i purchased the trainers and payed an extra £30 to have the welsh flag put on each trainer and the flags fell off on the 1st day of wearing them disgraceful they were just tiny little stickers and not sewn into the material of the trainers i could not even get hold of anyone to talk to about this issue ! so will not be purchasing from adidas again sorry

I’ve been into ballet sneakers for years, but I’m so glad they are finally trending because it means more brands are making them. These are amazing. One of the things I love about ballet sneakers is how they are deconstructed, and these are as deconstructed as it gets. I was surprised at the quality of the leather weaves. It’s actually super supple. This makes sense given the price point. Before having these in hand, I couldn’t understand why they were so expensive, but after seeing them in person, I get it. I love that these are in the classic colorway as well. It matches so many things. I’m hoping that these continue to have more colorways released, that the quality stays the same. I would suggest sizing down, especially if you are new to deconstructed fits or ballet flats. These fit a half size smaller than my sambas. Adidas in general is typically smaller than most other shoes for me as well. I tend to wear an 8.5 or 8/ uk 6- in all other brands. In these I grabbed a 7 and a 7.5, and kept the 7.
