It's crazy he glosses over NIKE's slave labor practices and worker exploitation . Capitalists are insane, that's why he can beg for money for his friends Harleys (90% of Americans can't afford) while American children starve...he doesn't care...slick though!
MSCHF's whole idea of their brand is around how far they can push the boundaries. They did an entire drop illegally using a bunch of brand logos to see who would sue them first lol
@@svoksis I'm sorry but you can't say they're not pushing any boundaries, the wavey babies are somewhat a feat of engineering that they pulled the design off, got it to a functional level, and made and distributed it.
@@walterroux291 Few minutes with the liquify tool really isn't peak design. They would wear out unevenly and might mess your feet up. Goofy IG kicks, not much else
@@svoksis the thing is, making a shoe that is only semi functional is a boundary that Nike or Adidas or Vans can't push, but a smaller design company like them clearly could do. You can say you don't like any of their designs, that I'm totally fine with, but you can't say they aren't pushing boundaries (blood/holy water in the sole, wavey babies) all push boundaries that a larger distributor couldn't do.
@@walterroux291 Getting sued is is great advertisement, but it's nothing genius. They can make noise, I'll give them that, but they're not innovating in terms of design
I would love to see a video comparing legit sneakers and their quality VS Reps. What are the differences? I think it would be entertaining and informative!
this could be cool especially getting like 3 different batches, in different price ranges, to check like budget vs expensive reps vs the real deal. But i suspect a video like that wouldn't be liked very much by youtube :))
dude I somehow managed to cop these this morning and was thinking all day about how cool it’d be to see them on your channel but figured it’d be a long shot or a least a long while. Such a rad surprise to see this vid pop up- thanks for making it!
I just hope that the version of the shoe they send is also the version of the shoe they sell. like same quality and everything. They can make one High quality shoe of the same model for a review and sell the low quality ones. Hope it's not like that.
Could you cut an AF1 Craft in half? According to Nike they’re essentially just an AF1 but with universally better materials (such as tumbled leather). Kind of like the Chuck 70s vs the standard all stars.
Coming from someone who is into sneaker culture, I gotta be honest I fuckin love that you don’t pamper these expensive shoes like they’re shoes they’re meant to be worn and you do an amazing job at examining each one like seriously been a long time watcher and everyone of your vids is a joy of relaxing content :)❤️👏
Nike can't sue anyone from making an air force one clone because of the Bapesta and Ari Air force one. Nike has lost the design patent for the shoe so as Long as you don't put a swoosh on it you are in the clear.
Hand wrapped rigid boxes that aren’t corrugated are so expensive especially if you are doing a small batches. We had a quote from before the corona virus for a similar box that was under $20 but now with inflation and shortages packaging pricing is crazy especially if you are trying to keep production in the US. That being said if someone can get me a better deal hit me up 😉
@@RoseAnvil I'm over the pond and apparently out of touch, whilst I'd love to help I doubt I could. It blows my mind that prices have skyrocketed like that. A friend in freight forwarding told me recently that their transportation costs had double though, so I believe it. It's utterly ridiculous to me though; and I have to wonder how much is genuine impact, and how much is scalping.
they are some slick people. them sending you this sneaker, which you then publicly dissected, gets them off the hook without question with regards to another potential nike lawsuit. also gets them across to a demographic that contains a fair amount of sneakerheads
A cut in half from the adidas forum 84 would be interesting to watch. They are basketball shoes which originally released in 1984 and even Michael Jordan wore them.
Ya that’s a good critique I could have made it more clear by what I meant by “wearable”. I tried to express that in a concise way at the end when I was talking about the trade off of the AF1 having worse leather but having the air unit/foam midsole vs the MSCHF having better leather and material.
What's funny with Nike didn't say anything about MSCHF is that they had no problem with the Jesus shoe they made or the walk on waters but had something to say about the Satan shoe. They love playing poke the bear and see how fast the bear will run. Love their style.
