The comfort surprised me right away, super lightweight with a soft cushioned feel, but still supportive enough for all-day wear. I have the earlier version of these in silver and these ones feel 100% more cushioned. I was expecting the fit and comfort to be the same, but these were a nice improvement. The mesh keeps them cool, and the traction feels solid. Style wise, these are clean. The 2000s runner vibe mixed with the dark colorway makes them stand out without being tacky. It’s yet to tell how these will hold up. Based on the silver version I already have been wearing for a year plus, with just a wash, they still look almost new. Hopefully these hold up just as well.
