The little gray tennis shoes turned out great according to the recipient.  I have bought these for so many parents over the years, and they are a much sought-after hit.  Especially during outings and during cool weather.  The gray ones are just so nice right now in the toned-down aspect.  They could easily go with nicer clothing for baby photos and with casual kid clothes of all sorts.  Very cute for matching with the current more gray-oriented  baby clothing at this time--very much a boy item, depending on the parent's tastes.
