The mix of smooth and textured leathers adds great depth. On feet, they feel sturdy—like a proper basketball shoe from the 80s (which it is, design-wise). Compared to a Dunk, the toe box shape is slightly roomier. Major pro? The iconic style is unbeatable. Con? The outsole is a total fingerprint/dust magnet.
