The reasoning
Careful reading of the insole measurements is required for the Adidas Y-3 Kaiwa Blue Wave Mesh Running Shoes. The single most important figure for this low-top mesh model is the internal length, not the declared EU size. At CNY 238, this pair offers a striking blue wave design, but the narrow midfoot construction means a standard size might feel restrictive. You must compare the seller's millimeter chart against a shoe you already own to avoid a tight fit. Do not guess your size based on other running models. Open the item on LitBuy to check the live price, the size, and the stock before ordering.
What the photo proves
Midsole design features are apparent, showing the shape of the blue foam inserts. They also show the knit texture of the tongue and the heel padding.
What it cannot tell you
Elasticity of the neoprene ankle collar cannot be confirmed from the listing, nor can the density of the underfoot cushioning. Treat the flexibility claims as unverified.
Before you add it to cart
Pull out the insole of your best-fitting running shoe right now. Measure it carefully from the heel to the absolute tip of the toe, then match this exact millimeter figure to the seller's table.
