I don’t know if he asked you yet, but I bet he’s gonna ask you to make sheath’s for his custom knives 🔪 if not you better suggest it could be a good business relationship!
Walmart used to have Avia brands lowest price $40 all around trail running shoe before the brand went for an even cheaper price clone on a Adidas and/or Nike model in a few models, cheap casual shoes, and low end running shoes. Walmart in 2000's had a Starter model they were selling where was like a real running shoe on lower end closer to an old racing model from Nike. Now more and more Walmart is going cheaper and cheaper
Back in the 00's my town didn't have many clothing stores, but our Co-op and Henry's Western Wear (Henry was an old Chinese guy) both sold FUBU, and Henry even wore FUBU.
That's exactly why I didn't wear it. It was their response to Tommy Hilfigers racist remark. He tried to say he never said that on Oprah, but we will never know. Some don't buy it.
Can you review the Shaq shoes! he posted a click talking about how his leathers and shoes are made well in a podcast and id love to see you review them
@masonboard he's a good businessman and if you look up his business investments the products are not just a hyped money grab but decent looks , functional and affordable quality vs any other celeb , he does more than put his name on shyt for cash
My son and I go back and forth buying each other these cheap shoes as gag gifts at Christmas/birthdays etc. He got me some FUBU high tops that mimicked Air Jordans. I could feel the voids in the mid sole just by pressing my finger on them. I wore them around the house for a few days and then went on a walk one day in them. Two of the walls between the voids in the heal broke and it rubbed a hole in my heal after the insole failed. I was about two miles from home and it rubbed the most horrible blister on my heal I have ever had. I threw them away when I got home. I have had an ugly pair of AND1 high tops for about two years that I wear pretty regularly to work on the car or do things I don't want to mess up my good shoes doing. They are legitimately nice and are comfortable and are holding up surprisingly well. They are made from the skin of the cheapest fake leather couch found in any dumpster, but I secretly like them. I just wish they were not so ugly.
I had a pair of AND1 high tops from the start of grade 7 all the way through to almost the end of grade 10. I loved them. Maybe not the highest quality considering they were like $20 or so at the time, but they looked good and were reasonably comfortable. Kinda wish I didn't outgrow them. I've since filled that hole in my heart with newer and nicer Adidas high tops.
Funny you should mention air walks. About 5 years ago I bought my first ever pair of air walks at a store going out of business sale. The were awesome, great looking shoe, felt alright. Fast forward a month and they were wearing alot on the sole tread, another month and you could literally see through the bottom of the shoe ( a hole the size of a half dollar) I ripped them apart and literally they had cardboard in them for the honeycomb structure. Yep, never again.
I have 3 year old walmart tennis shoes. They are lightweight flexible. And seemingly indestructible. Wear them daily and they just wont wear out. Paid 15$
RU-vidrs dissected and criticized Walmart bikes for years and now the bikes have gotten way better at a low price point. Hopefully Walmart footwear can follow suit
@@Mister_Phafanapolisit's not that deep, it's just a brand. If you really let a brand tell you what to do like that, you should grow a backbone or something
That's so cool that demo sponsored you! I actually came from the knife collecting hobby to the boot world. I've got 6 pairs of boots now. It's been 5 months....
I just noticed the Knocked Loose tee. Haha I knew it! You were a cool dude already and I’m a hardcore kid from the 90’s. I saw that and it all made sense. Killer vid as usual my guy, been watching for a longtime now. 💪🏽
It’s a little off topic for this video but I’d love to see more low end sub $150 work boots like maybe some lower end Carolina boots and maybe find out what the best boot is in that price range
Walmarts Avia running shoes are actually really good, the soles just wear out quicker than a name brand. Comfort wise and style wise they’re actually really nice.
Ngl, as a knife guy it makes me so jealous that you get demko knives. Those are some of the best knives. I would consider them the whites or nicks of knives.
@VGK702 sadly the only "demkos" I can afford are the cold steel ones, but I had the ad10 ad15 and several more demko designs. Someday I'll get a real demko
If you want to make one more Dunk video, I highly suggest looking at the Dunk Low SP pairs that came out around 2020 (St.John, Kentucky, Syracuse). Those were only released originally in Tier Zero stores and boutiques, which meant they were extremely limited. Those pairs were the ones that led to the Dunk becoming hyped during that time. The leather on those doesn't have the thick plasticky coating they started putting on all the dunks once they started mass producing them. They re released in 2023, so you can find them now for a reasonable price. The opposite though goes for the Air Jordan 1 85. The first few pairs definitely had the correct thicker leather used in 1985, but they ruined them by giving them the plasticky leather finish. But the more recent pairs, (which nobody wants so you can buy for retail), those they have fixed the leather finish on them so they feel and wear in a million times better than say the Neutral Grey AJ1 85.
