I mean its not as soft as the tumbled leather on say some cones but i felt it and it does feel like real cow leather. Then again im pretty sure its exactly the same leather as last years christmas premiums that I posted a couple days ago. Im thinking if they did the whole shoe with it they would call it a premium and charge the premium price. Just for reference and to show how good you guys have it when it comes to buying sneakers, they are 140 here in Toronto. Im not paying that obviously but thats considered ''not bad'' by some shop owners.

erv nice canvas man!

p5jay2- wow@ those mids, really clean!

never seen them before.. that's what i love about older af1's: once you think you've seen them all, something will pop up and catch you completely off guard.

 

[metalstitch]

p5jay2 - Very nice mids! The leather quality is on point!

 

[amnmolinar]

Erv- very dope dude. building an amazing collection man!!!

keep it up.

 

[cmoneymontana]

Not bad, but this has me iffy:

 

[maza4ever14]

Damn leather midsole. I wanted to cop but I'm passing now.

 

[p5jay2]

leather midsoles

why do a lot of people hate them? do they cause any problems that rubber midsoles don't? or is it just the look that people don't like?

 

[sneakers904]

 

[amnmolinar]

pjay- they crease really bad dude and get mad scuffed

 

[p5jay2]

thanks AmnMolinar
I was about to cop a pair of workboot with leather midsoles
i guess i'll just wait till the hiking boot pack release

 

[bkost]

I dont normally post in here (I look at the pictures a lot) but I just took this picture and I wanted to post it somewhere

 

[peteyk 420]

ye Hamptons are a pass unfortunately after those closer pics......

 

[itsaNYthing]

Leather midsoles are a no-no.

My Stash AF1s look horrible from the fading that results from scuffs and marks.

 

[eebs7eez]

yup. stash's get it bad. absolute dustmagnets too

 

[D Double]

Any pics of how bad the leather midsoles get? I got a couple supremes with the leather midsole but it doesn't bother me as much. I still prefer the normal midsole but some of you guys can't stand it.

 

[peteyk 420]

leather midsoles are comfier though imo.... and I don't know maybe someone can confirm but it feels like there is an air max bag in the slam jams, the black ones......
