(3) They have a suede-like finish in too many places that does not really polish well. This was the deal-breaker for me. If I can't shine my shoes well and quickly, the manufacturer has no clue about umpiring shoes.

I'm waiting for the next generation to see if they fix these issues. In the meantime, I bought a pair of Honig's low tops.
I have the 2010 version. The Reebok logo is toned down and looks just like the base shoe logo does. They got rid of the suede as well. The black part of the shoe is entirely leather now.
