Hey, that psi testing device you made would probably work a bit better if you put grease or vaseline on the needle before puncturing the air unit to create more of a seal.
*_There is no pressure inflation hole on the air pads and there is a clear plastic parting line where the two halves fuse together so no pressure is in them from the factory. Now with that said pressure of the type he is reading comes from expansion and contraction with in the environment._*
The more I watch the videos from this channel.. the more I am seeing how much shoe companies are just lying to us about anything and everything in order to sell a product. At this point I wanna see if the shoe laces are even real. Cut that in half too!! Lol
I’d hazard a guess to say even more expensive luxury brands don’t even use quality material. I’ve got from soft ultra boost to harder heal Paul smith, well built trainers.
Reminds me a Toshiba laptop I used to work on. The sales brochure claimed the chassis used a honeycomb structure for rigidity and lightness. The little panel door that covered the memory and HDD had the honeycomb pattern on the inside surface of the panel. But when I removed the entire back panel of the laptop to access the system board, the panel was just a regular smooth panel of magnesium like any other laptop. So, like maybe 2% of the laptop actually used a honeycomb pattern in it.
Thank you for the video It was awesome. Seeing airbags being popped is always both painful and liberating... I think all of us who have owned a pair of Nikes have felt their aerosol pop and be totally bummed... But there's something so satisfying about hearing that air escape the shoe.
I think a cool series would be a house slipper series. There's such a wide range in prices for house moccasins and they all use very different materials. Perhaps a good idea for a fall/winter series.
@@davej652 my house slippers are Birkenstock Boston’s. They’ve lasted four years so far and the “birk” print on the soles are only just wearing away. I also have custom Quoddy’s on the way
agreed!! I have a ridiculously expensive $80 pair of LL Bean Wicked Good slippers and I'm not really sure why they are so well-regarded. They have no support or cushioning below the foot and I can't wear them for too long.
Great video ~ taking the time to find the truth of the shoe is great to see. As a person with a large and flat foot, this in-depth study definitely matters to me and I appreciate what you're doing. I remember when this shoe first came out. This colorway is fresh in my book. But Nike has never and I mean never, been great regarding comfort to me. Before I started wearing orthotics when I was young and wasn't feeling pain in my feet, Nike didn't understand comfort. And after I started wearing orthotics for my flatfeet in my late teens, they still hadn't grasped it. They grasp style. They have legendary history that connects with pop culture. But they simply do not understand what it is to build for comfort. And even with orthotics, the comfort in a shoe still matters. While this bubble feature on the shoe looks appealing, it's nothing but eye candy to me that doesn't give lasting comfort. Especially that supposed bubble under the heel. I can tell that doesn't do much of anything. Just as you guys said, it would seem as if heel pressure would disperse air within the bubble underneath to the bubble we can visibly see to give more comfort to your heel as it lands on the ground, but even that effect looks minimal if not giving anything at all. And in cutting it, we can see the truth. While every shoe eventually wears out its welcome with use over time, shoe companies can often fool people with aesthetics when the shoe really isn't much of a gamechanger. And as you get older, that matters more and more, especially if you value comfort and a softer touch in a shoe. I personally don't wear Nike anymore because of that, but I still appreciate some of the great styles and colorways they often have from a distance. My go-to athletic shoe these days tends to be Asics with their built-in orthotic style soles for flatfeet like the Asics Gel-Kayanos and others. I'd love to see a video done for the latest Asics running shoe for flatfeet runners and gym-bodies.
The old Reebok DMX system (Reebok Answer 1) had individual air "pods" that were all interconnected and you could feel the air moving around as you put pressure down with your foot, some of the most comfortable shoes I had growing up. Would be cool to see an old pair of them cut apart.
@@kinderwaff possibly their “Tuned Air” air max shoes transferred between chambers or if each unit in the midsole was pressurized differently to prevent instability while maintaining “comfort” honestly can’t remember
@@PhreakinFPV honestly, being cheaply made back then(and now) I’m sure you get batches that were great and others not. I mean I have seen reviews/comments about some of the new remakes of Reebok’s Omni pump basketball shoes not working right of the box 😳.
BTW, Nike used to have a replacement service, if your air bubble popped, they would send you a new pair - of whatever the latest version of that shoe was. I had new Nike Air Pegasus and new Nike Air 180s out of them. They didn't publicize it, but it might have been something to do with the 2 year standard warrantee (in UK & Europe).
