So stoked on these. I have a pair that are suppose to show up on my doorstep tomorrow. The black, red, and white color scheme. I’ve been skating nothing but éS for a while now and will probably keep on skating them (the Evant and Silo SC). Love me some late 90’s/early 00’s throwback style.
I don't know if you love the N or not but it's truly not just a dad shoe. Has been huge in the hip hop community since the 80's. It's a legend. I think of the mainstream company's New Balance makes the best skate shoes. Great flick and good durability.
Yea boii have a nice day everyone! I have the brown ones and the rare white ones with yellow/royal blue and gum outsole. Favorite shoe EVER so far, will keep skating it, better than the 1010's imo, more snug fit
Hell yeah been waiting on this review over the holidays. I think you might be tired of NB for now but they just released the NB Westgate 913's again and i think a review in those would be cool!
@@clintonswart6680 kinda, but a little less puffy and i think the CT IV had the tongue attached to the rest of the shoe. like one big puffy as hell sock. the RMS 4 weren't like that 🤣
@@Jesticles85your right i had the CT-4 .. they were built like tanks .. I didn’t like skating in them but def wore them around chilling .. I was an ‘es k1 or accel dude
$110 dollars! I just got these puppies for $27 new, from the on sale rack at zummies. Major steal . I loved the 308, ive had 4 or 5 pairs of them, today i got the 808 and already know they are gonna be part of the line up from now on. Comfort, look, stability, idk if the grip will be like the 308s but we will soon find out.
Globe and the New Balance of skateboarding to be capable in a different patterns and colors designed to keeping the shape of a better skate shoes! My birthday is on Wednesday!
This shoe looks great for impact and landing primo, and I would probably be more willing to skate that than the 480’s lol. I bought those reynolds shoes in white with the black cupsole and I was like “yeah I’m not skating this”. I also bought the non skate version and I had to get a size 8. When the beefier skating ones came in a size 9 I thought they looked too big to fit me, but all the padding inside made up for that. Kinda. I also had to put the shoelace through the last loop from outside to inside so the knot would be closer to the tongue and hold it down better. It did the trick in the end. But the leather looks so premium I’m not gonna destroy the shoe with my mobbed ollies lol. I kinda wish you’d cut some new balances in half straight down the middle. Like with a bandsaw lol. So we can see that yellow stuff inside and how it runs along the inside of that cupsole. I love shoe cutting videos kinda like rose anvil does. Btw I’ve been skating your laces in a pair of nike chrons and they are definitely kevlar, but they look like the strands are more dense than most of the skinny kevlar laces on the market. I know it’s a type of carbon fiber like material because it feels cold to the touch like metal. I had a cf guitar and the panels were made by vacuuming out the epoxy in a bag, so when you touched the guitar it was always cold and of course it was 99% carbon fiber instead of epoxy resin.
I just got the black suede and ice blue gum on sale 70$ excited to skate them but first I’ll be using them as gym shoes for a week 😅 I do Oly lifting so I’m sure they’ll break in after a week of squats at 400+ lbs and heavy cleans 👌
Update I like the way they skate early on better than the the 1010, however once the 1010 is broken in it’s better all around in my opinion and the lasts longer. The 808 once torn up from flip tricks looks like a pealing baked potato lol idk man I think I’m just going to stick with Tyshawn adidas 🙌 little to no breaking in time good board feel and arch protection for the inevitable premo lol
YO!! Thank you for such content! Most of your videos help me decide which shoes to buy online and the shoe is exactly what you said it is. I was wondering if you have time to test and review the Jack Curtin 288s (white), I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
