Adore These

So I originally found the alternative version of these whilst searching for a pair minimalist/barefoot shoes similar to Retro 1s and then realized they had a high top version and was like "Need these". So of course after I copped me a pair and I have to say I really adore em. They look great, genuinely you might not n even realize at first that they aren't actual Nikes at a quick glance. More importantly they feel pretty darn good as well, the toe box is plenty wide so my toes don't feel cramped or anything like they do in regular shoes, and they truly do feel like Zero drop, so they def fit the minimalist check boxes for me, on top of also being fashionable which is something minimalist/barefoot shoes can suffer from at times.

The only flaw that I could say I have with these if ya even wanna call it that is that they are "snugg" in that it can be just a smidge difficult to get on/off, but I also feel like that in a way a good thing as my feet dint feel like they are shifting or moving around while I'm in em and the getting on/off is only a minor hindrance when I wear socks, to which I try not to when I wear my minimalist/barefoot shoes really get that ground feel. That aside I absolutely think these are worth it especially if you are a fan of the aesthethic, but also don't want don't wanna sacrifice the benefits of this type of shoe for it's traditional counter part! Honestly would get another pair especially if they made in Black & Red, which i really hope they do someday lmao.

Hi Tyrone,

Thank you so much for your detailed and enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you love the look and feel of your Courtside Mid and that they check all the right boxes for you in terms of comfort, style, and true zero-drop design.

We appreciate your feedback about the snug fit when putting them on and off. To provide a solution, we offer our elastic lacing system Safe & Go, which is available in our shop under the Accessories section. This system makes slipping in and out of your shoes much easier while maintaining a secure fit.

And we hear you on the Black & Red colorway – we'll pass your request on to our team! 😉 Thanks again for your support, and we hope you continue to enjoy your shoes.

Best regards,
Sabine

Love these!

And someone who loves fashionable shoes… making the swap to barefoot has been tough and slow. These have been such a great find! Comfortable! Looks great with a ton of outfits.
Shoes run cold though, so wear warmer socks or plan for higher temps than 50f if you wear
