These were one of the first pairs of shoes I got when I got back into skating not too long ago and they’re still in my top 3 in terms of skating shoes. I even landed my first kickflip in them because the flick on it was so good! And they were comfy as hell the outsole insole combo is the reason I was able to skate after an Achilles injuries so many good memories with this shoe!
Nike. yeah they are pretty damn good.
Hey wow, these were my first pair of skate shoes after not skating for 17-18 years. I really liked them too. I also got a pair of Atlantics that were awesome as well. I would definitely buy another pair of those and these.
@@crkrcksteady the Atlantic is Vincent’s pro shoe, right? Always loved his approach to skating. My local had a grip of Lakai, éS, and Emerica drop for the new season. The quality difference of today’s Lakai models versus the Flare era are night and day.
Regardless, I landed my first kickflips in Mike Mo’s pro shoe. They were barely around before he left for DC. But god damn, the combo of flick, comfort, impact protection, and boardfeel puts them right up with the DC Mike Mo and Etnies Marana for being tough as nails while feeling perfect for a cupsole model.
@@ianturnbow7011 yeah. I've been skating a lot of vulcs lately but I really liked the Atlantic cupsoles. The lakai tread just doesn't last very long though.
I acquired a pair of these and they just happen to be the Pacifico collab. They look so damn clean, I still haven't rocked em yet and I don't know if I even wanna skate em they look so fresh... I typically end up skating everything tho, so its prob just a matter of time
I must say this is one of the first reviews I could watch beginning to end.
Much more professional and less of that awkward comedy shit!
Thumbs up.
for real
Appreciate you doing these core brands.
Same brother, same!!! I really like Christian's reviews but I only watch and care for the reviews of core skate shoe brands, don't give a damn about nike, adidas and the rest of the jock brands.
@@rioterism i agree cause i feel like non skater owned brands dont give a damn about the skaters but just want money, but i have to admit some nike and adidasshoes are actually good
These shoes are seriously some of my favorite shoes I’ve skated. The only problem I had was durability. By the end of the third week I had started to get through the out sole fully and had a blowout on my right shoe. Granted, I go through shoes very quickly, but even something like the Michelin maranas from etnies last me almost two months
I've been skating for 20+ the cambridge is definitely one of my favorite sk8 shoes of all time.
Solid, long lasting comfort, with a look that bridges the gap between old school and new.
As for the fakie inwardheel; it's just you. I'm a heel flipper and I love this shoe. Never had a problem with any of my heel tricks.
Def wanna see more es shoe reviews and sole tech shoes and lakais. Love the channel and also review more skater owned brands!
Yeah I will 👊
@@christianflores let’s go 👊
Keep the real skate brands coming!!!
This is one of the best videos you’ve ever produced. Objective facts, personal opinions, extra touches to emphasize the shoe’s strengths and weaknesses, and editing are all stellar.
10/10 review. And, there aren’t any dislikes. Hell yeah, man. I’d love to see a mid version of these puppers. Also, you’re more chilled out and better articulated than other videos. Love the vibe of the entirety of the review. Keep up the amazing work!
Me, a Brit.
“Tf is Cam bridge?”
Highly appreciated the watching of language and some good old core shoes
One of my favorite skate shoes, but yeah the ankle problem was happening to me too. And pretty bad, my ankle would be bleeding all the time. But still such a great skate shoe
Do some more lakai’s and new balance’s!!
Yup would love to see more reviews on those shoes
I skate Lakai pretty regularly and it seems that the low ankle protection is a pretty common issue in a lot of their shoes. I’ve even managed to bust my ankle open from my ankle making contact with the nose / grip over and over. It’s annoying, but I still like all the other aspects of their shoes. Next up on my list to buy from them are some high tops 😂.
Dude! Thanks for telling me yeah I don’t like it. Other then thy solid shoe for the most part.
@@christianflores Speaking of ankle support, after I ran through my pair of Cambridge’s I found some Emerica Pillars on deal and I’m loving them. Mid top design so it gave my scabbed up ankle some time to heal 😂. I think you should give them a try, they are incredibly durable. I’ve got about 5 months on them and they are holding up well. (Just swap out the laces)
I love when the defined edge is flush with the suede , for me that’s when I get my best flick
Just talked about this with my buddy last night. I will take a brand new shoe and rub the toe of the shoe (where I typically flip the board) across grip tape several times to get that nice transition. It kind of hurts knowing that I'm taking away several skate-sessions away from the longevity of the shoe, but my flip tricks are too grippy and hard to get a consistent flip with thst defined, new edge.