Unfortunately the middle of my foot is way too wide for these. I bought them a month ago at my true size in 99% of shoes and have skated them everyday and the middle of my foot is always spilling over the sole, which is painful because the edge of the sole is really ridgid and just digs into the sides of my foot. The toebox in comparison is actually fine and not too narrow like a lot of people say. It just isn't especially wide and spacious but the toe does break in and widen. It's just the back half of the shoe which has these hard plastic supports around the sole which hurt if your foot isn't narrow enough to stay within the bounds.
@@christianflores i'm at a month of skating them almost every day. They are still strong and not worn through but i still can't keep going more than 30 minutes for a sesh unless i kick them off and let my feet breathe. these would be so perfect with the arch of the shoe being a bit wider.
the price is steep but they are quality , I just can't get over the new balance look they look like 80s retro shoes still , new balance forever dad shoes
Not in that colour way but I'd be interested if they didn't look like they have a narrow toe box, like the DC Lynx. Too uncomfortable if you've got wide feet probably.
I get it, you don’t like the “N”, but since NB entered the skating game I think they are #2 behind adidas as far as skate shoes! AND I LIKE THE “N”, but to each his own
Hey man I love your videos! I was wondering what size you bought the 808s in, and what is your foot's length, along with what other sizes you usually wear for other brands other than nb as well. Also, do you know if the sizing of the 1010's are compatible with the 808's as in how each shoe fits according to one size? (I found a 9.5 US 808 with a more tight fit compared to a 9.5 1010) I know this is a lot, but your help is very very appreciated! Sending love from Canada! Peace✌
@@Owjdnskoakansbskk I appreciate it man! I'll refer back to this comment some day when I decide to buy nike sb😅 had to switch my 9.5 nb 808s for a 10, they oddly run a little smaller.
@@samsedghi5791 i didn't really feel that personally. The toe of the shoe is way too long if i go up just a half size. It's just the back half of the shoe is really narrow. If you have a fatter heel on your foot and less arch, these will hurt a lot at your true size and the back half of the shoe has hard plastic which doesn't break in.
@@spht9ng thanks for the input bro🙏 been skating a pair and i had my heel acctually slip out of the shoe to the point of the shoe completely coming off my foot while pushing when the laces were tied well...but tbh i like the way the shoe skates overall i was suprised to have board feel even when they were straight out of the box..but that might just be me
yeah I can't do it, I prefer the 1010. I mean, the 808 is awesome for stability, but the 1010 is WAY free-er, and only *slightly* less stable if the 1010 had ghillies and the special lacing system from the 808, they'd be perfect BUT, I will say...if you lace the 808 super tight, it's like a whole different shoe
I just got this shoe, i love its flick, @Almost bad at skateboarding, the only problem i have is that it has too much arch that hurts after abt 20 minutes of skating, great shoe otherwise
![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 26 วันนี้!! “คริสเตียน vs อาลิเบก”](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UlIiZ3t8nHQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Hands down my favorite shoe. After the 3rd session they broke in. My feet hardly gets injured anymore
Yeah they are pretty damn good. I really liked them.
They do but don’t break in but I’m sure that’s just so they never lose their impact protection completely like a lot of others do!
What do you mean with “break in”?
@@eusebiomanrike the shoes soften and conform to your foot and aren't stiff/uncomfortable like some shoes are when they're new
How's the fit compared to the 1010? I've heard the 808 are even narrower than them. May need to jump to that 10.5
I been skating these pretty consistently for about 3 months and still got some life in them
Man, love that the laces you made don’t rip but they are very slippery and don’t hold when I tie them very well, not a fan of having to double knot
So stoked on these. I have a pair that are suppose to show up on my doorstep tomorrow. The black, red, and white color scheme. I’ve been skating nothing but éS for a while now and will probably keep on skating them (the Evant and Silo SC). Love me some late 90’s/early 00’s throwback style.

