These shoes are honestly one of the coolest pairs I have had the liberty to purchase. The color is awesome and the design is perfect for a casual-wear sneaker (I probably wouldn't run in these, even though you totally could if you wanted to). After receiving these in the mail I walked around my house in them and was elated because they are incredibly comfortable, but also sad, because I knew I was going to have to send them back.Yup, even though I love these sneakers, I am returning them (this is where I get super nit-picky).As many other reviews have stated, these shoes run incredibly big. In other sneakers, I typically wear an 8.5, and on rare occasions even a 9. However, I've worn adidas sneakers for years, and I knew to size down. I usually purchase a 7.5 for this brand. So I purchased the 7.5 and they were still a bit large on me. I had nearly an inch left in the toe-box. So if you weren't already planning on doing so: buy a SIZE DOWN. A WHOLE size.The other beef I had with this shoe is that the sole is just a bit too chunky in the back for me. As in, it sticks out quite a bit, making the shoe look even bigger than it is.This is incredibly insignificant, but I was really hoping I would end up with a pair where the Japanese writing was visible on the strap (it's cool, okay?). Alas, this was not the case, but this really didn't factor in on whether or not I would keep them.Notice I gave these sneakers 5 stars, because even though I am returning them, I do think they are great shoes. In the right size, on the right person, these would be the holy grail. As for me, I'll look elsewhere for a new pair (probably another pair of adidas).
