I think at this point, we’d like you to just go through all the Jordans. Cut each model in half so we can all really see how the sneaker technology progressed throughout the years. Great video!

I played in 3s to 7s and the 3/4/5 were the most comfortable shoe for a running game of the era. the "fake leather" was part of the marketing. these are made of synthetic materials used in the sport car market to get lighter seats. Here they achieved lighter shoes with close to the look and durability of "real leather" shoes like the Converse Weapon and other Nikes. These shoes were lighter by FARRR compared to Kangaroos, AVIA and LA Gear and Adidas of the era and we much less fatiguing. after long practices these shoes simply left your legs feeling fresher. By time the 6/7/8s came around, Jordan changed up his game again and had much more of a post-up style game. That era shoe was stiffer, made on a narrower last and fit your feet a lot closer. Same for the Foamposites (although Foams were a little softer on the soling than Jays) But we knew it wasn't leather. And we knew they were not built to "last long". The rubber on the sole was supposed to be more "sticky" for indoor court traction and grip and less wear on outdoor courts. These shoes were purpose-built for wooden indoor court play, whereas the typical other shoe was more of a outdoor shoe, made to last. I can tell you that when i played my first indoor game in these...the GRIP was intense! That first couple steps acceleration was like nothing else at the time. I also wore Pumas, Shell-Top Adis, Ewings, Weapons, Blazers, Flights, AFs...nothing had that chewing gum grip like 3/4/5s Jays!

I have two pairs of these, good to know. I love seeing pairs that I actually own getting cut in half and analyzed

Love the 3's. I think it was the "new" Jumpman logo on the tongue that sold MJ and Nike's future commitment to him and his insight & influence on design. From there, his stats and accolades through the '88 season was a huge spotlight on the shoes and the line took off to new heights.

I love the research that you do for these videos. Props to you for that

Gotta love these videos. I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and I’m glad to see the channel growing

I love that you don’t just rate the shoes but also explain the background and the history behind it. Pls do more

Great vid. Still waiting for the 11’s. Probably the most popular and complex Jordan. Full non visible air unit, full carbon fibre “shank”, patent leather mudgaurds, very interested in how they are made. I just bought a low version the “72-10 Low” which incorporates tumbled leather. Very nice looking and slept on shoe.

I learn so much from your videos. And it is fun to watch, thanks!

I’ve been waiting for this great as usual🔥🔥

Thanks for cutting the 3's in half! It's nice to see what makes up the pair that I have

These are my absolute favourite jordans, nice to see them on the channel!

Great channel keep it up! Love it

Very Informative, appreciate that!

I’ve only owned one pair of 3’s, so I cannot say it’s the same for all versions and the materials they use, but from my perspective much of the comfort lies in the width of the shoe and how it sits on the foot so to speak, especially since I have slightly wider and flat feet. Great video as usual! 👍🏻

Great series man! Looking forward to the next one. Would love to see the 4s through the 13s at some point!

Simple but interesting & technical review video again. Nice work,man Hope to see you've done the Air jordan 11 or 14

I have been through 3 pairs of these and am now on my fourth. We’re talking thousands of miles, minimum 6km every single day since 2018. They are absolutely excellent.

I really appreciate the history you give on the shoe re: the midcut, tumbled leather etc, i hope you do all the others, at least up to the 11s

Good stuff rose anvil, keep the uploads coming lol

This video was awesome! The Jordan 3 is one of my favorite silhouettes. I would love to see u guys do the Jordan 11 which was a game changer. Or the Jordan 8 or 9 which both are polarizing. But what ever u guys do, much love and keep doing it!

This channel is the this is the most in depth breakdowns of shoes I have ever seen

Awesome video, enough history explanation for context without over doing it, so refreshing seeing a none sneaker heads view on these without all the hype and bs

Very interesting to watch with all the backside information - love it! The 3's are my fav. all time

Great channel, really opens your eyes to how footwear is really made!

You been doing straight bangers lately. Gotta give credit where it's due. 👏🏾

much respect great vlog

Great video. For the crumbling midsole. That usually happens after 10-15 years, usually shorter for shoes that aren't worn. My 2012 black cement 3s are still going strong since I wore the tread off those.

BC 3 one of my faves for sure. Nice one for the vid!

