They are also older than most basketball models, or just as old (late 80s, and 90s through 2000s) and arguably pack more tech. That chick saying basketball models started sneaker culture is out of her mind. Gel Lytes and Air Maxes were a thing before people started fighting over J11s.
retardno002 Think about the Nike Blazers tho. They became popular among both Basketball players and Skaters, I think that’s enough to argue that at least some basketball shoes are at the roots of sneaker culture.
Fung bros. again on track. Glad to see they made a video about runners' shoes in addition to basketball. Would definitely like to see more of these runners videos. I'm both a basketball and runner sneakerhead but more of a runner sneakerhead. My top choices are 1. Adidas Boost 2. Nike Flyknit Lunars 3. Zoot Solana . I've tried others like Saucony, Brooks, New Balance, Sketchers, Reebok, but, I'll only pick my top three choices because of the comfort, lightweightedness, fit, wear, and performance of those shoes.
the Air Max 1 was still considered a "running sneaker" in it's time. over the years it's def been bulked up but at it's core, it's a running/walking sneaker.
sneaker culture is so different in ireland, everybody wears runners (roshes, flux or air max) and if im ever out wearing my jordans, NMD's or kobes etc. everyone is like what are thoseeeee, shits fucked up lol
+brenden whiteley Yeah definitely margiela, but filling pieces are meant to fill this gap between expensive and affordable sneakers, so I'm not sure if you'd consider it high fashion
-the ultra boosts ARE intended to be performance shoes -saucony, ascis and Brooks all have tons of performance running shoes. saucony wasn't saved by collaborations. they just extended their sportswear line from the success of their performance models -you guys didn't mention the air Max's, runners which have been present in streetwear every year since 1990
just bought a nike zoom elite 7 at the outlet last week and im enjoying it. man its super light and comfortable. looking forward to getting more runners. got my eyes on those ultraboost.hehe
Hey Fung Bros, gr8 Vid ! I enjoyed it. Wow, in few minutes you told a good story about how the sneakers' thing evolved so far. Yazzy was great, she explained very clear the sneakers issue, the way they become a street trending and so on, I mean, is not limited to the money, but also what they mean and represent. Personally speaking, I used to be a Nike guy, but I moved to Adidas, because I can choose between the street and workout outfits easily. Nike is mostly referred to the Athletic thing. As for the shoes, I'm now using Adidas Boost and Tubular models, they're gr8, no complaints. Keep showing us videos like this. Zaijian!!! ✌
The problem with the Kanye effect is that for us people who actually buy runners for running, we don't want to pay $500 even if it's a really good shoe so its limiting the options
RyanTR Caton right I'm with you on that I used to buy runners to go to the gym actually use them for running but now since Kanye wears a shoe all of his fans buy them because they wanna look like him and TBH runners should not be worn with jeans it looks stupid
Fredy P. Nah I own air max 1s and gel asic 3's and I would say there both good. I was able to break in the air maxes a lot more so more comfort. But asics are really comfortable too like clouds when ur walking.
Please do a retro episode on Nike Skateboarding Dunks and such. With collabs with staple and Arizumi I think it might be right up your alley. Much love from Seattle! Come back soon guys!
Runners will always be poppin because they're timeless, well the retro runners at least, they're comfortable, functional and look good if you rock them right (super subjective)
From the perspective of someone outside of the sneaker head community, I saw a rise in the popularity of runners with the nike free run series especially the 5.0, just because they were some of the first running shoes to look sleek, cool, and have a thin sole to give them a barefoot feeling. Also, the Roshe runs introduced a lot of people to runners as they were cheap and very comfortable. The rise in popularity of a fit lifestyle and fitness fashion also made runners a cool shoe to wear casually. This is just my opinion, but id be interested to hear what other people think.
I really like the air max ones, I also love the adidas ultra boost even tho I don't have one pair but I'm also really into ascics and new balance because all of the runners are very comfortable and I'm always on my feet so it's the best of both world, they look good and feel good
A lot of people into pale wave love new balances, & nbs and asics are popular with Asian streetwear. So in a way she's right I suppose(?) but when I think of high fashion sneakers, I think of Y-3, RO Ramones, & raf ozweegos
In Indiana Saucony New Balance and Asics are sold more than Foams and stuff on the east side we mostly wear performance or Runners Jordans are least worn except for 1's 3's 4's and 6's
You guys should go sneaker shopping with complex haha
Let's get this to the top
yes!
Yes!
yes!!!

