    Bought a pair of the Air Jordan XIV "Ferrari" retros, in black to match my Nero car. MJ is a *huge* Ferrari buff, and had this release, available in black, red, and yellow, incorporate design and materials that look and feel like they belong to a Ferrari.

    But the dorky part is that I wear them only to drive the car.

    Not sure what car they had in mind when they designed the shoe, but it was probably more modern than my 348 Spider.

    I think the 348 looks pretty cool actually, it’s got some 80’s design cues that now look pretty fresh. The R8 was the last car to purposely use strakes of any kind and that I think is a very good looking car still (the original)

    I've been wearing the PUMA Drift Cats for years.....to the point they are my boating/garage/painting shoes towards the End of Life.

    They are great on the Ducati too, although many cringe they are not very protective in that application.
    Other than the glue "aging out" on older ones and eventually the fake leather goes to pot, I like them.

    These MJs are cool, IMO
    I have never seen SPARCO PUMAS do they carry a flame rating??

    I just live on what shows up at DSW and the Outlet Mall stores....

    Nice to know @BigTex

    My first pair, got them online at Puma, so far so good!

    Sturdy construction, good pedal grip on the sole, narrow, pointed toe and good toe feel, no sides so your feet don't rub

    Think I'll have them for a while
