Well, that's because you actually have to wear them

Wearing them increases the quality of materials?? This is an insane assertion, even for you..

I used to really want to get the Clay Greens, but as an SB lover, and fortunate to have got the Green Lobsters not too long ago, the Green Lobs win 10 out of 10 times for me, so I'm good on them now. They're cool though.

Nah, homie. Wearing them softens the material and makes them break in nicely. Both my Clay Greens and Ochres look and feel amazing due to actually rocking the kicks and my Ochres came out the box feeling nice.

Relax man. I’m not throwing personal disses at you. I’m only speaking on experience of seeing and feeling in hand, and my analysis on the actual product. If that’s lame......
Obvious they may soften based on wear, but how much are we really talking?

It took a bunch of wears to get the clay green to get comfy

Lame hypebeast? Again, I’ve been into kicks since the mid 90s. You need to check your comments. Also, I can name a bunch of 1s that don’t need any break in period, both OG remastered classics and newer hyped models. Again, you’re taking a product analysis to a personal level. Uncalled for.

Leather softer does wonders for 1s and helps with break in and creasing....

I think shadows had the best quality of any recent GR one
The leather is soft as **** and they broke in perfectly

They do. And the Red on ‘15 Chicago’s is great as well.

Yet another black/white bastardization but this time they took it up 5 notches.

none of the 4 pairs from that pack have great leather quality. I only had Clay's, but that's pretty much why I let them go.

Yeah I think these were possibly those rumoured aj1 reacts. Worse than we all feared. Maybe they'll come up a encapsulated design further down the line

bro, the leather is not supposed to be stiff. its only stiff bc its crap quality leather. UNCs aren't stiff out the box. H2H isn't stiff out the box. so you are wrong. I do agree that breaking them in softens them up, but the notion that its SUPPOSED to be stiff out the box is absurd.

I think the utilitys were better executed although I wouldn't personally wear either pair. I think the modernisation of all materials and then taking cues of the original design work better than trying to marry them together hoping for the best.

Of course I know that, I mean Clays fall in the same vein because they're massively underrated like the Metallic Navy
