Off the board for a long time but getting back into it and wanted something that wasn't too bulky like the old days, but also can't imagine a slip on. First impression was wow these don't have alot of padding compared to what I was used to (it's been a while since my bulky Ellingtons, but they a ton of room, easy fit. Very lightweight. Looks good. Flick was very easy to understand and good feel. I think these are a perfect mid ground skate shoe with a minimal lightweight feel and look, but don't hurt the feet. Swift is a perfect name for these.
