We live in a world where the the nike air presto ultra flyknit full fury of the internet will come down upon you for daring to post spoilers (or "leaks") for Breaking Bad months after the show ended but won't think twice about posting a sneaker that might not even be in their final form and already declaring them to be awesome or garbage. Which side of the "leaks"/"no leaks" side do you fall on? Do you want you to never see the machinations behind the making of the sneaker and just want the final product and the official word of Nike/Jordan/adidas/Juan Martinez or do you crave every bit of info because it only enhances your experience?
