It's nothing but an online fraud.🤬 I ordered 3 sneakers on late Jan 2024, and nothing has arrived. The time is going on. They kept saying some issues caused the delay, but what kind of issues could cause a 3-months delay? You factory closed? It's rediculous, seeking refund now.😡

Hello Robert, we're very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Pre-orders were delayed by a month as stated in our follow up email but we were working tirelessly to ensure the shoes reached you at the earliest. As I can see, all three pairs reached you on the 20th of April and I hope you loved them!

I had to wait for over a month for the sneakers to arrive. When they finally did, I had to pay over 50 euros for import duties, even though the website states that they're free. Because of this, I had to refuse the delivery at the door. Whether I'll get my money back remains uncertain. So, if you're in the Netherlands, I wouldn't recommend ordering these shoes

Hello, while the shipping is completely borne by us, we are unfortunately unable to control customs as they vary from region to region. Hence we've stated the information on this in our shipping policy.

Great idea, bad realisation

Great idea, bad realisation.
I‘m waiting now 3 weeks for 1 pair of shoes and i haven‘t got any shipment confirmation (only order confirmation).
I really like the idea behind those shoes but 3 weeks waiting and no estimated delivery date is a no for me.

Shoes not shipped after a month and no response from sales team.

I ordered Cloud White Y2K Pro shoes on February 5th 2024, and it's now March 9th 2024 with no sign of the shoes being shipped. I've sent numerous emails to the sales team, but there's been no response. It's disappointing that there's no other way to contact them. At this point I'm will consider myself lucky to get a refund. These shoes aren't cheap either. Update.. I received the refund.

Good initiative, horrible product

I was all for their initiative but my god are these shoes the worst. They’re extremely narrow and the plastic they’ve used is so hard it gives my feet blisters.
Waste of money, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Good product and good interaction on delayed shipping

The product shipped later than I had initially been told but the company was responsive to email queries and the updated date I was given was met. Delighted with the product itself -- fit, look and comfort is great. Other reviews have said that the sizing was off but I ordered my usual size and have no complaints.

You guys are cheats

You guys are cheats. You took money from me and did not send the shoes I ordered. After months of writing you emails I suddenly get a mail saying I have requested cancellation! And you have processed the refund. Most unethical!
Btw my order no was 1191. I did a pre order when you launched and now I guess you do not want to supply the shoes at the discount price that you had offered it to me at.

Have not been shipped yet (I ordered a month ago)

I love the brand idea. However I ordered a month ago and the order status still says I will recieve an email when they get send out. I red a review where nothing happend after 4 months! Now I‘m really hoping this is not the case with my order… I already contacted the whatsapp customer service and wrote an email but havent got an answer. How else should I contact the company to get any information about my order or at least get my 99€ back?

My son loves the sneakers & how they're made but they're a bit stiff & require time & wear to break in.

New Customer Approved

I saw your company featured on Business Insider. I was very impressed and curious. So, I purchased a pair. I couldn’t be happier with the fit and quality. I’ve told others about your brand, and I get questions “what shoes are those?” occasionally. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to my next pair! Thanks
