Do you Prioritize Style or Comfort?
Comfort first! What’s the point of wearing something stylish if it kills your feet
@@EverythingsBeenDone now K-Swiss needs to release their version of this
Simplicity? Yes. Platform pedals (large and pinned, like a deftrap) on any bike. Then wear any trail runner or workout shoe.

Style, meaning looking like a cringy hipster? No thanks ❌
Cycling is for cycling, not posing.
...Do you Prioritize Style or Comfort?...
I prioritize style AND comfort! -> that means: NO adidas or other hipster-shit on my feets! ;)
The confidence that comes out of knowing that you're riding in style far outweighs the small penalty you pay in discomfort. 😁
This is one of the most profoundly accurate things I’ve ever read on RUclips 😂
Style, meaning looking like a cringy hipster? No thanks ❌
@@sepg5084 Also, humor, meaning _not_ sounding like a crusty, cantankerous curmudgeon, both on the bike and off. ✔️
@@sepg5084 Here's something for you to consider... style is subjective. What you like will be different from what i like, and that's fine. Encouraged, even.
It's also not a given that the OP was referring to the trainers. It could be a whole range of different kit. I like to wear nice cycling kit, and would prioritise looks over comfort as i feel better when i know i look good. Again, personal preference.
Lastly, attaching labels to people like 'cringey hipster' makes you look incredibly unintelligent. If you have to resort to insults to get your points across, or make you feel good about yourself, there are wider issues at play, and you should take a look at yourself.
Have a great day though, Sep.
@@Phil-qz6oc Feel better about yourself now?
In 1978, aged 14 I got a Saturday job in Liverpool. I was paid £5 a day and saved for 4 weeks to buy a pair of Stan Smith’s. I thought I was the boss in those shoes. As I’m 60 in a few months, maybe I should buy my second pair of Stan Smith.
Do it! I'm rooting for you, pops.
Well I would first take stock in how much life is left in that first pair...🤣
@@DanielGonzalez-wn5qs 👴🏻
I definitely want to get one of these. I love two bolt cleats, and these models look better than the cycling-walking shoes I've had. Thanks for this video; I think it's one of your best. It's informative and funny.
Yes, bike messenger 🙋🏻♂️🚲 I didn't even know these existed. Thanks for this video. Just bought a pair.
You will be stoked!
I was a bike messenger. And the movie pedal which you showed the picture book from is one of the reasons I became one.😂🎉
Love this!!
Hi Dustin. I live in Japan and I didn't know about velostansmith until I saw this video. I bought it immediately after watching this video at adidas online store. Thank you!
Happy to help!
@@EverythingsBeenDone I received them today and tried them on right away, but I feel that the thick rubber band that wraps around the instep could be cut off, what do you think?
Still waiting for Vans to make an OldSkool SPD shoe :)
Half cabs would be sick
The Warner SPD used to be a thing 15 years ago or so
still waiting for most companies to make different width options, not just length options :(
I’d KILL for that
I‘d like a black/vegan VeloSuperstar!
HELL YES to this!!
Reminds me of my old Chrome Kursk. I loved those shoes back in the day
Thanks for the info. Been wanting a casual shoe for SPD. Wonder if you could do a vid that shows how to do a diy cleat shoe. I Imagine a gator skin brogue with cleats. That would be a hellish magic I’d want to see.
I was just thinking about a DIY cleat shoe...I dont know what the cleat holder would be? Love the concept though
Great review, thanks, I’ve had the velo sambas for a couple years now, and they have held up extremely well, although a little on the heavy side. How do the stans compare weight wise? Thanks Dustin. Keep up the good work man 🤟🤟
weight is basically the same, which over all is better than the Chromes shoes.
Been working in a bike shop with the White/blue VSamba's . They clean relatively easy-honestly they are great though one nag is that they do get hot. The Cold RDY version is of course even toastier.
The stan smith is my every day shoe, and I'm HYPED for the velostan.
