Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was a game that introduced a more edgier counterpart to our favorite blue hedgehog. Shadow rivaled Sonic in almost every aspect... But one difference between the two was obvious: One preferred running, while the other preferred skating... errrr - if you want to call it that. Honestly, Shadow's shoes are kind of absurd when you break it down. And hey, that's exactly what we're doing in this video! Join me as we talk about why Shadow's shoes are absolutely ridiculous and how they work!

Admit it literally most people would want shadow’s shoes in real life
I sure do, screw traffic
Of course!
as long as the shoes actually look like they do in the games, instead of a company just making red and black adidas and saying it's "shadow's shoes" i'll be more than cool with that
Yeah still do. I want to hover skate at 50-100 miles per hour down a highway with no consequence.
I want a pair.
The only thing I'd mention is the shoes have rings around the ankles, similarly to the "inhibitor" rings shadow has on his body. I'd assume the shoes actually use shadows own chaos energy specifically, because he's seen to go kind of out of control when he loses the inhibitor rings.
yeah idk why he forgot that part. Since the inhibitor rings regulate and control his power, it makes sense that he's using the inhibitors on his ankles to output a steady amount of energy through the jet ports. Also, in Sonic Rivals, Shadow activates a device for Sonic by lighting it up with a chaos attack that looks like fire. So it's realistic for chaos energy to have a flame-like form as well
@Jonathan Wall wym 'heard' >_> unless it's official everything (including all our thoughts as well) are just speculation/opinion sadly
@Jonathan Wall lmao
Jonathan Wall But that's fan-made. Not official.
@@Rukathesoldier r/woosh
Too much science into a game series that literally has floating platforms with no supports.
wouldn't have it any other way
Exactly
Or TALKING animals or floating rings or animals that control robots. Lmao this analysis is pointless
Well, a lot of platformers have floating platforms
Unlucky Form that’s not the point
This whole video wouldn't need to exist if you just remembered that Shadow can use Chaos energy. His own body powers the darn things.
Okay but i didnt know that
He is basically a walking chaos emerald. Chaos Snap (no emerald Chaos control) is one of the most clear examples and oppressive tools at Shadow's disposal.
@@AshKetchum442 Being an artificially engineered military weapon his body is a natural vessel for chaos energy
Also the shoes don't need forces to push forward he push forward with his body thst why he running and pushing forward. It just something to help.
Thats some powerfull feet
I always wanted Shadow's shoes when I was a kid. Good to see a Shadow video on Hedgeho- Er, I mean, Groundhog Day!
Hi, Charriii
Fangirled because nobody else did
Hi Charriii5! Your an awesome friend of Nathaniel Bandy!
Me too. I used to pretend i had them when i walked. But that looked weird and people gave me funny looks.
Heeyyyyy chari
Well he has a ring on his shoes
“I peed on your wife, Robotnik. She’s mine now, that’s the law.” - Shadow the Hedgehog, 2019
*Top 10 anime plot twist's*
Actually he said it in 2018. The video that quote comes from is from last year.
OOF -roblox-
"I'm going to go even higher! I'M PISSING ON THE M O O N !"
“He pissed on my fucking wife, and he said it was *this big*”
I think the power source is very easy. We know that Shadow's own power is very unstable, those rings on his gloves and shoes being power limiters. What if those limiters constantly absorb his energy in small amounts and use that to power his shoes?
Then explain when he puts them off?
@@kilato9649 You mean when he *takes* them off? Simple, his shoes don't work and he just slides forward on his own power.
@@HunhowsShadowStalker I personally think his Black arms DNA makes the shoes work on there own.
