| adidas Originals Men's Italia 74 Training Shoe by adidas Originals bonitos y bien comodos |
Soy fan de los tenis adidas desde hace mucho, este par italia 74 se ven muy bien, son algo parecidos a los gazelle, pero mejor estilizados.
Son bien comodos y confortables, pero si piensas usarlos para correr y maltrato diario no te van a durar tanto.

| adidas Originals Men's Italia 74 Training Shoe by adidas Originals A stylish casual shoe |
| I bought this pair of shoes about nine months ago and couldn't be happier. Adidas sizes tend to run a little narrow, but if you know what size you wear, then this is a great price for a casual shoe. I've received numerous compliments on the style and had people ask me where I bought them and for how much. I'd say they're not really for sport--more for just everyday wear and to go with jeans. I'll probably get another pair in a different color when these finally wear out. |
| adidas Originals Men's Italia 74 Training Shoe by adidas Originals Great shoes at great price |
| Comfortable to walk long distances in. Look great. Only con is you get a bit sweaty because they don't breathe very well. |
| adidas Originals Men's Italia 74 Training Shoe by adidas Originals The Italia was a Training Flat (3 stars) |
Description correction: it was not specifically for indoor.
Before it became a casual favorite, the original Italia was the state-of-the-art Training (outdoor distance running) shoe in the sixties, before Onitsuka Tiger and Nike shoes challenged it.
This was when there were only 3 categories of running shoes: Training - Racing - Spikes.
The outsole of the Italia was thick green crepe.
White upper with green stripes.
It resembled the Country II, but lower to the ground.
Kihachiro Onitsuka died on Saturday September 29 2007. He was 89.

| adidas Originals Men's Italia 74 Training Shoe by adidas Originals uncomfortable |
These are uncomfortable - just came back from a 20 min walk and my feet hurt. Look good though.
One thing - black leather sneakers are better than white because it's easier to deal with scratches, I just treat them the same way as my leather dress shoes. Guess will try the black Samba next.
Bought them from a local store for $45. |
