Here is the original listing where it is clearly graded (Leather: 9.5/10) and received favorable comments: Sold - Mars leather Jordan #SOLD
That is where I based the grading on, considering I have never owned a NIB pair to compare to.
*If I am drastically off on grading these, please feel free to educate me on them and make an offer accordingly.*
Ok that explains it.
It's great that you are open to comments and also that you provided clear pics that show condition. Many of the collectors on OF take pride in being conservative in their condition descriptions. There are a few who are known to exaggerate the quality.
Definitely no offence meant to you in above comments.
Sadly the suede in your piece is a 6-7.
It is hard to get a feel for grading and it's always a bit subjective. 9.5 implies near mint.
In the case of Mars Jordan, see the pic i provided of a near mint nose bridge. The suede has a 'fluffiness' that shows it has rarely been handled. The smoothness of yours in the centre suggests a lot of wear/handling.