Would love to see how this compares to the Jordan 4s and 5s. 5s look really comfortable but 4s are considered some of the least comfortable 'hype' sneakers; given that you said they're nearly all the same shoe I'd be really interested to see the differences

Love your videos 🥰🥰🥰

This is my favorite shoe. This channel is my guide to buying sneakers. It’s so interesting to learn about what is in a sneaker and if the original tech is still being used or if it’s just similar in appearance to move a lifestyle shoe. I’d like to see a video that breaks down the manufacturers and quality in their retro lines. Could you even play basketball in these or not?

This is the best series you’ve ever made! Now we can see what we’re really paying for with the Jordan’s please keep doing these! I would like to see the 10s with the full length air and the 12s with full length zoom

Love this content. Awesome to see what’s inside shoes, and convenient for not having to cut my own shoes🤣. Thanks and keep it up! Peace ✌🏽

I enjoy your videos keep up the good work.enjoy too see what in the shoes what tech in the shoe does.and what the technology do

this is my new favorite channel

As you are going through these classic GR Jordans, it would be interesting if you eventually dissected pairs of collab Jordans advertised as a "premium version" of the shoe (i.e. A Ma Maniere). It would be interesting to see if these collabs are actually using better materials or if they are just making the shoe more attractive.

You know, this video talked me into getting the Jordan 3 desert elephant release this weekend. I'm really excited to get a pair of my first Jordan's!! It's strange that I'm getting these, because my favorite Jordan's are the 4s, 11s, 13s, and 14s

Another feature over the Jordan 2 are the lace holes near the forest foot. They allow more variation for lace adjustment. His was also expanded in the Jordan 4s.

Love these keep doing Jordans, yeezys and new balance!

Weston, most tumbled leather has small stones put in the drum as well to achieve that pebble grain look.

Great videos! Air Jordan 4 White Cement 2016 next please!

amazing video thank u

i actually have this pair. Really interesting to see the inner workings of it. You should do Jordan 4's next. Wouldn't mind seeing you do the rest of the Air Jordan line

Back in 88 I had been saving up for a pair of Air Force’s and the new Jordans came out. I got the black and gray. They weren’t as soft or cushiony like everyone was expecting. I had some Avias at the time that were very soft, just didnt last. Kept the Jordans till someone traded me for some dock Martins. Hey in New Mexico docs were rare

Great video

This is so satisfying to watch

Would love to see you do the Jordan 7's! My favorite Jordan model for sure!

The og 3s from 1988 are all leather including the tongue as well, and the insole was also different that you can add arch supports at that time. Surprisingly they did not use fiberboard and actually use the textile stitching on the originals as well.

I love your jordan videos

Love this series! I would love to see originals of these models cut in half. I believe that the current retros aren’t made with the same quality the originals were. I would keep that in mind with these reviews.

I like them , thanks for another great video ..

Love your videos, would love to see a video or list of what materials you would use for the perfect sneakers if budget were not an issue

Great work as usual, i'd personally like to see a comparison between the 1s and 36s to see how technologies, Manufacture and materials has changed thoroughly almost 40 years

Great channel. First pair of Jordans I bought in 88 , again in 94 , been a fan ever since, probably my favorite , they need to just pump these out, the prices are stupid

would love to see you do a pair of 11s, the patent leather and carbon fiber plate would be great discussion points

yess finally! Now a pair of 4's please!!

Love your videos. I think it would be cool to see Jordans 4 to 14 cut in half. :)

I feel it was the AJ3's inauguration at the 1988 slam dunk contest and the iconic poster of the foul line jump that made these so popular. Cool video!

Would love to see a breakdown of some off white shoes since they’re so different compared to the other colourway, mainly the 1s

I have no idea how these videos don’t get more views, I hope your views blow up one day you deserve it.

wore my black cement 3s today. def one of my top 5 fav sneakers ever, maybe top 3

Love your videos! You guys doing footwear reviews should put them on so we can see how they look on foot with pants, shorts ect.

The 5s, 11s & 12s are some of my favorite's. I would like to see you cut them in half to see what's on the inside. 👍🏽

I was all about the jumpman logo, the new air Jordan sign. I remember drawing it all over my school books, all the kids were doing ' air walk layups, trying do do the " Air Jordan"

Hi Wes love your channel! FYI I am in Québec Canada and yes you have at least one French Canadian subscribed.. I would a have a suggestion for a new series. What about motorcycle boots? Are they better than normal boots? Myth, reality, marketing....who knows...guess we could find out!

