Are Adidas Stan Smith's good for skating? 

I forgot to mention that I find these run large. I wear a 10.5 in Nike and Vans but wear a 10 in these.

honestly his skating level can still get him sponsored in 2020

its not the shoe. its the skater. however, i think it would be a great series, if you did non-skate shoes like these. it would be cool to just have a pair of shoes that you can use for daily purposes, including skating...

Who here actually doesn't care about the shoe and just wants to see ben skate

I'll never forget buying a pair of Stan Smith from "Zellers" for my Canadian Homies back in 92 for 11 bucks lol! That leather was so thick and stiff, barely even marked them😂😂

my school made us do PE with those... so I ended up skating in them. Not good, not bad. I skated just fine. But PE teacher got mad every time she saw a broken lace. never skated "the new ones"... the cupsole is different now, the shape reminds me of those XLK cupsoles great vid btw!!!!!

Better than most skate shoes

So nobody’s gonna bring up how steezy 2:30 was??

When the skate version came out a few years ago I was pumped and bought a couple pairs, by far my favorite shoes. The soles were so grippy and the shoe itself was so light and flexible straight out of the box. I WISH the brand with 3 stripes would re-issue them again in both the navy and green colorway. My b for the rant I just really loved that shoe lol.

Been waiting all weekend for a new video!

Ben, the tip about crazy glue on your laces has been amazing. I was going through laces every couple of sessions. Now I'm getting close to the life of the shoe.

I was on your channel yesterday seeing if you did a review for regular stan smiths. then today this happens. lets gooo!

I got these with the straps no worry about laces and extra protection from the board smashing the top of your foot plus super easy on and off more skateshoes should be Velcro straps...

i’m skating the superstan right now, which is basically a superstar but has the dotted stripes instead of the regular ones. i’m really enjoying them.

You gotta do the Tyshawn next

I skated countless pairs of white Stan smiths back in the day! That original sole lasts forever

I would love to see you rocking some bulky old school és shoes they re-released, that would be so awesome. I also think they would last way longer.

Nice dude! I forgot about that footage at Quils. Turned out great. Stoked to see the nollie 3.

A street part with the grovy music would be a blessing. I for one as well as plenty of others I'm sure would thoroughly enjoy that 😉 😊

Wanna thank you so much for inspiring me to start my own channel. Just did my first review and even though I know its bad I learned a lot. Going to keep working on it.

I love missing a couple uploads and then watching them all at once

Classic, shoes look great skated and you were crushing it.

I'm 63 and used to wear Stan Smiths for tennis and all-around wear. My adult kids now wear Stan Smiths, and I've noticed that the leather uppers seem much cheaper grade of leather than the originals (from back in the mid-1970s). Your assessment of how easily the soles wear down is the same as my experience. You may have tried the Adidas Super Stars before? The soles seam to wear a bit better/longer than the Stan Smith, FYI.

Great video again Ben. And nice advice u gave regarding the shoe lashes to add glue to stop lashes to be break. Thank you.

My favorite lo top in early 90s. Even sprayed painted them black

worked just fine in the 90's and always were true to size for me....

It’s dark and wet outside right now, but god do I want to go skate. I’ll take solace in Ben’s videos for the night

Hey Ben did you get a gimbal for your camera the skate montage in the middle of the video looked really clean

Yes the skate version has the fuzzy mustache on the tongue. You copped the super GR footlocker stan smiths rather than the adidas originals version with the thin tongue and real leather. I’ve owned 10+ pairs since the refresh

Sheeeesh that half cab noseslide 270 was steeeezy🔥

Its amazing to see how you've gained mass following now Ben! Awesome stuff and hoping one day I can meet up and skate with you. Remember watching your videos and seeing only yourself to that whole parking lot but its amazing to see so many more people skating!

Thanks Ben, again awesome video! Always happy to see you post!

I skated these for a good 3 weeks & had the exact same problem with the outsole, I found them at first super hard to any flick tricks as well

Thanks for the videos, got me back into skating. And helped me with drywall!! You’re the man 👌

I've liked the look of these since that Nestor Judkin's commercial but I don't really mess with white shoes

Hey Ben i love your vids i would Like to See a Video about cleaning bearings and different techniches like boiling, a toothbrush or using spiritus. I Really struggle with that because i can t afford new ones.

i remember having these and also a running shoe type model, it had more of a foamy sole, skated just as good.

all insoles can be removable. some just suck more than others to remove (i.e. vans classics). i removed the sewn in insole on a pair of vans exp slip ons. that sucked, but much better with fp insoles.

