Do you pair your wine with anything? Like cheese?
@@robert9595 The best thing to pair wine with is Salt and Vinegar chips. No cap.
Bro that wine is worth like $10 at Costco. I think it is a cash grab.
@RoseAnvil I haven’t watched ALL your videos, it I have watched a number of them, do you ever put the shoes on to see how they feel to YOU?
This is why your channel is so important. People deserve to know what they’re paying for. If it’s crap, then they should be called out.
facts, Rose Anvil speaking truth!
if a RUclipsrs involved it's a cash grab
@@stellviahohenheimnah some youtubers have quality merch/products
@@stellviahohenheimthis isn’t always true, look at things like game theory merch, it took them years and they basically funded a start up because they wanted high quality custom merch they could have full design influence of.
Funny how for positive reviews of things, the original creator or brand always comments down on the review videos, and when met with criticism, the owner never even comments.
These are fractionally better than a $19 Wal-Mart special.
I'd give it better than wallys best. I would even buy them but my limit is 100.
$9. On the street ....even comes with the "NYC" "AIR" and a "FASHION" print... Disgusting
Nothing is better than a 19$ wal-mart special, what are you talking about?
And you will be the one working at Walmart lol. Don’t hide your poor wallet behind fictional reasonability.
@@dewaynehowse231Walmart shoes were designed to hurt your feet.
I'm not a shoe guy but if you tell me $200, I'd instantly go for an Ultra boost.
Every week I love this channel more and more.
Well researched, knowledgeable and, above all, honest.
I laughed out loud when the inside of the shoe was revealed. There's little to no tech or design features that makes the sneakers worth $200.
I'd say it's a 12 dollars worth of materials so the profits are insane.
Literally my friend made a better shoe with duct tape and foam, I shit you not.
what to expect the founders are from Pakistan
@@hritiksingh369 what does nationality have to do with any of this?
Poor Jordan 1 knockoffs with youtuber tax.
'Celebrity' products are usually just branded alibaba products...
Exactly, why buy celebrity brands anyway?
LTT store doc tom 😁
These are not Alibaba shoes. They have some sort of patent for the midsole. But I see your point
This isn't that though, is it? This is an honest attempt that has fallen short. It's nothing like a rebrand from China.
@@presterjohn71it might as well have been…
Thank you for your honest review! I have been waiting for your openion :)
Excellent review. I just started watching Rose Anvil reviews this evening and realized I've been watching now for a couple of hours. :) Very well presented in terms of content, presentation, and style. GFX are well above average a channel of this size as well. Stuff like this makes RUclips worthwhile.
I think its a cash grab due to NEVER seeing him wear them in videos... hes always wearing bred 1s
Pay attention to what the designers be wearing and modeling their stuff off of. Smart man
He does wear them if u look at his vids also its not like his video goes straight to his feet hes not a sneaker RUclipsr
He is right, in MKB latest video thumbnail he is wearing breds!!!
Lol even hes like im not wearing these in every video, this tells me his sneaker head identity of wanting to be seen with dope sneakers beats his own brand aka he doesnt like them much.
most who made their own sneaker would be wearing them in every video, for advertising AND becasue they made them. @@kohndoe168
@@yung.g0dno he's not, but he is a sneakerhead
I like Marcus as well, but people are incredibly lenient with him to give him a pass on this. At some point someone in his organisation needs to figure out what quality they put his brand on. These are Apple prices but it's Escobar quality.
I used to love him but evrr since I got older I feel like how he covered tech had changed snd I feel betrayed by marques
Some of the videos he makes I think he sees himself as *important* or idk, I think he's a sellout and doesn't show emotion. Never trust a man who doesn't show or talk about their emotions
cant disagree more but everyone got their opinion
@@CocoKoi321- It's hard to get excited when you've handled as much tech as he has over the last decade, especially now that smartphones and laptops have reached their peak.
That doesn't mean he's no more fun; he's just matured. So I can't begrudge him.
And yes, he is opinionated, but that's also what has attracted me to his channel from the beginning-that and his video quality.
Overall, I think it's unfair to expect him to remain the same after all these year. The guy has grown; he runs five channels so his approach had to change.
But if you're looking for someone fun, please give Arun from MrWhoseTheBoss.
