I'm betting the sidewall is more flexible than the outsole, which is why it's harder to pop (the surface bends around the sharp object more). The outsole has to be more rigid to provide durability, so it's providing a firmer surface for a nail to punch through.
Don’t worry about the amount of subscribers that will come in time, the information you bring to this channel is so much more valuable. I’ve changed my perspective on shoes since watching your channel and I’m grateful for it. I’m putting my money into good quality shoes, sneakers. These shoes brands should be ashamed of what they’re putting out to us and at these prices, which C, D grade material.
if you really want the hype stuff you can easily get them for below retail after a few months. What happens is the companies will ride a trend until it dies, then the prices start to drop. Saw a pair of Jordan 1s that is selling for $90 when it retails at $150
Seeing the new Nike world cup football/soccer superfly cleats cut in half would be interesting. First time they’re using zoom air since 2002 I believe.
Good video. Maybe glass shards would've been a good addition to the punktue test. Form bottles or drinking glass. That is the sharpest thing I see on the streets and sidewalk a lot.
That’s what I was hoping he would do, I was thinking of getting vapour maxes which are similar and I’m only realistically scared of stepping on glass, especially in Poland.
@@pubg-blsy3352 I watched another video of someone trying to puncture the vapor maxes. Almost impossible. Good air bubble. I have the 2021’s in white, and they are one of my fav pair of shoes besides air max plus tn’s or 97’s
I used these as a High School Basketball referee and I had them for 4 mos and they held up beautifully! No air bag issues and a LOT of questions and compliments! I was surprised at how much support they have as they have some resemblance of the failed experiment of the VaporMax. The rubber sole is very durable, and the air bladder is extremely firm and durable! There were days where I've done tournaments of 7 games in a day, and that will wear out anyone feet, but I had total comfort still with these Scorps! I did have the rubber soleon one of the bladders start to peel off, and I submitted a claim to Nike, 4 mos later and they issues me a full refund! I reordered the Black/Red Scorps and they are SEXY!
Ive pretty much only ever had airmax on my feet the last 20 years. Last bag failure i had was when i was at the grand canyon some years ago. When you buy air max's you must keep your receipt. I have claimed 3 pairs for warranty defects in 6 years. It takes a while for the process to go through but it does work & gives nike real life feedback on these outsoles.
I had the 95’s when I was in college. I worked at a night club as a valet. We had a burn barrel and an ember melted a hole in the airsole. Nike replaced them but with a pair of tge 96’s and totally different color. Took six months.
I have this shoes and I have a flat feet 🦶 and THIS SHOES 👟 IS AMAZING! Specially for long walk very comfortable and i don’t have any pain like use to have if others shoes ! It’s fabulous ❤❤❤
I think the air unit should have a backup foam inside the air unit so you're not left with a horrible shoe if it punctures. Back in the day kids would just pop the air unit on purpose because they were board.
My air max 2021 lost the air in the outside bubble. The internal bubble which is much better protected still holds the air - I honestly don't feel any difference when walking. Just slightly more lean when i'm trying to stand on my heel - but who ever does that besides testing shoes. So I guess the best idea would be having two separated air bubbles just like in Air Max 2021 - outside one for aesthetic purpose and protection with intenral bubble doing the real job.
Would LOVE to see you(Mr.Anvil)do one of these "cut-in-half and review"detailed styled videos on either the Nike Air Max Furyosa(w/double stacked Nike Zoom Unit)OR even the NEWER Nike Air Zoom Double Stacked..BOTH shoes have a MASSIVE Air/Zoom Unit in them..thanks man
Are the SD's made in Japan? Cause I think it would be interesting to see regular verses the NM (Nippon Made) version. I have the Tai Chi NM so would be interesting to see.
I always wonder about the choice to have it a single unit when no matter what the psi you end up with no air under the heel. Youd think a heel unit with a 270 pocket for the rest of the foot.
big difference between abrasive/scratch/larger pop resistance and needle/thumbtack/etc resistance, polymer is gonna be massively more resistant to larger gauge abrasions, even versus the rubber sole.
