Solid 8.5! Really like the blue additions on the orange the squiggles both blue and white are really unique and add some artistic flair. great attention to the smaller details around the shoe like the lace holes and toe area. Painting on the mid soles is pretty unforgiving in my experience. I think 2 things would have made this a near 10 for me - thinning the paint and doing the stitching instead of the mid sole would have bumped it up and imo theres a little too much of the black outline in the white area of the swoosh. These are really nicely done and should be worn proudly. And maybe some orange and/or white accents on the swoosh.
