Really trying to like this shoe but for some reason I just don't think i can. They look crazy in pics but when i got them, didn't get that vibe. I may just be getting older but I think I am over xi's entirely. Also before I joined this site, I would have never noticed glue stains and imperfections but now that I have joined nt, I can see the pair i got is full of those and a few other imperfections, which also diminishes the appreciation for the shoe. Going to sleep on it but think in the end, Im going to end up giving these to a friend.
