The unusual high top kicks are covered in a light colored fur on the sides as well as on the upper portion. They're further embellished with golden decorations and dark brown fur on the back. The iconic Nike swoosh can be seen on the sides of the tennis shoes in black. I assume this is [fake fur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur), but in any event, I don't quite like these sneakers. To me that fur looks like it does not belong there. What do you think?