Thank you for showing us Nike’s bullshit here, i say this as someone who has multiple Air Force ones and other shoes from them. The green washing is pathetic, if the product doesn’t even last as long than it won’t really negate the effects either way. Pricing is also ridiculous in my opinion, these will be in discount bins before long. Great work as always
These released last year and they've been discounted for a while now. Usually after the first 5-6mos of a Nike release you can find some good sales. I haven't paid but $120 for a pair of Nike running shoes in the past three years. I've gotten everything from the Peg Turbo 2, Infinity Run, and regular Pegasus. For that price Nike's shoes are excellent compared to the competition.
I was huge fan of the brand. Especially the Air Force 1 and SB’s but the quality, marketing and new decisions made me shift away. There are a lot of other options there. Better quality and prices
@Rose Anvil You're really onto something with this type of content; I LOVE it! And where's that GORGEOUS little Devon?!!! That's actually my favorite part of your vids, but the shoe content is a close second ; )
Old nikes, particuarly in the late 80s and early 90s used to have almost every shoe provided arch supports, and most shoes were either polyurthane, or tomilite. And the shoes were much sleeker to prevent sliding in.
I think the middle air chamber is separate. I had a pair like that decades ago and yes I cut them apart. I honestly thought I was the only weirdo that NEEDED to cut all my old Nike air's open!
It doesn't matter how tall we are, have a really good cushion while we walk is a game changer. At least for me it really makes me happy!! Great video! You are a Pioneer doing this!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I agree re good cushion - especially after massive back surgery fusing 10 cervical and thoracic verebrae in 2020, which meant I needed to learn how to walk again, a process made easier and more enjoyable thanks to a brand new pair of comfortable right out of the box RedBack boots. The Saucony and ASICS runners I used to buy also gave me that, as have my RedBack Boots - none of them have involved gimmicky features which creatd the illusion of being so much better and more comfortable than anything else, and often at higher cost. Back in the day I ran with a pair of the early Nike airs, and found them inferior to the (one and only pair) of Brooks I had been wearing. Of course everyone's experience varies. Having said that, I am thankful that on this site we get some pretty objective and well informed perspectives (which is why I got the RedBacks once I got of hospital)!
must be walking wrong if you create that much of an impact to need cushion. for me the less cushioning the more confortable the walk since I don't have to counter all the imbalance the soft material causes
@@Jaburu Maybe you dont a strong stride in your whole leg that need that strong step, maybe. Or maybe is jist me. And i never said i like the imbalance. Is steady cushion, i guess depends on the material of the insole and what you are used to. I dont like only one type of shoes or sandals. I actually have plain flat, intermediate, and firm steady cushion/with the shame of my feet sandals and i like them all. So it depends on preferences!
@@AuslanderY It is preference, but also fashion made us used to the heavy cushioning when people startet using running/basketball shoes on the street. I too thought it makes walking more comfortable, but once I went more miimalist I actualy learned this is not the case for me. also the softer the foam the faster the shoe "turns to one side" because of uneven wearing...which is bad also.
You should try the jordan 11, it was the most revolutionary shoe at its time and I’m curious to see how it’s build, since the sole and construction it’s unique. Also it’s MJ fav shoe.
I've literally been binge watching all your videos all day, this is quickly becoming my favorite channel. I'd love to see you analyze some Jordan 4's, 5's, 6's, air max 97's and vapormaxes in the future!
I loved the green screen bro. U were able to show important information in the background as u were explaining it. It helped to know what u were actually talking about sometimes. Cause I knew NOTHING about leather, thanks to u, I know alot now. Keep doin ur thing my boy! 👍 I've NEVER seen a video like urs on sneakers before, ur GREAT! U give sooo much information and really test everything. I'm subscribing FOR SURE! I saw just one of ur videos, then proceeded to watch another 9 of urs ina row lol. Even the ones were I don't like or I'm not interested in the shoe ur testing. I'm sooo glad I stumbled upon ur channel bro. I LITERALLY learned so much from u today. Presciate u bro! 👊 Edit- I would LOVE for u to do any Nike Kyrie shoes and, or Nike adapt shoes.
