Well the tongue of the shoe kind of has a paper like feel/thickness. But the shoes are really lightweight which means that they don't feel clunky or draggedy. Albeit the superstars I once had were way more comfortable, these are still fine. My Adidas have a tendency to squeak when I walk in them too, I dunno why.
It all comes down to what kind of style you have. If you have a preppy type of style you may want to lean in towards the lacoste or diesel. Two brands that I personally find lame and trendy. I prefer a very casual style in my dress, unless I'm going to a classy party or a dress to impress kind of club. Adidas represents classic shoes, kind of like what frank sinatra represents.
I got mine in black on white. White on black is cool too. I just like white shoes because they stand out a little better. I only wear them once every third week because white shoes will get dirty rather quickly, and you will never see me wearing a pair of shoes that looks like you played a few games of basketball in them.
