I’m a shoe designer. I can tell you that the signature last resort shoe being discussed is made in a style that often referred to as “whole-cut” meaning most of the shoe is made of one piece of material (if you follow the main panel there’s only one seam at the heel with no other breaks). The main reason for doing this traditionally is for a clean minimal aesthetic but I guess an added benefit in a skate shoe would be the less seams there are the less seams there are to come apart. Laid flat this piece looks like a big U shape. This type of shoe is expensive to make as you can cut less of these big U shapes from one piece and material, it’s cheaper to have a multi-panel design with many smaller pieces (like a Cariuma for example). I say this to say, just because the shoe has a minimal look, aka “the most basic shoe ever” doesn’t mean it is basic or not good value. I haven’t owned either and I’m not biased (but Cariuma is wack)
Weck was that guy same with grosso. I like this guy too even tho he’s kinda like artsy weird he’s a straight shooter and I agree with most of the shit he says
I felt like dan was bullying me in this video. as he started talking about polar big boys... I looked down and i was wearing last resort highs, polar 93's and a sci fi fantasy t shirt.
Dan came after Supreme, Last Resort AB, and even a little jab at Polar's "Big Boy" jeans... Last I checked all of these companies are more "core" than Cariuma ever could be with it's wacky team
nah, fuck supreme. they used to be core. as soon as they sold to the vultures at carlyle group (theyve since sold again, but whatever), they ceased being core. that said, i have no problem with skaters who make $ from them (like nike, & i fucking hate nike), but if youre a regular person buying supreme lol that shits wack af
Meanwhile, he could’ve been out doing some actual skateboarding and stacking footy instead of sitting around at his moms house and hating on other skateboarders who actually go out and pay their dues.
I like your style bro. I know you don't need anyone's approval to make the type of videos you do but having someone try to hold skaters and people in the industry to a high standard because you just actually care about the integrity of skateboarding (and being a good person) is pretty cool. Thanks man.
@@FrogeFella at the beginning of Dan's second video, he mentions that he's been called the new village idiot. Gifted hater called him village idiot on his Insta story.
GH is a fucking Hawk. We’re lucky this dude is dropping hot 🔥 content and not obliterating someone in a courtroom or interrogation desk. Today has been such a good day to watch youtube.
@@wherehouseedm are you watching old gifted hater videos because you’re drunk and angry and a Dan Corrigan fan? I don’t know why you’re replying to a comment I made 6 months ago or what your analogy is supposed to mean but maybe find somebody else to bother.
@@dadboard not drunk, but idk what this is about. maybe my browser was glitching and putting replys on the wrong threads. but the aglorythm just suggested the old video. i remember being mad that i thought it might be worth listening to,
Excellent. Also, every other company Dan talks about: Supreme (Tyshawn), Vans (Rowan) and Adidas (suicu) has at least 2-3 skaters that I would rather watch than the top 10 guys on Cariuma.
Tyshaun is so overrated... hes good but didnt even remotely deserve soty. Him winning it is honestly disrespectful to the history of soty and to all the other people who killed it that year and deserved it way more.
@@tsovx you are mistaken, watch the supreme part that got him SOTY. Skateboarding isn’t all about jumping down the biggest rails…sometimes it’s about jumping over the biggest trash cans!
I have a feeling a LOT of people have called him out for a lot of years but we don’t ever see that or know the backstories. I’ve met people like him that just filibuster their way through accountability and deflect and gaslight their way through every criticism that comes their way.
I love the energy in this vid. I used to respect Dan but this was so wack on his part. Someone has gotta stand up to this shit because it’s almost flying under the radar and I’m so glad you are doing what you are. I haven’t commented on your channel yet, but this topic is more than important to discuss
@@druciferdoesdjent5671 yeah not a fan. Hahaha. He's great at skateboarding but once he started making good money from the videos he just pumps them out changes titles and thumbnails 3 times a day for more clicks. It's just super disingenuous.