When I saw this come out I really wanted to buy it. Upon wearing it in the store for fitting before buying I was really disappointed about the comfort. It is really unstable as well. Everything he said about this shoe is the truth. No sugar coating whatsoever. That's what I felt when I tried this. I ended up not buying this. Hoping for the 2022 airmax to be much better looking and much more comfortable.
there was an article last year on a distance runner having their time cut down by some big name manufacturer's new tech in shoes; concept is energy return. i am not sure if i remember correctly but i think there was basically a spring built into it which might suck for your bandsaw. seeing some of that broken down would also be different as i think a number of these things are normally ultralight so it's like a knitted sock upper with all the technology in the sole.
There's a really weird lag in time between new tech being introduced and professional regulating bodies realizing that a tiny fraction of those new introductions are actually having an impact that needs to be curbed somehow. This is due in part by the business of advertising new product innovations (for clout) which largely don't make an impact, as well as the very blurry distinction between a product improvement and an unfair advantage in sport.

I've always loved the way AirMax sneakers felt, but every single pair I've owned has gotten a hole or leak, which just ruins your day and forces you to buy a new pair of sneakers.
Man I really would love to see you cut open a Yeezy 700 wave runner as well as some Adidas ultra boost! Awesome video as per usual keep up the great work!! You keep making the videos I’ll keep watching them!!
Could you do a review of the Asics Novablast V2? They're a pair of running shoes known for their durability. Some runners have racked up something like 700+ miles in the V1 and V2 versions.
Can you do a deconstruction of a high heel? I'd like to know how the support is built since there's only two points of contact. And also, see if theres a difference between price points, and different materials in the 👠.
I think that you should keep this series going it is interesting to watch name brand shoes broken down and picked apart. I think it would be cool if for the next episode you could do the air max 270’s. - Thanks
yea if this becomes a trend its a good way to put companies in check, it really does stop you from buying if you see the build quality is not worthed and they know it
Idk to each their own, but working in a car factory and being on my feet 12hrs and mandatory 6 days a week i ordered 3 pairs and rotate them. They are very comfortable!
I really enjoyed this video breakdown of these Nikes. With the Nike false advertising with the “honeycomb” thing, this is the 2nd false advertising I’ve seen from Nike pointed out since the Kobe Protro 4. Keep it up!
I remember back in late 90s when Reebok released DMX, it was several air pockets that are connected and pushed air into one another. You guys should do a video cutting one. Buy a DMX run 10 Atmos
The 270s do the same thing where your foot kinda wants to go to the front of the shoe because the heel is so tall. It definitely goes away after a couple of wears but that was one of the first things I noticed when I got my first pair of 270s
I actually have several styles of Timberland's boots and Hiking shoes and im impressed by the quality of the construction. But i dont see good quality lately on these running shoes "the best brands) you usually cut. And they cost way too much of what are they giving.
I've always wanted to see the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Flyknit. People have set world records with those shoes. Considered the most high tech running shoe by many.
Can you do a video comparing a bunch of full/mostly rubber boots? Like Original Muck boots, Bogs, Lacrosse, etc. Been wearing mucks for work because a lot of time is spent standing in swamps. I’d love to see a breakdown on a bunch of different boots that could be used as a rugged work boot in wet conditions.
Those holes in 9:17 that you've mentioned, I think they really are originally the soles of the 2090 and they just covered it up with those black thin soles with negative signs. I have my 2090 and they look just like that. 😳
I have a bunch of designer shoes, happy to donate a pair to see what's inside. Have you reviewed any Gucci, buscemi, Balenciaga, Maison M., Giuseppe Zanotti or similar?
He hasn't, but it would be extremely interesting and a welcome break from the hundreds of work boots he cuts that use pretty much the same design and parts between them
Nike's had some neat looking stuff that i wanted to try back when i ran more. unfortunately, nike doesn't do wide sizes so i can't wear anything they make. i managed to squeeze my feet into a pair of "wide" nike frees once and, on top of being super tight, it was like walking on a railroad track. i could get maybe 3 1/2 toes on the sole, and the rest were just bulging out the side. Thanks again for the introduction to Redbacks by the way. They've been possibly the most comfortable thing i've ever worn, right up there with the new balance 577v1's that were previously the only thing i could find that were wide and comfy enough for all the walking around i have to do at work.
