MC Rap Lo (or Hi) are the best dunk alternative out! They are comfortable, easy to wear, skate great, and go with most outfits. I had the Gray/White and the fat laces are true step up from the thinner flat laces of previous colorways.
My biggest complaint is how they do not come with STI insoles like Marana/Joslin. I'd give 5 stars if they offered better insoles.
These shoes have a midsole, but need a better insole to be even more supportive/ideal to skate in. The comfort with swapping in STI/G6/Footprint, etc. makes these shoes a great daily driver for wearing or skating, though!
The shoes are a 5/5. They are very much the same shoe from back in the day! I am happy with the sneakers. I wish Etnies put my shoes in a box before they mailed me them. They used a BAG , so the shoebox was destroyed. Luckily the shoes weren’t damaged! Use a cardboard box instead of those grey/white bags! I collect sneakers so the box is important to me also. I’m knocking one point for the box. Otherwise great sneakers!
