I just got a pair of these; they come shipped from American Athletics. Arrived quickly, and exactly as expected. A couple of notes though:-Realize this is much more the marriage of a boot and a shoe than a sneaker. They're a bit warm for the summer (Craig must have been dying in his scenes) and require a bit of breaking in. I have gotten a couple of "nice hiking boot" comments.
-Some people (read some of the reviews on Zappos) find the tongue arrangement uncomfortable. Like many hiking boots, the tongue is not a separate flap (think sneakers) but is instead connected with extra flaps of leather to right underneath the eyelets; in boots this feature is to ensure that water cannot drain directly into the boot. I similarly found this uncomfortable at the start (it tends to bunch up when you put your shoes on) but a combination of manually straightening the leather and simply breaking in the boots has alleviated the problem
-There's no tread- it's simply flat. No big deal; surprisingly good purchase on most surfaces and good to drive in, but I would be a bit worried with these on the snow or sand.
-Extremely hydrophilic. I recommend treating them as soon as you get them.
Those notes aside, I am very pleased with the purchase. Comfortable shoe, looks great, and recommended to others.
