Only two views available (from what I could find) and from the view of the sole it looked like the inside is very slanted. I'd like to see a pair in real life.

I like the Nike Free toe box, but everything else about them sucks (it basically conforms to your foot).

If you go off list price G-Units are more expensive than lavers. Lots of people bothered to buy those.

G-units are comparably good, wich has been proven. I would not trust this shoe enough to buy it.

The material looks like maybe vinal or some kind of platic... not mesh anyway. Maybe mods could be performed to fix it up propperly... I don't know about that inside surface though. If you were to flatten out the slant you might wind up with a huge mountain of shoe-goo (or whatever you use) on the inside surface, making the shoes too heavy. I guess they have potential... those pics don't really say anymore that though. "Potential"

^^that would ruin a pair of Footbag shoes... all that added weight would blow! It would be supper-cool for casual shoes though. Imagine going to a party with beer dispencors in your feet! that would be so sic
