Excellent trainers - Purchased these in Indian Yellow a day and a half ago and received them this morning. Zappos upgraded my order to overnight delivery for FREE. The shoes are not only comfortable, but look great. I couldn't decide between these and the Red/Gold, because both are awesome color combinations. The Indian Yellow is a deep lovely yellow which makes them noticeable. Also, not many people have these so I feel special. Size wise, I wear a mens 7.5/womens 9 in Adidas and purchased the mens 7.5 in these and they fit perfect.

Great for running! These shoes are awesome for running (and come at a great price)! A light yet supportive minimalistic running shoe. The flat rubber sole allows for a smooth landing. These shoes get better traction on slippery surfaces than shoes with waffle soles; they also collect less dirt on the sole. I think I may try a half-size smaller next time. I'm looking forward to buying my next pair!

Great classic - I own this style in four color ways. They are the most comfortable shoe I have in my collection of retro Tigers, Adidas, and Pumas... these DEFINITELY fit TRUE TO SIZE.

These shoes are fantastic. I ordered them through regular shipping and they arrived 4 days just as promised. They fit very well and to my surprise, are extremely comfortable. Usually, with new shoes you have to break them in a little but these came extremely soft and comfortable. I ordered these in Indian Yellow. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone who's a fan of yellow, comfort or Kill Bill--seeing as they look a lot like Uma Thurman's and also Bruce Lee's.

One of the best things about this shoe is that not many people have them. My shoes felt a size larger at least and the yellow color was a few shades darker than shown. The shoes are very light weight and are pretty comfortable. The only setback on mine was that since they were a size or so larger, the arch was a little too far forward on my foot. If you're looking for a retro looking shoe that's comfortable and light weight, this would be a good choice--just order a little smaller.

I just received the bordeaux/white asics 81. I was hoping the color would be more burgundy, but it is more of a wine/cranberry color. The suede part looks more burnt orange. But I like them anyway so I'm going to keep them. I wear a size 8 in womens and a size 6 in mens, but their sizes run a bit different. Their 6 in mens is a 7.5 in womens, but it still fits perfect. Overall i think the shoe is cool and im about to order the red/gold pair.

ASICS! I love asics they are the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned I own three colors black and white, blue and yellow, and indian yellow and silver. I run track all the time and they're great! There unique I only know one other person that has them. I think if you're a true runner these shoes are for you.

Asics Ultimate 81 - Sweet looking shoe-I got blue and yellow. Somewhat breathable and comfortable for hanging around in. Definitely not for actual running. Awesome shoe, though.

Another great Onitsuka product! I got this shoe over the holidays, and I really love it. It's bright red, and as always the Tiger Stripes look cool. It's a really great fit, and is very comfortable. Like all the Onitsukas, they breathe really well, and this one is a bit different as well. The outsole on the front actually comes up around the sides of the shoe, making it very distinct and basically cool to wear.

These shoes are mesmerizing...I could stare at them all day. The down side is that they truly feel like a 1970's tennis shoe. The sole is a firm yet not very supportive foam. They're not uncomfortable, just not comfy. Their look makes up for any shortcomings.

Best Shoes Ever!! I like these shoes so much I'm thinking about ordering another pair just so when the first pair wears out, I have another to wear.

Pretty sweet shoes - These shoes feel a little tight, but the material is very flexible and not uncomfortable. The biggest problem I had was with the soles. If you have ever worn track spikes, you know what the soles of these shoes are like - they just barely cover the ball and outside edge of your foot. That works for track, but can trip a person up when worn for a whole day.

Great look - The shoe looks amazing, and even makes my feet look smaller, but there is almost no support. If you are the type of person that needs an arch, you'll have to buy an insert. Otherwise, they are a great casual shoe.