Rad...dude you should really try to get a sesh in with Andy Anderson....would be epic. He’s always hanging with NKA vids crew...🤙🏻

Great!! perfect casual shoe and when it gets old you can skate them! !

I got a pair of Mark Gonzales shiney graphical ones and couldn't skate them at all. Still wear them but they're stiff and won't break in. Got them at Kona and they got soaked in water retrieving my soaked board in the bowl. Kinda wish I never skated them. Ben could shred in ProWings if he had to!

Classic shoe, looks too nice I could never skate mine lol

I remember buying them at Zellers in the 90's.

You should try Tyshawns model if you want extra ankle support. Great shoe in general too 😁

Great video bro, I was thinking on buying a Adidas Superstar to skate, the Stan Smith looks too thin idk

Nollie big heel at quilz😍

Good filming on this one too... was your son skating and filming or did someone else film this one?

Great looking shoe. Happy thanksgiving

3:51 How it was shot and how it was done. Rad

i skated these waaaay back in 93

Me too, after one or two kickflips, i like warming up to a good nollie big heel on a euro gap ! ;)

Man those pants look sick!

I never understood how people heelflip with their toes hanging off the board like that. I always whiff when I try it, my normal heelflip position is same as kickflips

nike sb dunks are my number 1 skate shoes. cupsole for life!

What pants are those? I can never find light pants that look good or that aren't too tight. My whole wardrobe is full of darks >

I have the same colorway and I just wear them as my casual non skate and non work shoes

Those are like 20$ on sale in Australia

Do a JART deck review pls. Thank you! keep up the good work!

Hey, Ben! I’d like to make some shoe suggestions for future videos. I know you have an affinity for white shoes, so how about the DC Pure, DVS Enduro 125, or Enduro Heir? Or if you want to do another “non-skate shoe”, how about the Puma Suede Classic?

That park looks sick!

I'm currently skating these shoes and they are awesome

I saw some in goodwill a few months ago in my size, thought about grabbing them but I didn’t

Hi Ben could you tell me that sweet spot at 2:45 ? Or if anyone else knows pls! I'm looking for a good skate spot as it will get rainy and cold soon ! Thank you! Love your channel Ben !

Chinese Proverb: If old doesn’t go, new won’t come. :)

Whenever i see that shoe i instantly think of Richard Angelides.. on the side note are the 8.0" decks the new 7.5s now? Got me thinkin, lol

Yo Stan's kick ass. I've skated three pairs from the ogs to the reissues, only Quam is just the price point. Otherwise great shoes they break in real nice 🧙🏽‍♂️

I like your review of a non skate shoes, even if i never find those on my size. I used to skate Nike Dunk, the og version! In early 2000, for me they were better than a lot of « skate » shoes! Plus, i was able to find it for cheap!

When he said a bunch of skate shoes were modeled out of these, I immediately thought of the Leo Romero Leo II's. Did you guys think of any other shoes?

I been skating a regular pair of white leather jack purcells and they’ve lasted forever

Over all looks like a good design

Classics! Nice review Ben 💯💯💯

Should’ve tried the vegan ones! I saw on Miles Silvas’s story he was skating them the other day.

ben is that underground flatground/ curb spot in vancouver somewhere?

Hella good quality content 👌🏼

Jesus 80 on sale I find these alot at Ross for 30 at lowest

Ben try to go to a addias outlet, i consistently find stan smiths there for under 50$ USD all the time.

I'm surprised you liked these, since you hated skating in standard Superstars, which you compared to moon boots. The midsole/padding are about the same in those two--I've skated both many times. Have your shoe sensibilities changed since you skated standard Superstars?

What deck you ridding these days? Still with the 8.25's? That looks like a pretty blunt nose and tail.

Hey. You live Van? That underground is near my house. Just bought a board after 17 years. We should meet up for a session. It’s Dave Bar from Victoria.

Imagine having a storage of shoes to skate

I saw this video then bought a pair at Marshalls for $30. Thank you

can you skate my shoes in? dont have the patients to do it but want it.

Since you cant change the insoles, how do they handle impact/cushioning?

Nice part Ben. Addidas sponsor comin

Alot of non skate sneakers are nice sometimes lol

I like them! Alot but I just don't like the boardfeel

please do the samba OGs im curious how those hold up

What park is that at the beginning

👍👍👍

Where is the spot @3:08?

hey ben try the adidas grand court they skate great

Hey man, what are those black carhartt pants you wore during this video? Like whats the name of em? Thnx men
