[REVIEW] David's 10th Batch 350 Pirate Black (review in comments)

Some multiples with/without shoe stuffing, and before/after on the baby oiled suede patch at the end.

Let's get into it.

ORDERING:

  • Ordered early November but I was a pain in the ass with QC so they weren't shipped until the 14th. They arrived to Australia today, 7 days later, which is really fast postage, especially from Asia. (Most packages take at least 3 weeks).

10/10

PACKAGING:

  • Typical double boxing we've all seen before + a Yeezy 350 keychain. Comes with the receipt and shoe stuffing, that's about it. No complaints.

10/10

QUALITY & APPEARANCE:

  • Damn, these are good.

  • The primeknit on the toebox is almost just as soft as on my retail UB's.

  • The suede patch actually feels like suede (although as you can see in the photos, needed the baby oil treatment)

  • The stitching/pattern/ridges/eyes are immaculate. Of course, not 1:1, but so damn close, as I'll get into with the flaws.

9.5/10

COMFORT:

  • I put a retail UB and 350 on each foot and the comfort was almost identical. UB's do edge ahead even on retail 350's, but damn, there isn't much between them besides the 350 having a more relaxed fit.

9.5/10

MINOR FLAWS:

  • The ridges are still too shiny compared to retail. I'm thinking this could be fixed with some kind of matte solution but I'm not sure.

  • Weirdly enough, the pulltab and back of the shoe's PK is a little scratchy. I had David's 3rd batch and it was a lot softer and comfortable at the back. The pulltab feels a little stiff if that makes sense (phrasing), but it looks damn good so who cares.

OVERALL:

Fuego as shit. Honestly look a lot better in person than in my photos/all the other 10th batch photos I've seen. These are really, really close to retail. It's crazy how good they are. If you take into consideration that reps will never be 1:1, these are a solid

10/10.
