I never said it was luxurious or that it was suede. All I said was that it was softer than what the 2015s have and that it was suede-like. 

You can post all the pics you want - but I actually had them and remember what the upper material felt like. And looking at the pic you posted more closely - you can see scuffs on the tip of the toe box which usually happens to genuine materials. I doubt the 2015s would get scuffed like that. 

No worries bud. You know what, you are right, the 2015 Bordeauxs have fantastic materials and are exactly like the 1992 release :) And I don't have to do homework - like I said before I had these in 1992 and I remember the soft upper like it was yesterday. It was nothing like what the 2015s...

I guess it's a matter of opinion - to me it feels cheap and synthetic. 

It may very well be but all I know is that whatever material they decided to put on the 2015 Bordeauxs is very cheap and nothing like what the OGs had. 

Dude what are you talking about? I'm 36 years old - I had these in 1992 and they did NOT have the "cheap dura/nubuck" that the 2015 Bordeauxs have. That's a fact not an opinion. The OG Bordeauxs had a soft suede-like upper like the 2015 Hares and the 2011 Bordeauxs have. Maybe YOU should do some...

I got my pair from Champs on release day. 

I ended up returning my pair - the pull tab and inner boogie on the right shoe was defective. It's a shame that we have to deal with these issues on $200 shoes. Regardless I was not happy with the upper material and fit of this retro. Here is my video of the shoes.

Has anyone else spotted this variation on their AJ retro 1s?

What's different, the texture? How about your outsoles, which NIKE mold do your shoes have?

I went ahead and posted the pics. But the purpose of this thread is to share information that can hopefully help people. A lot of times the issues Jordans suffer from have to do with quality control and nothing to do with them being fake or gray market. I have '88 retro 3s from NDC with...

Color is the same. It's just two different pictures so the shades look different. I've asked friends of mines that own retail AJ1 retros and they have confirmed that they own 1s with both molds. I guess Nike uses both molds to make their 1s.

Hey guys. I recently scooped up some legit Bred 1s from Italy and noticed that the outsoles of each shoe were slightly different from one another. The main difference is in the NIKE Swoosh that's molded into the outsole. On my pair, the NIKE font on the left shoe has rounder edges and the Swoosh...

These look legit but have the same issue my pair has. If you look carefully at the NIKE on the bottom of each shoe, they are different. The left shoe has a NIKE with rounder corners and the swoosh end where the copyright R is. The right shoe's NIKE has sharper corners and the swoosh is much...