I think the method of propulsion is pretty simple. When the soles are facing the ground, they provide lift, and when they’re facing backward, the provide a forward thrust in the direction that shadow is facing, which is why he needs to constantly alternate between one foot being “on the ground” and the other pushing back. When shadow turns, he uses the foot on the ground to provide a vector of force slightly backward in order to decelerate in his current direction and accelerate in a new direction, which averages to a slight change in the direction of motion. So they really are just rocket shoes.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Shadow's inhibitor rings. The rings he wears around his wrists and ankles store his power, so he isn't constantly outputting huge amounts of energy. I think Shadow simply outputs chaos energy through his shoes to get a "skate" effect. Because his rings control the power output, he can achieve a steady lift. Also, we see Shadow use chaos energy that looks like fire (in Rivals), so we know chaos energy can look like this
Nice catch! I'm also surprised he didn't touch on how you can hover in midair while shooting in Shadow the Hedgehog.
@@Magibatproductions oh, I honestly forgot about that one. Also some of the Sonic Battle descriptions for Shadow say that he uses the power of his shoes to preform attacks. And in the game, they even let him do a super jump. So for that to be possible, he needs to be able to regulate and control his shoes at will
@@gamejitzu still say I WILL HAVE THOSE SHOES ONE DAY!
@@blindedjourneyman First you must get seven chaos emeralds.
I'm still figuring out how Tails has two tails and can fly without twisting his tails.
Or how Sonic runs fast but his center of mass shouldn't let him. Or how can he navigate when he spins.
Or how Knuckles can glide. Does his hair function like a glider?
Also how do they store objects like Chaos Emeralds? They just pop out from behind. But where from behind?
Also Robotnik. How can those skinny legs support his fat body?
They probably run on angst.
Devoran or EDGE.😎😎😎⚡⚡⚡
Violet thebat too much edge for them to handle
Edginess driven engines... In totally down with that 👍👍👍
IFINITE POWER
2 words chaos control
The power source likely comes from Shadow himself.
I just want to know how Sonic can run around with his shoes never getting torn up or worn out or anything like that.
In the Archie comics Uncle Chuck custom-made them to withstand Sonic’s speed
Dare I say Shadow has...
Pumped up kicks.
Stop, get some help
Better run, better run, outrun my gun.
@@cloudthief8918 no u
Olive YTP OW THE EDGE!-😎😎😎💯😂😂😂😂😂
Kugelblitz I could
In a way, I think shadows shoes are connected to him, not literally.
Shadow is the only person with these shoes, and knowing his chaos controln is not bad to assume that shadow controls the shoes power inputs, which can effect the shoes output. If he can exert chaos power to specific regions of his feet to cause an programmable input, like charging chaotic power in a toe as an imput to adjust the gravity setting.
this is simply digital electronics, but to better explain it lets sat i have a box with five buttons and a charger. The imput of a button pressure can cause a 1 or 0 reading indicating off or on, and depending on the circuitry and Device can affect the output. the carger gives the entire device power.
what im trying to say is what if shadows exerts power in the "palm" of his feet, but his shoes are programed to be adjusted by small clicks of chaotic power occurring in various other parts of his feet
IN OTHER WORDS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS, you dont need a super computer if shadow could manualy exert energy in a presice location, you just nee good wiring or a great motherboard.
yes I am aware how much this sounds like a fan fiction.
*control*
What you are trying to say is that the shoes are basically working with logic gates, I disagree because in practice these types of controls just wouldn't hold up it would require Shadow to do these incredible calculations on the fly, assuming that he can just do this amount of chaos control that it's as easy as pushing a button.
The only way that this would not be unstable for Shadow is if Chaos had a type of physics that would alleviate the difficulty of the control and leave some of the logic to work automatically (I say this because electronics is just taking advantage of the physics of electricity if chaos is an energy that works on physics different from voltage those physics could be taken advantage of), and improving upon your idea this could be possibly leaving shadow with some ability to control the chaos for certain outcomes and to override the logic, which I think would be cool to dive into and supports the theory that Black doom at this point is a chaos scientist.
MAK3X7 Jesus Christ why so long text
@@benjaminsmith8377
Actually, both Sonic and Shadow being able to make calculations on the fly isn't that far fetched.
They both run faster than the speed of sound meaning their brains have to constantly and at an extremely rapid pace, it would be impossible for the two of them to handle their speed simply bc their brains would never be able to process the information.
