Great review. An update after 2 or 3 more weeks of hard skating would be great and should be part of any thorough skate shoe review. Hows the boardfeel compared to vans ultrakush?
@@Carl-ve1nr an update is definitely coming! I’m still skating them and they are holding up great! It’s weird because they have amazing boardfeel but a lot of protection at the same time. The insoles are much better than vans in my opinion and they have an extra layer of foam on top of the lasting board as well
@@eastcoastcurbkiller The extra foam on top of the lasting board are little details that makes a huge difference. Hopefully pairs can be accessible here in Manila.
Yo dude. Great review. I'm also in Atlanta. That slappy block looks fantastic. Would you mind sharing where it's at haha. I've been trying to find a solid place to practice slappys
@@ryanmcfadin09 1599 Memorial Dr SE. But they are doing construction back there so the ground is crazy dirty. It needs to either be swept or blown off probably before it could be skated again. There’s another curb spot not far that’s a wide open foundation that has several curbs that I put there. 601 E College Ave, Decatur
I'm curious about the fit. My foot's not super wide but shoes like the last resort fit pretty tight how do these compare? I've already ordered the chapter in the low so it doesn't really matter at this point but I'm curious.
@@jamesryan4325 Gilbert Crockett Vans are definitely one of the best Vans models. My only personal problem with other Vans skate shoes though, is they get soggy and flimsy right after, even with the popcush insole in there. These Warsaw joints however, Jamie has been very thoughtful to not only provide a meatier insole, but an extra foam padding on top of the lasting board which helps a ton with the shoe's structure and firmness. It gives us more impact protection and better support. These are things I learned also from basketball shoes, being a baller as well.
I like a really well-worn shoe, like almost falling off my feet. I like a stiff/substantial shoe for how they skate when they wear away. I don’t really necessarily even want a shoe to skate well brand new bc it makes me feel like they won’t last
Try white reebok club c85 with super glue on the toe area. Shredded around 15 white pairs since 2013. Also had black ones and suede versions. Gum soles on suede reeboks skate better but white leather ones work like heaven
The etnies screw mid vulcs were nice, didn’t bag out. They’re like etnies take on a half cab but not as stiff/substantial, but in a good way. They have an etnies x Santa Cruz model that look kinda crazy but I’d rock them 😭
That corporate money damn near untouchable. And all the kids see their favorite pro rocking new balance or nike adidas and a redbull hat so they follow suit
@@eastcoastcurbkiller yup and I need all the mm of paddling these days it’s not just cardboard under the insoles which are noticeably thicker than most for that price these days it has at least 2 more mm of padding under the insoles so much and. Nothing but good things about the shoes !
same price as a "Nike Sb Dunk" $109 retail is Insane Business model. Your gonna have to much comp at that price. Etnies Joslin In by far one of the best shoes in Skateboarding all around. Or the NB line up all of them are good. This shoe looks like direct copy of the Emerica Winkowski. Just honesty. Not hate. The new balance Villani looks like a better purchase the "sole" and the price.
@@TRAVIESO_NA these are the polar opposite of any emerica. The quality of materials are for sure better than anything soltech is putting out. And the villanis tend to mush out and lose form whereas these do not. Also the materials are significantly better on these than any of the other mentioned shoes. Build quality is top notch and is leading to great durability and skatability.
@@TRAVIESO_NA think about it this way…the Nike sb janoski is $95 and the blazer mid is $90. These are made way better than both in my opinion and are not much more. I think you’ll like em brother!
shout out to skating two truck brands lol The ventures are perfect for ledges, and those curb tricks looked nice on I think were ACE? classics or slappy trucks.
@@TRAVIESO_NA haha yeah I’m skating the venture v8’s on my normal board and am using the new holes to push the wheelbase in. And I’m using slappy lows on my curb board

Very insightful! I’m always amazed at how much you know about the is and outs of your set ups and gear.
@@officialmilitaryskate haha I’m a skate nerd for sure. Love ya bro and thank you so much for everything!!
Thanks for sharing, was waiting to hear how they skate, bought a pair this morning because of your review!
@@smbeidler man that’s awesome!! Hope you like em bro!
Thanks for reviewing these! Ordered mine waiting for the box now!
@@Ernie_Creates no problem bro! Great shoes for sure!!
NS backlip was so sick!
Hope these come to Australia
@@LBJ-85 thank you!!
Been waiting for someone to review these
@@bfmchalfdead9804 thanks for watching bro!

I love a good insole, I’ll keep them and put them in the next pair. I usually double insoles in skate shoes unless they’re thick like pop cush
Yes the 440 v2 is a special shoe indeed. Also on my pedestal. Looking for to checking these out in the low
@@Vondoobie absolutely love those…I think I’ve had 6 pairs since they dropped lol
I'm curious about the fit. My foot's not super wide but shoes like the last resort fit pretty tight how do these compare? I've already ordered the chapter in the low so it doesn't really matter at this point but I'm curious.
@@likespinningpats the fit feels a little more roomy in the toe box than last resort. Very comfy and doesn’t smush your toes
What is the impact protection like? I just bought a pair of Gilbert Crockett's, and the pop-cush insoles are good, but these look inviting!
@@erkoons these protect my feet better than vans. Took some hard primos and barely felt it!
The Gilbert Crocketts are my fave. They have that "wafflecup" sole AND the pop cush insole. Perfect balance of protection and board feel IMO

I’m not really a white shoe guy, except maybe adidas shell toes, but they look fresh.
@@diplenski these look so sick in the cream color for sure!!

The audio on this is insanely good
Cool shoe and thanks for posting a review. I'm interested in one as well, do you think these are up to par with Common Projects sneaker quality?
i have a wide foot, do they fit tight, or do they fit with a lot of room? should i go up a half size?
I’d love to see skate culture move away from all the corporate brands and start supporting skater owned companies again.
@@Nateashnine me too!!
That corporate money damn near untouchable. And all the kids see their favorite pro rocking new balance or nike adidas and a redbull hat so they follow suit
Just buy them ! I have the same ones so much cushion !
@@angelhasadeathwish that’s something I was really surprised about! Lots of cushion for a vulc!

Yes but apparently hes pushing these as more of a luxury brand rather than actual skate shoes.
@@eastcoastcurbkiller interesting. 🤨 hope they build a hype. Hopefully 🤞 quality over marketing. U convinced me to try a pair

Yeah I'm too poor to pay over 60 bucks for something that's getting wrecked on day one. If these ever go on clearance maybe
Is the fit true to size?
@@restr103 yes most definitely!

@@eastcoastcurbkiller slappy lows. That’s what they were looking for good.
Man, your pants so much style
@@pride5896 haha thanks bro! Straight from Walmart lol
@@eastcoastcurbkiller hahahah nice bro
@@pride5896 haha they are sick though. Levi’s carpenter pants. I think it’s the workwear collection
@@eastcoastcurbkiller Unfortunately, we don't have brands with good cuts and low prices here in Brazil.
I think it’s called lasting board
tread looks like its going to be a rock catcher like the es quattro.
@@32srt32 I talk about this in the video as well. It’s actually the complete opposite and hasn’t caught any.
❤🖤
These look eh 🤷
Are you ex military
Yes
@@LbcNunez-tm1ld yes I am
@@eastcoastcurbkillerthank you for your service sir. Also thank you for shredding and sharing your knowledge with us
@@taranmehta6356 appreciate the kind words brother! ❤️
