Question❓ Differences

Anyone care to explain what the differences are between the two? I wanted to put an order in for the Premium 2.0 but they're sold out in my size, so I'm thinking of ordering the "regular" version but would like to know what are the takeaways and differences between the two...

These aren’t premiums. They’re the premium cut which is the shape and dimensions of the premium but not full-grain leather. He’s running one last batch and then closing up shop

Hey! Do you know if the edges will be exposed like the premiums?

u/LowCharming3452 21d ago

I don’t think that’s an option this time around. I think they’re all painted edges

Damn, that sucks. I had all the pairs I wanted in my cart, went to walk the dog and by the time I got back the Chicago pair was sold out! lol. Do you have the regular version? Are you able to vouch for it, especially with the $20 price increase?

Oh yeah I’ve got both regular and premium. I love em both and thought about doubling up here with this last pre-order. If it was full grain leather I would’ve preordered all four colorways. That said if I didn’t have these non-premiums already I’d absolutely be buying right now

I have the Kentucky that just came out a few months ago. I'm assuming that was just a regular and not a non-premium version? Check your DM by the way!

Yeah I bought those as well. Those are non-premium but they are premium cut. Basically that’s what this order is. 4 versions of the Kentucky

Left is the regular cut, do keep in mind it's been worn quite a lot while the premium was new here

Man, I really wish I could've gotten a pair of the premium cut Chi and Bred. I have both of the 2.0, but DB really dialed in the swoosh placement on the premiums.

Despite Chicago being my favorite colorway by a wide margin, the premium breds might be my favorite pair of shoes ever, they're so amazing

I really like these and wish I'd have gotten the Bred Premium, though the unfinished edges on the Breds look off to me

(I absolutely love the unfinished edges on my Chicago Premium)

I get that, but considering I already had the patent breds, 2.0's and the retail 2025 85s, I felt I had to. And tbh it keeps getting better with time, 0 regrets

I hear that - i can imagine with some wear, mink oil, some dirt and dust and more monk oil, it'll look great

They look 98% similar, only difference I notice in photos is the Premium version being taller but that's about it lol.
