I purchased these new from a directly-managed store for about ¥4500. I wore them for several months. They're high-tops, so they firmly support the ankles, and they seemed very easy to walk in. I took good care of them, so they can still be worn. I think they're a color that can be worn by both men and women. I used shoe tags, so I didn't write my name directly on them. They've been home-cleaned. Color: White/Blue
