Overall I like these. At first I was a little shocked and dismayed as I had spent a lot of money on a new pair of Nikes and they didn't come in the original box. Instead, the Ebay box stated that the original packaging was damaged. But as I thought about it, I realized that they are trying to keep shipping costs down by keeping the packaging as small and light as possible, while also trying to prevent shipments from being stolen by more expensive brands like Nike. The shoes look good and fit well. I really like the sporty-modern, but at the same time a little bit retro style. They offer a lot of protection and support while still being thin and breathable which is great for my feet especially when running or exercising. No major complaints or problems to report. I would recommend her!
