i loved asics outside of skateboarding, so when I heard the news I was psyched. also you got a great style very smooth.

Great review man. This is what I wanna see. Not just a kickflip test lmao. All these shoe reviews with just kickflips is killing me. You hit every point I’m looking for in a review ✅

I just got Nike ishad shoes, first shoe that wasnt a vans or dvs. After skating traditional brands since 92 i was quite impressed on the comfort. Who knew you can have a good skate shoe and still have comfort

They remind me of the Adidas Busenitz signature and especially the Busenitz vintage line. Cant wait for my Asics to be delivered! Nice vid homie

Love the Gel-Vickka Pro. I skated in them for a few months, and I agree that it fits like a glove, no break-in, and excellent board feel. The Gel-Flexkee was my first shoe and I rode them exclusively for 5 months. Now onto the Japan Pro ... but first need to rehab from a bad ankle sprain.

Asics always has a classic look so cool to see them enter the skate market. Def has potential esthetic. Hopefully, they make some classic comfy shoes.

What a new board did I miss that vid na I don't think so I try to watch as soon as a new one post keep pushing love the channel

I lived in Japan for a bit, I skated ASICS Tigers there. They were an indoor soccer shoe by design, but skated similar to an Adidas Samba or Stan Smiths. This was 98’ Bless up DB, keep it poppin’ I’m 45 and still keep it movin’ much respect

Come chill with the sultry sounds of dad board!!!😂 love the chill music vibe in this one and can’t wait to hear how the last, I’m very intrigued by them.

From new balance to asics. Dad shoe mode activated

skating these i feel like i have a new angle on my skateboard with all the extra board feel! it was weird at first but feeels so nice to have the extra control! going from skating dunks and big shoes to this is a game changer!

They look cool on foot

Thanks for the review brother . I've been super interested in the acisics skate shoes . God bless and peace .

Dad board and Dad shoes collide. We're all having a mid life crisis 😭

They look like they fit similar to Globe Octave Mids, which have been my favourite shoe for skating forever, and which I can no longer find except used at ridiculous mark ups, so I’m really looking forward to skating these, and a lot.

I like those shoes they look tight. Seen some Japanese skaters wearing these in a contest recently.

Looking forward to seeing the follow-up review. I've been skating the Vans Rowan shoes for 2 weeks and am loving them. No break-in period, my flip tricks instantly felt better. Had always skated quite high shoes 'til now. Liking the mobility of the new ones.

Really nice review. Waiting for these to come in Brazil. Don't forget to drink a loooooot of water, juices and coconut water, those are the best to rehidrate.

I bought these after watching your review and they were really good until the flick area wore away. I had such a consistent flick that went away after the sides were shaved down. At this point still skate fine for most tricks but flip tricks are frustrating. Going to try the Japan S Pro

That's a nice Dead shirt homie! Also these shoes do like nice, but I'm still madly in love with my 440 Highs and I've got a pair of 1010's I'm using as chillers that will be my next skate shoe.

I love how my favorite cross country shoes is now making shoes for my favorite sport!!

Awesome video first video I’ve seen on these! Definitely going to have to give asiscs a try if makes me think of kill bill hahaha

Bolts dude👍My take on favorite shoes: buy 2 pair, especially if the price is right. Heats everywhere man..Stay cool peeace

Great review I appreciate the information and insight.

i need them so bad, the toe box looks like the perfect shape. i used to skate campus vulcs exclusively for the big fat toe box

I wish Adidas would sort their sizing out! Looking at their website it tells you whether to size up or down from your regular size. Why can't they just make the sizes correctly. 😅

skated a pair of Hi-Tec badminton shoes back in 1994..suede upper with gum bottom..

Dad sneakers finally have a skate shoe of their own, you gotta love it 😂

Man those seem great. Nice profile. I am looking for a wide toe box tho, could you recommend me some?

