Everyone who listens to our podcast knows we are huge Asics fans. Given a chance to try the new Gel Flexkee 2.0, and also having tried the 1.0 and 958 versions, I felt the urge to do a review. It is an interesting shoe I am often asked about, and im here to list the positives and negatives of the shoe. How does it skate? Take a look and find out.

Ngl you’re really making me want to try a pair. I will say the all black sole blend with the 2.0 looks a lot more welcoming when comes to the sole/ shoe design Always appreciate the knowledge Steve

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

They skated well. And yeah the sole all one color is a huge improvement

@gunpla_sk8 4 месяца назад

Awesome break down Steve, definitely want more color ways of this model an all black would be perfect

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

All black with white logos and it would be insane

Nike ecue and url were ridiculed when they came out. They skated great. So I'm assuming the same with these. Japan rocked the ecue and url hard! Side note. I've been watching trioligy non stop, especially Gino, Lavar and Kareem parts so your outro reminded me to watch it again.😂

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

These grip better than I remember the ecue gripping

@eddym54 4 месяца назад

@deadonarrival2882 they were not that grippy, but then again, I could skate club cs and af1, so my opinion on grip is invalid.

As Always, brutally honest and we love it. Surprising to hear the lacing changed the shoes feel and aesthetic that much. I might have missed it but are the shoes tts or should I size down?

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

I took .5 up. I’m a 9 and wear 9.5. I did have it in text during the video.

@ishwav 4 месяца назад

1.0 looks way better honestly.

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

Up close these look way better made. I can’t stand the silk screened on logo on the original

@ishwav 4 месяца назад

@@deadonarrival2882 nah. The 1.0 had a function for the offset lace thing and had an original silhouette. The 2.0 look like a last resort busenitz hybrid with a shell toe. They should’ve kept the original design. But hey! That’s just my opinion. Maybe everyone else will love it!

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

@@ishwavthe 1.0 is definately more indestructible in design

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

@@ishwav I do think the 1.0 looked more original. This one looks more like a take of a traditional shoe with features of the 1.0. I like it better but would rather a Japan pro any day

Every pair of shoes I wear Must have a rubber toe cap. Walking through snow, wet grass, a drizzle... my shoes aren't just for skateboarding. I want my feet to feel as awesome as can be. Squishy soggy toes really harsh my mellow.

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

This may be your dream shoe

@andrewwinkelmeyer6503 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the video mate.

@aronrosas4191 4 месяца назад

The asic slip on looks proper especially in all black, the soles on this model looks too technical which drives the price up IMO.

@ballgameshoes8583 4 месяца назад

Haven't seen lace flaps since the artificial turf shoes of the 80's. I missed those shoes.

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i like them. def look like an indoor soccer shoe, which have always been popular in skating. do you think you could flip the tongue forward but under the laces?

@Dirtsurf187 4 месяца назад

Currently skating a pair of these and that’s exactly what I did. The tongue can tuck between the seams on each side and you can tie the laces over the tongue. Makes them feel a bit more mellow especially if you lace them through the eyelets. Great shoe and could probably survive a nuclear bomb.

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

Oh my god. That works!

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i just get irritated when soles wear out way before the upper. it's on me lately with the way i skate, doing more curbs and foot scooting stuff than ollies and flip tricks.

@BeardedDante 4 месяца назад

I wanna see the shoe blacked out 🤔

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

Same. I think that would be amazing

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i like the smaller logo. i didn't dislike the look of the first ones

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

I also like the smaller logo. I think I have a bigger issue with the soccer lace flap than anything else

@gabriel__drake 4 месяца назад

Can we get a video of the shoes completely wrecked and your thoughts after skating them for x amount of time?

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

It makes sense and I would love to do it, but being an older skater and these things being bulletproof, I’m not sure how long these would take and I really enjoy skating in the Japan and gel vickka. With that said, I’m up for a challenge

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i like when shoes have the zig-zag stitching in a visible area

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

It’s a cool little addition for sure

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i usually do bottom lace from the outsides and all the rest from the inside

@deadonarrival2882 4 месяца назад

The outside lace holes just didn’t let the shoe hug my foot properly

@mitchheartless 4 месяца назад

Dawg it’s one or the other we aren’t crossing the streams here 🤣

@diplenski 4 месяца назад

i just meant generally. i probably would prefer the look of the outer ones laced, but i hate broken laces. so if they give me a way to avoid it i will take it.
