I got my pair from EastBay (Double boxed - to my surprise) and I think the upper material feels cheap and almost fragile. The Swoosh in the toe area looks like a sticker and seems like it will peel off if stepped on hard, during play. I have 12 pairs of the IV's and the one thing that I liked was that even though the shoe was Only $95, it felt like you were getting a lot more for your dollar. The V's don't feel that way. I definately don't see myself getting more than a handful of pairs if not, even less.
