It makes sense, it looks like a high top Saint Laurent, especially with that red stripe. Prada uses spazzolato leather on their dress shoes. It goes with the story on SNKRS
Hype should not be the determinate to buy anything you like. If the shoe is haute, get it, regardless of issa QS, Pinnacle or anything else. This is a nice sneaker. I would ball in it if it had the tech!
