“Three years ago, I purchased the first iteration of this shoe in grey velvet and I adore them. A beautiful sneaker I can dress up or down. Super soft and comfortable to walk in all day. Definitely a 5-star shoe! I was excited to see these back in red and blue so immediately ordered another pair. They're fine but this new version is just a little fussy compared to the original. Different satiny fabric around the heel, stiffer construction, higher tongue (seems like more padding). And the red is pretty loud as opposed to elegantly understated. Hope Olu Kai will bring back the original design and construction again in the future.”