I’d like to see you cut the Alexander McQueen oversized Sneakers in half. Mainly to see if they’re worth the money & to see if what they say they use material wise is true.
If the air unit does puncture, is there a warranty from Nike? I mean $250 for a pair of sneakers that could last one outing. Stepping on a hot cigarette bud by accident or a piece of glass or a nail would be money down the drain. Not sure why these are called 'scorpion' if it has a sharp pointed tail.
The L.A Gear Lights from the 90s were the most over the top sneakers I remember from that time, as well as the worst sneaker ever to scape from muggers. Good times.
i am curious to see you cut in half some shoes from Moonstar/Shoes Like Pottery out of Japan. they advertise their shoes as having been made using a method to vulcanize rubber called “ka-ryu” where they’re heated in a kiln for over an hour. it’d be really interesting to see if there are measurable differences in how the rubber performs compared to other vulcanized shoes. would tune in here or on the second channel.
My vapor max on my right foot lost air pressure when I stepped on the edge of a walking path wrong. Now I can't rest full weight on it or walk with heavy steps otherwise it compresses flat. Still ok for casual minimal walking but definitely sucks considering I hadn't had them for maybe 4 months.
Same with my 270 it’s probably too late now but Nike will most probably exchange your shoe under guarantee. Still will never buy a shoe with an exposed air unit anymore
@@kaalihan1383 yeah I've had them waaaaay too long at this point but i will keep that in mind. Thanks for the info. Its definitely kept me from buying another pair. They're so comfortable but annoyingly fragile.
All my Air Max shoes have ONLY been popped by smallish sharp items, my most favorite ones of all are the Air Max 720 and they popped from a carpet tack while I was attempting to be a good nephew to my uncle and replace his living room carpeting, I'm so mad at my self cause I HAD my Work Boots, I choose not to put them on, I thought I'd not be popping my shoes that day!!!😢
11:44 - i don't think it's odd if you have any history with vapormax. People had their boots destroyed massively thanks to weak sidewall of the air system. Scorpions are for me nexty iteration of vapormaxes with some of the flaws corrected (just like weak side walls).
I love toasty!! I was watching Cats videos & led me to one of your videos where toasty was in It, and now I cant stop watching them, can you make one telling us witch cowboy boot Is the Best? Thanks you!!!
Railroad spike fell directly on shoe? Nah shoes fine. But what about a small individual thumbtack, well placed and centered on the air unit? *Yeahhh your shoes done.*
I’ve done a load of research on slippers (I’m disabled so that’s what I wear 99% of the time). And don’t laugh but Gumbies seem to be the top tip. Not only are they made from recycled materials but they seem to offer comfort and practicality.
You'd think that with a shoe like that they would reinforce the bottom better or have some kind of slow leak scenario going on (I'm not an engineer so who knows?!). Thumbtacks and nails are common things to encounter from the bottom while walking.
This is an effectively obsolete technology, so the durability of a product that is primarily an aesthetic gimmick isn't necessarily a high priority. That being said a layer of puncture resistant aramid cloth would have been pretty easy to laminate between the pad and the outsole.
here in Scotland its thorns that have popped my nike air. Trail running Nike Pegasus air popped within 2 weeks, Nike declined a replacement. As these Nikes in the video are novelty item there is no reason for them to pop if just wear around the house and pavements if you avoid woods
I would like to see you get a pair of Frank's Boot's for the MITUSA Contest. I believe the owner of Frank's worked for Nick's boot's but that maybe just a rumor.
Have you cut apart any of those early 2000s Nike Shox? Those things were everywhere! Hospitals, colleges, mail carriers, they were used by the biggest, most diverse group of people I can think of for a Nike shoe.
@@stevec2569 I did and didn't see it. I've seen almost all the other Nike air shoes but not the Shox. edit: just found it because I'm apparently blind, thank you!
