I had a pair of vintage 2007 Nike sneakers that ended up breaking so I decided to buy another pair of the same. Sure, they're light, but that's because Nike skimps on the material. The soles of my other Nike shoes were very grippy for basketball courts. This shoe has a cheaper and harder plastic sole. The skin is thinner and cheaper. Not very soft either. I learned my lesson about shopping in a store where you can check the quality before you pay.
