Long lost love! I haven't purchased them from the site yet but I gotta tell you, these were one on the most comfortable kicks I've ever had. Like slippers! I was so sad when they discontinued them but boy am I overjoyed now that they're back. I'm going to order soon, probably one of each color.

Excellent - I usually go for the ROM's but these looked cool. Wow, are they comfortable. Ordered them 1/2 size larger. The Munich graphic on the inside is a nice touch. And, Wo! I ordered them at about 8 pm and they were at the house before 4:30 pm the NEXT DAY! I don't know how you do it, Zappos, but keep it up.

Starsky Shoes!! I used to wear this shoe in the 70's. I thought it was no longer available. It is without a doubt the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever worn. I plan to buy a couple more pair in the very near future. PLEASE DON'T STOP CARRYING THEM!!!!!!!

shoe rating - I ordered these shoes for a cousin in England and then sent them on to him. He was unable to use his own credit card because they had to be delivered to an address in the same country, or some such problem. Anyway, the service was excellent and the shoes looked to be in good condition - I checked to make sure that we had received the correct color and size.

These shoes are awesome. I ordered them and got free 2 day air again! I get compliments from everyone about these, no one has them. I suggest these if you are a true adidas fan.

Great retro Adidas shoes - I bought these for my husband - he wears them a lot and is really happy with the style. However, they're slightly narrow in the front. His feet are actually a bit narrow, so it is unusual that shoes fit him that snugly. Otherwise he rates these as the third most comfortable pair of his sneakers... Overall a very stylish Adidas. I am again thoroughly impressed with Zappos. The service, incredibly fast shipping and selection is unbelievable! Thanks!

At last! I wore this shoe in the 70's and have been wanting more ever since. I get constant compliments on them.

Thank you very much Adidas - This is the best running shoe I have ever used in my life. I've tried Nike's ,Reeboks, Asics, Converse, New Balance, etc. and nothing compares to this model for me. I bought my first pair back on 1979 and it still feels great. I'm glad I found it again.

Zappos, you came thru! I ordered the shoes on a Thursday night, and they were on my porch on Friday morning. And I live where the closest grocery store is 30 miles away. Zappos went ahead and gave me the overnight thing and I didn't even order them that way. Plus it was free. Now to the shoes. These are my shot. Baby blue is my favorite color, and there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't gotten a compliment on them. The retro shoes are the way to go these days and Zappos has all the right color combos.
