I bought these shoes because I loved the original DMX technology back in the 90's.  I missed out on these back then so this time I got them.
First of all the cherry color on these are more like a tangerine color or a dark orange rather than a reddish color.  The material is like canvas or maybe a synthetic canvas.  One extra that I noticed at night time is that the silver or gray piping that goes around the shoelace loops and the triangle shaped patch on the front outside of the shoe and the back underneath the pull tab are reflective, looks awesome.

The shoes are thickly padded on the inside, around the ankle and the tongue.  The insole is a dense but spongy type of maybe foam or polyurethane.  The out-sole is icy blue and transparent, you can see the DMX air sac through the out-sole.  Even-though the out-sole is clear and transparent it is pretty hard and durable, for the first couple of times that you wear the shoe you will hear clicking and clacking when you walk on a hard surface.

I owned a pair of Reebok Answer 3's which is a basketball shoe that also have the DMX technology in them and when I wore them I could feel the air moving back and forth from the heel to the toe and vice versa in the shoe when I played basketball which I liked very much because it made the cushioning great!  But with these I do not feel the air moving back and forth as much as I felt in the Answer III's.  I think because the shoe is so thickly padded and the insole is thick and spongy that you do not feel the air moving through all that thickness.

If you ever worn a pair thickly padded house shoe slippers those might resemble the feeling of these shoes.  Cushioning is 10 out of 10.  Lateral support is 8 of 10.  Around your heel area there is extra girth and reinforcement which makes it feel like a low top basketball shoe.  But since it is made of the canvas type material it is not as heavy as you would think.  Style is 8 of 10.  Only reason I gave these an 8 is because my wife told me "You paid that much for that shoe, there ugly!".  The first day I wore them to a restaurant and a guy stopped me and asked "Where did you buy those from?"  Shows how much my wife knows about sneakers.

I am not a runner but I do not think this is a long distance type of running shoe mainly because of the girth of the shoe.  Maybe a recreational runner for 30 minutes or so.  But hey like I said I am not a runner so take that by a grain of salt.  Basketball I do know about and these feel like a low top basketball shoe in disguise, mainly because of how thickly padded they are and the lateral reinforcement on the back heel area of the shoe which makes it look wide in the back.

These are perfect for styling and a all day long walk in one of the Disney World parks.  Get a pair while they last in your size!
