[jayfiend]

[Arthur Shelby]

JB just don't know

I'm trying to cop 2x

 

[KanyIZZY]

JB is a troll for tumbling the leather

 

[balldontlie206]

I don't care about tumbled. IMO tumbled looks better over time with creasing and whatnot.

need need

Ya these are looking great. Really liking what I'm seeing so far.

Nobody finds it weird that we're seeing factory production photos of a JB release? These got the high quality fake feel to me as of right now....I'll hold off for JB official pics.

The official pairs are being produced as we speak if they haven't already been in production. It's just hard to differentiate between real/fake pairs nowadays :x

sooo true.... i feel like sometimes i need a CSI team to confirm if the pair is legit. Between fakes upping their game and JB falling down on the QA sometimes if I didn't pick up pairs from a legit store I would feel suspect about a couple of pairs in my collection.

these are early fakes. I'd buy that they are in production pairs of the real thing didn't always look 10000 times better

No way am I gonna get a pair but definitely down to try

This. It just ain't right . Whatever though, it's the main reason why I'm only copping 1 pair. I anticipate they'll eventually release the original version, Jumpman tag and all.

Honestly don't see the issue with the tumbled leather.

Honestly don't see the issue with the tumbled leather.  

Imagine non patent leather on a pair of XIs.

 

[rbk93]

Don't think that's comparable lol.  Those exists anyways(Grey Suede XIs) as well.

The XI is the XI because of the patent leather, can't say "smooth leather" makes the 1.

 

[h2k4]

Imagine non patent leather on a pair of XIs.

Not even a good comparison, lol.

I'm al in for these. Tumbled or not.

 

[sneakdisser300]

There isn't one no one that wants these is letting tumbled leather stopping them from copping

This is an excellent comparison lol.. folks just dont want to see the light. Personally, it doesnt really phase me but come on.. there is no reason in the history of Royal I's to tumble. If they would have put black tumbled leather on Space Jam XI.... Dooms Day.

How about tumbled leather on WC IV's, smooth hard leather on XII's and XIII's, tumbled leather on Chicago I's, or the wrong nubuck material on VI's ppl loooove complaining about! Personally, it's not a big deal but I'm not going to pretend they didn't troll. We can sit here and say "700k pairs is clearly a sign of trolling..etc" but tumbled leather on Royals are A1. Okay.

or it's like 3's with no Elephant Print

 

[headdetective]

It ain't that deep.

None of the retros have been the same as previous models.

The comparison to no patent leather on 11's is a desperate reach.