Love this kind of videos and cutting these iconic Jordans and see whats inside. I own every pair of Js you’ve cut but i will never cut mine 😅

I would love to see the tech behind the Jordan 12, it was the first time with full length zoom but I'd like to see you go in order. show the subtle tech changes and visual design esthetics that were transitioned over from model to model.

Top 3 Jordans no doubt. I’ve had 6 pairs of these and loved them

When you look at the original sketches/concepts of the AJ3, they look extremely similar to the air max 1 (1987), it's a classic Tinker Hatfield shape

I enjoy your video’s so much!! Definitely makes you think about the money we sneaker collectors spend thinking we’re getting a superior product. I would love to see a cut open comparison of a Jordan 4 straight from Nike or reseller and then a Jordan 4 from a replica seller. See if the insides match or are way different as well as quality. Just my $.02

Wow men I learn a lot. Tnx for ur effort. Can u do my fave shoe. The j13

Adamn and eve, Rose Anvil getting wild

Can you do what's inside and construction break down of a HAIX AIRPOWER XR1 - I use them for EMS and wanted to know how they'd fair.

On the first day of wearing my Jordan 3s, I can definitely feel the air in the forefoot 👍🏼

You should do the fire red 3z dat recently came out to see how the material on em are better 🤙🏽

I have the 2011 Version of these black elephant, and the leather quality is still awesome. Only the plastic on the back is slowly cracking after the years. But overall impressed. i love them 😊

You should jus go up the list 1-14 at least. See how it all evolved Ur vids are super dope! Thanks again

Hey Rose Anvil, love the videos. I was wondering if you wanted to try cutting apart some puma suedes, nike pegasus' or maybe the asics gel quantum. I've been really curious about all these shoes, so It'd be nice if you could cut one of them apart.

I’m definitely waiting for the 11’s

Would love to see another summer shoe comparison of Hey dudes, Reef shoes, and Day five shoes, specifically the classic canvas upper slip-on shoes

I haven’t seen this info posted or spoken of yet- but so you know, original jordan 1-12, so until 1997, were all board lasted. The 98 jordan 13’s started strobel stitching, and some retros after have been board lasted (“85” 1’s), some with a hybrid of strobel stitch but a lasted toe. Hopefully you can see this!

Can you do Trickers stow boot? I would love to see how they compare to Nicks with the materials you can’t see.

You should do a video about visible tech! Mainly from the 80’s - 90’s and don’t forget the LA Gear Catapult!

You should def do the 4s since they are more often suede/nubuck and the 11s since they are supposed to be patent leather to see how good they really are! Awesome vidS!

Request to do a shoe breakdown of the recently released Desert Elephant Jordan 3. This release is not nearly appreciated as the black cement colorway reviewed in this video, but many have touted its superior leather materials. I'm curious to know whether the quality of the leather is really better.

Can you do a video on Nike Invincible Run 2? They are so comfy for everyday walk! ❤️

Please review the rest of the Jordan lineup up to the 14s. I owned most of the pairs since I was already balling when Michael Jordan was still playing. Every year I bought a pair of Jordans, starting with the Jordan 5. I wasn't able to keep any of my Jordans since I played in them during summer leagues and I worn them out until the soles separated. Thanks for all the in-depth reviews!

Hello! Can you please do a cut of Jim Green's Stockman boots? I want to know how they compare to the Redback slip ons that you enjoy so much. I've been interested in a slip on but I'd prefer a stitch down construction, so I've been very interested in these.

Czn you do air jordan 4s please, they are my fav jordans

*J3's are the GOAT* Timeless, classic, fresh, and they still look modern decades later.

My all time favorite Jordan. Got my first pair in 88. Played them to the bone.

I lost a pair of those exact AJ 3's recently because a bag of DampRid accidentally leaked on one of my 3's causing it to harden the leather, deforming the collar lining, and bending the right pair up. I was devastated with the transformation of my kick. I tried to get them fixed and place I took it to failed miserably. I hope Jordan brand restocks these soon.

Hyped for the 13s

Please do the Gobstompers!

Please do Jordan 4s ❤

You get those Gobstopper shoes? Would be interesting to see what’s inside those!

The Jordan delta 2 would be interesting to dissect

The more recent iterations of the 3s, which are as close to the 1988 original as possible, have been really comfortable for me. I've never tried the 4s or 5s yet but many say the 4s are hella uncomfortable.