@@dzaster7008 This is a very valid point that you have made, and I don't really have a good counter point because biology isn't my field, electronics is... despite that I think their is a difference to reactions and active thoughts, kinda like how you don't think about moving your hand away from a flame, but I think you have a valid point and i'm just not smart enough to comprehend it fully because I've seen many other things this is seen in like the flash in DC supposedly said the batcomputer was slow.
Consider friction charging? It could explain the skate motion
shadows shoes don't actually start hovering until shadow is up to speed so maybe they could just be converting wind into force and since they seem to work like skates or roller blades it would be easy to keep him in motion.
it's not really canon to the games, but in Sonic X, as I recall, Sonic got a pair of similar shoes made by Tails which allowed him to float on the surface of the ocean
@Non-Ugandan Knuckles well in the comics almost everything is canon
Non-Ugandan Knuckles not everything, boom isn’t canon
@@impulse5674 They said almost -.-
um sonic had shoes similar to shadow's in SA2
Actually they were made by Chris, but yes you are correct
I think that the idea of a hedgehog wearing shoes in itself is very absurd.
You mean without cuz that just weird
It would be fine if they weren't running so fast.
Don't worry, it's not real.
"The shoes on this humanoid hedgehog don't make any sense"
Loooooool my guy actually made a whole video on Shadow's shoes😂👌

@@rynobehnke8289 * Of course they do...
@@youtubeisgarbage3064 Thanks for correcting me.
but mephiles doesn't have feet
@@loriasui5188 lol
I personnaly think that the power of his shoes come from his innibitor rings just above his shoes ( the ones in his hand for his personal body and the other on his feet for his shoes ) sorry for the english I'm french
Originally I didn’t like Shadow just because I thought his shoes looked stupid XD (8 years ago when the wii was a thing) now I think he’s cooler than Sonic
dont diss his kicks
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof MY BALS
Maybe he doesn't have any feet inside his shoes it possible his shoes are his feet
I hate it thanks
Pffft. He IS an experiment, after all
*minds blown*
Yeah, so he controls the little jets with his brain
The energy could come from a chili dog
Holy shit, he's part cyborg!
10yo me: "I love shadow, he's really edgy and cool"
Me now: "Yo wtf, he has a gun?"
don't worry, Avatar the bird has a gun as well.
For some reason, when I was a kid and playing these games, I always thought that the shoes were powered by the rings that are on his ankles and wrists. Then again, I'm not too sure if those are rings or just some sort of decoration. Chaos energy would probably make more sense...
those rings and inhibitor rings, and i think they let shadow control his own power and become stable
without those rings, shadow would have unstable power
@@McNooby142 isn’t just the rings on his wrist tho? They never talk about or take off the ankle one so I just assumed it was for style lol
He’s so edgy he has guns on his feet’s like bayonetta
First comment
"Never installed guns on my jet shoes.But for fiery kicks and mini flamethrowers,yes."
Bayonettas edgy?
Internet logic is flawed.
Lol
Shadow isn't edgy he's just badass
5 bucks says Matpat's next Sonic theory is going to be on this. Watch out Swanky.
Swanky could copyright-strike Matpat. He deserves it with his clickbait content nowadays
@@stepexgd6628 But he has to draw in the stupid 9 year olds with his clickbaity thumbnails!
Does he have to? Nah, he could do better. Take SwankyBox as an example
Why are you guys so upset at MatPat? I've heard all the drama going on, but I don't understand the animosity that so many have against him due to those actions. Clickbait is literally all over this website, and it's never been an egregious offense, and he didn't source that one game, that sucks okay, but he apologized and moved on, regardless of reason, if he does from now on, I don't see any further issue. Copying videos, I highly doubt, even if you don't like all of them it's clear that he and his team put a lot of effort into finding the resources that go into his videos, and why would he copy others when he pays people to help him come up with and research so many different topics.
If you have a legitimate reason to dislike him please let me know. I couldnt care less about him personally, I just think it's a bit unfair. It's mostly people attacking him because he's popular.
