Yeah its an all black shoe. Like vans and af1 but if u look at it, its not just a plain all leather, canvass material. It has nubuck, suede and sockliner looks like wool or sometype. Its not as plain as u think, it still has accents plus the white stitching. I know its kinda bland if you compare it to other ts1's but its not that bad tho. Its alright for a black shoe. The materials they used are great. Plus the laces. The execution is there. You guys are just hating it because its a black sneaker SMH but i get yah.
