Asics, Brooks, and New Balance are the most recommended shoes for actual comfort. Comfort while walking? Yes. Comfort while running? Yes. Comfort while working a 12 hour shift on your feet? Yes.
@@venod3134 true. Skechers is like my first "expensive" shoe. Never regretted it. Way cheaper than overrated brands. Bought the go walk series. I also have an adidas z2k boost rn but still the go walk feels much more comfortable
New balance built a reputation on quality in the 80’s but dropped significantly after going fashion over function, I was deep in the game, managing footwear sporting goods departments, I remember the solid runners, ASICS Brooks, Hershey, New Baalnce, Mizuno, Saucony, and more were all good running shoe companies, as they gear more towards fashion, their quality dropped significantly, even the retros are built cheaply because they don’t have to perform they are just for fashion, ASICS hasn’t dropped yet but I can see the signs, and it isnt good……I’m going after the Gel Kayano 31 (for performance) before they are sold out you can keep the far inferior gel Kayano 14 for fashion…….
ASICS has been on fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 the last three years. Slowly building momentum. Not only killing it in their running shoes, but also with their Onitsuka Tiger sub brand ans their street fashion line up has only gotten better and better. Such a quality and underrated brand. And more people should know its history and how important its been to sneaker culture. It is one of THE original sneaker brands. And Nike started out as an agent for Asics/Onitsuka Tiger. Importing their shoes to the US. Its likely that no Asics.....no Nime. Its a legendary brand.
Got to love Asics and glad that there is a growing appreciation of the brand and the Gel-NYC. Still loving my GLIII KITH's Salmon Toe 1.0 and Afew 'Red Koi'! 🔥
I personally own and love Sean Wotherspoon's and Kith's Super Gold Gel-Lyte IIIs. I also have the Gel-NYC Bodega Collab featured in this video! I have an appreciation for this Japanese brand and its Onitsuka Tiger counterpart (just bought two Nippon Made Mexico 66s on my recent Japan trip). Glad to see ASICS getting more attention!
Big fan of asics and the gel-nimbus and novablast, not a big fan of their retro sneakers like 2160, 1130, and keyanyo 14. Once I started wearing running shoes and comfier shoes you start to realize how uncomfortable even some of these "comfortable" retro shoes are. Good video!!
One of my favorite and in my opinion of the best shoe companies available right now! Such a great combination of style, comfort, and versatility. So glad they’re getting pushed more into the forefront of fashion similar to how Newbalance has taken off these past few years.
Finally, an ASICS feature While maybe not your first or second choice, when thinking about sneakers, eventually people come around and try the brand out and then fall in love. ASICS gel nimbus 9 is my jam! Fairly available. Run 1/2-1 full size small. Has some nice collabs w/ Braindead, Wind and Sea, and more.
I’m thankful for being introduced to all kinds of shoes working at DSG in the footwear department. I literally tried on every single pair of shoes that we had in stock so I can recommend other styles to customers that they hadn’t tried before. ASICS was one of the most sold brands because of their history and comfort.
100% I bought 3 pairs this year. 1 for trail running and hiking, I hiked 100s of KMs on these babies and theyre the best trail runners ive ever worn. 1 for gym/casual they look good as hell, and the JApan S for walking and casual they are amazing
I've been working for ASICS for two years and it just reminds of the time I worked for New Balance and seeing people get hyped up for the brand now it's all deja vu people asking me for Kayano 14 or 1130 in a way it does irritate me because now those same shoes sell out immediately on our website so it's hard for me to get my hands on colors I like but it is great to see ASICS get its time in the spotlight.
Asics def dope and hard sleepers. Love retro new age style runners. Thats what ultraboost still always a fav for looks and comfort specially the dna/ og cut.
I was rocking Ascis in 2010 out here in the uk.. they had the gel Lytes ages ago… they went out and only just coming back this year.. this isn’t a first lol
Thanks for doing something ASICS. About time peeps recognize them…now maybe big-up Saucony Acceptance is key re: you being a Hypebeast….you carry it better than others
I walk a lot at my job (3-5 miles per phone app) and my last 4 of 6 shoes have been ASICS! Got a pair of Adidas but they were no where near as comfortable and a new balance pair that was also really good.
First pair of Kayano 14’s arrived today from a Black Friday steal on Unheardof Brand. Got them for $90 and I’m pretty stoked to try them out. Also have the Gel NYC Bodegas you show in the video and they’re so beautiful and crazy comfy.
I've been on the Gel Lyte III hype train for over a decade. Got into running and the Novablast series has been my go-to running shoe for 3 years now. But recently expanded into the 1130 and Kayano 14s.
Gel Lyte III grails has got to be either from Ronnie Fieg or the guys from AFEW. My personal favourite is KOI 1.0. Also my personal most underappreciated "Orient Express" with 24Kilates.
Yess ready for ASICS in 2024...Loved the Bodega GEL-NYC release and was pleased to see the same Kayano 14 silhouette in the thumbnail that I've got in my collection! It's the poor man's Jjjjound variant IMO
Um asics trabuco max 2 is hands down one best asics I've ever had!! I'm a bigger guy so squishy soles is must on 8 hours on concrete! They look amazing as well!!!
@@Sabundy interesting man, didn't know that. I've a couple of Asics shoes and I like them more than New Balance tbh. Especially the Gel Pulse and Gel Quantum 360
I allways find Asics special. I have couple of models, and the only little issue was durability. All this hype began with the Kinsey 7 OG ... and now with the "father style look" every were Asics are the only how can fight with the NB
Finally asics get the recognition it deserves, not everything is jordans and nike
Why man..why lol 😢
Facts. I've moved on from nike. Their quality has gotten worse and their releases are so ass. I'm on that New Balance wave now
Same I used to like jordan n nike but when I found out about new balance and asics never looked back
Well said.....other brands exist for heaven's sake. Not everything needs to be Nike and Jordan all the time.
Asics just got under the 22/23 radar because of Jjjjounds Kayano 14s hype
Asics, Brooks, and New Balance are the most recommended shoes for actual comfort. Comfort while walking? Yes. Comfort while running? Yes. Comfort while working a 12 hour shift on your feet? Yes.
Saucony is up there too. And some premium Sketchers(no joke)
@@venod3134 true. Skechers is like my first "expensive" shoe. Never regretted it. Way cheaper than overrated brands. Bought the go walk series. I also have an adidas z2k boost rn but still the go walk feels much more comfortable
@@venod3134 hoka gang
I would put ASICS 3rd or 4th behind New Balance, Brooks, & Saucony
One of the only shoe companies that physio therapists recommend as they are actually healthy for your foot. Good to see them getting recognition
As a runner, I trust Asics
@@mdaddy9474Same and man they're tough as hell
What about new balances?
New balance built a reputation on quality in the 80’s but dropped significantly after going fashion over function, I was deep in the game, managing footwear sporting goods departments, I remember the solid runners, ASICS Brooks, Hershey, New Baalnce, Mizuno, Saucony, and more were all good running shoe companies, as they gear more towards fashion, their quality dropped significantly, even the retros are built cheaply because they don’t have to perform they are just for fashion, ASICS hasn’t dropped yet but I can see the signs, and it isnt good……I’m going after the Gel Kayano 31 (for performance) before they are sold out you can keep the far inferior gel Kayano 14 for fashion…….

