What owners single out
In their words
“This is such a GEM ! As soon as I found out about the horse stitching on the shoes when looking at the photos, I purchased it right away. Haven't seen Nike doing something like this in a while, especially targeting a niche theme such as "Lunar New Year" :-) The actual product looks very nice and is a perfect blend of matching colors that suits my style.”

“I bought this product in July, and they are already coming apart. They are not worn for sports or on weekends; they have only been worn during the school day. Not worth the money. Dick's only offered a 10% refund, and when I went to Nike, you have to file a claim and send the product back to them to let them inspect them. At this point, you might as well order everything off of DHgate.”