Keep those core skate shoe reviews bro!!! Really glad to hear you have nice impressions on these Lakais they are dope!!!
bless up, I just skated these in the exact same colorway. saw you wearing them in another video and was excited to see what you thought of them
Such high quality reviews been following since 30k subs keep it up still criminally underrated
!!!Review the lakai Telfords they look like dunks and skate amazing
this is just my experience but i’m more of a heelflip guy than a kickflip guy. the way i do my heelflips made it so the logo came off in my first session and i wore completely through the synthetic leather in about 3 sessions. i threw some duct tape on and kept skating but i also sprained my ankle on a hardflip about 2 weeks later and retired them. they def have a little life in them but they just weren’t for me. i tried sb dunk highs right after and found that they are almost perfect for my skating. not trying to bash lakai or promote nike but that’s what i found works for me. i enjoyed the review and keep it up!
I too have experienced the grip tape biting my heel more wearing these. Still a great shoe, highly recommend.
Got lakai Manchester’s then switched to Cambridge and they’re my new favorites
i just started skating a pair of these and i definitely have also been destroying my ankle on heelflips with these lmao, other than that absolutely love em so far
That’s one thing i notice a lot, shoe manufacturers don’t put that much padding on the heel
Yo how did they hold up overall with the heelflips and stuff?
i love the cambridge shoe, but i agree about the low heel collar area, i also would add one of the loops on the heel to help put on the shoe. I like the way the shoes feel on my feet, and i find them very aesthetically pleasing. I completely agree with literally everything you said in this video XD
Yuuuuuup. I feel yous.
More éS reviews would be awesome! The OG Accel, Silo SC, Quattro, and Evant are all high up there. One question though. I fucked up my ankles and wrists skating for too many years. Why don’t you review more mid and high top shoes?
Skated these- loved the board feel and control but the heel tab was too short for me to feel secure.
I’ve been watching you non stop for a week now, keep it up man
I grabbed a pair of black ones for $29 this winter. That color scheme you bought is sick though. Nice shoes.
I wear these and the Manchesters.....and i don't even skate! They're just damn comfortable and nice looking.
Agree. Skate shoes for old guys who no longer skate. 😆
I love your videos. Dont stop ever.😭❤️
Wow Christain shoots guns in his house… crazy. You know Dey not real
I love your reviews I get so excited when I hear a ping and see your video notifications
That’s awesome. Thank you
The best shoe review channel there is!
Subscribed homie. Get Dan to be your show tester and model …lmmfao Good shit
Yes when I kick flip and he’ll flip like above the tongue I would have like blood spots and my ankle would be like bloody and stuff so yeah you’re not the only one
I love the way these look, but me heel always slips out no matter how much I tighten the laces. It was a real bummer I couldn’t skate them.
Best skate reviews on RUclips, I watch every one
You’re not looking at me. I’ve been subscribed since you left Ride. Always watching.
Awesome vid, as always 👌
Have you seen the new Cambridge mids that were only just released a couple of weeks back? They look 🔥
Can’t seem to get them here in Oz, yet, but they’re definitely already available in the States.
Anyway, keep up the good work 👍
😊 Genuine unsponsored review and it made me smile because you are relaxed and friendly. Thank you, man 😊
genuinely fab youtuber for skating
Lakai is my favorite skate shoe right now
IMO The best looking Lakai Shoe for a simple shoe..
just bought a pair on the shoelaces can’t wait!
im currently using these in the erased x lakai white colour way and i totally agree on the stitching part as it ripped quite fast throughout my first week of skating the insole and the outsole it gave me extra confidence when doing any impacts and i hundred agree with this video. :)
I came to your channel to comment that you should review these and see this 3 hours after being uploaded
Just started inward heels .its reassuring to see others are ripping ankles on their griptape.i thought i was doing sometgung wrong but i see its common
Good stuff man. I’ve been looking at these for a while .
Great episode and and info 😎👍 one of my favorite brands of skate shoe
Yo thx for the review I was thinking about getting some and your video showed up just in time lol
Hey Christian! Maybe a comparison video on the regular nike dunks versus the nike sb dunks? Could be interesting as they are quite different. Then you should deconstruct the non sb nike dunks, and compare them to the Ishod dunks you cut up in the last video.
Still waiting for the rain to come…
Since everyone wants dunks, a review on the force 58s would be very very nice-
the alleyoop nike sb are rly close to dunks and skate great if you want a close feel to dunks
They are decent!