The puncture tests were different because of the shape of the sidewall vs the foot. With the larger nail, obviously the force is more spread out, but the sidewall has more curvature to support the force better than the sole, where it's just flat. With the needle, it's sharp and concentrated enough that the extra support the sidewall geometry gives isn't actually doing anything
In my case, unfortunately, aesthetics matters little compared to functionality. I suffer from chronic, drug-resistant pain on both legs all the way down to the soles of my feet (I have a severe form of Multiple Sclerosis since 2002) and, after obviously testing different Brands over the years when I needed to change shoes, I recognized that the Nike Air Max that cushion the entire sole are the ones that help me suffer a little less when I have to walk (of course there are some models, depending on the collections of the different seasons, that for my pain "work" better than others). In time I also managed to test the Vapormax and 720, hence the confirmation that for my case the more air they put in, the more relief I have. It will be the feeling of "floating" that helps me in the one thing that is fundamental for me, to try to suffer less, then maybe it will not be the best for proper walking (I don't know eh, I speculate) but at the current point of my illness that is no longer cared for. Sorry for the long premise but I ask you...do you think the time will ever come when the price will drop a little and they will also be purchasable at more attainable prices? Forgive the silly question but I live in Italy and public health care is not like it used to be and more and more drugs are paid for, hence the reason for the question. Excuse my English, I am Italian-French.
Suggestion to save you a buck with the cutting. Stan Smith normal vs Stan Smith Luxe. Luxe is described as premium leather. But hey Wes you'll get 1M for sure, you are the exposer of badly made shoes. Which is important for ppl like me that values quality rather than hype.
I’ve had 4 pairs of Air Max Zephyrs which had a similar air sole & within a year all of them developed a pinhole leak along one of the seams. I’ll never buy anything resembling those soles again.
@@vizslabricks yeah reps im tired of having to spend 400 dollars just for a sick pair of shoes when good reps are the same quality anyway made by the same asian child worker for 100 bucks instead of 400
You dont pay only for the materials used and the labour, you also pay for the technology and research, design team and so on. They invested a lot of money to come up with this shoe, cant sell them without a profit. Same thing for cars. You think an Audi RS7 is worth 140K of parts? Its the money they have spent to develope that car
I've never had a pair of full soled airmax that didn't eventually go flat even when worn just to walk in and keep nice. Sometimes its years later but always happens. One exception may be my vapormax. 3 years strong now. That being said for 250 they should take alot.
Hopefully this isn’t problematic for your channel, dissect any yeezy season boot 1-7. I want to know if the season boots are made better than the adidas produced boots please and thank you.
Idk if $250 shoes pop but I bought Air Max 270’s in 2019 and after my 4th use I hopped out to go to the gas station during summertime and they popped. I was pissed. Maybe cuz I’m fat but I was still mad.
You should review the Jordan 5 Pure platinum. It retailed for $400 and supposedly uses only ultra-premium leather and other materials. I think it would be cool if you check ed them out to see if they were actually any good.
If you sit too close to fire the heat makes the air expand and pop the shoes, I've had them even pop in the heat locker at work. Airmax sux mate, I won't buy them anymore for those reasons
Hold up! If the Air Sole Unit is all one piece, how can you pop one part of it and not deflate the entire shoe? I have some Vapor Max and they have individual Air Sole units placed strategically on the bottom of the shoe. It's incredible and they're so light weight. My Air Max 90's are much heavier
@@appelscha23 I wouldn’t recommend airmax at all. They are too expensive and i really don’t like the look anymore. I would go for some Jordans, Dunks or Airforce’s…
Could you cut Philippe Model Temple and Alexander Mcqueen Oversized? They are over over used here in Western Europe and are considered ultra high quality sneakers and furthermore a status symbol (expecially the Alexander McQueen shoes)
The first costs 320-350€ but you can find them at 50% in certain occasions (I have paid 159€ for them), the second pair is never in sale and the minimum price you can find them is 450€
I wore a pair of 2090 walking for a month and when the traction went on the sole the bubble popped on both shoes just like if it were traction and rubbed away until there was a hole. 1 month, 4 miles per day on sidewalks. $160.00 shoe.