1. I have a back support air cushion, which is FANTASTIC, I had back issues when sitting until I found the air version of these cushions (it's called Medic-Air) so I get exactly what you are describing about the air spilling to the sides. 2. Your channel is HILARIOUS lately, I haven't noticed until recently but please keep it up :D cheetos in the sole omg!! lol
I remember when I couldn't find "real" running shoes any more and I got a pair of Asics that had really high heels (like everything else at the time). I brought them home and tried to wear them but they freaked out my feet and body so much I ended up throwing them away and I put the insoles in the rubber boots. Really bad shopping mistake, but that's all that was available at sport shoe places. Since then, I only wear skate shoes, mostly Vans or anything with a zero rise heel. I want to convert my delaminated (accidentally) by heat soles on my 20 year old Timberland boots to zero rise heel. The heel is ok on the bike and I wore them for hiking around steep stickery dirt locations, but not for long hikes. What's with the heel thing anyway? So they can then they charge you an arm and a leg if its "zero rise heel"?
@@kayleeimp Oddly once they taut them as zero drop (which seems like a misnomer) the price goes way up. Target's got nice canvas women's sneakers that are completely level, and they do wear out quick, but you can sometimes get them on clearance when they change seasonal colors. I also have a pair of speedo water shoes (cheap onsale from Big 5). I can walk miles in those with a little extra insole (I have 30 yr old sorboair insoles that are still pretty nice!). Nice to dance in if you are seeing live music, too. I like Vans as they last longer and you get bang for your buck, but they are best when nearly worn out, so I will mend those a bit.
@@OWK000 yeah of course I can understand that! I love vans, but the only difference between those is that they are extremely narrow in the toe area. So with the zero drop shoes they allow for your toes to spread and bend as they were meant to. But everyone has their preferences! Vans and converse are classics!
@@kayleeimp The cheap Target canvas sneakers have nice round toe room and the Speedo water slippers are roomy and stretchy w/room for insoles even. I have short, even toes and wide metatarsals myself and I cannot wear old fashioned pointy Keds or Converse for instance. I am heavy boned and find mens shoes better proportioned and better fitting for my feet, but I like the Target women's canvas minimalist sneakers. These are just nice budget choices. I would love some Lems, tho.
I bought and returned these because 1) while they were actually quite functional for damping heel strikes, helping my back condition greatly (and I am considering buying another pair for back flare ups), 2) the main flaw is how far back the air unit hangs which just over-leverages the ankle and hence shin muscles, especially if walking downhill. The front of the shoe and transition to it could be better but those are nowhere near the problem of basic ankle geometry. It’s a 10 in concept and I hope they improve on it. Great vid!!👏👏
Just ordered one of the scratched and dented wallets but completely forgot to add the code XD you can nonetheless damn well count me as being very excited to finally have a piece of your work in home tho!
I'm about to get a pair of kenetrek mountain extreme boots. I would love to see videos on high end hunting/mountain boots like kenetrek or schnees to see if they are really worth the money.
It's great that the inner chamber doesn't connect with the outside bubble. My shoe popped after 2 years, only on the outside. I feel no difference when I'm walking, the outside chamber is there just for looks.
i was thee in the comments talking about how i hated the greenscreen. the way you handled it is perfection my guy. "no big deal we dropped it" 😂👌🏻👍🏻thank you. your content is amazing sorry to the guy that came up with the idea and the writing flashing across he probs thought it was cool af 😂
Thank you again brother for another great video. I was curious to see what the shoe was made if as well. Now, can you show me how to out the shoe back together? I fillowed you step by step, now i need to reverse it. 👍👍👍
Would love to see adidas boost or Yeezy I have bad feet pain and adidas boost seems to be only brand that helps me out . But very curious what’s inside and your opinion on them . And if there is any reg adidas boost that compares to Yeezy boost .
I'm begging you, for Moctober '22 do a comparison of East coast style style moccasins. There are so many brands that charge an arm and a leg, let's see if they're worth it. I dying to see Yuketen, Rancourt, Anxynt, Russell, and Quoddy cut in half and exposed.
I would LOVE for u to do any Nike Kyrie shoes and, or Nike adapt shoes. Nike Adapt Auto Max maybe? Or the Nike Kyrie 5,6,7, or 8. I believe most of Kyrie's are leather and textiles. Would LOVE to see EXACTLY what the textiles even are!
As a casual hiker who prefers hiking in trail running shoes over traditional hiking boots, I'm a bit interested in looking at what's inside different hiking boots, trail shoes, trail running shoes, etc. if there really is a difference between brands and which would be more durable.
I have a pair of Nike VM Airmax that I got for free that are retailed at 350 bucks. I'm also a medically retired veteran and I will say that they are by FAR the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. They save my knees so much pressure when walking (Which is a big deal considering I've had 14 surgeries on just one of them) and nearly hides my limp. (Which is slight to begin with but still). I don't know if it's the particular shoe or type but if something were to happen to those shoes I would buy another pair. Which is saying something because the thought of paying even 150 dollars for a pair of shoes is insane to me, lol.
