Adidas x Size? - Shanghai

Model JS1372

They’re awesome. Honestly I kind of had really high expectations with these given they are limited anniversary shoes and my expectations were skewed by getting the Wien (JI4509) also from Size? two weeks ago that were the same price ($140 cad). I have to reiterate just how good the Wien were the quality control was top notch and the materials impeccable and so in that sense it was a bit of a let down for me with the Shanghai, but the truth is those are really good for that price, as good as any Adidas trainers made in Vietnam. In comparison the Rotterdam 00s were $160 cad with the same upper quality, but with synthetic stripes and heel tab and simpler construction and I thought the price on those was pretty decent.

So putting the right glasses on I’m more than happy with these, the upper is all leather except for the tongue, the heel lining is leather, the rest of the shoes has a textile lining, I love the details like how they have the name on the tip of the laces, the colours are vibrant, the quality is solid even if I paid $180 I’d be super happy with them. Also more than anything I feel incredibly lucky that I managed to just get a pair in the first place.
