How to Tie Adidas Shoes Without a Bow: A Stylish Guide

"Style: It's more of a casual sporty style, with a leather exterior that's really soft. It might get some wrinkles after wearing it a lot, but that's not a big deal. The best part is how versatile it is—I think it goes well with both skirts and pants. I've seen a lot of people styling it in a way that looks super cool and chic! It's comfortable and stylish at the same time. [Heart] Fit: It does make your feet look a bit wider, so people with wider feet should consider sizing up by 0.5 or even a full size. Definitely do this! [Crying face] Durability: At first, it might rub against your heel a bit, but after wearing it for a few days, it gets better. You won't notice it as much, and it just feels normal. So, I don't think this is an issue at all! [Thumbs up] Slippage: It doesn't slip off at all. In fact, it's really comfortable, with a soft sole that doesn't make your feet tired. I walked around Nanjing all day and didn't feel tired at all. As long as the size fits, you're good to go. [Bold] Ease of Wear: I just tie the laces in a fixed way, so putting them on and taking them off is super easy. I recommend finding a comfortable tightness and tying the laces securely, so you don't have to loosen them every time you take off the shoes. [Respect] Overall: I absolutely love this Adidas pair! I want to wear them every day! The best part is how easy it is to match with different outfits. The only downside is that it gets a bit cold in winter, even though it's made of leather. But that's not a big deal—I can just wait for warmer days to wear them again! [Crying face]"lg...More

"The new shoes are a bit slippery when you first get them. If you're particular about foot feel, these might not be for you since the sole is quite flat. However, they're great for styling, especially perfect for shorts in the summer! The quality of the shoes is really good."lg...More

The biggest concern from online reviews was the weight of the entire shoe at 500g, but in reality, the weight distribution is well-balanced and the shoe fits snugly, so the heaviness isn't noticeable. For someone who's 5'11" and 143 lbs, the midsole feels soft yet resilient, and the cushioning is more than sufficient for me. The full-length TPU on the sides doesn't cause any discomfort during push-off or bending. The transition from front to back is smooth, and I didn't feel any significant issues with toe splay. However, during sharp cuts, the upper feels a bit stiff and doesn't flex easily without applying force, so it requires some leg strength to handle. The outsole provides great traction forward but is slightly slippery laterally, which is acceptable. As for streetwear appeal, despite the large honeycomb-like openings on the sides, the sock-like inner boot design limits breathability, making it a bit hot for summer wear, similar to the AJ11, which is better suited for fall and winter. In terms of looks, it's hard to fault it, though the top-down view does resemble a military-style shoe 😂. It's versatile enough for both playing and casual wear, much like a Yeezy. I just wish Adidas could improve their craftsmanship a bit.lg...More

"The shoebox is a pull-out design. The actual sneakers look quite premium, better than the pictures, though beauty is subjective. Foot shape compatibility: I have slightly wide feet and found the fit to be good, suitable for most foot types. However, there's a slight feeling of hallux valgus. The sides have soft TPU, providing high shoe-upper strength, but the overall shoe-to-foot integration is just average. The arch support isn't suitable for high arches (I have a slightly high arch). Comfort: The initial feel is quite firm, with good court feel and responsive push-off. The sole is relatively flat, lacking much rolling motion. There's a minor heel slip issue, but it's not significant. Traction and durability: The grip is strong, allowing precise movements without slipping. The outsole feels soft to the touch, but its durability will require longer testing."lg...More
