The colored bands across the top and sides are very neon, which really isn't represented in the picture. While description says black/multi,, it really it should say black/multi neon, or black/multi flourescent in description color. Its very bright, perhaps too bright for my taste. Had it not been neon, like purples, pinks, blues, I would like it much better. This is ' hot' oranges, yellows, greens, The photos used, are not as bright as actual sneakers. I like what is in the photos.  Comfort wise, they are very very comfortable so exchanging for solid black
