I purchased these authentic shoes new for my son, but he outgrew them after trying them on indoors with the tags removed. I had been keeping them carefully in the closet, waiting for him to wear them. As you can see in the pictures, they were only tried on indoors once, and he never actually wore them for any activity. There is no wear on the soles, no scratches, and no discoloration. The design is very cool, and the mesh construction throughout makes them very breathable and seems very cool. You can see the socks through the shoes, so I think they would look great paired with the right socks. They are lightweight despite being well-made. They are just awesome! Comes with the original box. This item is also listed on Yahoo! Auctions. Thank you for looking.
