Let me keep it brief and get straight to the point so you can understand it better. Thanks for listening to my rambling. There’s not much to say about the price. Like I’ve mentioned before, no competitor can match my production costs. You can compare my products with theirs easily. Sure, I could sell for a higher price, but I don't want to exploit my customers.
Expensive doesn’t always mean better. If the product you receive isn’t up to expectations, feel free to return it. I don’t like to exaggerate or overhype.
I got early access to the materials back in April last year and started developing 1.0 then. I wasn’t in a rush to flood the market with 3.0 versions, and only towards the end of last year did I really start pushing it. It’s been a slow process, working on this for about nine months.
Now, let's talk about what everyone’s curious about – the domestic release of the Travis Scott AJ1 Low 3.0. As of now, the release is still set for September 24th. According to the latest news, there are two order versions, with slight differences in the outsole color. We’ll keep updating you with the latest information as we get it.
Many bloggers have already discussed the differences between 3.0 versions. What’s key here is that there are two different batches. After the initial production at Guangshuo, Nike placed another order, but they ran out of original materials. So Guangshuo sourced new materials, resulting in noticeable batch differences this time around. Let’s dive into the material details.
I won’t bore you with details about the original leather—we’ve talked about it enough. What matters is the differences between batches. Even between original materials, there’s some variation in color, especially with the suede. It’s common to see slight color differences between batches, especially when factories are trying to meet deadlines. Guangshuo wasn’t too concerned with this when delivering the shoes.
This color difference between batches is obvious in the Travis Scott Low 3.0. The two batches mix deeper and lighter shades, but they still adhere to the original color palette.
Texture Differences:
Once you cut the leather, apply adhesive, and stretch it, the natural randomness in the texture becomes apparent. This is what you’d expect with slight batch variations, particularly in the suede and outsole colors. One batch matches the original better, but I still chose both batches. Rest assured, there’s no mixing of left and right shoes from different batches.
The original version used Bailey leather, which is known for inconsistent dye results between batches. It took several rounds of tweaking to achieve the right shade. Anyone comparing the original leather to domestic versions can clearly see the difference.
Bailey leather is notorious for batch inconsistency, but I’ve worked with several batches to get it just right. No one handles this material better than I do.
Sample Comparison:
I’ve worn a sample pair for a while now. They’re a bit dirty, and the embroidery isn’t from the mass production batch. On the left is the CVW sample, and on the right is the market version using so-called “original leather.” The differences are obvious, especially in the coarser texture, even after finishing.
Looking at a few pairs of 3.0, the heel embroidery is about 85% close to the original natural grain pattern. The inner white Swoosh is around 90% close, and the toe cap is roughly 50% similar in texture. As for the “original leather” in the market, the white leather tends to oxidize and turn yellow over time. The longer you leave it, the more it yellows.
I’m not going to claim I use the original factory leather, but my leather edges and base colors are quite convincing. My craftsmanship speaks for itself, and anyone familiar with my work knows this.
Precision and Craftsmanship:
The original CNC-cut molds are shared across the 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 versions. I have three sets of molds, but only one is the original. I had to find a specialist to adjust the molds, and the result is a much better version than before. The 1.0’s hook design was already well received, and this 3.0 version will be even better.
Take a look at the embroidery – I won’t claim it’s from the original factory files. But if you find something better than mine, you can return it.
From a distance, the high-frequency embossing may not look three-dimensional, but up close, it has the desired depth. That’s exactly the effect I was aiming for. It’s not something you’ll see in knockoffs.
The 3.0 version’s paint is different from the 1.0. We use the original color card for consistency.
The outsole has been treated with anti-oxidation to prevent yellowing. Where are all these claims of “original outsoles” coming from anyway? There’s no such thing as unlimited stock of original soles.
True Original Materials:
These are real original patterns, complete with engraved numbers and stamps. They’re not the cheap blue-line or black-line versions that sell for a few hundred bucks. No one else is showing these off – this is the real deal.
Straight out of the mold, the shoes are in pristine condition.