Asics is killing it at the moment! The Kayano 14 is insanely beautiful ❤
So true....ASICS is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 these days
so glad the NYC's got some love, i was hoping to grab a GR colorway on a discount
My favourite Asics shoe is the Asics Gel Lyte lll x Up There "Kookaburra" collaboration

nah,, if i got more money id rather go asics and nb all the way other than nike
gel lyte V is my go to shoe, rockin 4 versions: leather, goretex, and couple standard
will asics gel kaynao 14 cream black ever restock ? hmmm price is too high
just got the ivory/clay gray pair of the NYC's at a local foot locker for around $65 and i love them! very versatile and comfortable
The ASIC GEL 1130s and KAYANO 14s is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Asics has always been my favorite, not just recently. From your top 10, I love 1130 the most!
The UP THERE Kookaburra Gel Lyte III is gorgeous. Just reviewed em a couple weeks back!
I got my some gel 3's from this video, their BF/CM sale is pretty good too!

Hi Seth, should i get Asic Gel Kayano 14 or New Balance 1906r?
What colorway is that gel kayano 14?
I've been thinking of copping a DS pair of Extra Butter GLV l, they released back in 2015? How do you think they'll hold up after 9yrs
where to buy that asics 3D sandal in the philippines?
what do you think about the asics gel sonoma 180?
thank you Seth for giving credits for this underrated brand
Yooo the Above the Clouds ASICS GT-2160 were in my opinion the number 1 you need to check em out it flew under everyone’s radar👀👀👀👀
Just ordered the Gel NYC❤️
The Obsidian Grey Gel Lyte III are my favorite
Will be getting a pair but is StockX reliable ? I’ve been getting most of mine from GOAT which I’m assuming is the same thing ?
What a crazy coincidence this video pops up. I just ordered the pair at 14:59 literally this morning. First pair of ASICS ever.
From where did you buy them?
The 3 HAL Studios collabs from this year needed a spot on the list IMO. Talk about comfort and quality

