Beethoven’s is the first pair in a long time for me that I would consider a “must get”. Hopefully I can walk away with a W on those, they’re clean af.

How was it not previously on the OGs? The OGs were a great shoe to hoop in.

It’s just a superficial layer of flyknit glued over a layer of fuse. They didn’t come up with a strong enough functional knit upper until the 11.

Think it functioned just fine. These were my go to hoop shoes and my OGs are still solid just yellowed. The Protro just took that fly knit and thinned it out.
