So finally got my TKO Mids from Wellgosh today and I'm loving the colorway. I actually want to see these in the sun to see how much the hot punch pops.
Anyways, some dude did a review earlier and covered most of the shoe, but I'll try to talk about how I feel about these shoes.
Materials:
I'm sure just by looking at the pictures most will know, but when these are compared to the OGs the materials on these mids are completely different. It feels more like a fabric that's close to a thin denim jean than the "sock-like" OG fabric. The material doesn't stretch much either so it feels different than the OGs. Also, they don't have the same type of "breathe-ability" like the OGs. I tried blowing air through the fabric and I couldn't feel any wind inside the shoe.
Fitment:
I don't know if it's just me, but they fit a tad bit bigger (in length) than the OGs. Maybe it's because the material doesn't stretch much, so they had to make it a little bigger? I don't know... Anyways, since the material of these shoes are more fabric like than the OG's mesh, they feel more "sturdy" too. To me, the mids actually feel a little more like actual shoes where the OGs feel a little more like socks.
Comfort:
These are still comfortable, but it feels like the inner soles are a tad bit thinner than the OGs. I didn't have enough time to compare the inner soles, but from just trying them on, I was able to feel a little bit of a difference. That doesn't mean that these are uncomfortable in any way, it's just that they felt a little different than the OG Roshes. There is enough padding by the ankle area, so wearing these fully laced feels good.
Overall:
Overall, I really like these mids. I'd still go with my OG roshes for the Summer, but because of the materials, these would be perfect Spring/Fall time shoes. I'm also really digging the colors used on this shoe. I don't know what it is, but it kind of reminds me of the McFly colorway used on the Hyperdunk. I just need to do a lace swap with either teal or tiffany colored laces.
Anyways, for $85 these are going to be popular.
Pictures:
Sorry for the bad quality pictures. They were taken with my iPhone 4S.
