Maybe that’s it s2…
I’m at work now, and I don’t have any pics to post of reps but I have the Alt BL colorway….
The V’s are one of my all time favorites from the KB line, here are my retail pairs
Guess I’m too familiar with the retail version of this shoe…and if I didn’t have so many I probably wouldn’t notice this but my take is that it’s closer to 80% of retail and whether or not that 20% difference bothers you…
Off the top of my head I think they’re slightly wider, the inner lining isn’t quite as plush, materials are somewhat thinner, cushioning slightly firmer/less responsive and they don’t seem as durable. Someone stepped on the black part of the upper and scraped some of the paint off.
But this was just one pair and I admit I’m super picky when it comes to my shoes. Maybe one day I’ll address the scuff mark and wear them casually.