The éS Accel OG + Footprint insoles + your hella durable laces… quite possibly the best damn skate shoes to ever exist! lol
Review the Marana slips on shoes! They will get your kickflips into godlike mode! 🔥🔥Awesome video as always! 👍👍
Hey Christian! I hope we get a review of the 2021 Lakai Telford next.
Was waiting for this one! Hope you review the Adidas Copa Nationale soon
You should review the vans wayvee
That was a good review, I feel like it won't be much longer and you'll be designing your own skate shoes
hope u see this comment but maybe u should make different types of laces like those thick dunk laces or like different types of colors
Hoping u hit 100k by the end of 2021
I got a hole in the sole of these for 3 weeks of skating and they really feel flimsy and unstructured after a week and a half or so. Otherwise i liked them a lot
Hey I have a video idea, you could do a tier list of your favorite skate parts
I was not good when I had those but I don’t down navy like a two stair or three and they held it down self I still not recommend number impact they were fine
you have to do more new balance shoe reviews theyre boomin in europe rn
I will. Soon.
I had a similar version of lakai , they broke in quick and felt great skating but they wore out super quick they didnt last
Same
Sounds like most current Lakais
The biggest problem with that shoe is that there’s no form of support that would hold your Achilles. My heel keep slipping out of these pair. Good review BTW 👍
Same with the griffith shoes
so i’m not very good but i do a lot of ollies. for whatever reason, the way that i drag my front foot makes it so my ankle scrapes the grip tape pretty often. i have to wear like thicker crew socks
Prob rocketing them a lot. Try and even them out more.
I had a pair of thin ass new balance 212’s and I also had my ankle ripped up doing inward heels and variel heels. If you look it up you can see it has like no padding by the collar
I get my ish for $20 flat at my local skate shop. And the vans are $40 flat. Hella nice
Nice video bro. This channel deserves more subscribers
thanks dude :) and maybe ill get thekostons
Can you do a trick tip on nose slides
Im very courious to know how the Lakai Telford skate, It would be dope if you'd review those
I am hitting my ankle into the griptape when I’m doing heelflips in Vans slip-ons and that is why I dont like skating them. I thought I do my heelflips wrong or something but maybe the shoes are the problem.
Can you do a review on the Lakai Telford please? It'd be much appreciated! :)
Maybe.
@@christianflores Alright, thanks for considering! Can't wait if you do! :D
Will you make the Durable Shoelaces available internationally?
I disliked these shoes when I skated them. Hurt my feet and the suede wore through quick quite. Complete opposite of what you said haha
hey man you called me out that i’m not subbed but i am broski! hahahahaha just kidding fire vid my g!
Very solid review thank you
My man using that new g-eazy in the video
I love lakai shoes and I love what you do man. Much mahalos!
TELFORD REVIEW PLEASE. Easily one of my favorite shoes to skate
I want some lakais but I feel like the smaller brands have lower quality and don’t last too long
I’m eating Panera Rn and this video is really making my experience eating this broccoli cheddar soup even betyer
Hahaha. Sick.
can u do a review of the SILO SC eS shoes, just bought them. Keep up the shoe reviews.
Cambridge is a solid skate shoe for me
How about some love for Axion? The Genesis would look nice on you
I like the shoe but wore down to the suede the first day and I don’t even flick that hard but the flick is great best shoes for kickfliping
The delux-lite insole is pure magic
I switched to these from the griffin and maybe it's because they're not fully broken in but the soles feel like an army boot (can't feel the shape of my board) and they are a little narrow..time will tell
I really loved these shoes but the two things that I didn't like was the inside heel wore down so quick and so much I started getting blisters and the tread was pretty bad.
Hey Christian can u do a review on the vans skate sid pro?
The Lakai Telford would be a cool review
Can you do the Joslin vulcs or the Marana slip-ons next
Hey Christian you should review SB dunk high
I usually hit my ankle when i try to heelflip and that's annoying
vudeo 76 asking for a review of the gilbert crockett vans
You should review the Vans Wayvee
Can you make a military green or hunter green pair of laces?????
i love this shoe its my second favorite other than the louie lopez mids
How about a review on any of these éS? Symbol, Cykle, Eos, Quattro, Evant, or Silo.
Maybe. I do want to do the OG XL lol. That shit is huge!
This was one of my favorite shoes ever
I have the same thing where my ankle touches the grip on heel flip tricks, it sucks.