Apple prices? This is absolutely run-of-the-mill pricing for modern sneakers. Everything hovers around $200 and there is a massive range in quality. I think these shoes kinda suck, but you're clearly paying for the extended R&D and collaboration process Atmos did with Marques, his RUclipsr brand cache, and the low-volume production numbers for a tiny startup brand. Their pricepoint makes perfect sense even if you want to hate it.
Yeah same, I don’t really get the comparison they’re making either. Escobar shit was just actual apple (or Samsung) products but in a facade pretending to be something better. It was still a genuine product just dressed up as something it isn’t. These shoes are just a scam and not worth the money. They’re not an already good product dressed up as something worse, they’re just a bad product pretending to be good
Thanks for keeping it real Anvil. Very informative and it teaches me to research before buying a shoe not just for the aesthetics but also for the other nitty-gritty of shoes.
Excellent review. Watched it twice. I was wondering about these shoes when I saw him present them for sale. And felt the same way, if they were a cash grab. It’s painful when you see something picked apart and the real quality shown, but I feel we should be made aware of what we are spending or money on since the costs of things are going up. I like how you showed me but another pair of Docs wasn’t worth the price I was paying and that hurt but it was great info.
Good on Marques for venturing into merchandising. His die hard fans will have no problem spending $200 to support him.
Good on Weston for giving an honest and informative review, which is the whole reason we are here.
This is a great take. Bummer that the shoes aren't amazing
sheeps will always be sheeps
Well, I do lose a bit of respect for Marques in this. He's intelligent and knowledgeable enough not to put his name on something that is essentially trash riding entirely on his name.
Marques was "anointed" by youtube and big brands... his technical knowledge and experience are limited - he just reads the product specs...
How can a tech review channel have "fans?" Considering that most of them don't exude much personality to appear neutral, that never made much sense to me.
You shouldn't feel bad because that's why we look up for you to make a better smart purchase. Thank you for what you do
Exactly, he's honest reviews is his currency.
he knows that lol he legit said it but no good person simply wants to talk bad about something
You shouldn’t apologise for telling the truth in a review. Marques does the exact same thing when reviewing tech, he should expect your honest take when reviewing his products too.
Thank you for the breakdown and transparency. Greatly appreciated.
The shoe looks very cheap, like what you find on the shelves at Ross / Marshall’s for $20. Crazy that they charged people $200 for these!
It’s all in the name baby!
He didn’t even had to cut it open, looked cheap AF from afar.
@@PsyDei for reals!! The “leather” panels looked insanely cheap
It’s 200 dollars becauze of production costs when you make a limited supply. Happens to all sneaker releases when they’re upcoming brands.
Ross and Marshalls are resellers though.
Thanks for posting this, it ain’t easy but someone has to keep things real with influencer collabs.
I appreciate this video and your honesty so much, Weston.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS !
MKBHD has 100% responsibility over his product because it was his idea and he put his name on it. It's his responsibility to learn what makes a good shoe and to apply that knowledge to his product.
10000000% agree
He uhhh... he's been wearing different iterations of them forever and specifically points out a few instances in his announcement video. Maybe look?
Bing🎯
he also marketed it himself I believe. the blame would rest on him
@@CatalystOfFire he still put his name on a bad product and promote it, with pointing out the differences or not. Bad shoes are bad shoes.
I effing hate this so much, ethics just go down the drain for so many people when it comes to money. And I disagree that there is no responsibility of Brownlee. If I would put my name on a shoe I would make sure that it is good quality and keeps what is promised. He apparently didn't.
Edit: Thanks for the review, as always. It's been years now that I got away from sneakers, except for sports. Throwaway shoes is such a bad concept imo.
Exactly. It's disgusting, and mkbhd has 100% responsibility over his product because it was his idea and he put his name on it. It's his responsibility to learn what makes a good shoe and to apply that knowledge to his product.
He should have just done t-shirts. People have different expectations of t-shirts.
@@ek-nzyeah, he set himself up.
At the end of he day, the furthest people should go with merch is a t shirt and stickers.
These people aren’t designers. Love marques but why is he doing this collab
Great review. Thank you for your honesty.
Appreciate the honesty! Real talk
thank you for being so honest, I was thinking that shoe no way is worth that amount of money
But ... Yeezys
Taking shots and in the right direction. This was a very fair review.
I pre-ordered and got a pair. They were surprisingly comfortable when I wore them; I was not expecting that. I would say the quality didn't feel the best, and I also had initial doubts about durability when I had them. Pretty much your video confirmed all my thoughts about the shoe. It was priced high to be a RUclipsr premium and worth really around $60-$70 if it was anything but coming from MKBHD.
