Suede can never be better than Durabuck, not when Durabuck is still an option.
I have love for the Varsity Red 6's, but I would take Durabuck any day.
Bottom line, if it were nubuck then they used durabuck, you guys would still complain. Thats just how I see it.
durabuck is a SUPERIOR material...i mean you're gonna tell me u see a pair of
and we get that crappy suede in return...
you not gonna be mad? it just breaks your heart....

when you see pairs of varsity red's on da street now it looks like they survived 9/11 and its only april.....
meanwhile da gradeschool sizes look as new as they just came out da box.

we all knew Jb would do something like this, this pack is a no go for me, might even split depending on how the other pair looks and if its wack gonna get the White/V-Reds because those are so beautiful.

It makes no sense for you guys to attempt and clown on nijahood for "hating" on the varsity reds just cause these are suede too. It's not his fault JB did this. The fact is that if these do release with suede then that just makes these just as crappy as the varsity reds. It doesn't make v. reds any better. I think you guys are just trying to justify your purchase, but your gloating falls short this time.

Please tell me you have owned a pair of 2000 6's, or DMP 6's ??
Otherwise, you won't know what you are talking about.

only reason i like the var red 6s material is because they seem like they will have a good jet black for a while. they take horrible pics tho cause the flash makes them look ashy and inconsistent.
i would just worry that nike would drop some ashy infras if they did it with the right material. remember how the cdp4s were hella ashy and gray str8 out of the box?

you can CLEAN durabuck sneakers with slightly wet towel and they'll get as new as they were out da box...you can't do that with suede kicks...da material is night and day.
guess u have never rocked durabucks a few times and noticed they not jet black anymore huh?
but i admit my ignorance on the varsity red 6s. i havent worn my pair yet so i dont have any personal experience with their condition over time.

True!!!!! every pair of durabuck pairs turned grey on me from retro infrareds all the way back to my og's............you have to also be careful how you clean durabuck...........a damp rag works for a little while but after a few months they will fade on you.......but like bigj said i havnt gotten to wear my varcity reds yet....But i do love how dark the black is on em....dont know how long they will stay that way though!

I've worn my varsity reds a few times and they still have that dark black look with a buttery feel too. I put protectant on them so they'd last longer too. I mean, isn't that how they're made to begin with? They put something in the leather to make it last a while, why not do it manually too so the process is extended? All this crying over the material of a shoe... those of you complaining have lost sight that these are shoes and are meant to be worn. They're going to wear out at some point. I swear, some of you want the shoes to be made of infinite platinum dynamic polyurethane super foam titanium bendable steel..
Just buy what you like and shut up already.

Not saying the new suede is awful, but some people get a few things twisted in regards to the durabuck.
Just saying I would take a VI with Durabuck over suede any day.

I'm actually a huge fan of suede. I like it a lot more than nubuck and durabuck. That's not to say I think the Infrareds should have suede on them. They should have kept them durabuck. Suede is a real nice material if cared for correctly. It can be a very durable material if you take care of it correctly. That is until you get that first big scuff and its game over.
But I'm a fan of suede. Hope these turn out nice. I'm looking forward to this pack.

Also own...
Quality for both are decent, I think it comes down to personal preference. Also, some people come in here strictly to complain. If it were durabuck, they'd complain about no "Nike Air". If it had "Nike Air", they'd complain about not having 3M. If its not 3M, they'd complain about no coming in an original box. If it had an original box, they'd complain about Jordan not hand deliveing it. Its just ridiculous at this point. Just cop or not

Any excuse to validate buying this garbage pack
You people crack me up i bet the people at Jordan Brand is cracking open a few beers laughing saying " I told you these morons will still buy with low quality"
Man Gentry you do your job well you deserve every penny you earn off these senseless people
At first i was against them but now i realize there right if they can sell low quality products for cheap and maximize profits why not do it
I think this thread taught me a lot

But the suede is a Big deal breaker for me and a lot of people
I know it may seem like i am a little hard on this release but
These are my grails and the fact that they ignored the Jordan sneaker fans wishes and botched these
Was a big slap in the face to me as a big sneakerhead and Jordan head aswell as other sneakerheads
and i am sure the whole Nike talk community or at least most can agree with me

Seriously kid... All you do is complain complain complain. Go find something better to do with your time. I'm not validating this pack. I like suede. I've always liked suede. Me liking suede has nothing to do with this pack. I actually like Varsity Red better than Infrared, but Infrared still sits dear to my heart since I had them when I was a shorty.Originally Posted by Nikekidwonder

If you hate JB so much, stop buying their shoes and go do something more productive with yourself instead of complain on a forum board. No one really cares what you say. I bet you're just bitter that you won't have the guap to cop these. Especially if they are an international release. I'm seriously getting sick of you..
