I actually disagree, they look like Ivy Park Nite Joggers. We're talking about a Beyonce x Adidas collab and hype beasts still didn't lose their sh*t. I like the WS and SIA sneakers but there's nowhere near enough material in the William Strouch's for me to justify $160, independent or not.
Its dope to see SIA get some exposure. The owner has been grinding hard for years and have been copied by Johnny Gieger a couple of times. But he on the map now. Black owned too.
Cash Crop yea fr.. every single one of John Geiger’s bullshit shoes are DIRECT rips of his work. Sad to see a guy with a weird last name be able to completely take advantage of someone like D who has been grinding for years to get to this point
No doubt. I'd clip that and release it in a smaller video. It's really a well put, concise message. Really hit me today. As always, great content. Keep it up.
I bought a pair of Karhu Aria 95's in November, and it was one of the best sneaker purchases I've made! It has a lightweight, booty construction like an UB or Gel Lyte V, but the suede just classes it up way more. While it's a stiffer suede, I think it suits the shoe better than a soft suede because it helps it maintain it's shape around the toe box. Only downside is the insole, I definitely had to swap them out for something a little thicker. But they're definitely a brand I hope to get more pairs of down the road!
Subscribing to this channel was the best thing I've done in a while! All these guys with millions of subscribers/followers just trying to upload videos on a daily basis, and then there's this guy, producing great objective content. Well, all in all, props to you Devan, great stuff! 🔥
I stumbled upon your channel, watched one then another and another. Consider me subscribed for life. Your attitude is out standing and you have a developed character of maturity. Thank you for your content.
Under the radar sneakers are a bit of a Catch 22 for me. Because they're smaller companies, they never make sneakers in my size. If they ever get large enough to make size 16 sneakers, they're usually not under the radar anymore. Still, I can't be selfish. Still good to see small brands doing good work out there - and these sneakers look really cool.
@@DevanOnDeck One day. Your videos have been great for giving me ideas for my clothing and style, so I can't complain too much. With sneakers I can just work with what I've got :D
Yo thank you for this bro I’m definitely copping a pair of those SIA joints. Another dope brand is Clearweather based in LA I believe, there Interceptor model is my favorite, the boots are dope too. Hope you make another one of these, you most definitely put me on lol.
Great video! Curious about your thoughts with the current convo of #BLM, do your views change at all on the first 2 brands? Just bought my first pair of SIA - well pre-ordered anyway! even as a woman, I hate wearing the traditional sneaks but love the classic kicks.
Those third shoes are sooooooooo damn nice. I just checked him out for the first time and saw all the shoes all ready copped. Do u know when he typically releases new pairs or if he’ll restock?
DevanOnDeck these are facts. I damn sure hopped on that preorder when I saw you first post them on IG 😂. You’re beast bro. Keep going. I feel like I’m light years ahead of other content creators and I haven’t even really started my journey(be on the look out, I’m coming). But Thank you 🙏🏾
You gotta check out Rombaut @devan! It's brilliant - you cant tell theyre vegan because the pineapple leather is such high quality. And great safe and whack designs on the catalogue
Thank you for showing SWA he is the truth please🙏🏾🙏🏼 download load the somewhere in America app you will have a better chance to cop. This brand made me see what quality and design is really about 🔥⛽🌋💯
Great review👍 I love the time and effort you put into these all black owned shoe companies I have a question how have your shoes been holding up as far as the sole an grip on the bottom of the shoe because I'm kind of standoffish on buying them because they are on his website right now for sale anyways I asked a couple of people who actually bought the the shoes and they have told me that the bottom of the shoes have no grip and that the bottom of the shoes are very slippery like loafers or house shoes and the traction on shoes are not that good.
Ok great I seen a review video on the vulture on RU-vid today by a guy name rico styles so I asked him in the comments section about the quality of the bottom soles and he said they are slippery like loafers or dress shoes and they're other reviews on RU-vid where people are saying that they didn't get a box with their shoes and that it was sent in a bag other's did reviews talking about the quality of the shoe and customer service so I was just uh little hesitant about pulling the trigger on them but thanks a lot I really appreciate your response and great review once again.
When I found out about SIA and the story behind it I was impressed and finding out that D now lives The Bay was a bonus because I love supporting the home team. I got the SIA Sock Runners a while back but unfortunately the Culture Vultures sold out before I could get some. Hopefully I can on the next drop. Great video and much respect for showing love to the up and coming brands out there. Anyone interested in learning about the man behind SIA check out his interview on the Breakfast Club, he's doing big things. ✌🏾
Preciate yoo promoting Us ...instead of Gossip gurlin against another brother it's getting old but this should be the NEW Wave brothers helping brothers instead of hating...thanks again imma cop some of dude kicks2
Okay SIA's shoes really fits my type of style. It fits both techwear and casual. Seriously thank you for giving them more exposure that they deserve. ♥️
Great video showcasing under the radar brands. I actually ended up buying both colorways in the SIA because they just had a pre order restock for the culture vultures so I can’t wait to get them in!
those SIA shoes are fire!! for sure getting me a pair, thanks for the message at the end. im starting a podcast and felt insecure but this brought me back. Keep in doing great videos bro!
I don’t mess with SIA. I remember back in the day when he was fbcc sole dye. Dude didn’t have a filter back then n just spit hate n put others down. Just an FYI for y’all that wanted to understand his personal brand a lil bit. I know wearing products from someone that puts out negative energy is not something I do. He’s doing better now and onto better things. I just know that’s who he used to be when he had no money or fame or spotlights on him and therefore is who he truly is. But one thing I do respect is his hard work and dedication. But yeah that’s all. Lmao
