I have several pairs of these that Ive had for over fifteen years. The mesh shelves are great because shoes cant fall through. It looks like the exact same plastic mold with the exception that this company has added detail to the plastic. This material is strong and thick while still having good air circulation. During the two weeks that Ive owned this, Ive researched it quite a bit, and I really had my Ah-Ha moment during a 6-hour blackout on Christmas Night when I used this in its "Flickering LIght Mode" instead of a flashlight. Ordered based on previous reviews as I wanted something comfortable and hopefully would last. Product has hot glue right on the front of it was a Christmas gift and its looks awful because the glue stands right out as soon as u hold up the sweater or put it on. Quick shipping, product as described. No sound coming from one earbud only after 4 months. Great look and true size.
