The shoes are exactly as pictured on website just the packaging needs improvement. The shoes look great but the box they came in was extremely cheap; however, if the costs are lower than Nike because of the packaging fine but there is a reason brands like Nike, Abdias, etc. spend money on packaging, one is that it makes the product look more expensive.
Also, when I ordered I don't remember seeing that shipping takes so long. Luckily I ordered early since this was a birthday gift. I understand...