All of Mat's Sonic theories are just calculations and numbers. He doesn't bother to dig into the actual games (closest he comes to that is looking at sprites), and for a theory like this you have to look in some obscure places for _any_ info possible. But at the same time Swanky didn't do any digging at all in this video, but at least he might get ideas on where to look compared to Mat
Honestly, the answer to the energy question is probably answered with chaos drive technology. Gerald created Chaos Drives based on his research on the emeralds during Project: Shadow. Wouldn't surprise me if one of those green glowsticks was embedded into each shoe.
Or it could be running right off of shadows chaos energy.
I'm certain other people would use those shoes if they could...
If the shoes and Shadow can tap into chaos energy, maybe Shadow is able to control the shoes' output. So he can make all those adjustments himself, not unlike how you'd adjust yourself walking or running over uneven terrain.
I don't know how those shoes work
But I know I want them
verry likly rocket engines because jet engines would need to spin rediculesly fast and the tips would reach mach1 wirch would destroy them and the flight logic would just be a simple fpga
Me too!!!
This topic is so absurd, not even MatPat bothered to cover it
MatPat’s too busy talking about Fnaf and other stupid stuff
@@acidicali7776 I was pointing more towards the obvious theories of his, Like the hookshot ripping off links arm etc.
But hey,
Arturo Torres Sánchez THATS JUST A GAME THEORY OOOOOOO
They're attached to/are is feet, power sorce, shadow chaos energy, balancing system, shadows brain
Honestly I thought he just had powers that were being absorbed by his shoes and then let out by his skates.
I remember liking Sonic Adventure 2: Battle specifically because how cool it looked when Shadow skated at high speeds.
You’re questioning how some shoes would work even though that is the same universe where a hedgehog runs faster than Mach 1
@Non-Ugandan Knuckles well said knuckles
@Riley Cooper Its not about to make this world (his world :p) explicable, but to SEARCH this explanation. That's how the human brain develops
The sequel to "why Mario's mustache sucks"
I actually agree..
Waluigi has a better one
You know honestly as a kid I always just figured that he in the shoes were one part, kind of like a biomechanical thing
I think air pressure could push him base don the way he angles his feet.
He uses those shoes to help him quickly piss in all the hot topics in the world
And on Robotnik's wife.
NoelistAvenger Where he said said that lol?
I'm illiterate when it comes to sonic fandom things
Someone care to explain?
Not just hot topic, but the whole fucking world
@@ruefysh9576 it's based on Snapcube sonic game dubs plz watch em they are really good
6:00 "E-102 Gamma"
You mean E-123 Omega?
Being a physics nerd I always wondered how his shoes actually work even if they’re fictional,you explained it really well. Would love it if someone build these one day.
HACKSMITH INTENSIFIES
0:27 Shadow still thinking about Eggman's Call-Out Post on Twitter.
"Damn, I dont care if my shoes are edgy i just want to leak on those hot topics over there." - Shadow teh edgehog.
A sign of power if you will.
I always wanted someone to make a video about his crazy shoes.
Plot twist, those are actually his feet
"They're air shoes"😒
let's talk about how their noodle limbs support their weight under high g forces or even have sufficient muscular contractions to locomote at all. they can't. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
>doom had a hand in shadow's shoe design
wait so..if we go by that does that mean they're jet powered heelies enhanced by alien technology? alien jet powered heelies? the more i watch this the more the term 'jet powered heelies' gets more complicated
7:45 "can react to position changes instantly"
Literally moving at 1 frame per second
"he would skate in the floor like ice" literally sonic heroes-physics
Maybe you could've also mentioned the Inhibitor Rings on his shoes as well?
i heard shadow's mom is the ARK
Imagine needing shoes to run fast
This post was made by the sonic gang
umm....you do forget that Sonic needs to collect the power shoes item to accelerate.
just imagine how loud would these things be. I see exaust points, meaning there is some sort of cooling inside. also metal parts would clank loudly every step.
also, Shadow is a powersource. the only thing probably needed is a way to channel force in direction, hence jetports. he himself controls output. This is why he has inhibitor-like rings on his shoes.
