The rear 1/4 of the originals was actually a dull, semi-shiny leather vs. Durabuck. They may have gotten shinier with age, but they were a bit shiny to begin with. It was one of the things I really loved about the originals, as it gave an even more solid look to the shoe. None of the retro VI have followed the originals on this, which is quite disappointing.Originally Posted by freezyfreeky
i noticed in a few random pics from different sources that the back panel on all of them seems to be made of a different material than the rest of the upper. was it all durabuck or was the back panel made of something else or possibly treated with something?
