.

So, not buttery smooth to the touch?

I really don’t think they are that far apart. The black leather on the 2015 was certainly nothing to write home about.

Really? I had the 2015's, dont have the 2025's but they are in my store and the side panel leather is very similar to me. The main difference to me is the swoosh size and the toe box but that's because the 1's went through a silent mold change a few years ago.

That was my feeling after going over both shoes.

I’m fine if you had a different take.
 
He just feels the need to remind us every chance he gets so he can justify the $250 or whatever he dropped on a used pair like 6 months before these dropped :lol
I think that’s a fair dart you just threw,

I certainly went on and on about it before they even released.

But after doing the touch test on both pairs, I feel very confident in my assessment.

…trying to be as objective as possible.

Good point about the black leather..you’re not wrong.

I felt the biggest difference on the toe box, heel and side panels.
