If you go back over 50 years these sneakers were premium, because the materials were more thick, supportive, flexible. If you run up and down the court, or just walking, the feel is not even anywhere close to what they used to be so many years ago.It's one of those things: "You get what you pay for". If they made them exactly the same, same materials (I'm talking about the toe and bottoms), most likely you would be paying double or triple the price.I gave them 3 stars only because the fit is still good, and price is low. There are little chips coming out around the sides and bottoms, as if the bottoms are not a soft rubber compound anymore. Simply put: More cheap.
