They're not made like they used to be

At the risk of sounding like I'm pining for the old days, the modern version of this legendary shoe just isn't as well made as it used to be. It's still a durable court shoe or knock-around, but the materials of construction aren't quite as good, and they don't have the high-quality feel that the old ones did. I've been wearing this model as casual outdoor shoes since the 1970s, so I've had ample time to evaluate them.
