In the long run most sneakers that are black, white, neutral colors and have a classic asthetic do better than others, but there's always exceptions. If u look at the price of the Metallic Black 5's that weren't hard to get at all, the price is rising and defiantly a solid pickup. Same with the Black/Cement 3's, on Flight Club there going for 600 plus. I got those on Black Friday with ease. I think these are ill, there versatile, can we worn an any season with anything. Plus the leather is plush and they stay clean. Maybe I'm biased. But a dope iconic 4 in a classic CW over a flashy sneaker with lots of initial hype.
