Just to let everyone know a few things about production and quality. On NON collaborative releases, the "Made in the USA" or "Made in England" matters on New balances, it seems those factories use better materials (generally speaking), but with Collaborative shoes we go through 8 or 9 wear test samples before we ok the production. We dictate the quality of the materials (within a reasonable range from the available leathers and fabrics from the company), so a made in china or vietnam collaborative shoe is not the same "quality" as a found in footlocker made in china 574. The reason being we are more focused on the quality of the shoe, as where new balance (or any huge company) are focused on keeping unit costs low as to maximize profit.
just a heads up.