@@KevinNiceTry i hear ya man ..im subscribed hes good and i watch some of his vids but not everything...but i get what ur saying..i think the biggest thing i dislike bout him/his channel is him snaking people (ive seen it a few times) like all eyes need to be on him or him be the center of attention in his vids(aka like a watch me or overtalk people... especially after all the skate etiquette he talks about...other than that i dont really care...i could be wrong but thas just things ive noticed a few times...
Well said. That’s how I view his videos. He has this personality that comes off as “my opinion is correct and all others are wrong” . It really rubs me the wrong way just hearing him talk. Nevermind the super young girlfriend, living homeless in a van for 5 years, etc.
@@paunchcoorlightly4000you dont have to buy anything you dont like or agree with. if you dont like the marketing that means the shoe wasnt being marketed towards you. what i think dan is saying is that skaters take too much pride in what brands they choose to support. at the end of the day they're just that; brands, companies, products. nike, adidas. last resort, cariuma they all use marketing of different levels. they all have two things in common, they make skate shoes and they want to make money. you guys can pretend to care about every other little detail all you want, you're really just being played by all the other 'core' companies you guys choose to support. the skate company ecosystem needs cariuma so last resort can look cooler by comparison. get over yourselves
@@rhutoe “take too much pride in what they support” this might be where we can’t relate. I’m not under the assumption that these companies are operating above their interest in making money but which companies we want to stick around does matter. I agree that cariumas do cater to a growing population of skaters and if they like it fine. But to stop caring about the details of what skateboarding should look and feel like through the brands we support is something I can’t back. Obsessing over minute details is how most of us got better and decided to keep skateboarding past most peoples quit point.
dan is such a gatekeeper and clown lol literally will go to braille and joke about how corny it is etc, then immediately shill for cariuma and not even wear them lmaooo like its genuinely like this dude presents himself as a local, oldschool, core, skater- but any chance of money & clout he WILL take lol
@@psychonautcentral7924 then why did he give them praise by saying they actually pay their skaters, and saying all his fiends like them? He's playing both fields.
It’s like he’s pushing Cariumas to kids but at the same time doesn’t want the adults who watch him to think his taste is so bad he actually likes Cariumas.
The point about affiliation is right on the money ..I live near Clearwater which is a headquarters for scientology ...scientology is twisted when u see what they do to families and children in that cult and the fact Steve Berra has anything to do with that company or is promoting it is enough for me to not want any part of that company I will gladly support last resort and I will continue to do so ..I'm on my third pair
@@johansilva5612 yea it's where the sea org is that's what it's called ....they also own alot of real estate too but if u drive into Clearwater u can't miss it ...it's huge and u will see them all dressed up walking hand and hand with eachother ...they all don't get payed and have to take busses around and they live in crappy roach infested rooms
@@t4th. I get that my dude, it does suck that you've gotta line up or buy it online the actual femtosecond they go on sale, would be nice to be able to pick one up at my local skate shoo but they're just too big now I guess lol
Your final points hit the nail on the HEAD - Dan's trying to say that people are hating on cariuma for no reason but he's out here floundering to find reasons to defend Cariuma. To me he's trying to stand out and feel special by going against the general disdain towards cariuma, it's total pick-me behavior
@@danielthespriter its crazy how polarizing this topic is for you that Dan saying mindless hate towards a company just because edge lords like Gifted Hater make a living off fueling negativity has lost respect for you. Dan doesn't wear cariumas nor does he get paid by them, but what he is saying is that even your most core brands are out for one thing and that's money. Guess what else, Gifted hater makes these controversial videos to push his viewership and in-turn make more money. GH is a fuckin puss, who does nothing but negative for the skate community by fueling this type of community. If you don't see that you're a fish and GH is the fishing pole then you're just as much of a puppet as you may think Dan is.
