Review: Great casual sneaker! - I love these sneakers! I tried out several different sneakers before finding these, and these are by far my favorite. I was looking for sneakers to wear casually, for walks to the park with my kids or shopping. I needed something comfortable and stylish. I ordered the black on black version. These sneakers look great with jeans, and the dark color means they don't show spots. They still look new after several months of light wear. I've worn them all day, with a lot of walking, and they were comfortable the entire day. The shoes have a little bit of support (enough that I don't feel the pavement as I'm walking), but not so much that I feel like I'm walking on cushions. I highly recommend these shoes!
Review: One of the sweetest looking sneakers around. - Wow! The picture of the Onitsuka Tiger Colorado Eighty-five (light grey/navy) doesn't do it justice. Sure it looks awesome in the picture on my computer screen but when I received the package and opened the shoe box, I was really blown away with the style and the high quality materials put into this sneaker. The stitching looks tight and strong. The white fabric part isn't just solid. It has a checker board effect to it that I didn't notice from the picture. The laces have a cool matching design. Very unique eye catching shoe design. Comfort? Very nice. I have the Ultimate 81 as well and I didn't find it too comfortable. It was very flat, low to the ground and it didn't have much cushion. The Colorado Eight-five is probably a 1/4 inch higher off the ground and it has more cushion. The Colorado Eighty-five is simply lot more comfortable than my Ultimate 81 and it is also better looking. I would wear these with nice jeans or to workout at my gym. Would I run on the treadmill in them? I wouldn't simply because I want to keep these as long as possible and running on the treadmill or outside would put too much wear and tear on them. I consider this more of a fashion sneaker than a real running sneaker. I have plenty of running sneakers that I can beat up. Price? This is well worth the original retail price and if you get it on sale, you will be much happier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad. And fantastic for the price.
*by S***R on February 3, 2016*

I bought the blue/light grey color. Just wanted to give a heads up that the light grey description is not the color of the suede, but the stripes. My mistake. I was thinking the pic was showing a light grey suede and my monitor was just a little off. The color of the suede is kind of a khaki color. Almost a Georgia clay color, which I was not expecting. The pic....the blue is right on, the orange is right on, and the tan is a little deeper and richer than expected. That's about the only fault I've found so far. They fit fine, great styling, and seem pretty comfortable for new sneakers. I normally shoot for EE width and these are slightly narrow through the forefoot. Not bad though, and not so narrow as to make them uncomfortable, and I know my big feet will stretch them out in no time. They seem like good athletic shoes, and for the price, hard to beat.