Gino Navy/Navy are dropping in October incase you were wondering

Thanks for the helpful review. I think my local got a restock of these and they got a coupon code I can use

If ASICS could make a wide option for all their skate shoes like they do running shoes they are set for blast off 🚀

What makes these cupsoles? Is it the thickness and shape of the sole? That style looks like what I thought vulcanized shoes were, so I guess I still have it wrong. I thought cupsoles were the tall puffy DC / Osiris / Etnies looking shoes whereas vulcs were your Vans Old Skool / Emerica Reynolds / Converse One Star style. I don't need an answer from the channel, persay. I'm just asking whoever knows because I have it wrong. Seems like this might actually be one of those classic skatepark debates, too.

Those Asics look sweet, sound super comfortable. Had no idea Asics made a skate shoe. I have a wider foot/toe box+high arch, the Vans Kyle Walker's I have are so comfortable, but Id like to try something new, mainly to preserve the pair I have. I like the look of New Balances but they're kinda tight fitting, wish they had a wider foot selection, or maybe they do? Im gonna go up to zappos, see if they have wider options. Mahalo for the video!

Good job getting this review out as the drop is hitting stores. We have air quality warnings for wild fires so I feel the nighttime sessions :) Do you not run any 3rd party insoles? I like the FPs because I can skate a bit longer with them and I'm not depending on midsole for impact protection any more. Hence I can ride more vulcs recently. I had the Westgates though, they were great. I always liked the gel tech from Asics in their runners but I'm one of the people kinda put off by big biz brand moves in skateboarding. The over the top protection shoe they put out with this season of shoes is pretty funny in my opinion. But damn these look tight like sambas or bruins. #conflicted Thanks for the vid mate.

Great video

Those are slick. Very cool looking. Simple is so great of a style. Did Gino design these?

A little bit controversy about this brand to skate, so what about Lining with Erik Ellington or Cariuma, or another new shoe brand in the market? At the end of the day is just another shoe brand option to skate, you know that you're gonna ripping it anyways.💯👍

I think they look sick. You got skills. when watching I thought about the little things to make clips better, like no foot adjustments or weight shifts. If these little things were removed , maybe this is where style becomes so much greater. What do you think?

Japanese skate shoes, huh? Interested to see what you think.

I need some hoka skate shoes

great review!

I've worn assics tennysheos as my everyday for 6yrs I gotta get some

How is the toe box ? You've mentioned something about not being for those who like bulkier shoes/bigger toe box, but would you say this one is tight or just average ?

yes

asics are sick, they look like indoor soccer shoes. i went skating around midnight last night, it was 80 deg 85% humidity. posted edit, nothing impressive 😭

I saw you on Reddit... How are the ASICS holding up?!

super glue the stitches so they wont start falling apart.

I like my busenitz but this makes me want to try the asics! I do agree im tired of seeing the same thing under my feet as im partial to the black and gum busenit pros. I may look into this, hows the balls of your feet feel after a solid session?

Looks like an etnies windrow

i always wanted to try the westgates, but i'm cheap.

Where do you live if I was skating at 10:30 I would get robbed or a junkie talking to me so I have to leave I’m in LA

Still no sign of these hitting Europe yet.

Where can I get these?

This gotta be Arizona

Is that a new channel banner? Just noticed it😂

Nb 1010s

I'll prob be retired by the time these come to Australia haha

Way too expensive for the average rider in my opinion.

Dude… I don’t understand why all these major brands that come out with skate shoes look like the outsole is made of that cheap ass foam shit. New balance look like they’re also made of foam rubber. The shoes made my these companies look as if they will lose their shape fast and won’t last all that long. Looks like the outsole is made for low impact sport like tennis. I always feel tempted to try a major shoe company but then I seen them and they just don’t look right to me. Nike blazers look like footballs. Adidas are just not clean looking. No one is gonna make skate shoes like soletech. Everything these companies use as a claim to fame, is already in a etnies lo Mc rap. It’s half the price and last twice as long. Ascics shoe makers are used to making a shoe for runners so it’s safe to assume they’re flexible as hell which is good but they’re probably going to leave heel bruises if you’re jumping down shit.

way too expensive

Durability looks 👎

They all look like basic over priced shoes and the one thats tech isn't anything new if you've never seen lace protectors go look through etnies or any of the sole tech shoes surprised me guy like John hill freaked out over a feature like that and not realizing a lot of shoes already have them

i haven't been able to skate in like a month cause of the heat, the humidity is so bad where i live you just melt instantly