So.. Shadow's shoes are more advanced than he is..?
@@user-dx8ci9kv8u I love you.
Do you know who Shingles The Hugelog? No? Then I recomend you to watch Peter Knetter.
I always thought they draw power from shadow like badniks draw power from animals. These two inventions are made from two generation of robotnik after all, and they have similar inventions.
Shadow Shoes(according to Sonic Battle) they are called Air shoes that let him fly(which he only used them once in SA2 then fan games sometimes use that mechanic). They also let him skate.
He’s wearing wheelies
ONG FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THIS.
yeah but the part about needing a super computer is kinda redicules tje flight logic can just be an easy pid loop
Man, that reload animation is the best part 0:40
3:58 So the breathing in space thing is completely normal but not his shoes?
I don't think the creators of Shadow put any thought into how the shoes work. xD hahaha
I find the Shadow character's story trying to hard too be edgy and cool, especially with the literal assult weaponry involved. However, I find the Hedgehog himself facinating, and I never thought about the propulsion logistics of his shoe design before. Very clever!
Shadow's shoes are the ultimate life form..
Nah you just think that way because of his characteristic.
Eminem tries to be cool but isn't lol looking tough on cameras lol.
@@bowens9211 Eminem is pretty fucking cool wtf you talking bout lol
He's using Chaos energy of course
Shadow stores chaos energy in his body and I think this due to his inhibitor rings that when he takes them off releases the stored chaos energy from his body means that he is pretty much a walking talking chaos hedgehog so I think the shoes were getting power out of shadow and he can adjust how much power he gives the shoes
It's a video game. Of coarse its gonna be ridiculous.
Love you
1:09 Swanky: Without all the creepy roommate sonic stuff
Me: what the heck
The funny thing about Sonic though is his feet don't touch the ground. It's literally part of the sonic heroes song. But in the old American shoes they kinda back that notion. Sonic's uncle made those shoes he wears to keep his feet from touching the ground because Sonic use to burn up all his shoes and occasionally his feet because of the friction.
the shoes may get charged from the kenetic energy of his movement as well. or at least that could be suplementing it
Turning the kinetic energy into energy to boost the shoes would mean fraction, which would result in Shadow slowing down. Or you're talking about another way of converting kinetic energy.
@@stepexgd6628 well when he is walking or something would they not be touching the ground for that?
He is rarely walking during gameplay, do you think that's enough kinetic energy?
Also, kinetic energy from walking?
Also, once again... How would he convert the energy?
@@stepexgd6628 maybe something in the shoes do it? its just a thought off the top of my head. and sure during gameplay he doesnt but then again offscreen he could. since you cant imagin he is running all the time all over the place granted its just an off thought
I don't think he charges his boots with kinetic energy
Could you cover the Plot Hole of Sonic Adventure 2 with the ark and stuff?
Kid Flash khonjin already did that
I think the shoes harness his chaos energy, so they don’t need to charge.
I've actually been looking for a video like this thank you
This is the quickest I've clicked on one of your vids and I'm still late.
Obligatory "they're air shoes" comment
4:15 it’s centripetal force not centrifugal. Shadows velocity is what is keeping his momentum forward or else he’d be flattened into the loop
There’s giant supersonic speed hedgehogs and he’s worried about the shoes
Easy explanation
*Chaos Emeralds*
They’re air shoes
Tails: Heh, I like this one. Brandon Santiago asks: To Shadow, if you're the Ultimate Life Form, how come you need your Rocket Shoes to run fast while Sonic _doesn't?_ Hmm?
Eggman: Oooooh, he's going right in with that one, isn't he?
Sonic: [snicker] Yeah Shadow, why do you need Rocket Shoes to run fast?
Shadow: What a presumptuous question from this "Brandon" person. I'm just fast _because_ of my Rocket Shoes, Brandon? _I'm the Ultimate Life Form,_ and you would be wise to *RESPECT MY POWER!*
Eggman: Oh, he's actually getting a little angry.
Tails: Do you think he's upset because it's _maybe_ a little true?
