@@Dark_Angel555 As a dancer, I challenge you to do toe spins with out shoes. Please upload your videos, will be awesome to see... Yeah, you can dance without shoes. If you do modern you probably won't have shoes. But when talking about shoes in hip hop, they perform a very functional role. What you're saying is out of context. Like if you watch a video on point shoes for ballet and made this comment. You literally can't perform ballet en pointe without the proper shoes designed for that... Let's not forget tap dance, who cares if you wear crocs or just socks, you'll be fine.
This is by far the best steezy tip video. Clothing is such an important part of dancer presentation without it. We would lack our originality and authenticity
For y'all newbies out there, you have to remember that dance shoes are not limited to only these 10 shoes. Your dance shoes should be: 1. Thick padded - to provide stability when you dance 2. Have thick sole - so that you won't strain your foot so much 3. Have flexible sole - easier to move around 4. Grippy/slippery sole - (your preference) slippery allows you to slide, grippy provide stability when you spin 5. Overall comfortable (break in process fast) - no blisters when you dance Hope this helps 😁
Naufal Nasir YES! what I was really lookin for was that slippery sole biz u mentioned. For me it’s the sliding fw I’m always workin on. Every shoe I order is too rubbery/sticky. Do u have any suggestions from his list or other, that’s good for that? TY!!
@@LisaMarie-rh5yn goshh, so sorry I took so long to see this. For the slippery soles, I would go to a night market to buy one. They are cheap, and having low quality sole is one of the reasons why they are cheap (low quality sole = slippery sole). Another factor could also be that the materials are very low quality, thus they are very very easy to tear apart, if you dance in them all day. Yeah you might have to buy multiple shoes, but as long as it fits your dance style, you're good.
@@dharmatimes7968 Chuck Taylors last for a while but if you want something between the price of $300 Jordan 1 and a Under $100 chuck Taylor. I suggest you get either the CDG Highs or the Fear of God chucks
Reebok Classic Nylon is my favorite. So comfortable, light weight, some nice cushion, flexible upper, flexible sole and breathable. I like the Adidas Superstar alot too (have tons of superstar and wore them so much in my clubbing days) but they are quite heavy, not as flexible in the sole and upper and less breathable than the Reebok. Good with slides. I have the adidas ultraboost and pureboost too. Never went dancing in them but I actually like using my pureboost with boxing. I have vans and they have nice tacky traction but too heavy. I can't imagine dancing dancing with any heavy hightops in this video. I don't need ankle stability around my ankles when I dance. Restricts movements. I remember seeing so many with the pumas. I am interested in trying the puma and Adidas gazelle.
I love adidas Ultraboosts, my one problem is that they have a little too much grip. This might also depend on the studio floors but I find it really hard to turn or glide in them sometimes. And with that, makes my knees hurt if I’m not careful.
this is a bomb list guys! kudos! I blogged about this a while ago, so might add a few more for the comment readers: *im partial to nike* Performance: Nike Blazer (Clean and tall with many color ways, perfect for any look), Jordan 14 (I never used my feet so effortlessly, but they are a lil heavy), Bonus: Any shoe that Puspos wears. (Sick selection with style and flex versatility) Class: Air Max 90 (With the perfect fit, you won't ever lose), Nike SB (If it's good enough to skate in, its great to 8count), Nike Presto/React Element: Perfect shoe to steeze in with room to grip the floor Training/Rehearsal: Nike Zoom Pegasus (Perfect), A very old pair of Jordans (they're made for a season of bball, let em push you through all those hours)
i disagree about the ultraboosts. They're amazingly comfortable and good for active/athletic use, but they're too grippy for dancing. You can't slide easily on anything that isn't a sanded studio floor, which is a big dealbreaker for me.
*I take some zumba and hip hop class, for sure you forget "Fila" those shoes are really good too, and you can find cheap in Big5 sport, on training style, thanks for the video*
Thank you sooo much!!! I just started dancing and my shoes weren't so comfortable... So I was thinking of buying a new pair. I am probably going to buy Air Force 1 or Vans authentic ❤
No joke I've been wanting the Adidas Ultraboosts for a while, and was just thinking about them earlier today. I'm taking this video as a sign lol. Great content as usual!
Came to the comments to see how many people say converse and not one comment I find 😭😭 I only wear chucks!! I know they may be too thin on the sole, but I love how flexible they are and I like high tops for dancing 'cause I feel my ankle is supported. I like Vans too, after watching this maybe I'll get a pair and see how they feel.
Just this week tought "I want to buy another Adidas Superstar" :D I had one for 5 years and I loved it, I loved to dance, walk, be in it. I tried to dance in my Supra something today and it felt terrible...
I can’t moonwalk on sneakers for the life of me. My movements are too jerky and sluggish since I can’t seem to get smooth traction with the floor. Obviously, I don’t expect to have smooth traction like I do in socks but I can’t get an even slightly smooth traction.
It’s the technique and timing of sliding your foot and switching to the other. That’s the most important focus in the moonwalk or glide. Also, it’s an illusion, your sliding foot should be barely on the ground enough to look like it’s actually sliding. But really all of your weight is on the foot in place and you’re just moving the the other foot away. Hope this helps some.
Once Van's get on my feet it's done! Even that I know those ripped fast! I can't, soon as I do some steps with those shoes, I don't give a damn what gone happen with those!
I was wondering about how sweat affected these shoes? idk if thats a weird question, but for example, the suede ones look like sweat would cause stains in them and the sock-like ones look like they would trap a lot of heat and be uncomfortable. this isnt info thats really displayed on tags and sites so is there a trick to know? like materials to avoid or smth ty
I just bought Taygra Corrida and i tried them at school today Salsa and Bachata. I was really losing the grip on the floor and i didn't feel comfortable with that
when I first started taking hip hop classes, my teacher told me they're alright if the laces are tight but they're so flat footed he wouldn't usually recommend them. I danced in them for years anyway because I like them, but the stiff soles cracked/got hella worn out from trying to move my foot, too much grip trying to moonwalk, the shoes are really heavy, not much cushion for jumps. I finally decided I need to switch just last year lol
Alex Nguyen I love Cortez’s you just gotta break them in first. They’re honestly my favorite shoes to dance in and super light and helps me execute my moves better
Well i strarted and the teacher told me the first day that i don't need shoes 😂 i looking forward to have more classes next year as i only have class on mondays as im really enjoying them :)
Okay so I got the Air Force 1's because I thought they looked clean, but everyone I know is bitching about me wanting to dance in them? Can I get y'alls opinions in that? Shoes are shoes. You can't enjoy shoes if you're so fucking caught up in "preserving" them like they're a treasure
How are you finding them now for dancing? Did you return them? I recently bought the same and wondering if I should return it or not because they feel bulky and kind of hurt my feet.
Toe, toe box flex, midsole cushion, heel counter, breathe ability, I think Puma and Adidas need to use newer tech like NRGY and Boost and keep the same look for updated dance performance.
Ultra boost are horrible for lateral movement. You’re gonna feel like your ankle and foot is going to snap when moving side to side. Shoe is designed for forward motion only
athletic shoes are generally made to grip the floor..and floor grip can cause a dancer to injure ankles or tear ligaments (particularly knee). really the only sneakers that should be used for dance are those with flat soles. the sneaks in the video are cute but some of them could be dangerous depending on the type of dancer you are.
If I ever join your dance classes, I'll make sure to wear crocs.
CROCS GANG 😤
the chaotic energy i aspire to be