Hey "The" Dustin of the great era of bike messengers ! nice one
Hey, thanks!
Hello Dustin, i have a question ( not related to this video) if you don't mind ? I remember watching an older video of yours where you mention " the sweet spot" refering to a particular tyre width for gravel biking... I just can't find this video anymore. Could you please tell me what's your favourite width for a 700c wheel /tyre ? I think it was 40 or 45 mm but I'm not sure anymore. Greetings from Belgium
The Stan looks very reminiscent of the Dunlop Green Flash. White is a lousy colour, though the reflective is a nice touch, but sticking 3M reflective tape onto the back of any shoe will make you more visible to motorised traffic.
I’ll stick to my Keen Newport sandals (Mar-Oct), super grippy on my flat Wellgo BU087 pedals, the reflectors took a holiday some time ago, though they are replaceable. Though today I was wearing TNF GTX Hedgehogs.
Perfect timing, as I may be going back to bike commuting
Perfect!
5 10 trailcross clips are better than either. More ventilation dry super fast and look like approach shoes. Function I've style unless you are cycling for coffee. Have the samba and the 5 10 the samba stayed home on the 1000 mile touring trip for a reason
I do enjoy that you actually pronounce adidas properly.😂
Respect!
Ardidars? That's not right. However, here in Australia we don't pronounce anything much the right way. 😀
Are they wider than the velosamba? The sambas are too narrow for my wide ass feet.
For style and comfort I ride in Adidas Busenitz skate shoes. Perfect grip with flat mtb pedals.
I love that shoe!
I have all white Velosamba, been riding in them for a year now, love them. Always taking them for bikepacking and city cruising.
I love to hear this kind of reportage. Your opening up my perception of what these shoes are capable of.
I've been curious about this style of shoe when I was shopping for cleats. I got a pair of the shimano cheapies that work well, but they are dorky when I am riding long haul and stop for a snack, or in the grocery store, etc. The cleat grinds a bit on concrete. I wished they were more tennis shoe like. I also have a pair of Adidas FIVETEN mountain bike shoes I wear when trail riding in the woods, and they are also awesome shoes. They have a super soft grippy bottom full of circles like these you showed here, just minus the cleat mounts. (they're for flat spikey mountain bike pedals). Anyway... thanks for the video, I may have to pick up a pair of this style once my shimano's wear out.
I've been riding the Sambas to the coffee shop on my Surly and I use them on the trails with my Chameleon. Love them but the Stan's look really nice
Im was inspired! I just took my velosambas on a MTB ride this AM...worked great. What took me so long?
I have a pair of velosambas as well. It's been my go-to cycling shoe except for longer rides in winter, in which case I have another pair. I've been using them to commute, wearing them all day long (working at a desk in a public administration), for bikepacking, and summer rides. Once they are broken in, they're very comfortable
This is the intel I was hoping to hear. Appreciate the report!
Adidas used to make a great cycling shoe under their Terrex line, (With 5.10 rubber on the bottom,) but they haven't made those in years.
Idk about these. I’m about the performance, so I’m thinking the commitment to the original style will yield a shoe that doesn’t have the fit I want on the bike. Shimano xc7 for clipless, Spesh 2FO for flats
we NEED VeloStars or Supervelos. RunDMC would approve
Definitely need a Superstar option, it's the only Adidas I've ever worn. As a New Yorker gotta have the shell toes.
I got the Samba on the back when you highlighted the shoes,a while ago, still rocking them in black,the white Stan is a shade too bright for my street cred😂!!
How are you velosambas holding up? do you wear them consistently?
Kind of!!, I rotate with a pair of Scott 90's MTB shoe,very comfortable and repaired many times,but the Samba is broken in and will be my urban and road shoe for years to come, more since I run winter boots for 6 months 😅
I'm new to this channel. Are there other clip in cycling shoes that are good for road and also more walking ? I'm taking a cycling trip that also requires a lot of tourist'ish walking and I'd like to pack only one pair of shoes.