@@brettsilva6808 as soon as you post shit on the internet you open yourself up to criticism. Don't like it? Don't post dumb videos defending a company you know nothing about just to feed into your narcissistic personality
@@user-jv9el8qb7o My whole point throughout all of this, hate and what GH is all about is the cheapest form of content one can get into. It's like going to a comedy club and saying how you hate the city you are in and getting a crazy reaction, but a reaction nonetheless. As holier than thou GH positions himself as, he's just an oracle for the dredge and sludge of the skateboarding community that wants something to be mad about because they did not make it or want to dictate and gatekeep what's cool and what's not. The fact that your saying Dan is feeding his narcissistic ego, when all GH does is shit on every little sector of skating for his own personal gain is INCREDIBLY ironic.
My boy gifted said exactly what we all feel.....I commented on Dan's video earlier ....I genuinely don't even know why he made it ..he made a second video to cover the first one but he should of never even made the video to begin with ...it was poorly done and not thought out at all .... U actually do the research ..keep doing your thing dude ....ur the #1 skater for keeping it real on RU-vid
I enjoy watching Dan's content when he's just skating, vlogging and having simple laughs with friends. I agree that he's being a contrarian for the sake of it to the point I almost think he's trolling, whether he's conscious of it or not because this "core vs whatever" is so engrained in his mindset and content. Almost a lack of education on some of the topics he's just brushed over without thought and research. I appreciate you both but with you on this discussion.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I def enjoy the 20/30 minutes raw skating videos he has. It’s almost become a nightly routine to fall asleep to at this point.
Totally agree, I used to watch his videos skipping the talking parts (I really like how he skates) but a lot of times he's talking so much even while skating or filming someone like WTF, I had to unsub. He could learn a lot from Dale on that.
He compared old skools not even the pro version to a modern skateboard shoe lol ....vans is better than Cariuma in every single way imaginable ...it's the premiere shoe in skating and always will be imo
He's had a fucking nightmare here, admittedly, but I don't mind a lot of Dan's content, where he just skates, and not when he's waffling on about something he knows fuck all about
You make a lot of sense. Ive been watching your videos for a month or two now and you nail it on the head most of the times! Keep it up. I’ll keep watching if your content is pure and real! Literally spit out my drink when you said and for example! And went on that brilliant rant!
"if you love vans old skools, i think these are gonna be better because vans destroyed my toes" we dont all have your fucking toes dan if one already loves vans old skools, i think it's probably safe to assume that vans old skools don't destroy their toes
Truth be told how can you review a shoe without skating it 😆😆😆🤨 that’s the biggest red flag imo 😭 just holding up a shoe and assumptions based on what others told him
@@enjoithejunt1081 it's such a basic concept to understand, that one shoule skate the shoe before telling you to skate it that it's sad we're here even talking about it
This is the only Channel I subscribe to. gifted hater is very good and articulates his thoughts and ideas and talks about real shit that other skaters are afraid to look at. Keep it up bro!!!
Lol if I know Dan threw his videos, I know that he sticks to what he likes, and he doesn't like vox shoes, he literally said he wouldn't skate them, ha ha if you were fishing for a brand deal why the hell would you say that LMAO! This gifted blader guy, you guys should play skate then see who's talking, I'm so surprised there's not more hated comments on here. But then again you can tell it's just your fans commenting. I wish I didn't give you this comment LOL but sometimes you just see stuff and you just have to write something 😂 I guess that's what this hater does, he sees people and just has to hate on them. Hella lame to just hate on people why don't you just hate on food or something or corporations, shit you don't like. Not people, but that brings you the clicks I guess LOL and by the way to cariuma has more than one shoe, they have one style skate shoe, but they have other shoes and that's what Dan was talking about.