At least with Nike shoes you won't get much of bargain. I saw a lightly used pair of Nike Air Max 90 shoes at Goodwill for $55. I would have almost bought them but at Ross you can get new Nike Air Max 90 shoes for $65.
The Walmart Fubu Dunks maybe cost about less than 1$ to produce. If they last only about one month theoretically you would need 12 pairs a year for 252-$ which is a lot. Instead of that you could buy two pairs of 120-$ shoes which will last more than a year.
Cool video. I recall when we were young, my parents would have us get shoes worth between 15 and 25 euro. And yeah, we did feel that raster after a while. I think my sister once lost her entire sole because the glue was gone. If I had kids of my own, I'd go for shoes like this as well. Yeah, they're not as durable as and maybe if your kid destroys 5 of them in a year, it may be worth getting them more expensive shoes.
When most people pick up a commonly used titanium alloy they expect aluminium alloy type of lightness, nah it isn't you'd have to compare to something like 304 stainless to feel how light it is for its volume.
Those FUBUs are hideous. 😂 You should get your hands on the recent Dunk "Ultraman" release. Genuinely nice leather, in my opinion. Also, Knocked Loose shirt is a WIN, sir.
Please do a skateshoe review! They mostly seem to have better quality then the "standard" shoes. For example The Nike SB Janoski OG+, the Adidas Busenitz, Nike SB Ishod 2, Vans Ave 2.0, New Balance Numeric 808 Tiago, éS Accel.
I would like to see you cut some "Temu" knock off shoes. Example: I have some knockoff New Balance 574 shoes from DHGate. And some generic white running shoes from Temu that look like Nike Internationalist running shoes. Both are comfortable, but very cheaply made.
If you want to review a truly high quality boot, get a pair of Salomons, specifically their Military line, a top choice for special forces and units that can pick their gear. The quest 4d gtx, the prime forces, and the xa pro v8 3d ignites i wear landscaping year round in michigan. Stitch reenforced leather, non reflective materials, anti slip vibram, 4d chassis (think thats their proprietary shank) , solid goretex. I truely believe state of the art. I can guarantee u wont find a better boot at the weight then the Primes or Quest 4ds. There may be slight tiny leaks at some stitching somewhere but alittle wax and mud and they are bomb proof. Only actual complaint i can reasonably say is the outsole wears quicker then id like, but i walk 10 miles a day through mud rocks pavement everyday. They have an entire line you could do a series on.
@@onrdetailingnews802 "are the fubu's better then the Nike dunks? No not even close" and "you would pry be better off saving your money and buying something else" I guess he disagrees with you
What is amazing is that you could spend the same amount as you would on the Fubu’s and buy a pair of replica dunks from China that are built even better than the Nike original (depending on source). Walmart is basically taking the same cost cutting strategy Nike is, they are just starting much lower on the quality scale.
Id be interested in seeing some Vasque hiking boots cut in half. I have a pair of the Elias model, and I'm disappointed in the durability they are offering. they are less than a year old and are falling apart.
I have an old pair of Vasques where the sole delaminated. That said, they are at least 25 years old and I've been thinking about getting them fixed.... Bought a pair of Technica boots as they have very little breakin and I needed a pair fast.
I was told FUBU was For Us By Us in the 90s in response to the Tommy Hilfiger rumor. That's why I never bought fubu for obvious reasons. Did I have it wrong all these years, or did it change?
Test the 2015 Pinnacle Jordan 1 Vachetta tan. They have a few pairs on stockx. It's by far the best leather Nike ever used in a shoe. All veg tan and has full leather inside. Really curious how it compares to high end sneakers.
I'm all for this, if 21 bucks doesn't jack up your feet then why not. Wearing these daily, like any casual shoe, will last about a year before heading to the dump.
Please try reviewing copy dunks, personally I love the pandas and I got a really cheap one for less than $10 (currency exchange) and they feel pretty good if changed the insole.
I’m curious about Shaq’s shoe line. I’m not a consumer for them, but I am curious since he chose to have his shoes sold there vs taking a deal with a big shoe company.
Will five pairs of Walmart Dunks last as long as one pair of Nike Dunks ? If durability and long lasting is your only aim (as this channel seems to focus on) then it might be better to buy plastic shoes.
