whats a "Nubuck"?
Cattle hide leather buffed on the grain side to give a velvety surface; white or colored.
Nappa:
Soft full grain gloving or clothing leather made from unsplit sheep or lambskin or kid-skin. It is usually tanned with alum and chromium salts and dyed throughout its substance.
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I'm willing to bet nubuck is cheaper than nappa. The nappa I have in my AMG is the softest, best finished leather I've ever senn/felt in a car.
Nubuck sounds like it would not wear nearly as well.
The grain sounds like it would flatten and retain dirt easily.
