Kids' Superstar Sneaker

Pros: greatly improved fit and comfort, loving the new padding and better (memory foam?) insoles. Last time I bought this iridescent colour was back in 2018, and I wore those enough that they'd started to get uncomfortable, plus they needed to be tied extra tight to fit properly...these replacements fit like a glove out of the box, instant comfort. Happy and non-hurting feet at the end of the day again! Liking the new version of the design too, "rounder" and slightly chunkier, nostalgic retro 90s feel. Cons: laces are flimsy and way too short. Arrived with a few "runs" where threads were already coming undone. Not long enough to lace all the way up regardless without pulling excessively tight, so I had to replace them anyway. Also worried about durability of the upper: leather already got noticeable creases after just the first wear. With past Superstars, it's taken a few months to get that particular wear pattern between the toecap and stripes. Absent these two concerns, would have easily rated 5 stars across the board.