These shoes made me rethink everything coming from MKBHD.
You can still get nmd at that price point. So really 30 to 40 bucks
Thanks for your service!
Obviously a cash grab. Not that he needs it, the dude is loaded.
Got rich off of talking about phones without ever having to do proper reviews of said phones. Dude is killing it in that sense.
@@corail53His audience is the illiterate masses and he was artificially propped up by the mainstream media. No one gets an audience with Bill Gates and Obama unless they carry favor with the right people.
@corail53 didn't think anyone else would notice am be seeing this for years his reviews and not reviews he uses the camera to say if the phone is good or not ,like most of them if we being honest
@@seanmurdock2279good for him being so popular but yeah i don't watch his videos if i want a review let alone an in depth one. Even jerryrigeverything has better reviews and his consist of destroying the product.
Some idiot with a camera starts a RUclips review camera phones and gets loaded and now he thinks he’s the smartest person in the world. Typical. Anyone who buys that shoe should be ashamed of themselves
Fair review to be honest. Here's to hoping MKBHD and ATOMS can do more for the next version.
This guy thinks there'll be a next version...
After this embarrassment, one could only hope not.
Keep...dreaming
@@MrDr_Jesusthey either massively improve for the mark 2, or drop them forever.
I don’t think they sold very well at all
Excellent video! I’m a Mkbhd Fan myself and it’s very cool to see, how you review such a different product category and what a shoes worth should be.
Great video! The editing in this one was really really good, keep up the good work!
just one thing: that rod running down the center of the calipers acts as a depth gauge when it sticks out, so you don't have to wedge the jaw in at an awkward angle. sure, three digits of precision on something like this isn't a critically huge deal, but it's good to see tools applied at their full potential.
Shoving it in there and grabbing the sole between the calipers probably gives you a more precise measurement than trying to balance the depth gauge on that squishy foam.
@@blarfroer8066nah. Use these all the time, for their purpose the depth gauge would work well. You just have to be careful,but it's a precision instrument,off course you have to be careful
@@blarfroer8066I strongly disagree.
I’m betting they measured properly off-camera. Using it improperly just to get the shot of the calipers with the number displayed.
@@chaschuky999 Doubtful. They could've just stuck a scale in there and left the calipers in their case instead of looking ignorant and incorrectly using a tool.

I can't believe he said that as he tried to sell a knock-off Jordan 1 Bred made up of wal-mart tier synthetic material.
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA oh my goddddd thank you for that quote I just spat my drink out
Cap bruh real one
That’s the power of marketing, baby 😩😩
Is that really the pitch? Man, he should have just said buy these shoes to show your support for the channel. Then the markup makes sense, and people can buy fan shoes if they like that kind of thing. Perhaps these will be collectible?
Great video! Thanks for the honest review!
Love your videos, i would like to see an review of the Jordan 1 ZOOM CMFT 2!
of course it’s a cash grab. ain’t no shoe like that should cost $200. lol
I'm not saying he definitely knew the quality was bad, but I think it's a bit over-generous to assume he had nothing to do with it. It was a collaboration after all, and he's made claims about the shoes that are untrue. Like saying they're suitable for all seasons when they're not.
He went for maximum profit by using ultra cheap materials.
Been following this channel since 20k, Crazy to see their success. !!!!!!
Good job man. Keep making these
that's a bummer. I really like MKBHD's videos for gadgets and tech stuff and have always found him to be reliable and transparent
aye. he is decent when talking about electronics made by others.
Like a lot of reviewers on RUclips his livelihood depends on getting views, getting his viewers to engage with his sponsors and selling merch. They do that by making videos about the most useless and idiotic gadgets possible. They basically promote mindless consumerism through sponsored "infotainment" content. What do you expect? Do you really think integrity is compatible with their livelihood?
I mean, we live in a world where we're starting to feel the effects of climate change pretty heavily, where pollution is a huge problem and yet there are tons of clowns pushing useless gadgets and selling plastic shit through their yt channels because they like "cool tech 😎" (but what they like is mostly making obscene amounts of money).
Alright I'm done ranting now 💞
@@Hayantor
Like you are spending some quality time on the comment section of a Leather man!
he's never been a reliable source for tech reviews ever. His videos are enjoyable but that's it.
