So I was a little nervous about buying them because of the not-so-hot reviews of them being fake/used/whatever. I can safely say they were packaged oddly but appear to be new. When I say oddly packaged, I mean they absurdly sealed it with tape, but it was in a new, regular orange Nike box. Shoes look new, smell new, new. I will say they are a bit tighter and half a size bigger which is an accurate conclusion from other reviews I have read here. I didn't listen to those lmao reviews. I should. But overall they are great! No complaints here.