Dang I’m new to skating so naturally I’m getting a lot of my exposure to it from these RU-vidrs. I’m subscribed to Dan lol I’m enjoying these videos, it’s def good to have another perspective. My entire understanding of what it means to be “core” is definitely shifting with seeing your takes
Yeah, honestly just wear whatever you want don’t base what brands you buy on what other people thinks cool, just get what you thinks cool, I bought Cariumas and stoped skating then once they got hate, they aren’t bad shoes I just thought they weren’t cool cause other people thought that
this core bla bla. no one really cares about whats "core" back in my days a lot of people were riding adidas sambas as skate shoes. skateboarding isnt what dyrdek and berra want you to think it is. go out. take your board. feel comfortable and shred. thats skateboarding. the skateboarding industry nowadays is flat out capitalistic cancer. you dont need all the fancy stuff. no one needs 140$ pants.
Love how you made a big fuss about Dan liking the plastic bits on the shoelaces and then tried to cool guy him by “knowing” the proper term for them. Butttt, at 20:22 you can see in your open tabs that you had to google what they were called, just to be able to sound like you already knew. Gave me a good laugh.
like many commenters, i like dan’s videos, i think he’s funny (and being annoying is part of it), but i can’t say i watch his channel for critical analysis. also you got some crazy commenters in here… leave the dude’s girlfriend out of it…
@@odeswarms So? she's 22... I'm 30 and I'm not sure if I would date a 20 year old but I wouldn't be upset at somebody who is. My baby mom was 19 and dating a 48 year old that's where it gets weird lol.
I knew this was coming lmao. I actually like Dan but he was trying so hard to not shit on Cariuma and play off the fact he's straight up getting shit from them at this point
Normally I'm not the biggest fan of how overtly negative you can get but I appreciate how you absolutely annihilated this bozo in less time than it took him to spout out all this nonsense
Bro the negativity comes w the territory when u call out the fakeness and the whack bullshit in our scene today. The last7 or 8 years has just gotten worse and worse as time goes by. And I'd say half of the problem lies with the Berrics (and braille) go figure scientologists!
@@Damoforce better than sending them to ziumez, right? Seattle has one orange box shop that's still around. I am looking for mid or high skate shoes in 14s and very few good ones exist. The addidas mid has a leather upper, Wtf.
@@firstnamelastname2948 not really tho. He glossed over Nike's garbage business practices or that they're capable of paying pros well, while in the same video saying it's important who you affiliate with. kind of hypocritical. So buying shoes made by a company that used literal children and sweatshops to make them is better than Cariuma because?
@@sk83r1217 ok what you need to understand is that there is no such thing as ethical (large scale) production. Also Saying that cariuma doesn’t use child labor isn’t a valid defense and allegations that nike uses child labor does not absolve cariuma of criticism. It is a logical fallacy to deflect criticism from cariuma because Nike did something similar literally decades ago. If anything the skateboarding industry should learn from nikes inorganic entry into the industry and recognize that cariuma is doing the same thing but even less organic. This isn’t about Nike vs cariuma, so please stop being willfully ignorant.
This dude definitely got roasted relentlessly for his cariumas at some point and now he feels its necessary to post a 10 minute diatribe about how everyone else is a poser for not liking them
You gotta realize that all of his videos are unnecessary long and all clickbait titles. And your correct in a lot of ways, keep opening up people's minds and eyes
hes unaware of prices and hasnt bought shoes in awhile. you make a good point, you tubers need to be more responsible for what they are putting content out!
Hell yeah thank you for this! Think Dan was referring to the Vans shoe model 'Old Skool' which come in lifestyle, pro and Skate not the generic lifestyle Vans when he said 'old school'. Really appreciate this, most skate vlogger product reviews are hot garbage.
i like Dan and lifted tater, they both have very different views and perspective and video styles, i like seeing calm videos of dans and more critical videos of Mr hater
One of Dan's recent videos, where he does some proper street skating around LA, was genuinely decent. I'm not about the weird children's skatepark content though when he lives in California and has all the cool street spots at his disposal
@@odeswarms Because they are. All you have to do is read the comments on this video. If people get this worked up over a shoe company there is something wrong with them. If you don't like the shoes, don't buy them.
