personally, I think suede pairs age worse than leather pairs! Suede and nubuck feel like more sensitive materials to me and don’t age as well as leather, but straight out the box the suede will probably be more comfortable!

I had two other Adidas shoes (causal shoes not sneakers) that fell apart in 6-8 months and the other maybe a year of heavy use, traveling a lot.. I got these because I didn't know what to get, and they aren't comfortable.. I travel a lot and walk A LOT , they hurt my feet after awhile, and my wide feet they are bulging on the sides.. I doubt they would last long if I kept them. I can't image they would stand up to traveling very well. I also feel there isn't much protecting your feet.. that is a problem for a traveler like me.. Its a hipster shoe, that was ment for indoor soccer..

This is one of the coolest Samba colorways I've ever seen. I'll try to find a good deal and order tomorrow. This Nice Kicks Incense shoes look like some other basic color combinations (that looks normal from afar but especially when up close) with raw edge stripes are a bit glossy & not matte, and there's smoky incense pattern inside, and the leather is also very 🔥. For any shoe line, I try to find color combinations that ''don't look like anything specialat at all, but up close, it's uniqe & pretty sure no one around has them''. Adidas brand for example, for the Stan Smith shoe line, I own 3 pairs: Stan Smith Yohji Yamamoto with ivory tongue (last year version), Stan Smith Recon all white - with size information embossed on the tongue (I want stan smith HIRSH but can't find it), Stan Smith 80s green heel tab. (And considering the Kyne pair because it's synthetic leather) For this trending samba/spezial shoe line, the shoes I like and currently own are Samba Humanrace All white, Gazelle Spzl Core black, Sporty&Rich Yellow (I know you have a video about this pair, I also hope the leather quality of This colorway is as good as the previous release, but it's good enough and the consistent yellow color scheme on all the details inside and out makes me like it a lot and feels more energetic than the red pair). I've been a subscriber to your channel since I saw the jjjjound x reebok video, and have watched all of your videos since then LOL.

I agree 100% This pair and the end clothing pair are one of the most unique pairs of samba's out. The lowkey details really makes all difference. I agree on the sporty and rich. The yellow pair definitively feels more lively than the red. Thanks also for being subscribed! I really appreciate the support and your comment! Hopefully in 2024 you'll be able to grab the HIRSH or the Kyne soon!

Honestly, I have to agree with you on that one. I think it's probably one of my favorite Sambas. Haven't picked up a pair yet. I do think that the Clarks Kith Samba is slightly different from the traditional samba though.
I think it's hard to say since the white pair is a nice cream color that shows the aging of the leather better, but the black pair is much more wearable and more incognito.
