Is this design novel? I believe this design is not new to Owen fans or people who have worn Owen shoes. Of course, did you say it copied the designs of previous generations? I don't think so either. What exactly is this feeling? I can't express myself clearly. The simple description is the feeling of knowing that it is Owen's signature shoes at first sight. I can't say there is no innovation, but I prefer to call it series continuity!
After the precipitation of six generations of products, the current Owen series has its own distinctive characteristics. The theme of Owen series, which has always been oriented to actual combat, has also been continued in the new generation of products. In fact, the foot feeling has not changed much. The sense of feet of Owen series sneakers has never existed as a selling point or a shining point. Due to the demand of Owen's playing style, choosing zoom Tubro air cushion instead of zoom Air air cushion with better flexibility will undoubtedly lose some comfort, but the benefit is also obvious-quick feedback. In fact, as far as foot feeling is concerned, Owen 7 has been able to meet the needs of most consumers, so you don't have to be too demanding.
My consistent concept of basketball shoes is that the foot feels enough and it is not good to be too soft. But wear resistance is more important to me. After all, for most people, sneakers didn't start as short-term consumables. The Owen 7 outsole still uses XDR wear rubber, with excellent wear resistance and slip resistance as always, which greatly meets the needs of the student party.
The texture of the upper may be the subtraction of this pair of sneakers. Different from AJ's positioning (both practical and advanced), Owen series is more pragmatic. The upper fabric is made of hot-melt material similar to knitting, which is firm and light. However, hot-melt materials are inevitably cheaper than woven uppers and leather uppers. This is also a problem that has always existed in the whole series. Playing ball doesn't matter much, but going out really doesn't have a sense of class.
The advantage of the whole pair of shoes lies in Owen's outstanding personal elements, which greatly meets the needs of many people to start with star signature shoes. No shortcomings, but no highlights. Will you start with the golden mean Owen 7?
Summary:
Overall, Owen 7 is still a good pair of practical shoes. If there is any bright spot in it, it can't be found, but there is basically nothing wrong with it. If you buy an index, look at your personal needs! If you already have previous generations of Owen signature shoes, the recommendation index of these shoes is not so high. If you want to buy a simple uniform, it is still worth starting with!
