The texture of the leather or just by seeing how the leather wrinkles. You can't be 100% how it will be until you get them in hand but so far in the pics seen the leather does seem to be very nice
Sad but true. Might as well* But, you're right. Being from the DMV the Orioles are the first thing that came to mind. VERY fake with those butter knife jagged leather cuts. #FactsOnly The Laser 1's are such an underrated shoe. They're extremely comfy and so much better quality than other 1's. They def won't sit in the Maryland/Baltimore area.
i really like these i was just tellin my lady other week i wish they'd drop some kind of orange jordan and now my favorite model gets it! super cool concept...im sure these will be super limited though...will be trying my hardest to get em!
I feel like most of you guys enjoy pre-release speculations more than you actually care about the sneakers I'll take it for now. Appreciated young god. Look at how lively the leather is. When it has those natural looking creases and wrinkles, that's a good sign. Or when you can see just how thick the cut of leather is. When the leather kind of looks like it's sinking in; stuff like that. It's an acquired eye for detail that you get from time/feeling a lot of sneakers if you really love them. It's not 100% accurate obviously, and I've definitely seen shoes simulate some of these effects (I'd say the 'sinking in' to actually soft leather ratio is almost 1:1 though.)
