Some of these Jordan heads don't mess with suede, don't buy other brands, are pretty much teenage boys when it comes to suede.I don't know what some of y'all are talking about suede "aging horribly". I know these probably aren't going to be out of this world quality suede leather, but I've got plenty of New Balance and Clarks and Vans shoes in suedes and nice boots in roughout leather and suede, and I've never had durability issues. If anything decent roughout leather and suede is more abrasion resistant than smooth leather or nubuck. I will gladly take any 11.5 or 12 that you all don't want and beat them up.
I know it's been 6 years or so since the last Royal 1 release, but if they released a straight retro they're not likely doing any better than the last release. They were fantastic. Might as well mix it up a little. As much as I love my Reimagined Chicago 1s, I'd still rather have a DS pair of the 2015 release. At least these are an interesting twist that is different enough? Much better than satin or patent, at least to me.