Specialised h2O .. nice wide toebox. Good walking capabilities
I ran the Chrome Kursk Pros and the cleat wasn’t nearly recessed enough so I still changed shoes once I got where I was going.
I know this struggle. I had those shoes as well. I personally never liked them for riding or walking. This category is a tricky one to nail the balance on, but I think Adidas is doing a great job all things considered
Love the spiritualized shirt🫡
Ill just put this right here...just in case ;) dustinklein.com/shop/spiritualized
Always been a samba guy but these definitely look like something to add to the collection
Sambas are sooooo good!
I've been using the Velosambas for about 2 months. On short rides it's pretty nice and I love the way it looks, but it's a little too narrow for me. And knowing how they fit and feel now, I'd go with the Smiths. At the end of the day comfort is king.
Totally on point, good call.
Honestly, on how both of them are looking, The Stan Smith Velo looks like it’s gonna be better for wide foot people, and the Velo Samba for the narrow ones. The SS looks like it has a rounded toe, while the VS has a pointed toe one. I might be wrong, I don’t own any of the shoes, wanted one for the longest but haven’t really committed to ‘em yet.
you nailed it exactly. SS is slightly roomier than the sambas
love your shirt 😂
I'll just put this right here...just in case ;) dustinklein.com/shop/spiritualized
Adidas bought 5-ten a few years back, any chance the sole has the 5ten legendary grippiness or are they usual stan smith compound ?
Some of their flat pedal shoes have, (Terrex line,) but they seem to have left all of that to their 5.10 shoes for a few years.
is there something for a 3bolt cleat setup? For us road cyclists ?
not from adidas and unlikely to happen due to the nature of the cleats themselves -- 3 bolt cleats are inherently going to stick out. that being said, i would recommend just switching to spd anyway as the power transfer is nearly identical and they are just so much better any moment you aren't clipped in
i have the velosamba and althought i love them-the toe box is just not wide enough for me and my feet just cant do it for long periods of time. For the Velostan- is the toe box wider?
I know exactly what your talking about. I keep thinking the Velosambas as I have will loosen up in the Toebox but they haven't quite really. This Velo Stan Smith on the other hand. Did not pinch my toes the way the sambas do obviously everybody's foot is different but if you had to pick between the two, the stands would be the way to go for a roomier toe box
I have 3 pair of velosamba. what’s the question?
Please review the Vecnum suspension stem!!
Great lead. Im on it!
A velosuperstar would be awesome!!
i will usually pick a heavier, more comfortable shoe. I have had super light weight running shoes, but they die fast. Ultimate problem is I have a wide (2E) foot and finding quality shoes is limited.
You founded Candence Collection? Is the company going under? Is there going to be more bibs soon? They were my favorite..
I sold the brand in 2016
@@EverythingsBeenDone Rad! I did not know.
Samba's got style because the of the stripes, great for gravel and city riding. while the velostans shouts minimalist perfect for a fixie rider.
I predict the Velo All Star and Velo Superstars would be coming soon as future product lines.
Velcro superstars with steel toebox please!
Thanks!
I love the samba, but the velosamba sucked! Super uncomfortable at 20 miles or over. Walking in them was too stiff, also. Typically, something that comes in between a cycling shoe and a casual sneaker to walk in, is neither and fails imo
I feel you on this. They are trying to strike a nice balance, which is tough.
I love my velosamba but ONLY for short rides. In socal they just run too hot. I’m now running cages with regular sambas as my everyday setup for commuting.
you nailed it. I just rock vans bmx slip ons (slightly thicker/stiffer sole) and flat pedals for my urban escapades. it's the best balance for me.
See, I disagree - at least riding in the PNW, I can do 30-40 mile rides with the velosamba easy, while also comfortably standing for 8 hours as a barista.
right now im commuting with flats and a folding bicycle because trains ban normal bikes during peak hours or demand an extra ticket for them. my go to shoe rn is just a normal rebook sneaker.