@@k7riePretty much. He just regurgitates specs and really never goes into depth about if someone needs the products. He's an advertisement, and ads work to sell products, so ofc he doesn't want you thinking if you actually need it or not. He's entertaining, but not informative.
for someone who makes reviews mkbhd really dropped the ball on this one…
He doesn't make reviews, or at least not good ones.
He makes surface level observations about the most common consumer products that most people are going to buy anyways. You could make the same content by reading the products info page or quick start guide.
@@MyOldNameWasTaken as soon as he became obsessed with phone screen bezels I knew he had nothing to add. Nobody cares but they gotta find stuff to complain about.
@@MyOldNameWasTaken Congratulations! You have defined review with review. "to examine something again, especially so that you can decide if it is necessary to make changes"
Quite literally what he does and so well that the has become the biggest tech RUclipsr... There is a differnece between tech, defacto abreviation for technology, and technical reviewer (example Gamer's Nexus with PC Components)
@@MyOldNameWasTakenisn't that how reviews work?. Making the consumers understand what they are getting but getting a little technical. Don't downplay him like that.
@@earthlyvibes23 he doesn't get even near "technical"
He's practically a tech advertiser.
His reviews are more like infomercials.
I find people like you so very important. We work for our money so we wanna spend it wisely. And I feel like learning from you more about shoes. So you are a winner. Disappointed in the plastic shoe. Atom is a joke for doing that
Every RUclipsr is so afraid to call out cashgrabs by other big liked youtubers like mkbhd, MrBeast etc because they know that their fanbase would hate on them.
If I wanted a totally synthetic Jordan 1 lookalike, I would go down to Rack Room Shoes and get a pair of Puma Rebounds for $70 and then buy a good cushioned insole for another $20 or so. Probably only a bit over $100 with taxes and shipping costs for the insole and would honestly look better too…
What insoles do you recommend? Or tips for picking a pair since I’m not in the US. I imagine you size up? I used to be able to wear most flat shoes (except all stars) but with a bad ankle and a shitty back I’ve been almost only wearing my Nike crater impacts which just don’t go with a lot of my outfits.
Rebounds are $50 on sale right now too so it's an even better deal compared to MKBHD's shoes
@@AM-tl1ximove are pretty good I hear
@@AM-tl1xi I’m not a foot specialist so I can’t really give you advice catered to your specific ailments. You should probably go to a foot specialist to get a recommendation or perhaps a custom insole.
@@FabulousResults Lol nice. And as far as the low cost options of that particular look, Rebounds are actually not terrible. The plastic coating on the fake leather is applied well enough that it doesn’t immediately separate upon taking a few steps. Probably on par with Dunks if we’re being honest. 😄
The synthethic leather (vinyl) was visible from the high resolution pictures on the website lol...I'd guess the mesh isn't moisture-wicking either, it's definitely not 3D Spacer mesh. MKBHD should have partnered with a real shoe company/manufacturer in China.
You're operating under the assumption that he WANTED to make a shoe with a small margain. This shoe was clearly built intentionally cheaply, and intentionally marketed otherwise.
love the honesty
Honestly the super cush, nothing but foam, design actually appeals to me for one use case and that's being on set at a shoot, standing around on concrete floors for 8-10 hours. But for that purpose I guess we have crocs and clogs and other super foamy / cushy shoes. I can see why he would love them for his job though.
Weston, thank you for making content like this where the truth and consumer is forefront. It makes everything so fun to wach/support because it is genuine stuff from fantastic genuine staff. Thanks everyone at RoseAnvil!!!
Gotta keep these influencers in check. I love mkbhd and his videos, but this sneaker is not on brand with what we would expect from him.
It's absolutely on brand. Did you really watch the videos?
@@mipmipmipmipmipyes. They are high production value. You’d expect the sneakers to match that level of quality
omg haven't seen your videos for a while, and your editing improvement is off the chart. good job dude
just commenting for the algorithm but i was looking forward to this video!! well done!
Good that you speak truth! You may upset a few but we need honesty on this platform.
I've been wearing Atoms for a few years now. When I bought my first pair, they would send you three pairs a quarter size apart (so 10.25, 10.5, and 10.75 for me who usually wears 10.5) and you could keep the two shoes that fit you best even if they were different sizes. So the two I picked were the best fitting shoes I've ever had (left 10.75, right 10.5). And the quality was good... For $60. They still do the quarter sizes but they don't try the three pair try-on and different sizes for each foot thing anymore. But it's still a pretty ok shoe... for $60. I really couldn't imagine paying more for them.
