The latest collaboration between J Balvin and AJ3 features high-quality cowhide leather throughout, which feels incredibly soft to the touch. At first, I thought the premium materials were just a result of the collaboration, but later I learned that AJ3 shoes are always made this way. When I tried them on, I noticed they run a bit large—the toe area had at least half a toe's extra space. However, the heel offers strong support, so walking feels secure.
