Hey guys, love the video. Im a sock expert been working on sock circular knitting machines as a mechanic technician and technical designer since 2015. I began working for stance sock back in 2012 -2019 and I can confidently tell you these are FAR from being a compression sock especially a medical grade compression sock. The YZY POD has more of the construction of a knitted shoe upper as opposed to an actual sock. A sock has a large latter stretch and recovery using 3 yarns - body yarn usually cotton, spandex and elastic. A knitted shoe needs to be rigid with almost no lateral movement or stretch and uses 2 yarns - body usually Nylon or Polyester plus elastic yarn. This is an extremely floppy glorified plastic bag made of Nylon or worst off polyester with no structure to it at best it's a middle ground between a sock and a knitted shoe if that. It also features a modified heel shape and reinforced yarn around the heel to try to prevent blow out but fails miserably at it. It also has what we call a "Roll-top" welt and it rolls over as you can clearly see. its a crappy money grab and a lot of people ate it up, and other brands are following suite. DONT FALL FOR IT !!
@@kato2395 I’ve had mine almost five years and finally in one pair it snagged on something I have a hole. The rest are fine and this was one of the lightweight ones I wear for running/summer. I just got a pair of the long ones for refereeing.
@@kato2395they’re nice bro haven’t bought anything since. I’ve yet to wear a pair out and I’m hard on them, would normally blow thru adidas/Nike socks in like 4-6 months max. Plus they have a lifetime replacement warranty even if you do blow thru them
They are an absolutely amazing gym shoe. Doesn't take up a lot of bag space so you can wear whatever shoe you want to the gym. It's essentially a barefoot shoe so it lets your feet work properly when squatting, deadlifting, etc. Normally, there are people who just go shoe-less when doing those exercises but that has problems.
I used my $20 pods to walk over gravel to get to a boat then i accidentally stepped on a chunk of glass at a bar weeks afterwards, and there’s little to no damage on the rubber soles. I was surprised to see how durable and feel how comfortable they are.
Thx for the insight. I bought a pair of pods. Because i was curious about the sock shoes in general. Honestly, i have never been interested in sock shoes before Yzy pods. I think they are minimalistic functional fashion shoes. Wear them for few months and discard-type of shoes for 20💲
I got a pair of Puma gaming shoes. They're indoor compression socks with a shoe like sole. I love them for working from home. Mr Roger's had the right idea.
@@Apollo-Computers if those don't fit your vibe I hear wrestling shoes also make great indoor shoes but most of those you have to tie up where the Puma's just slip on
@@Entertainment- yeah but I bought the Puma's long before the yzy pods came out. These also have the sole throughout the foot and only come up to my ankle instead of like an actual sock.
Probably can't find it now, but there was a short video floating around with kanye in an office space with lots of samples all over the lobby floor and aluding to this. Talking about, "and this is how you get out of a 20 million dollar deal." Made a lot of sense to me, even then.
will we be seeing a comparison between the made in italy pair and the made in china pair that are now starting to ship? i've heard the main sock material has changed
I agree that the price of YZYs could be lower, but as a person who needs extra attention to my (thin) feet, I've had no gripes with the comfort of the shoes 👟
There is no conspiracy lol. If you've watched at least 2 Kanye interviews you know how this dude operates. He doesn't want to be told what to do, and he wants to do what he wants, and when he doesn't wanna do anything with his own hands anymore. So he said what he said, got out of all of his contracts and got exactly what he wanted. He just no longer has the same resources he use to have, but otherwise he's doing what he wants with his things he likes the most, and everything else will fall as it may.
Yes! Also he's more interested in setting trends and setting blue prints. To eventually become forgotten. You can see it now, how everything and everyone is copying his ideas. nothing wrong with copying. Just know where it originated.
I have a pair of the China versions, they fixed all of the internal gluing problems by removing a lot of that material. and changing the weave of the sock in those areas. Mine do not fit well so I could send them to you for a follow up.
It’s the same as how Tesla markets their minimalism as luxury. You have a reduced number of parts so you save a ton of money on tooling. The sock idea is great in that aspect since you don’t have to make a shoe every single half size and have the hassle of managing that inventory. I hate the design of the pods themselves, but applaud the cost engineering to get this to market as cheap and fast as possible.
The pods seem like some great shoes for me as a person who wants to wear barefoot shoes but is too socially anxious to wear em haha. I think I might get a couple.
Kanye has always wanted his products to be affordable, even as far back 10-11 years ago, he's expressed the idea of everything being as affordable as possible, Adidas are the ones who controlled the price at that time so they ended up being overpriced, to build perceived value

In Kanye we trust…this world would have any sort of swagger or style without us! Folks know who set the trends and make things cool.
The pods seem like some great shoes for me as a person who wants to wear barefoot shoes but is too socially anxious to wear em haha. I think I might get a couple.
Hey, that cold plunge is no joke if you aren't used to it (or even if you are)
Atta boy Weston!
Ye is my favorite black
It’s heavier than a normal sock. But I only have China pairs.
Kanye has always wanted his products to be affordable, even as far back 10-11 years ago, he's expressed the idea of everything being as affordable as possible, Adidas are the ones who controlled the price at that time so they ended up being overpriced, to build perceived value
Does Alden make a $700 sock though?!!
This is why Gemini the best we're the best hustlers😅
Maybe it wasn't mental help issue but a fkin big publicity stunt, so convenient way to break out from adidas...
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
