I like the look, the cut of the patent is smooth. I would rather the “reimagined” theme and have the uppers in leather rather than mesh. My 2014’s still handy, not worth chasing for me.
Why are these such a shock? This isn’t the first time something like this has been done. Pippens, AirMax 95’s and 90’s have have similar variations. No shock big sellers. To each their own.
