Sliding them on, the ankle collar is low-cut, offering great freedom. That's a huge pro for casual wear. However, that also means less support if you're actually hooping in them.

The fit is true to size for me. The comfort is... well, it's a classic basketball shoe from the 80s, so don't expect modern cushioning. It's firm, but not uncomfortable for casual wear. The ankle collar is low & free, which is great for summer. Honestly, for all-day wear, you might want more support, but for style? Unbeatable.