Marques needed to do the collaboration with you! Great video. Thanks :)
I’ve been watching every now and then but you got a subscriber with this video ! I like how you maintained your integrity and how nicely you said it but 💯 gave an honest and informed review.
Amazing review. Much respect for the honesty. We'll done!
This is why i've always loved your channel, you are just honest, no matter who's behind the product, you rate and judge the product itself and that ain't easy. Nice work man.
Thanks for a review !
Thanks for honesty
I've been waiting for this review sense Marques announced these. I love MKBHDs content and honestly am inspired a lot by Marques' mindset when it comes to RUclips but when I saw these things as a big sneaker head I definitely wasn't in love with them. I'm very glad that this was a fair review that was a little harsh when deserved. With someone as big as MKBHD it wouldn't be weird for the review to be muted a little to not upset him or his fans but as expected from the Rose Anvil it was fair and didn't give him a pass on everything but also did take into account things like the company size and their goals.
Great review as always!
Great review. I don't think I have seen anyone review an Atoms shoe before and was wondering how the quality was.
FINALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY a fair, clean and 100% open review !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS to you dude!
and don't apologies AT ALL! trying to sale sh******t as gold and revealing it it much much than the same sh*****t gold they sale to us.
I've been waiting for this episode!
Not just Atom's fault. He has a responsibility to protect his brand (name) as well.
He should have reviewed prototypes before release.
Certainly doesnt deserve a pass just because he's likeable.
The worst part is that he did… He talks about how many versions he iterated through, and teasing them in videos before the announcement. It’s so disappointing
190 for zero leather in a tall shoe, yeah that's a cash grab.
All these years of watching and trusting his "reviews" blindly. Never again.
I dig the background music!
That’s why channels like yours exist man, thanks for the great review!
You can use the stick on the calipers (other end) to measure depth.
I came to say this, but seems you beat me to it!
For his first big collaboration (something everyone would buy), you would think he would come of the gate with something top tier. He may not be a sneaker reviewer, but he is a sneakerhead and he reviews a lot things outside of tech that would give him an idea about product quality.
He's a Jordanhead, not a sneakerhead. He only wears popular Jordans and the occasional NB. Ask him what his favorite Avias were or to name 5 brands that aren't Nike, Adidas, Puma or Reebok that had a temporary influence in the scene.
He's a fan of Jordans; This does not make him a sneakerhead
It takes a big ego to go big on something with little to zero experience.
I fully understand and love you both
Don't f$&king feel bad man!! This is what you do, you are helping us understand a scam. Thank you
These remind me a lot of the Van's Ultra Lights that were like 100% foam soles. I LOVED them from a comfort side of things, BUT they were Van's that cost me $65. Which is a way better price.
Ha, I just made the same comment. Sk8-Hi Lite in grey was my go-to shoe. I was okay with sacrificing the durability for comfort for less than 100 bucks. Great looking shoe, ultra comfortable. Regular Sk8-Hi feels like you're wearing concrete blocks at the end of your feet. Wish they still made them.
Best sneakers channel on RUclips, I like how you're honest and didn't reviewed this shoe like that one sneaker RUclipsr who definitely was not all honest and even said good things about this shoe just because to be in the good books of MKBHD. I've nothing against MKBHD fans buying this shoe btw but there's no way this should cost $200, the max something like this should cost is like $40
at 6:16 in the video you need to use the "tail" or bottom of the caliper to measure depth. (use the depth rod on the calipers. First, unlock the top screw and adjust the thumb screw to get the rod to stick out. Continue to twist the thumbscrew until the end of the beam scale touches the top of the hole. Then, move the rod so it sits flat against the bottom of the hole.)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. The second he unveiled the shoe, I was anticipating your deconstruction.
High price points enable snob appeal to be satisfied by purchasers. A retired friend painted as a hobby for years and his wife wanted the paintings out of the garage. He sold some for $25 or so at flea markets. He got a space at an outdoor street art fair and sold the same paintings for $2,500 a pop. He sold out.
Did he tell the buyers VanGogh painted them, or did he tell them he did? That's not selling out; that's getting paid. Not at all analogous to this situation.
