The 2007 Mid Top is the same shoe as the 2006 High top. The Leather finish is smooth rather than the old brushed finish. I prefer the smooth leather since it's easy to keep clean. The new bold white/silver logo stands out. You either love it or hate it. It seems most people do not dig it. The reason to ride this shoe is not for it's looks but for the sticky rubber sole. The sole sticks to pedals like TP to a brides high heel shoe.
