About "Italian sneakers", could you get original 1989 Travel Fox High tops and compare them to today's re-releases? I had them in high school and would love to see if the new re-release is the same as the original ones

Everybody doesnt hate the jordan 2. It has massive collabs with off white, a ma maniare dornbecker, etc

Don't know about Jordans, but sure as hell everyone hates Raid.

♥️Rose♥️ , I don’t know if you’ve ever done the classic 1968 model Puma Suede but if you have I can’t find it. It be really cool if u can perhaps compare all the similar suede leather sneakers to see which is the best in your view please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Origin Maine is a American made boot company that started up in recent year. Can you do a video on their boot?

The Jordan 2 was well received for our generation. During the 2000's, it became trendy to dislike them.

😂😂😂

Coming from another Old Guy, most of the people I knew were still wearing the 1’s in the original OG color ways…a friends father was a Nike Rep, so we got 1’s for like $32.50 after his discount..it took the 3’s w the air window and elephant print that finally got us away from the 1’s… After 35 years of J’s, the 3’s are still my favorite 🤘🏽

I bought them in 5th grade, and i bought them again as an adult. better than the 1 and 3, imo...

The 2s are classic with a lux blend on it not for everyone at present they are retroed as designer items and very expensive.

Completely agree!! Something about the 2 when it came out totally got me!! I couldn’t afford it back then but I just thought it was so different than anything I had ever seen. And I love the fact it was the only shoe that never had the swoosh on it!! I bought an early reissue for my collection and it still is my absolute favorite!!

I think it's different for our generation. We were on the scene for every (new) release. We anticipated every Jordan release ever since the 1's. Our generation purchased for likes, not hype.

Exactly,same for me,they looked different daring and leftfield,specially the black sole ones and had no swoosh Also they were the prelude to the other Jordans that came afterwards that were also oddballs in a way

My problem with 2s is that the midsole starts to drink water through the bottom

Me 2

think it was moved to dec 22. Either way can’t wait

I remember i definite better quality years ago I'm talking 20/25. Could be the old rose tinted glasses pun not intended.

dang that's sad.

You legally have to do the last stage of the production and it needs to be "sostanziale" (substantial). The definition of substantial is then defined industry by industry. In shoemaking you can have the clicking and closing done elsewhere (as well as the tanning) but you need to do the bottom-making in locally. Pretty much like Made in England shoes. In general Made in Italy is more similar to Made in Germany or Swiss Made rather than Made in the USA where the amount of domestic labour required is far higher. I think Wes covered it a little during the white sneakers series in 2020.

It's like the Italian olive 🫒 oil that comes from Spain, Greece or Portugal. It's all pure marketing.

Complete bullocks.

indeed, and it is often the Chinese who make these shoes in Italy these days

No 3 eh? Personally never owned the 3 but man did I wish I did. I remember literally looking at my friends feet constantly that had them. lol The ones you mentioned were game changers.

@@mikec1554 friend of mine had the 3 (hell, he had all of them)& said they were crazy comfortable but I couldn't play ball in them at all

@@mikec1554 man I never understood the appeal of the 3 until I started wearing one recently when I bought the cardinal red. And it just goes so we'll witg many of my fits, very comfortable and The silhouette and styling is just so nice. And just like the Jordan 1 they suck to actually play basketball in if your used to more modern shoes. And I'm someone that's usually a big fan if the 6-14 the 1 ,2,4,5 never had much appeal to me

Jordan 3

You mean 4-8.

I hope to see 312s

needs to do jordan 4s, the best looking silhouette imo

@@treyno9764 yeah 3,4,5,10,11,12,13 would be great to see bc I’m not too much a fan of the 6-9s but if he did at least 3-5 would be cool. I don’t know if anybody else who reviews shoes like him and actually shows what we buy not just talking about the name brand and whatever Nike tells you

@@jacobyoung4657 Nobody needs to see the 312s for anything.

Have you seen the other Nike breakdowns? You aren't going to see big differences between these things, they're all constructed pretty damn similarly. Frankly, I hope boot & niche footwear breakdowns pick back up because mainstream sneakers are boring - they're all the same couple variations of cheap ass overpriced junk(I say this as a long time Nike wearer & current owner; objective statement rather than subjective).

