They're durable, stylish, and timeless. Just know what you're getting into - it's a vintage driving experience, not a luxury sedan. For the price and the heritage? Yeah, it's worth it. So, should YOU cop? If you've wanted a piece of sneaker history and you dig the style – yes, go for it. Try it on if you can, expect a break-in period.