THAT DISCOUNT CODE!! hahaha longest in history! love your reviews and humor and also keep the green screen!! It adds a fun element of humor & visual info to the videos! 👏🏾👏🏾💗 ps: love the 90s nickelodeon home goods reference!
Not sure if anyone suggested Oliver wb34 series lace up boots but they are my go to work boot in construction and i have tried a few other reputable brands but always come back to olivers would love to see what your opinion is on them cheers
As someone who used to work in a clothing factory I can easily tell that this shoe costs anywhere between 10-40$ for materials (way less in vn). It wont last more than 4-6 months with minimum use ... not worth buying them at all . . .
Thoroughly enjoy these teardowns of shoes and boots. I haven't seen everything you've done yet but working on it. I'd like to make a suggestion for a teardown...this brand, Shoes for Crews, is geared towards industry. I've had a few pairs if their Ace work boots and have been curious about their construction. I would love to hear your take on their Redrock work boot.

It looks to me like the air chamber itself is a kind of honeycomb shape, and it's hollow since it's filled with air. Maybe that's what they mean?

I actually have plain flat, intermediate, and firm steady cushion/with the shame of my feet sandals and i like them all. So it depends on preferences!
@@AuslanderY It is preference, but also fashion made us used to the heavy cushioning when people startet using running/basketball shoes on the street. I too thought it makes walking more comfortable, but once I went more miimalist I actualy learned this is not the case for me. also the softer the foam the faster the shoe "turns to one side" because of uneven wearing...which is bad also.
I think a cool sneaker to cut in half would be part of the ASIC Gel series, I’ve always wondered what the actual gel inside would be like
Lubricant one)))
You should try the jordan 11, it was the most revolutionary shoe at its time and I’m curious to see how it’s build, since the sole and construction it’s unique. Also it’s MJ fav shoe.
Other channels have it.
Overrated
I've literally been binge watching all your videos all day, this is quickly becoming my favorite channel. I'd love to see you analyze some Jordan 4's, 5's, 6's, air max 97's and vapormaxes in the future!
I loved the green screen bro. U were able to show important information in the background as u were explaining it. It helped to know what u were actually talking about sometimes. Cause I knew NOTHING about leather, thanks to u, I know alot now. Keep doin ur thing my boy! 👍 I've NEVER seen a video like urs on sneakers before, ur GREAT! U give sooo much information and really test everything. I'm subscribing FOR SURE! I saw just one of ur videos, then proceeded to watch another 9 of urs ina row lol. Even the ones were I don't like or I'm not interested in the shoe ur testing. I'm sooo glad I stumbled upon ur channel bro. I LITERALLY learned so much from u today. Presciate u bro! 👊
Edit- I would LOVE for u to do any Nike Kyrie shoes and, or Nike adapt shoes.
When I saw this come out I really wanted to buy it. Upon wearing it in the store for fitting before buying I was really disappointed about the comfort. It is really unstable as well. Everything he said about this shoe is the truth. No sugar coating whatsoever. That's what I felt when I tried this. I ended up not buying this. Hoping for the 2022 airmax to be much better looking and much more comfortable.
there was an article last year on a distance runner having their time cut down by some big name manufacturer's new tech in shoes; concept is energy return. i am not sure if i remember correctly but i think there was basically a spring built into it which might suck for your bandsaw. seeing some of that broken down would also be different as i think a number of these things are normally ultralight so it's like a knitted sock upper with all the technology in the sole.
Nike Vaporflys
It's already been done, the "spring" is a carbon fiber plate.
Snippy snip with some tin snips
There's a really weird lag in time between new tech being introduced and professional regulating bodies realizing that a tiny fraction of those new introductions are actually having an impact that needs to be curbed somehow. This is due in part by the business of advertising new product innovations (for clout) which largely don't make an impact, as well as the very blurry distinction between a product improvement and an unfair advantage in sport.

Ah yes, Nike’s latest version of this shoe is called the alpha fly next% definitely something that would be awesome to see on the inside
Just wanted remind that you do such a important job with these. Also those belt and wallet videos were great teaching tools.
I've always loved the way AirMax sneakers felt, but every single pair I've owned has gotten a hole or leak, which just ruins your day and forces you to buy a new pair of sneakers.