Not true. That's the myth. We'll see when the Sonny Vicarro documentary comes out. He always wanted to go to Adidas. He even used the Jordan 2 outsole on the Jordan 1 because he liked the support.

Stop spreading lies, hypebeast

@@3d1k3 people read stuff on the internet and just run with it not knowing the facts. Jordan had some of his best performances wearing the 2s actually

@@3d1k3 either way Jordan didn’t care for the Jordan 2, that’s why he was leaving Nike, literally said he was leaving Nike in his Book. It was Tinker Hatfield’s Jordan 3 model that he showed Michael with Phil Knight on the golf course that Michael decided to stay.

@@3d1k3 interesting who is sonny vicarro?

they are gorgeous shoes

@@ThePervertedHymns I think the low top versions look better, but yeah they’re nice shoes.

@@YovngLord true but I still like the lows. Wish I still had my pair.

@@Gaant they look way worse too me

@@yuhjeice7186 As a low top? I guess. Either way it’s still a nice shoe. I think the next pair I get will be the Union 2s.

I'm a big fan of the black toe 1s, black metallic 5s, playoff 8s, and black toe 14s

I always HATED 11s’ because of the patent leather. I actually just grabbed the 72-10s’ because fuck it. All black with that creamy outsole 😍 I was blown away by how comfortable they are. A pair of 11s’ would be cool to chop up and see what’s inside

🔥🔥🔥, I just ordered the AMM3

@@nick5422Congrats! You'll definitely like them. Great message behind the shoe, really good quality and they're just a great shoe.

@@HomeGrownKicks thanks, I’m really hyped!

@@nick5422 Man you got me excited for you lol. If you find the time, when they come in let me know what you think.

@@HomeGrownKicks will do 🔥🔥

Repent and follow Jesus! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

Seriously. I don't even know what's supposed to be so "ugly" about them - they're fine. In fact, they're probably a little bland if anything. And, as we know, there's no bigger crime in 2022 than being bland(aka, not as offensively 'unique' as possible). Except for being bland ironically, because irony is peak "cool" in 2022 obviously.

@@RyTrapp0 While they are a little bland (just like they were back then), I do think Nike is making a mistake by not releasing any regular versions of the shoe, and only focusing on collabs.

They always looked like Puma, Converse, and Reeboks. I find it amusing when people say they like them but literally 30 years of collecting and I have only seen a handful of people wear them until 2020.

The jordan 2 you mentioned that got its laces covered is called the "nu jordan 2s". It came out somewhere in the early 2000's i remember.

How do you know that?

@@IblewuponyourfaceIII Well, i was kinda fed up with the whole sneaker thing, its just always the same thing with different colors or slightly different materials...i mean, they're all just made in the same factories in Asia...and i also supinate quite badly when i walk and couldnt find a sneaker that suited me or stopped my heal from tilting outwards. My friend's grandpa told me about Mephisto shoes because they are anatomically correct and have great support. I looked into them and loved the story. I got two pairs and am super happy with them. The quality is just Awesome. They're super durable and the leather is like, thick. I dont actually have the Match myself, I'm trying to get it because its like, the iconic shoe (along with the Cruiser), the stuff above is just what i know about it, but i can't because they're sold out everywhere in Europe. And buying from the US is too expensive. They're like, the opposite of what a Nike or an Adidas is.

false: jordan 1 has crap and fake leather for most models. The truth is Jordan Brand is inconsistent in their quality. Sneaker heads know how you cant trust Jordan Brand at all no matter the model on materials. Newer models however use almost exclusively synthetic materials because of performance tech breakthroughs and thus not scrutinized as much while the retros are usually a cash grab or not.

I have all 12 Jordans and by far 2 is the best of them.

@@JABelms Right now I have 1s, 2s, 6s, 11s, and MA2s(honeydew).The MA2s are on par with the best retros. The materials are plush.

Check out Foot Doctor Zach

Nope

You mean like all the Jordan’s after this? 😂😂😂

@@fioredeutchmark I guess so, yeah. I don't know anything about Jordans or sneakers in general tbh. Even if the others didn't have the swoosh, some at least had the Jordan silhouette or something that made them look more unique. This one just looks very generically ugly.

Definitely not underrated... In Jordan catalogue maybe but not when looking at any other brand