I am using novablast 4 my first asics. Been using nike n Adidas all the time. Love it everyday sneaker and walking, jogging too.
Loving the brown-green Gel-Quantum Kinetics but, so expensive... :(

Im so confused which one to pick, Gel-NYC or kayano 14? 😵💫
@@abdullahkh8720 if you can get your hands on them definitely the Kayano 14
@@abdullahkh8720 if you're lucky to find them go for the 14s the NYCs are a good alternative tho.
Great video! My favorite Gel Lyte III is actually a gr, the Dragon fruit colorway 🔥
just copped the 2160 silver/putty color way DOPE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Which one of these sneakers gives the comfort of the vomero 5?
Lol it’s crazy how people use to talk mess about me rocking asics in highschool and now they wanna get on the wave 😂
I used to roast my teacher about Asics. Now, I'm wearing Asics.
What colorway of the 1130’s does seth have??
you should also cover the asics gel quantum kinetic. They have the most gel out of any asics sportstyle model I think
Asics so underrated…don’t sleep on em 🔥
How is acics comfy ? The quantum 7 180-360 are so uncomfortable while walking
What’s the model of the shoe on the thumbnail?
Asics def dope and hard sleepers. Love retro new age style runners. Thats what ultraboost still always a fav for looks and comfort specially the dna/ og cut.
Why I am crazy about sneakers seriously don’t know but very soon I am going to grab one of these 🌹❤️
I was rocking Ascis in 2010 out here in the uk.. they had the gel Lytes ages ago… they went out and only just coming back this year.. this isn’t a first lol
How can i order gel 14
Thanks for doing something ASICS. About time peeps recognize them…now maybe big-up Saucony
Acceptance is key re: you being a Hypebeast….you carry it better than others
I’ve been wearing acics since I started wrestling at about 11 years old and moved on to running shoes and I can tell you the quality is insane
Everyone late to the show , Feig been doing Asic Collabs for time.
Which ones are the ones in the thumbnail?
You must have and try Asics Gel Quantum 360 viii looks great and very comfortable!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I walk a lot at my job (3-5 miles per phone app) and my last 4 of 6 shoes have been ASICS! Got a pair of Adidas but they were no where near as comfortable and a new balance pair that was also really good.
Are they tts?
I just got some gel lyte iii ashrock cream colorway, such a dope shoe man I love them so much.
Asics and Onitsuka Tigers are ROCK.
Asics is Top notch for lifestyle and running.
Brooks makes amazing running shoes too, same as Saucony and Mizuno.
Definitely them bodegas are 🔥🔥 I got hit on them 🫡 and can’t wait for them pixel sock that I copped 🔥
Gel Lyte 5 Simply the Best✌👍💯
I think one of the best looking ASICS is the Gel Sonoma. I think they look absolutely clean as hell in person.
among the kayano, 1130, 2160 and gel nyc, which one is best for wide footers? thank you! -richie
1130 for sure
First pair of Kayano 14’s arrived today from a Black Friday steal on Unheardof Brand. Got them for $90 and I’m pretty stoked to try them out. Also have the Gel NYC Bodegas you show in the video and they’re so beautiful and crazy comfy.
Asics Gel Quantum Kinetic
i love the GL III orange Koi
Favorite GLIII has to be the KITH ECP Miami's or KITH Flamingos
I love Asics I wouldn't have made it through air assault school without my pair I'm glad they Are looking better with their designs
I really like the vibe of the 1130 but I don't think I can pull it off

gel nyc is unreal... i just keep buying all the colorways.. ridiculously comfortable, and the way they look... man...
Hate the fact that Philippines don't have any reliable asics outlets :/ Really wanna grab the Asics Gel Kayano 14
whats the id on the thumbnail?
Last time I wore Asics I had to return them to Zappos because they separated from the sole after a short period of time.
I like running shoes. 😊
Can we get a top 10 NB vid, please?
you gotta pick
been poppin in ausstralia for a decade
I want a pair of mita gl3s that red white and blue hits
asics is the most comfy
Asics needs to retro the gel spotlytes 🔥
Very few of their shoes are in larger sizes :( Tough for a size 15.
2160 Or 1130 Which One Is Best In Terms Of Comfort ?
For the Washington DC community, the one re-release the majority of folks are waiting on is the Gel Epirus (mustard), last in 2014
Joe La Puma got me into Asics when I saw him on Complex rockin some Asics Gel Kayano 5 Vivienne Westwood collabs. Friggin dope!
Asics are actually popular as a fit-shoe for years now in west Europe, especially in France.
ASICS is actually the best selling running brand in Europe. More than Nike and Adidas
