They look retarded. I saw them in the stores, and they still look retarded.
You know what they look like? They look like a van. That's right, a van. Not "vans" the shoe company, but an automobile. As if you were a giant, and you had to use vans for shoes. The front of the shoes look like the hood of a car. They should make you buy the shoes a few sizes larger, so you can open up the front of the shoes and put your trinkets in your shoes while you play basketball.
Besides, it looks like some poor kid found some styrofoam and decided to makes some shoes out of it.
