Our verdict
What we liked
- OG Design This is a legendary model. The design is timeless and authentic.
- Versatile Colors The mix of Off-White, White, and Maroon looks very subtle and versatile.
- Suede Touch The front mudguard uses suede leather, adding a premium texture.
- OrthoLite Comfort Comes with an OrthoLite insole, which provides great cushioning.
- Authentic Vibe If you want a sneaker that commands respect for its heritage, this is it.
Could be better
- Cheap Laces The nylon laces look cheap. They should have used cotton laces to match the premium vibe.
- Fake Stitches The sole has fake stitching details molded into the rubber, which looks a bit cheap if you look closely.
- Price Hike The price fluctuates a lot; paying ₹4500 feels a bit steep compared to the deal price.
