Clean 90 Sneaker (Men)

Great shoe! Having owning the Cps, Greats, and Koio's, these are up there with the Koio's. Im very glad the cps cost so much because it gives me a chance to try other smaller more newer brands some of which I face more from Nordstroms and these other brands are great as well definitely a bargain for sure! Few things in mind, the toe box is wider than all brands due to the silhouette, but doesnt look bad in person definitely not like the Stan Smiths. Out of all the shoes, these have the most soft and supple leather, they feel and look amazing. They almost look and feel like a broken in iPhone leather case, may be a downfall to longevity however because those cases patina very fast and the shoe I received had a slight chip on the inside but that's nitpicking. The laces although not waxed goes well with the shoe very minimal. The suede heel padding is thick and gets in the way when putting on the shoe, but comfortable when on, not sure how they will last. Love the clean Arigato logo, the black versions showed a little glue where the shoe was glued but Arigato says its glued for a purpose as well as stitched (stitching on point). The soles are as big as Greats not bad makes you look taller. Overall I see where the extra costs are going to, love the silhouette, but not sure it'll take the same abuse I give Greats (tank made). If you could get them for a good price that Nordstrom has it in, its worth a shot, Im definitely eyeing the special color ways from Arigato i.e. the blue suede and black, but as far as a daily shoe it seems too delicate imo, but you may like that they are more delicate as they are a tad bit more luxurious. Shoes are most comfortable out of the box and doesnt need break in, they fit true to size as well. Lastly just wanted to include the shoes have best padding imo, a tad more than the koio's/cps, but less than Greats definitely in the middle and perfect, hope this helps someone out who may be considering this brand.

I bought these to wear with joggers and cotton khaki slim chinos. I like the fact that the name is very small and subtle. I have some cotton white sneakers but I wanted a pair that is a little more dressier and you can wear when the cold months come around. This shoe may be a bit pricey for some but that is the look that you want when you go upscale with quality joggers. In this case I have a navy blue with a gray strip with a green pin stripe pant from Nordstrom. Wearing this with a solid white slim fit tee shirt. Can't wait till I can get out and wear them more often.

Honestly this to me was just average. Leather didn’t wow me like the good man brand did. The leather on the arigato felt a little bit plasticky, unlike the good man brand which felt like car seat leather. Shape was on the safe side. Not narrow or wide. I’m a size 9.5 on adidas,so I went half size down on these which fit good. If you like the brand, I say go for it but there better option at that same price range. I thought it coming with the chop sticks were cool.
