They're not. They're not really speckles. It's just part of the rubber. Lots of retros have had it over the years. I'd bet you have a couple pairs and have never noticed it.
Peace,

I went to my local Finishline today, and they had three pairs on display. One pair had lots of speckles, the second a lot less, and the final pair was solid black. I asked the manager why that was, and he told me he wasn't sure. But he advised me to ask a store assoc to bring out several pairs in my size for me to look @ when I'm ready to make my purchase. I'm sure these are going to sit for a while. Speckles stand out pretty bad (IMO)......

THIS.
The "Speckles" aren't intended to be there; it's not paint.
I've never seen more than a few of them on any given shoe...

It's a result of the recycled material that's used in the rubber. The results vary. I have a few shoes with white soles that have black specks for the same reason.

Those are decent. But I'll just take the OGs and the Laker joints and I'm good.

Red suedes really sold well on NDC.
Everything sells out on NDC, though.

View media item 1381582Black pair dropped here in Australia on the weekend. Easy cop. Played in them straight away and they felt great. There are small white specks on the sole but you cant see them from a distance.

What stores are going to get the black/blue Air Flight Huarache's and are they going to be a General Release? Also, what is the release date?

They're on the online release calendars for both Foot Locker and Finishline for February 9th, so I'd assume that they'd also be available in both stores. Not sure if they're a GR or not, but I don't think they'll be too hard to get.

A local city gear I walked into on Saturday had them. I would have copped but I'm hoping for a sale price.
