the whiteness of the shoes is great they are really light but after a few weeks I don't know if they are new. I hope so, but the front has started to kind of fall apart. I ended up reassembling it and I don't want to send them back because I really like them but also around the bottom where it attaches to the shoe part. I've started seeing someone put yellow markers on it. Just buy at your own risk. It's just my personal experience. I'm a big fan of K-Swiss. Then I will definitely buy them again, but I'm just a little disappointed with the quality