Runners are hands down my favorite sneakers. Love me some Asics, New Balance of Saucony.
+FruitShaped never forget Diadora, those are legendary.
They look real comfy. Unfortunately, Diadora is hard to find here in Sweden.
Talking about hard to find, here in the Philippines almost every runners are hard to find.
That's a bummer!

Functionality-wise and design-wise, runners seem to be the best sneakers to wear.

@@yukiokuma2358 yea i agree with that
The Australian sneaker scene are all about runners

+Nick Thach And Nike Tn's
+Nick Thach Exactly what I was thinking the entire video
Yeah where the fuck were all the maxes
The Australian sneaker scene are all about thongs*
runners straight took over jordans for me
Don't forgot the uk roadman with the air max 1, 90 & 95 as well Nike tn's and hurachies
Legend😂
waste man brav ya see me out here big man stormzy fam 😂
big man ting every don in my endz got 95s

Runners > Basketball sneakers (for everyday life)
Yess
yes
Football flats
+deepak narayan umm...
True cuz if you were basketball on the road the traction will wear off
Runners for life. Or more like Boost for life. I loved it so much I base my channel over it. Love being in the cozy life. Haha
New York. "Very close to Europe"
Runners are the best sneakers. 🔥🔥
Forgot about Reeboks huh ! Kendrick Lamar Ventilators are fire AF
And air max...
Lawrence Lan true ! Didnt even notice that
Much respect to the Fung Bros. for putting this vid. up at 9 in the morning. Most RUclipsrs don't really put up videos that early. Lol.
How about reebok ? Kendric signed with them with the ventilators, straight comfortable shoes
I always laugh when kids say "What are those!?" to my 999s. Young Hittas don't know the game
And yet no mention of the Air Max line? i know air maxes dont have the same construction and regard as runners but it technically is.
There bulky
airmax motion is a running sneaker and one of the best on the market
+Demosthenes409 I was thinking the same thing.
too bulk to be runners
the Air Max 1 was still considered a "running sneaker" in it's time. over the years it's def been bulked up but at it's core, it's a running/walking sneaker.
She has a beautiful smile, keep smiling girl.
I love runners! Great video
I consider myself 100 % responsible for making sauconys popular at my school
sneaker culture is so different in ireland, everybody wears runners (roshes, flux or air max) and if im ever out wearing my jordans, NMD's or kobes etc. everyone is like what are thoseeeee, shits fucked up lol
0:33 They look at David's face when they introduce her. Im sleeeep cuh
Saucony, New Balance, Asics high fashion? Nah sorry but high fashion are Balenciaga, Y-3, Raf, Rick, Saint Laurent etc
+James Smith yep, woman don't know her runners. lol
Y-3? Lmaooo
+James Smith margiela and filling pieces too
+brenden whiteley Yeah definitely margiela, but filling pieces are meant to fill this gap between expensive and affordable sneakers, so I'm not sure if you'd consider it high fashion
+brenden whiteley nonetheless dope shoes
those white and gold fluxes are fuego
-the ultra boosts ARE intended to be performance shoes
-saucony, ascis and Brooks all have tons of performance running shoes. saucony wasn't saved by collaborations. they just extended their sportswear line from the success of their performance models
-you guys didn't mention the air Max's, runners which have been present in streetwear every year since 1990
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR SOOO LONNNGGGGGG
SINTB is pulling his hair out cus they don't know about the saucony game

I LOVE THIS EP!!! Im a huuuge fan of nb!! super glad u did a runner ep for sneakerhead :)
really refreshing that they bring on a guest who is actually knowledgable about the field instead of just being a hot asian chick
I love that you came up with more videos lately , keep on
Im a fan of the suede runner, asics, new balance, saucony, etc.
Adidas tubular radial is my fav. After watching this video, I'm more interested in runners like new balances. Thanks Fung bros!
This girl looks like that aunt you don't know that you only see at family party's who always snitches on you
glad you guys took the time to review the runners, good vid bro keepitup
Those gold and white fluxs with gum bottom is hot AF
+King RNDM i know

I honestly like runners than jordans etc.
Fong Bros got a winner for this episode! Winner!