Man I really would love to see you cut open a Yeezy 700 wave runner as well as some Adidas ultra boost! Awesome video as per usual keep up the great work!! You keep making the videos I’ll keep watching them!!
I’m surprised you never did the alpha flys running shoes or the banned basketball shoes from Nike since they both are spring loaded
Alphafly have been cut by other chanel already so doing it would be rather pointless?
@@winniesuwarni874 your comment was pointless
@@InbredJed82060 oh wow
It's not a spring in the Alphafly.
@@QronoZ713 obviously but if you say weird foam ball thingy loaded, no one would have any idea what you're talking about.
Your channel is really interesting bro. I really hope the you will do a cut in half in Hush puppies and Florsheim shoes.
Your the only channel worth your beans in reviewing shoes or boots. Thankyou
Could you do a review of the Asics Novablast V2? They're a pair of running shoes known for their durability. Some runners have racked up something like 700+ miles in the V1 and V2 versions.
Can you do a deconstruction of a high heel?
I'd like to know how the support is built since there's only two points of contact.
And also, see if theres a difference between price points, and different materials in the 👠.
Do some tactical boots next like the underarmour valsetz, they are like a mash up between sneakers and boots
I think that you should keep this series going it is interesting to watch name brand shoes broken down and picked apart. I think it would be cool if for the next episode you could do the air max 270’s. - Thanks
yea if this becomes a trend its a good way to put companies in check, it really does stop you from buying if you see the build quality is not worthed and they know it
Love the green screen.
Can donate standard issue AF/Army Belleville boots. Everyone tosses them after BMT, decent boots but annoyingly heavy.
I still wear mine lol
@@had1223 Same but I'm just cheap
3:16
Eventually that rubber "cage" will just crumble into dust!
That has happened to most of my Air trainers with the partially exposed unit.
Idk to each their own, but working in a car factory and being on my feet 12hrs and mandatory 6 days a week i ordered 3 pairs and rotate them. They are very comfortable!
I don't really watch people cutting sneakers and boots in half. but when I do I watch Rose Anvil
I really enjoyed this video breakdown of these Nikes. With the Nike false advertising with the “honeycomb” thing, this is the 2nd false advertising I’ve seen from Nike pointed out since the Kobe Protro 4. Keep it up!
I remember back in late 90s when Reebok released DMX, it was several air pockets that are connected and pushed air into one another. You guys should do a video cutting one. Buy a DMX run 10 Atmos
The 270s do the same thing where your foot kinda wants to go to the front of the shoe because the heel is so tall. It definitely goes away after a couple of wears but that was one of the first things I noticed when I got my first pair of 270s
Just bought 2 pairs, so really nice to see what the shoe actually consists of. Great description.
I Just saw them in Sale. Did you Like them still? Think is a good purchase?
I actually have several styles of Timberland's boots and Hiking shoes and im impressed by the quality of the construction. But i dont see good quality lately on these running shoes "the best brands) you usually cut. And they cost way too much of what are they giving.
Mad respect for being genuine and real instead of kissing Nikes ass to draw their attention and perhaps sponsor you.
I've always wanted to see the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Flyknit. People have set world records with those shoes. Considered the most high tech running shoe by many.
Can you do a video comparing a bunch of full/mostly rubber boots? Like Original Muck boots, Bogs, Lacrosse, etc.
Been wearing mucks for work because a lot of time is spent standing in swamps. I’d love to see a breakdown on a bunch of different boots that could be used as a rugged work boot in wet conditions.
Those holes in 9:17 that you've mentioned, I think they really are originally the soles of the 2090 and they just covered it up with those black thin soles with negative signs. I have my 2090 and they look just like that. 😳
I have a bunch of designer shoes, happy to donate a pair to see what's inside. Have you reviewed any Gucci, buscemi, Balenciaga, Maison M., Giuseppe Zanotti or similar?
He hasn't, but it would be extremely interesting and a welcome break from the hundreds of work boots he cuts that use pretty much the same design and parts between them
I'm pretty curious what's inside the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit. Probably the most comfy sneakers I own.
Just a small
Heal air unit
Would really enjoy a video on Olympic lifting shoes. Do-win have leather heels others use plastics.
Nike's had some neat looking stuff that i wanted to try back when i ran more. unfortunately, nike doesn't do wide sizes so i can't wear anything they make. i managed to squeeze my feet into a pair of "wide" nike frees once and, on top of being super tight, it was like walking on a railroad track. i could get maybe 3 1/2 toes on the sole, and the rest were just bulging out the side.