Steezy coming thru with the best content. This video was so necessary.
Why don't ya'll release STEEZY shoes? Y'know eXcLuSivElY for dancers, with your logo on it? It'd be dope believe me
Steezy crocks would be dope.
i would hella buy that!
YES. absolutely.
Need an 2021 updated version of this
Yeah and the shoes should have pivots!
Can never go wrong with a pair of Nike Air Max’s. Definitely any from the 90’s line and definitely love my zero’s
dancing in air forces is all fun and games, until they get creased!
soo would you say no go on the air force's?
@@Trevor-Watlington you can get a crease protection product to put in your shoes if you're that worried about it.
I wear a size below what I usually wear to avoid creases
my jordan 1 lows are already creased rip
Id crease airforces any day.
Wow, Steezy making me feel broke 😂😂 But thanks for this, it was much needed.
if the jordan 1 is outta your price range, grab a converse chuck taylor 70
Is that comfortable and lasting long when if u uses it for dancing hip hop ??

I swear to god I've seen a lot of vans and air force 1's in hip-hop class
Is vans can be used for toe stand
@@sivadasanmc umm depends. If you're wearing platforms then maybee but idk

👟Tell us how you like them!
Thanks for this video now I know which one I want for my dancing
No joke I've been wanting the Adidas Ultraboosts for a while, and was just thinking about them earlier today. I'm taking this video as a sign lol. Great content as usual!
No Rod Lavers? They are my favorite. Specially with the light out sole! Just right amount of slippery/grippy
I use the puma breaker sneaker
Air Force 1 and Nike Air Jordan 1 is my favorite from this list ❤
For me :1 puma suede 2 chuck taylor converse 3 hush puppies 4 adidas americana 5 stan smith .
Please do an updated video on shoe/heel selection 👟😁👏🏼
Loved this video - very informative

Omg I have the puma suede classics 😂
Thank you for sharing!!!!! It's important to know for beginners!!!!!!!
Thank you! Will start dancing next Year

I always use my airforce ones when o dance love em
I use Nike Free Trainers
ultra boosts are the best honestly
Gazelles, puma suede classics and superstars I would recommend for bboying
What type of shoes are good for popping dancer .
Failed to mention Reebok Classics. Theyre affordable & just as good as the NB 574
AF! are prefect for gliding. Just make sure to turn up the volume because they develop that horrible SQUEAK inside the midsole very quickly.
Thanks for this video!

Arent there any things to attach to the bottom of the shoe, like plastic shields?
Thank you for giving me more reasons to convince my parents to buy me new shoes!
My Favorites are Nike air Jordan 1 and Adidas superstar
I liked the Nike Air Jordan one's.
I just bought Taygra Corrida and i tried them at school today Salsa and Bachata. I was really losing the grip on the floor and i didn't feel comfortable with that
What about converse high tops? just made me curious on why they didn't make the list, haha
when I first started taking hip hop classes, my teacher told me they're alright if the laces are tight but they're so flat footed he wouldn't usually recommend them. I danced in them for years anyway because I like them, but the stiff soles cracked/got hella worn out from trying to move my foot, too much grip trying to moonwalk, the shoes are really heavy, not much cushion for jumps.

Essential video
Where to buy Adidas superstar for those prices? in Canada its all $100. Youth for $85
Reebok's are coming in to be on the same level as the New Balances. I switch back and forth between these 2.
what about cortez's?
Alex Nguyen I love Cortez’s you just gotta break them in first. They’re honestly my favorite shoes to dance in and super light and helps me execute my moves better
Is vans skool or vans is good for toe stand ,i have a doubt WOUN'T IT can be used for TOE STAND while it is flexible . I need reply fast ...Help me...
Jordan 11's are good but regular vans like the flat ones mmm no. maybe the platforms
