This.

And it's the reason I haven't owned a pair in forever. The Swoosh is also a different material.

This is why I took a risk on sizing and ordered the SB's. That weird plastic-looking swoosh on modern flaxes is terrible, and my 8-year old pair finally got relegated to lawn shoes (replacing the ancient Pendleton ID's). Anyways, the swoosh on the SB flax's is also slightly different, but with this pair I appreciate the contrast. Basically it's an ever-so-slightly napped suede over a fairly smooth nubuck. Leather backtab is also different, I guess, but it's also nice.

For those who care, I sized up to 11 from my normal AF1 10.5. My issue is width: usually I need to re-lace any new AF1 out of the box before I can even wear it and usually I don't bother with the last eyelets. With "normal" AF1 10.5, I have about a quarter inch more length in the toes than I'd like. The SB 11's fit pretty well without replacing and there is probably too much gap in the toes. Maybe I'll get some shoe fillers.

I'm tempted to try the Oreowood in 10.5, but I suspect they'll be too narrow to wear comfortably. But given that I'd almost always choose Linens over those, it might not matter. Haha, except for the $200 or whatever StockX wants...
