I picked up these when I was in Japan the other week. Japan is heaven if you have a sneaker fetish. (I don’t). You find stores all over. Every corner. There are places that even have the “claw” type games and other arcade games where you can win vintage and/or one of a kind collectible shoes. It costs anywhere from 5,000 yen to 10,000 yen to try depending where you go and how valuable the sneakers are.
I got these at ABC Mart. 8000 yen. ($60) Cheap, mainly cause they on the ugly side. But I have always found adidas to make a decent walking shoe.
Taking these to try out and break in when I go to Paris tomorrow. Lightweight and semi flexible, but wouldn’t wear them for lower body training. Not that I will go to a gym in Paris. Their gym scene is almost as bad as japans.
