Good!

With the Jazz 81 Peak on, looking posh is quite effortless. Its partly mesh, partly suede leather shell is a stunner, giving off a fun, retro vibe. On top of that, the shoe delivers cloud-like comfort, which is, thankfully, not exclusive to sneakerheads with regular feet. It might not be a great idea to let it get soaked, though.
