I’ve been playing in the ae 1s before the book 1s released and while I liked them I’d agree with giving the edge to the books. Also a much lighter/less clunkier shoe.
I actually don’t mind the simplicity of the mirage pairs but I can see why others might. I think there’s a happy medium between those and overdoing it like the hike pairs we’ve seen. I’m hoping they find a better balance on future releases.
