What was that combo leather/suede material they used on this year's powder blue 3s and infrared 10s?
Nubuck.
Bout the nap youre right its super short. Note that both Powder-Blue 3 and Infrared 10 have grain shining through, therefore it would be a nubuck (grain side sanded and then cut for short nap).
I see what you're saying, but to say that dudes shouldn't be buying $200 shoes if they are worried about $15 is kind of a blank statement. I bet most the people on here buying them shouldn't REALLY be doing it.... and also I don't buy $200 shoes and that's kind of the point. 185 is just too damn close to 200 for comfort imo. These shoes should have neverrrrrrrrr gotten to this price point but hey it's happening and nike will still easily sell them so I'm just gonna have to step away from the habit now which is frankly fine with me. I've got roughly 45-50 pairs so I'm good, it just feels a little crappy to have to walk away from a line you grew up loving because the company is exploiting every single aspect of the popularity. can't blame them but it still feels like a slap in the face for some of us
NONE of them will. none.
Thats amusing, I guess I be having no electricity this month

Its tin foil behind the holes, get to know your materials homie.
