you can never underestimate a good leathered shoe so im just wondering what some people are getting for their money

ok well i got my size 13 and ill tell you this material wise the quality is actually top notch the leather used is very good to the point im mad at nike fornot using this type of leather on other stuff the suede around the toe that people keep sayin looks like elephant print is very buttery and by the way its apattern of a bunch of "Y" the inside cusioning is very good tons of cusion as for midsole its very good and i dont see it cracking but of course mypair is still deadstock but it seems very good only time will tell on that one the sole itself regardless of glowing in the dark is very thick and seems likeit would take alot of wear and tear to be worn down as for the strap its more of a look than anything buty the patent leather used on it is nice very shiny butnot stiff patent leather real flexible hope this helps you oh and quality wise the $215 aint a bad box price nike needs to put this kinda effort in other shoes

i mean, i'm guessing yeah, out of everyone that's posted sizing feedback on here, only one dude said they run true to size, everyone else said .5 andwhole size big.

i talked to a guy at leaders who has 'em and said the same thing.

either way, they're soft leather, they're gonna give a lil' even if they end up a lil' small on ya.

personally, i usually rock 13's in most shoes, 12's in high top dunks, so i'm gunning for a size 12 in these...
 
Just got mine. Paid a bit over retail, but not too crazy (more than I expected). Better to pay more than stand in a line, in the rain, to not get them. Myspot had no line. No one was there to get them. I think only a select few knew they were getting them.

I agree with Vamo, the leather is nice. So soft and buttery. I don't see these creasing that easily because the leather is so soft. I don't thinkI've held anything by Nike with leather this nice.

Here's some pix:
