Unquestionable cloud-like feel
Walking on streets and practically anywhere in the city feels comfy, thanks to its bouncy Boost sole, which gives a cushy underfoot feel. It's as heavenly as the ZX 2K sneakers.
Comfortable straight from the box
There is no need for a break-in as it feels so comfy from day one.
Pairs with lots of streetwear clothes
It's one of the retro running sneakers that go well with casual to sporty wear. It's that stylish.
Not heavy at all
There's no need to drag this down the street. Despite the chunky wedge sole, this shoe feels light.
No scrimping in quality
Sneaker fanatics say the use of soft suede and premium nylon on the cover put a lot of value on it.
Retropy E5 is a blast from the past
This upgraded version of the Inikis (i5923) offers a good blend of old meets modern style. But, it comes with a tongue that is longer than the standard Classic that it tends to rub against the instep. It also makes the shoe even warmer than expected.
One squeaky sneak
The lug pattern on the outsole prevents unnecessary slipping. That said, its rubber sole tends to create noise, drawing unwanted attention when walking.
It's a bit squeezy too
Broad-footed users find its build from the toe box to the midfoot narrower than expected. Its nylon cover isn't stretchy too.
