Starting a new thread to provide those like myself a place to discuss and let steam of our chests regarding all the defects and imperfections in the workmanship and quality of this release. From many, it has been quite dissappointing. Lets start with my own pics...figured id rather keep than to return and to have to search high and low for a decent pair that will demand i cough up 2X retail :frown:

1st pair i purchased from Sneakers N Stuff; 2nd pair from Sheikh Shoes. I don't believe it to be a problem of the retailer. Many people are experiencing the same from a wide range of stores. The main issue is the full grain leather. I believe that issues may be surfacing from the tannery where the leather is dyed (why one of my pair has two different colors of royal) or possibly the factories that acquire the leather from suppliers to then use the material to cut patterns and construct the shoe. It seems that there is a wide occurrence of pairs having different qualities of leather which says to me that may pairs have leather from different hides, hence why leather can be different from one shoe to another in the same pair.

This has been a very disappointing retro release.