Dropping 100 pound railroad tie is a good test, but it is less impressive when you realize that many people are at or over 200 pounds, and can sometimes jump a fairly significant distance. Obviously expecting people over 250 pounds to be athletic is more of an edge case, but 200 pounds isn't that big.
The cost, pain and inconvenience from damaged joints more than justifies any price you can pay for a good running shoe. If you're working construction, you have to have steel in the toe. And if you're running a lot, you have to have shock absorption in the sole. Decades later, you might still have joint, ligament, and arthritis issues. Then you can tell your surgical team, "I bought the best quality running shoes I could afford."
I would be more worried to brake one of the shoe loops than puncture the air unit , ive done this ,forgot on which pair it was but when i tried to tighten the shoe and it just pops super easy without much effort and its a shame srsly. So much thinking in designing and then u cant even tighten ur shoes with a normal effort...think it was on one of my running pairs.
They don’t just pop after one use. I’m a vapormax guy and it takes about a year of hard use in the gym til one of those bubbles break. I was doing one hour sessions on stair climbers doing over 100 steps a minute. But once one of those things break they are done for.

Thats what i was thinking. Sidewall is stretchier, so its harder to pierce.
True, the part that makes the outsole more rigid is probably the rubber coating ontop

Hey Rose! Awesome content! would you be able to do a breakdown on the Asics EX89s and a comparison between the NB 550/650s?
I did had once. After they popped , they start to whistle and were not suitable for wearing. Not very practical but looks cool
the ball drop test is probably totally dependent on where it lands on the pocket, it looks like yours didn't land in an ideal spot
The puncture tests were different because of the shape of the sidewall vs the foot.
With the larger nail, obviously the force is more spread out, but the sidewall has more curvature to support the force better than the sole, where it's just flat.
With the needle, it's sharp and concentrated enough that the extra support the sidewall geometry gives isn't actually doing anything
Okay but those patches of tread on the bottom really don’t last long either, I doubt the balloon will last longer than 2 or 3 months with regular use
The sidewall is probably thicker to try to prevent rolling and side flex.

@@vizslabricks yeah reps im tired of having to spend 400 dollars just for a sick pair of shoes when good reps are the same quality anyway made by the same asian child worker for 100 bucks instead of 400

You dont pay only for the materials used and the labour, you also pay for the technology and research, design team and so on. They invested a lot of money to come up with this shoe, cant sell them without a profit. Same thing for cars. You think an Audi RS7 is worth 140K of parts? Its the money they have spent to develope that car
What is the point of doing experiments on the sole whilst the upper is still in fact? The upper will be taking on a lot of the absorption.
8:52 toasty is so cool, at least as much nike shoes ❤
I've never had a pair of full soled airmax that didn't eventually go flat even when worn just to walk in and keep nice. Sometimes its years later but always happens. One exception may be my vapormax. 3 years strong now. That being said for 250 they should take alot.
Why wouldn't you get out calipers to check the wall width size conparison to the bottom
He's gonna Steve Irwin himself with that knife someday. "Every time I do my boot laces up I'm staring death right in the eyes!"
Hopefully this isn’t problematic for your channel, dissect any yeezy season boot 1-7. I want to know if the season boots are made better than the adidas produced boots please and thank you.
I bought some last week. Had them 3 days, & popped them on a tiny piece of glass on the pavement while walking 5mins up to the shop!! 🇬🇧
Fill them up with Ribena and freeze it.
Idk if $250 shoes pop but I bought Air Max 270’s in 2019 and after my 4th use I hopped out to go to the gas station during summertime and they popped. I was pissed. Maybe cuz I’m fat but I was still mad.
Could you do a video on the J75 Decoy boots by Jump?
A Chelsea boot version with this technology and a Vibram 100 outsole would be so incredible for my spine....
Shoes for short kings
You should review the Jordan 5 Pure platinum. It retailed for $400 and supposedly uses only ultra-premium leather and other materials. I think it would be cool if you check ed them out to see if they were actually any good.
