I agree 1000%! I have had my eye on these for awhile, but never had a chance to see them in person. Until, this past weekend. They are by all means a dope shoe. Very far from premium, like @troyaleksander said they can not & should not even be put into the same category as the recent pinnacles quality, let alone the unicorns. IMO
Aside from the foo-foo about the shape being bad, I actually really like the materials they used on this.
The waterproof/resistant materials feel pretty tough so it doesn't necessarily feel like a "premium" shoe more than it does an all-weather AM1.
The materials does lend to the shoe feeling alot stiffer out of the box than others but that feeling goes away after you've given it some break-in.
Overall, my pair came with an ever so faint smudge on the mudguard that doesn't seem to want to come out but quality overall is pretty nice.
I think if you go into it with the thought that you're getting a shoe that's more like the Adventure Pack in terms of materials and quality, you won't be surprised or disappointed.
These 100% don't belong in the same quality category as the unicorns (Amsterdams, Kid Robots, etc) or even the recent pinnacles IMHO.
