There's no option to change the color of the shozoku, so it will always be the same color as the tongue you choose.
You could always just paint it the color you want tho...
Maybe they felt uncomfortable, in the beginning, to me because I was wearing Elite quarter socks. If I had on socks with normal thickness, they probably would've felt better right out of the box.
I've been wearing my 'Rose Gold' lows for a few days now... and while initially they seemed narrow, they fit fine for me in the toebox.
After a few hours of wear, they did stretch out some and fit normally. These Xs are a very comfy shoe... :smokin
Don't have to return them until the remade pair arrives, so I may just wear them until the new pair gets here. That glue stain just really bugs me tho. And this shouldn't affect your cashback. I've never had any problems with it, even with returning something flat out.
Same thing happened to me with my Rose Gold pair. There's a quarter sized glue stain right on top of the toe box of the left shoe. NDC already approved a remake... just another 4 weeks to go...