The way you describe these reminds me of the Globe Rodney Mullen 4's that i had back in the day. In other words, i want these!
Hmmm never skated then. But if they are globe. I bet they were fat.
@@christianflores yeah, they were THICC lol
@@Jesticles85 globe ct ivs esk?

Please review the Lakai Essex! Really love the look of this vulc shoe.
Super good for heelflips fs I agree I like the half studio half out skateboarding style of video too. Killin it man
I had these they we're definitely one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever skated
Review the Etnies Estrella new shoe $120!
Just picked then up for 40, I'm stoked, especially being a 36 year old dad
Nice yeah I would want to skate a pair of them.
Do u recommend these more than 1010? Also no wonder Andrew switched to NB

Awesome. Thanks man! And yeah these definitely were a good one. I don’t have them anymore. I think I might had tore some apart before.
Keep makin these vids!
I will 👊
@Christian Flores how would you compare these to tyshawn mids?
Great video. I believe this is the shoe I am going to get. Great content.
Yeahhh that’s the one I was talking about.
@@christianflores 👍👍
@Christian Flores do you skate in an ankle brace?

How about those Axion Genesis mids?
I'd love to see a legit review of those
In over 20 years of skateboarding I've never seen someone sit on a skateboard like @1:32 I'm pretty impressed
Lol. I learned it from jimmy cao
I really didt like the shoes at the start but after i broke them in was a life changer
Can u do dc lynx zero plss

Thats so ganster that OG tiago got the model 808.
Very interesting truthful interview..you should have def takin them apart
I think I did. Lol
i hope i can still get some
The tightest bricks on my feet that I’ve ever worn. Had to offload them on eBay. So tight.
you should review the Etnies Estrellas?
808 vs 1010.
Which is better?
Do these have a removable insole??
the price is steep but they are quality , I just can't get over the new balance look they look like 80s retro shoes still , new balance forever dad shoes
Not in that colour way but I'd be interested if they didn't look like they have a narrow toe box, like the DC Lynx. Too uncomfortable if you've got wide feet probably.
Love me some wild looking dad shoes...
Hey Christian you should skate the NIKE Sb Adversary I think you will really like them
Would it be stupid to use these as normal shoes? Currently using and really old pair of vans.
they look sick with a loose fitting outfit. why not?
I get it, you don’t like the “N”, but since NB entered the skating game I think they are #2 behind adidas as far as skate shoes! AND I LIKE THE “N”, but to each his own
Are they better than the Nyjah 3s?
May i please have your old D3 shoes? 😢
Oh and you should do a review on the (C1rca 99Vulc shoe)

Yo you gotta do one on the etnies windrow vulc I think you'd also have an appreciation for the ones Andy rocks 🤣
Please review the Nike Sb orange lobster next
Please, Christian, do a ES EOS
Do they have better support in foot than sb dunks ?
Yes, and I enjoyed these so much that I listed my dunks for sale to buy another pair or two of these haha
yeah I can't do it, I prefer the 1010. I mean, the 808 is awesome for stability, but the 1010 is WAY free-er, and only *slightly* less stable
if the 1010 had ghillies and the special lacing system from the 808, they'd be perfect
BUT, I will say...if you lace the 808 super tight, it's like a whole different shoe
Did you go true to size?
No half size up definitely half size up, true to size is super snug unless you into that
yeh well you didnt mention board feel???
NB is very solid
if only they could give me the switch pop game of Tiago 😭😭😭
Please review the Lil Dre Forums!
Maybe. I’ll check them out.
I just got this shoe, i love its flick, @Almost bad at skateboarding, the only problem i have is that it has too much arch that hurts after abt 20 minutes of skating, great shoe otherwise
Better than his first shoe?
Do these shoes fit true to size??
I think so. But maybe try them on. I remember there’s a lot of padding
Cut em up!👍🏼
Maybe wind up a little more for that switch bs heel
Thx Christian
Welcome
Forget these shoes. I bought them thinking they'd be good for skating. But they squeeze your feet to death. I'll stick to my eS Accels.
The fact that shoe can get your foot to sleep means it must be REALLY comfortable
I'm sold
P.s. dad gear is a badge of honor
👏👏👏
Lol Tiago is finally getting his props! Fuck this guy talking . …. Macba high ledge … trick of the last ten .. all love jes!
I'm a dad and I wear Globes 🧐
Try microwaving new shoes to break them in. Old trick I heard about 10+ years ago..............
Hear me out bro
These bricks definately need a teardown. It made me curious. Don't forget to use a lightsaber or somehing. You might need it.
Lol. Maybe I’ll do thay.
That**
I always thought it was a z on the side of the shoe until i learned it was called 'New Balance'
Boo Johnson said best thing to do with new shoes is to put them in the microwave for 30sec don't tell your parents 😁
skate the ebay dunks
True to size?
Yeh. They fit snug but after you break them in they all good.