Done!
+Eddy Croitoru you are not a pro...so shhhhhhhhh
YES FINALLY... runners are the best!!! Loving adidas right now!!!
Imagine paying 900$ for a NMD lol
In 2021 they depreciated a lot and Jerry Lorenzo went to Adidas
just bought a nike zoom elite 7 at the outlet last week and im enjoying it. man its super light and comfortable. looking forward to getting more runners. got my eyes on those ultraboost.hehe
I prefer Ultra Boost over NMD
just my opinion though.
NMD overrated af.. On another note, does anyone have some Ultraboost - Cream in a size 12? haha
Bryceon Tovi I feel like the materials on NMDs are very stiff, you get what I'm saying? hahaha
Yeah fasho! The UB's really get it going for me.. anyway have you used the GOAT app before by any chance? KarlBatacers
Bryceon Tovi nope, what's that?
Cream colorwway for UB, like an off white sihlouette. firrrre!
Dope video . I'm over J's have been for the past 5+ years . Love my runners
You guys forgot about air max!!

How about Air max and roshes?
Roshe's aint runners
+justOnerandomguy roshes are runners
defs getting new runners! thanks for enabling me xx

The black Tubular runner looks FIRE AF.
You forgot about Reebok's... The Kendrick Lamar ventilator? Come on man
Dem Bape Shark Hoodie! 🔥🔥🔥
Calling New Balance, Asics, and Saucony "high fashion" lmao
Why ??
6:19 uh oh, Andrew is turning into DJ Khaleddddd
how did you miss out asics onitsuke tigers?
And the kayanos and nimbus
the 'oreo' NMD's are sooooo goooddddddd!!
Oreo is only for Nike and Jordan
No...
yes
No
+Karim Selim yes? 😏
Even though there's a lot of hype behind the NMDs, I'm not a huge fan of them. I prefer the ultraboost.
100% agree
You are God damn right
Agree 💯% Not as comfy but way cheaper so kinda torn 😂
My favorite runners are the roshe runs, yeezy 350 boost, puma carsons, new balance 574, Jordan eclipse, & saucony shadow 5000
Best runners.
1. Gel Lyte 3
2. Huaraches
3. Air Max 1
where's new balances?
The Erik1119 uhhh. Don't hate me but I personally don't like New Balances that much.
1. Mizuno wave prophecy 5
2. Mizuno tenji
3. Asics Kinsei 6
only airmax are good runners
Fredy P. Nah I own air max 1s and gel asic 3's and I would say there both good. I was able to break in the air maxes a lot more so more comfort. But asics are really comfortable too like clouds when ur walking.

I love it when americans talk about runners and have no clue
Hottest Shoe: NMD, Space Jam 11's, and Hyper Adapts
the girl didn't know what she was talking about...

i like this girl. BUT GUYS, PLEASE STOP SAYING COLLABO
Love when you guys make sneaker videos!
cringed when she mentioned new balance & asics as a high fashion sneaker.
A lot of people into pale wave love new balances, & nbs and asics are popular with Asian streetwear. So in a way she's right I suppose(?) but when I think of high fashion sneakers, I think of Y-3, RO Ramones, & raf ozweegos
+VerdugoVibes Depends on how people wear them. Material and price point tend to be pretty high
Six God Oh I'm so sorry great /fa/ god I will tell all the reddits & warn them
also Reddit doesn't take it too seriously either...
Bring back life of a sneaker head

I love the life of a sneakerhead series
Does this woman even know the Word high fashion.. NB isnt high Fashion.. Y-3 etc are.
