Hey @MKBHD congrats on your new shoe and thanks for sending us a pair!

I have one big problem though- these are shoes, not sandals.

What if I told you the second biggest inspiration for these sneakers was to replace the floating sandal that's dominated the studio for years

“It was incredible to actually make a sneaker that’s never been made before. The details, silhouette, and materials are inspired by my personal journey and things I already appreciate.”

Overpriced, but comfortable as a casual shoe

I originally bought this shoe when it first came out and it's been a fairly regular part of my shoe rotation. Pros: It's a very comfortable shoe that's easy to get in/out of. It's one of those great "beater" shoes to have when you don't know what to wear, knowing it'll be comfortable on your feet. They also generally fit great, and I like the shoelace design as you just need to tie it once and you're set.

Cons: Material quality is not great and not worth the $190 and doesn't feel as durable or high-quality compared to other shoes that are generally in that price range. The MKBHD markup is insane - while I like the shoe and it's a part of my rotation, I know I can get much better value and a similar shoe at a much lower price from other brands.

Poor quality

I liked: the style, stretchy shoelaces

I hated: your feet (like wheels on a drift car) have roll, they are not parallel to the ground. As it happens on the right foot more, I think it's just a defect. Also shoes are slightly narrow. Price to value ratio is high price for low value.

Extremely comfortable pair of shoes!!

It was so nice to be able to receive the pair of shoes and try them on. They were so comfortable and I’m so glad that I can finally get rid of my old pair of shoes since they’ve been causing me some trouble lately. My husband has been a big fan of Marques for a long time and when he announced his collaboration with Atoms, he immediately bought a pair for himself. I decided to wait for a few months to see if he truly like the shoes before deciding to get them too and they do not disappoint at all!! Thank you so much!!
