Great looking shoe but I had to return them due to a design flaw. The tongue is a weird plastic materials and where it is sewn into the top of the shoe there is a portion that sticks out beyond the stiching and it rubs against the top of your toes. Even with socks it was very irritating just taking a few steps. I had to return them unfortunately as I could foresee this being a major problem with the plastic cutting into my skin. Also, the materials on the white part is a translucent nylon, very odd.

Clearly, these shoes are smoking hot. That said, I was surprised to find that their sole is not that soft. I was looking for something reminiscent of a Samba, with cooler colors, that retro look, and more cushion in the heel to help my troubled knees. The sole on these is more like tire rubber than foam rubber. Not soft. Great shoes, just not soft. Sambas, Gazelles, you name it, they're all softer.

Adidas Original SL 72 -
I waited for this shoe to become available because it was the ONLY sneaker I could find that I liked (aesthetically). Unfortunately, it is not comfortable at all. I continue to wear the sneakers, in hopes that with more wear they will become more comfortable. They are not AS uncomfortable as they were in the beginning, but they are still not very comfortable--a big disappointment for someone who desperately needed new sneakers and wears them daily, it was a huge disappointment.