@@mississippster-qq7wc He sold out of paintings, not that he sold himself out for money.
🧢
True, though rather than snob I'd say there's a certain minimum people automatically associate with decent quality. I highly doubt MKBHDs fans are going around bragging about their shoes
I love this video. MKBHDs Fake Premium Shoes 😂
Price is my key and only consideration with new-ish brands.
Of course they won't be highest quality. So when I need highest quality, I know where to find it.
Would love to have any Asics review. Cool vid!
Watching Marques' video at the time of release, it sounds like the design process was extremely long. I'm wondering if maybe Atoms approached him about a collab, discovered he took it waaaay more seriously than they were expecting, and without the massive infrastructure that their competitors have, ended up having to charge the consumer for an R&D process that was costly to them. Either way, happy to see an honest review of these, and looking forward to better work from MKBHD and Atoms.
I don't buy that. All the Atoms shoes looks like they are similarly built but with only a mesh upper, and the cheapest ones they sell cost $145. It's more likely that Atoms are the ones doing the cash grabbing, and Marques just put his design on them and gets a kickback.
Lol no. I can certify that if a product is going over budget it gets pulled unless an interested party funds it instead. This was developed 100% as a cash grab off of MKBHD's name with suburban audiences.
Following both channels for some time. When MKBHD launched it with the knowledge you taught me I already thought this was a cheap ass cash grab. Good to see you finally test it. Has nothing to do with the respect for Marques because he is great in what he does, anyone can make a booboo. Still enjoy both of you guys content.
Ikr, when he showed the design, it looked so basic like those generic unknown brand shoes, I was hoping that materials used would be good and then he said vegan leather and mesh and I already lost interest at that point then he said they were launching it for 190 and I just laughed for two minutes straight. I live in India and I can get you a pair with similar materials and design for 20$ here.
I really like you has a youtuber, youre honest and straight forward. 👏
Thanks for saving me money yet again!
Here before MKBHD leaving comment in here 😂
As a partnership with atoms which already has made commitments to vegan materials and sells there shoes at questionable prices I hope most people who bought this shoe knew what they where buying, especially since mkbhd specifically talked about the materials in his video on the shoe.
Edit: just for context atoms other products sell for $145 and are made from the same/similar materials
So, cheap materials being sold for an insane amount of money. Those synthetic fabrics aren't resistant to wear as true leather.
Damn. I thought their other shoes would be reasonably priced. What a joke
@@Muhluri it's insane that he'd out his name in such cheap product.
Reminds me of when Vans came out with the Sk8-Hi Lite. I LOVED that shoe. Could pick up a pair for less than $100 bucks. Super lightweight and comfy, but definitely not durable. I'm okay with sacrificing the durability for comfort though. I wish Vans still made it, it was my go to shoe in grey.
All jokes aside I would love that colllab!!!! Let’s get these two to work together!
One thing you are forgetting is that in small run product designs (these won't be mass produced) where some R&D needs to be done, will make a the product cost more from that alone. Not to mention a "brand" premium. So comparing the cost directly do a mass produced shoe that is not "branded" is not apples to apples comparison. Granted, even with that in mind, it still seems like it's a bit of a steep cost.
A rebrand of an existing, proven pair would have been a more realistic and much less waste of everyone's resources.
yep just one look at all involved in making this shoe convinced me immediately of cash grab
Great review. Saved me couple of hundred bucks
For 189 one can get all the great sneaker brands out there. This is just an example of how creators and businesses try to take advantage of viewers & subscribers. Personally I wouldn't wear them even if they were for free.
On my momma they look so baddd I couldn’t even watch the video I had to turn it off right away
yeah kind of insane to see an across the board failure of a shoe like this. looks incredibly cheap even from a distance
thank you for the honest review
i was considering getting this shoe and I'm waiting for this episode. I hope he MKBHD is listening. Lets see next version if there's any changes. Anyways keep it up Rose Anvil.
Im bullying anyone I see wearing these
They definitely paid him a few million for this collab. I’ve never heard of atoms before so this was most likely an advertisement to get people to buy their other shoes
would love to see a breakdown of the Copa Mundial soccer shoes. A little out of your normal wheelhouse, but they’ve been making those kangaroo leather soccer shoes for almost 30 years now and they are my personal favorite
I thought this going to a collab type video with mkbhd, “they’re great!” But I was pleasantly surprised- mad respect for the honesty 👊