Imagine if Nike made an air unit shoe with a Goodyear welt. To resole would be $50-100 but it could be done?!? Practical or not?
If you sit too close to fire the heat makes the air expand and pop the shoes, I've had them even pop in the heat locker at work. Airmax sux mate, I won't buy them anymore for those reasons

GREAT SCOTT WESTON!
Where we're going we don't need puddles...
In Aussie we have prickles called goat heads, have two 10mm spikes on it, these shoes will be a goner
Hold up! If the Air Sole Unit is all one piece, how can you pop one part of it and not deflate the entire shoe? I have some Vapor Max and they have individual Air Sole units placed strategically on the bottom of the shoe. It's incredible and they're so light weight. My Air Max 90's are much heavier
Ordered a couple more kilties. I love the ones I have on my iron rangers
the underside of a lot of stairs can catch shoes by their exposed bits and tear. these look particularly vulnerable.
“He jumped around, didn’t really pop”
What does it didn’t really pop mean did it pop or not? What does really have to do that?
I had like normal 270 Airmax and they just popped after 2 years of wearing.
are these good if you want to be a little taller?
@@appelscha23 not really. More of the hight of AirForces. If you want something to look taller, buy the 720, i were like 4-5cm taller.
@@koniglp6473 thx for the advice. im 173cm and looking for something better than my old vans lol
@@appelscha23 I wouldn’t recommend airmax at all. They are too expensive and i really don’t like the look anymore. I would go for some Jordans, Dunks or Airforce’s…
@@koniglp6473 true, I can't get used to the bulky look of AM. but I like the extra height. maybe airforces then..
Nike air max -scorpion- blister..Adidas 4D/4DFWD, would be cool to chop in half. Very interesting manufacturing process to boot.
Yes yes yes
i bet a rebarb edge would pop it,, those rods are sharp as hell
If you want to pop these go to a wood chip playground the wood gets stuck and you walk and it pops really fast
Will there be an end of the year recap ? Shoe of the year by category?
Cut apart some clogs, I've always wondered how they are constructed
Could you cut Philippe Model Temple and Alexander Mcqueen Oversized? They are over over used here in Western Europe and are considered ultra high quality sneakers and furthermore a status symbol (expecially the Alexander McQueen shoes)
The first costs 320-350€ but you can find them at 50% in certain occasions (I have paid 159€ for them), the second pair is never in sale and the minimum price you can find them is 450€
My friend popped these on accident and tried to fix it with fix-a-flat and made a big mess, but they did send him a new pair under warranty.
😂
I wore a pair of 2090 walking for a month and when the traction went on the sole the bubble popped on both shoes just like if it were traction and rubbed away until there was a hole. 1 month, 4 miles per day on sidewalks. $160.00 shoe.
Dropping 100 pound railroad tie is a good test, but it is less impressive when you realize that many people are at or over 200 pounds, and can sometimes jump a fairly significant distance. Obviously expecting people over 250 pounds to be athletic is more of an edge case, but 200 pounds isn't that big.
8:52 Howdy handsome young man!! 🐱🐱
The cost, pain and inconvenience from damaged joints more than justifies any price you can pay for a good running shoe. If you're working construction, you have to have steel in the toe. And if you're running a lot, you have to have shock absorption in the sole. Decades later, you might still have joint, ligament, and arthritis issues. Then you can tell your surgical team, "I bought the best quality running shoes I could afford."
I would be more worried to brake one of the shoe loops than puncture the air unit , ive done this ,forgot on which pair it was but when i tried to tighten the shoe and it just pops super easy without much effort and its a shame srsly. So much thinking in designing and then u cant even tighten ur shoes with a normal effort...think it was on one of my running pairs.
They don’t just pop after one use. I’m a vapormax guy and it takes about a year of hard use in the gym til one of those bubbles break. I was doing one hour sessions on stair climbers doing over 100 steps a minute. But once one of those things break they are done for.
