View media item 2111103Think I see some similarities here :smokin

Love these joints, but they creased almost immediately after wearing them :lol:

I normally don't apply any kind of protector, what do you guys think? Is anyone else spraying their pairs?

The nubuck feels super soft and supple, almost closer to suede.

If you think these feel like suede you've never had a suede sneaker before.

The Durabuck does feel nice tho. I love NIKE using Ortholite insoles. Sooo much more comfortable

I was wondering as well if spaying them will keep them black as possible and ashey looking. Any advice is much appreciated
 
I finally got them yesterday thanks to my lady associate at a local mall who locked a pair down for me at her store!
 
What are the best protection sprays out there? Which ones are safe for certain materials such as suede, cloth/mesh, nubuck, and leather?

So far I've heard of Crepe Protect?
 
Protection sprays are probably what yellows them out faster. Whatever that **** is + sun = shenanigans. 

Thats my theory anyway.

Ordered another pair from NDC after realizing I had a 20% coupon. Going to return the one I paid full price for. $176 shipped.

Why not call the store first before ordering online? Especially if you were going to the mall the same day. [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Because shoes launch at 7 AM online and the mall don't open till 10 AM for us here on the west coast. That's why it's a gamble for us in Cali. It's nice on the east coast cause you can be at the mall when they open and if you strike out you can hop on SNKRS, or vice versa.
 
Kinda lowkey sad knowing 1 day all these gems will crumble like us humans. Oowwww the circle of life

Don't need no protection spray, just wear them and let them crease and yellow naturally. Durabuck is a durable material.

I was thinking the SAME thing. One day these and my 2000s will join my OGs in the land of obliterated midsoles. Took my OGs 26 years for that to happen. Hopefully the 2016s last longer than that. An even scarier thought? By that time I'll be in my 60s. *shudder*

I doubled up yesterday. Now I'm thinking of returning my FTL pair and then just waiting for them to hit the outlets, or at the very least I'll use my WC from FNL and cop my double-up pair there.
 
My SNKRS order shipped. How come sometimes when I order UPS Ground their is no delivery date? I then can't send the package to the UPS Access Point to pick up.