Thanks again for the introduction to Redbacks by the way. They've been possibly the most comfortable thing i've ever worn, right up there with the new balance 577v1's that were previously the only thing i could find that were wide and comfy enough for all the walking around i have to do at work.
1. I have a back support air cushion, which is FANTASTIC, I had back issues when sitting until I found the air version of these cushions (it's called Medic-Air) so I get exactly what you are describing about the air spilling to the sides. 2. Your channel is HILARIOUS lately, I haven't noticed until recently but please keep it up :D cheetos in the sole omg!! lol
Nike is counting on people caring more about how this shoe looks rather than how it performs.
Except their running shoes of course. ZoomX is a really good foam, and Vaporflies are basically cheating.
I strongly dislike the greenscreen man! Your videos are awesome, I hate not feeling that retro vibe anymore, the greenscreen takes it away!😭😭
I remember when I couldn't find "real" running shoes any more and I got a pair of Asics that had really high heels (like everything else at the time). I brought them home and tried to wear them but they freaked out my feet and body so much I ended up throwing them away and I put the insoles in the rubber boots. Really bad shopping mistake, but that's all that was available at sport shoe places. Since then, I only wear skate shoes, mostly Vans or anything with a zero rise heel. I want to convert my delaminated (accidentally) by heat soles on my 20 year old Timberland boots to zero rise heel. The heel is ok on the bike and I wore them for hiking around steep stickery dirt locations, but not for long hikes. What's with the heel thing anyway? So they can then they charge you an arm and a leg if its "zero rise heel"?
If you like zero rise heels check out xero shoes, feel grounds shoes, lems, and vivobarefoot. It’s called “zero drop” from heel to toe.
@@kayleeimp Oddly once they taut them as zero drop (which seems like a misnomer) the price goes way up. Target's got nice canvas women's sneakers that are completely level, and they do wear out quick, but you can sometimes get them on clearance when they change seasonal colors. I also have a pair of speedo water shoes (cheap onsale from Big 5). I can walk miles in those with a little extra insole (I have 30 yr old sorboair insoles that are still pretty nice!). Nice to dance in if you are
seeing live music, too. I like Vans as they last longer and you get bang for your buck, but they are best when nearly worn out, so I will mend those a bit.
@@OWK000 yeah of course I can understand that! I love vans, but the only difference between those is that they are extremely narrow in the toe area. So with the zero drop shoes they allow for your toes to spread and bend as they were meant to. But everyone has their preferences! Vans and converse are classics!
@@kayleeimp The cheap Target canvas sneakers have nice round toe room and the Speedo water slippers are roomy and stretchy w/room for insoles even. I have short, even toes and wide metatarsals myself and I cannot wear old fashioned pointy Keds or Converse for instance. I am heavy boned and find mens shoes better proportioned and better fitting for my feet, but I like the Target women's canvas minimalist sneakers. These are just nice budget choices. I would love some Lems, tho.
I bought and returned these because 1) while they were actually quite functional for damping heel strikes, helping my back condition greatly (and I am considering buying another pair for back flare ups), 2) the main flaw is how far back the air unit hangs which just over-leverages the ankle and hence shin muscles, especially if walking downhill. The front of the shoe and transition to it could be better but those are nowhere near the problem of basic ankle geometry. It’s a 10 in concept and I hope they improve on it. Great vid!!👏👏
Finally! Someone who chopped these up!
I think a weight lifting shoe, such as the Reebok Nanos, Nike Metcons, and No Bulls, would be a cool disection.
Subbed for the great content. Keep educating sir!
Thank you so much i love your videos and channel keep it up 👌👍😁😁😁
awesome video....this is very interesting and informative.
You should look at some running shoes from Nike, some have a carbon fiber plate in them
Have you thought about donating the other non cut shoe to people with only one leg. Also can you do The Jordan XXXVI
Just ordered one of the scratched and dented wallets but completely forgot to add the code XD you can nonetheless damn well count me as being very excited to finally have a piece of your work in home tho!
Add more pressure to it and use a puncture repair kit to fix the hole!
I'm about to get a pair of kenetrek mountain extreme boots. I would love to see videos on high end hunting/mountain boots like kenetrek or schnees to see if they are really worth the money.
