Horrible in person compared to the 1.0. Toe box and side panels are colored like mud not truly sail. Orange parts are hard and stiff. If anyone on the fence... pass on them believe me.
How stiff? Like, 2013 Chicago 1 stiff?
 
ups attempted to deliver my '13 royals yesterday from SS, but i missed them... :x

but they are redelivering today and i'm not going anywhere til they get here... :nerd:

So far no stores in my city are getting the sbb aways. Launch locators are up for footlocker , champs and foot action
 
so, it feels good to finally be able to say i'm the proud owner of a ds (not for long), authentic pair of royals. my 1st thoughts are that the neoprene tongue is really weird and i don't like it compared to the og nylon tongue on all my other pairs (i don't have knicks). also, the leather is nowhere near as stiff as i've heard ppl complain about. both the toebox and black leather on my pair is actually quite soft, in fact noticeably softer than my '13 breds.

these are def. a thing of beauty and all things considered i feel like they were pretty much worth the price i paid (not literally, but u know what i'm saying). i'm very satisfied with them and they pretty much confirm that i'm not a fan of the tumbled leather on 1s except for the OG SBBs. i don't like the tumbled leather on my '16 breds and i won't like it my '17 royals. that said, imo, other than the overall better leather quality...

'13 >> '16

good thing they aren't ruining the BTs with tumbled leather (at least according to pics...)

:nerd:

Man.

That tumbled leather over time will look good.

As much as I'm not a massive fan of the tumbled leather - I still prefer it over the 13.

If they got rid of the tumbled leather on the check - I'd be happier than a dog licking peanut butter off a knife

yeah, i know, but i'm assuming they'll be made exactly like '16 breds. it only makes sense, imo. afterall, it's the same exact shoe with a different accent color. just my opinion/assumption, but we'll see soon enough.

:nerd:
 
Rocking my '16 breds today in rainy NYC weather.  Man the shoe is so comfortable after each wear, really can rock these all day long.  The slight creasing in the toebox with the tumbled leather... woooooo.  

So glad I copped a pair of these.  
 
Cant keep up with all the messages since I haven't been here in a bit but whats the update on SBB?  They re-releasing them or we talking about the new version dropping?  
 
damn Shattered Backboard prices seemed to have sky rocketed the past couple of months.

Want them at around $350 but that seems like a pipe dream unless i get lucky and stumble into one

how is the red leather holding up after being wet?

Def can be had for $400, if you're willing to be patient and do a little haggling I'm sure you can get them for under 4
