SBBs came in. Have some glitter on em but it doesn’t bother me. Just gonna wipe it off. Leather is def soft on em.
 
So I just watched Seth Fowler's review of the shadows and after this he lost whatever credibility he had before this review. He said shadows have same leather as bred and royals. Well I decided to put on both breds and shadows on feet at same time and I can guarantee he's wrong about that. No it's not chicago or sbb quality but it's a hella improvement from the Breds/Royals.

Oh yea btw I solved glitter gate... Don't know if other people pointed this out tho haven't read up. Drumroll......

Glitter is Coming from the material inside the lace holes. If you pull your laces out you'll see a cocaine like puff of white glittery air come out. So it's not the leather but the white material inside the lace holes . SMH
 
That's definitely not what the glitter comes from. That is remnants of the lace stay being hole punched.

There's such a wide range of quality across different pairs of Breds (and damn near every other Jordan 1 release for that matter) that I feel like he could be making a true comparison of what he had in front of him...but my opinion is that comparing one release to another release is pointless for that very reason, unless you're someone like Fineline who has multiples to show the range in quality. I feel the same about shoetubers who describe sizing by referencing your "TTS" -- I'm a sz 10 in 1s; a sz 10.5 in 4s, 12s, and 13s; used to be a sz 11 in Jordan 10s, but now I'm a 10.5; my Space Jams are an 11 and fit better to size than my Midnight Navy's in a sz 10.5; and I'm a sz 11 in most Ultraboost/Yeezys, a sz 10 in NMDs. I don't have a "true size" so it doesn't help when someone says "go a half-size up from your true-to-size" with a shoe that I've never worn before. Its damn near meaningless.