It's great that the inner chamber doesn't connect with the outside bubble. My shoe popped after 2 years, only on the outside. I feel no difference when I'm walking, the outside chamber is there just for looks.
i was thee in the comments talking about how i hated the greenscreen. the way you handled it is perfection my guy. "no big deal we dropped it" 😂👌🏻👍🏻thank you. your content is amazing sorry to the guy that came up with the idea and the writing flashing across he probs thought it was cool af 😂
Connecting the inner and outer air chambers would probably just create the world's most expensive whoopee cushion...😆
I love that nobody else is doing this artist not in my TH-cam free no one is.
Keep that shit up big Brody
Thank you again brother for another great video. I was curious to see what the shoe was made if as well. Now, can you show me how to out the shoe back together? I fillowed you step by step, now i need to reverse it. 👍👍👍
Would love to see adidas boost or Yeezy
I have bad feet pain and adidas boost seems to be only brand that helps me out . But very curious what’s inside and your opinion on them . And if there is any reg adidas boost that compares to Yeezy boost .
My problem is they are squeaky... When i walk, it sounds like the $1 kids slipper that have a squeaky feature... I still love it though.
Thanks brother I appreciate the effort and work you put in ! :)
I'm begging you, for Moctober '22 do a comparison of East coast style style moccasins. There are so many brands that charge an arm and a leg, let's see if they're worth it. I dying to see Yuketen, Rancourt, Anxynt, Russell, and Quoddy cut in half and exposed.
I would LOVE for u to do any Nike Kyrie shoes and, or Nike adapt shoes. Nike Adapt Auto Max maybe? Or the Nike Kyrie 5,6,7, or 8. I believe most of Kyrie's are leather and textiles. Would LOVE to see EXACTLY what the textiles even are!
As a casual hiker who prefers hiking in trail running shoes over traditional hiking boots, I'm a bit interested in looking at what's inside different hiking boots, trail shoes, trail running shoes, etc. if there really is a difference between brands and which would be more durable.
I'm looking for an 8in moc toe steel toe work boot. I'm looking at the Thorogood or the Danner. What would you suggest please?
So grateful for the sale!
Green screen didn't hurt my feelings. Keep up the great work.
I already got the triple black and was waiting the xxxv to drop to go cop one more but you just saved me dude
I have a pair of Nike VM Airmax that I got for free that are retailed at 350 bucks. I'm also a medically retired veteran and I will say that they are by FAR the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. They save my knees so much pressure when walking (Which is a big deal considering I've had 14 surgeries on just one of them) and nearly hides my limp. (Which is slight to begin with but still). I don't know if it's the particular shoe or type but if something were to happen to those shoes I would buy another pair. Which is saying something because the thought of paying even 150 dollars for a pair of shoes is insane to me, lol.
Rebox pumps. Cool vid. Thank you for sharing
THAT DISCOUNT CODE!! hahaha longest in history! love your reviews and humor and also keep the green screen!! It adds a fun element of humor & visual info to the videos! 👏🏾👏🏾💗 ps: love the 90s nickelodeon home goods reference!
Some cool running tech shoes to review:
Adidas UltraBoost 21 (Boost tech) - casual runner
Nike Pegasus 37 (air chamber & 2 diff foams) - Casual Runner
Nike ZoomX VaporFly Next% (reinforced carbon plate midfoot) - Marathon shoe
Great review
A Nike Metcon review would be very interesting specifically followed by rebook nanos and the nobull CrossFit shoes.
Great content!
I love these series, the tech is so interesting!
"short kings" 🤣 I love this guy so much
You shoud try "on cloud" they're great and have a lot of variety, might not be sold in the US
Would love to see you do a teardown of some of some luxury brands leather shoes like Zegna, Tods, and more.
You should make a series about military boots- some constructions are extremely interesting ;)
Not sure if anyone suggested Oliver wb34 series lace up boots but they are my go to work boot in construction and i have tried a few other reputable brands but always come back to olivers would love to see what your opinion is on them cheers
As someone who used to work in a clothing factory I can easily tell that this shoe costs anywhere between 10-40$ for materials (way less in vn). It wont last more than 4-6 months with minimum use ... not worth buying them at all . . .
Thoroughly enjoy these teardowns of shoes and boots. I haven't seen everything you've done yet but working on it. I'd like to make a suggestion for a teardown...this brand, Shoes for Crews, is geared towards industry. I've had a few pairs if their Ace work boots and have been curious about their construction. I would love to hear your take on their Redrock work boot.
