you very correct it was nothing near durabuck or nubuck but actually an extremely high quality leather that was super soft almost like lamb skin leather. I have yet to have seen any other Jordan have this type of leather. it was the real definition of buttery. even shattered backboards don't come close to the way this ie felt in hand.
Lord have mercy. We're not gonna do this again, are we? The side panels on the OG blacks are the literal dictionary definition of Nubuck. It had a VERY slight nap to it that changed colors depending on the direction it was rubbed. I really wish my pair wasn't still at my mom's house an hour away or I would do some close up shots of them.