I’d love to see you cut in half some Hoffman 16” Pole Climbers, or some Italian hiking boots such as Crispi’s, Kenetrek’s, etc. Love your videos, keep up the great work.👍🏻
I love your videos and would really like to see you do a review on my favourite sneaker, the Adidas Forum 84, the build quality on them is really good for the price when compared to your typical Nike Dunk/AF1/Air Jordan 1's.
I feel like some people rush to buy MSCHF before a court forces them to stop selling a product. They also do a lot of limited releases, but it becomes even more limited with court injunctions. I like the Mars Black color better than this white scheme, while I realize that white is more fashionable these days. Even though it's $45 more than Air Force 1, it seems like a good deal for an unusual design from a famous but still somewhat underground brand. It's unusual that us normal people can afford a piece of pop art, and it seems to also be functional at the same time.
You should review the MSCHF Super Normal 2s. You can get it at retail and look similar but have a different bottom. I wonder if it’s the same quality leather since its a mass produced pair.
If the two shoes are the same thickness, but the air force one has a thick layer of plastic while the super normal only has a light pigment, wouldnt that technically mean that the super normal have thicker leather and are more durable for it?
Stupid expensive but rick kiss heels would be so interesting to see a dissection of. They have a stacked leather platform and a plastic sole with a plastic front piece they just seem so interesting
i'm unimpressed by the AF1's. i don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with them, the plasticky feel of the leather is mediocre, so say the least. It's been less than a year and these sneakers look like they've been through world war 3 or something, and that's me wearing them maybe twice a week? the lining is destroyed, there's a giant hole at the heel so deep that it actually goes all the way down to the 'cardboard' underneath. i will not be buying another pair, that's for sure - money well spent elsewhere, honestly.
You should cut a pair of bapestas in half, they look just like air forces but are about 3 times the price would be interesting to see the material differences compared to air forces
Cool, art brands! I gotta pair of your boots from Nick's, really great. If you've ever thought about doing an episode cutting Ari's Menthol 10s in half would be awesome and a pair of the South Park Towelie Adidas shoes in half, you should. Thanks for what you do for keeping shoe companies on their toes, great service.
grab a pair of fitville sneakers they seem to be fairly new on the market ..fitville rebound core high...they boast alot of features would love to see what you think of them
Hey! Have you considered doing a review on the Timberland trifold wallet? Also, I would love to see your thoughts on some leather products from Curt+Myr Co. and Popov Leather.
I would really like to see you do an Air jordan 12 one. usually the 12 are considered one of the best leather jordans and it would be really cool to see what they got inside
Now compare the MSCHF Super Normal to their recent drop, the Super Normal 2. Are they new and improved? The sole is a different design, which actually complements the rest of the shoe now.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I was just about to buy these! But not that but that fact that you know about and shoe quality of leathers of shoes and there materials ! Not many people care but I do ! And you like rpgs! Bro did we just become best friends !?? Lmaoo keep up the shoe quality break downs pls 💯🙏
Please compare AF1 Shadow to original AF1 I want to see if there is really air cushioning inside and how the quality compares for it being a ‘womans’ sneaker
I’d love to see some Alexander McQueen oversized sneakers cut in half, they claim they’re Italian calf leather but I can’t lie mine are so uncomfortable and after 4 years of wearing still just feel disgustingly stiff
I want to see you cut the new Nike x Tom Sachs general purpose shoe. It has a whole mantra about durability in the box and was supposedly developed over the 10 year collaboration with Tom Sachs and Nike.
hey, culd you analize a pair of haix firefighting boots? firefighters around here like that brand a lot and i wear a pair for work and i put theses things trough hell and they held up realy well so i was wondering whats inside them and what they are build out of
Any chance you could do Altama Maritime boots (they look like skate shoes)? I've been wearing mine a while and wonder how they'd hold up to your tests.