Shadow: NO! IT'S _NOT_ TRUE! Tails, you couldn't even come close to beating me if you tried. [starts glowing red] Especially if-
Sonic: Guys, why is Shadow glowing red?
Shadow: Especially, if I-
Eggman: AH, I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE!
Shadow: Chaos...
Sonic, Tails and Eggman: [Scream]
Shadow: *_BLAST!_* [activates Chaos Blast]
Sonic, Tails and Eggman: [Screams]
4:38 I’m glad I’m not the only one who always goes directly into that wall after the loop
well, with sonic prime, they're actually called 'Air Shoes.' not skate shoes, but Air shoes.
AND YES. SONIC PRIME IS CANON. ITS BEEN SAID SO MANY TIMES.
so Tails truly does hate chilli dogs.
They’re JET BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!✨✨✨✨✨
I know everybody else say it is connected to Shadow's inner Chaos energy, but that doesn't explain how other characters can use similar hover shoes in Sonic Riders. I remember being able to use them instead of a hoverboard in the game if I wanted, and they literally make the character skate like Shadow.
1: for sonics case he also has chaos energy (he can go super and use chaos power)
2: sonic riders ain't canon💀
Maybe since he has rings on his shoes those are inhibitor rings and they are storing the energy so chaos energy could power the shoes
They're air shoes.
Your description of centrifugal force is rather odd. I’m not certain if you were just trying to give a layman’s description or what, but centrifugal force isn’t what we in the physics community consider a “real” force. It’s useful to think of things from a fixed reference point to make math and conceptualization easier and that’s where we get fake forces such as centrifugal force. The reality is that the only force applied to you when taking a loop is the normal force of the ground pressing back against your attempt to move through it. Because the ground is not directly perpendicular to the direction of your motion you are being accelerated tangentially to the curve. (I believe this is where you got your description, even though the arrows in the drawing are pointing perpendicular to the curve, which is why your explanation seemed confusing).
Don’t mean to be a dick. Just trying to help you out for future things.
I always thought they were somewhat similar to Sonic's soap shoes, except its a extremely well lubricated rubber on the tip, allowing him to skate but having normal shoe soles near the mid-back to allow normal walking as well.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about Shadow's shoes and a lot of details of Sonic lore for a fanfiction I've been working on for the past year. My headcanon is that Shadow's shoes aren't really shoes. Instead, he's a cyborg and they're just a mechanical part if his body. This solves all of the maths problems because it means that he can control all of the power output the same way he controls his hands, all it takes to for the more complex stuff is muscle memory. What are they powered on? Shadow's life force, which is a big part of why he needs the inhibitor rings, so he doesn't put out more energy than necessary and pass out mid fight.
*The edgiest shoes everr*
From what I remember from the games, cartoons, and other sources such as wikis, the Air Shoes (not sure why you had trouble when that's their name...) run on Shadow's own energy. IIRC, he did use Chaos Energy to help power it up, go faster, and keep it from taking up too much of his energy/stamina.
I believe air shoes was just the power up for light dash?
@@Xerophlume Shadow has Air Shoes from the very start and Sonic doesn't have Air Shoes and can still perform that action. (Granted, in some games, Sonic does need an upgrade to do so like in SA1.)
I think the shoes are like an air hockey table.
My headcanon is that since he is able to emit chaos energy, thats what makes his shoes float
Swampsy fox attempts to explain edgy sonic’s hover shoes
Bruh, Shadow ain't real.
Nice observation Shirley
Yes he is
Shadow is definitely real and he lives in my house.
Lizard Life oh hell youre right can I meet him I’m such a fan
@@biohazard9780 no he doesn't. It said on the news he's off planet for a while
I always thought the shoes were powered by kinetic energy. Think about it: they only activate when he builds up enough speed via running or his body being boosted, and they don't really propel him into the air like rockets because he's only running, so the shoes can only output the same amount of energy they take in. It makes total sense from my point of view, lemme know your guys's thoughts on my theory
The fact the shoes could make him fly and its never used again
