I was a little nervous trying them on but my son really liked the style and the price was within my budget. They looked amazing when they arrived, the colors are rich and the style is one of a kind. He's had them for over a month now and they're holding up surprisingly well apart from a few daily scrapes. I have no doubt that they will be enough not only for the summer, but for the whole academic year. We will buy this style again if it outgrows this pair.
