These started wearing off after my 2nd volleyball game as the pictures can show.  UPDATE 8/13/15 I removed 2 extra stars from my original review for a very simple reason that other reviewers have mentioned, and that is the shoe sole started coming apart. And to make it even worse, during the game the loose sole piece rolled under my foot and made me fall while trying to stop my run. I also played in these exactly 7 times (3 sets games each) which really unacceptable for such a company and at this price tag.  UPDATE 9/7/15 I contacted asics USA about this issue, and they replied within a couple of days asking to return the send them the shoes and get a refurbished (exact similar model) pair with no guarantee on the color. But this obviously raises 2 issues: (1) I won't have an indoor pair for at least 30 days (that's their min turn around time according to the support email I got) and (2) I will run into this exact same issue right after I get my other pair... I really wish I could get a store receipt (even for 80% of this pair's price) or something like that to get a different model.  I'm really disappointed in asics, and I will probably just look for mizuno shoes (they seem much more durable - most of my team play in the tornado for over a year)