As a former tennis player (public parks, not country clubs) who rocked the original Stan Smiths, I'd have to go with the Velo Stans -- classic. The Sambas never did it for me.
I was a kid in the 70’s when brands like Adidas, Nike, Puma etc we’re just starting to be used as casual wear “sneakers,” off the tracks and courts and these are a nice flashback….. these are definitely what I’d go with!
Now thats a legit backstory tie-in....These are basically your pro model shoe 😉
Ok it'a great but can we talk about that Spiritualized tee? 🤯
Vans old school low tops is needed
are the toe box wider? in the stans?
yes
I want one but I don't think they'll be good for wide feet 🥲
Dude Im riding my stan smith on mtb and its freaking comfortable
This is inspiring!
Now they need to make an iniki/i-5923 spd
How’s the walkability compared to Velosamba?
slightly better, based off of the toebox being just a bit roomier.
As a man of the 80's I love that stuff. Not sure why your vids have baskets?? Look into Chrome Industries bike shorts while you're at it. Messenger stuff you can wear.
Ill have to check out this chrome
Is that a real eames lounge chair?
Its a knock off and I love it!
Pricey plus I’m okay being the cycling dork
Yet another cycling shoe that doesn't come in wide
I think design and performance are no issue with these shoes but longevity is. As always, Adidas uses their almost loose-grain leather covered with a thick layer of plastic which will make this shoe wear faster than a traditional, half decently constructed cycling shoe like the Shimano AM5 or AM7. Do they look dope? Hell yeah, will they last any significant amount of time? Probably not.
Don’t like the look that much. But love that we’re getting more cycling sneakers. Hopefully this trend continues
I want them to do a cycling superstar
Honestly I just don't care about style, I just want good control over my bike and I feel like I only get that with a really stiff and solid sole. I'd wear a pair of these with stiff carbon reinforcement but I think nylon just isn't it for me (not to mention that nylon is probably the least environmentally friendly option here).
I actually do most of my cycling on Stan Smiths, don't ask me why, so this Is actually interesting to me.
We've got a match! What I really want to know is what color Smiths you run?
@@EverythingsBeenDone white of course! The key is keeping the laces clean, I like mint laces on worn white leather (or fake leather). I'll definitely try Velo Stan because some guy on the internet told me! 😂
in this case Sambas, but Superstar is the model they should do as VELO 100%.
YES PLEASE!!
I need an Adidas Rod Laver
Where can I sign the petition for a Supervelostar ?
I think you just did ;)
Ah dee-duhs. Stan Smiths for bikes! So cool!
But it looks like the perfect shoe for DKlein customization?!?!
OMG your RIGHT!!!
@@EverythingsBeenDone ok l am waiting on the new vid
Clipless? What is this? 2008??
Always dug the Stan Smiths so would be good to see a vegan version happen. The Vegan VeloSambas are nice, but a black vegan Stan Smith would be the chef's kiss!
I have a feeling it wont be long
I don't get the value of a stiff shoe. Even in stiff shoes, if you focus on where and how you touch it, you will inevitably conclude that it's still just your feet that are carrying the force and not the sole. In most cases, the only thing the sole will achieve is making your feet painful, stiff and atrophied. It's not me making this up; this has actually been well researched. The only thing that actually matters from an efficiency POV is that your soles should not compress (like running shoes do); obviously that really sucks up power.
Bike shoe manufacturers totally ignoring such facts and basing entire product lines on nonsense leaves me no choice but to not believe anything they say or make... 😅
By the way, the same goes for the foot position that's enforced by such shoes, which makes no sense either. If given large enough flat pedals and suitable shoes, just about all cyclists will eventually start riding midfoot and be perfectly efficient. After some pioneering by Pedaling Innovations supporting that for flat pedals, we now finally have a clipless shoe/pedal manufacturer (Ekoi) that's slowly moving the foot in a direction that makes sense and is science based instead of based on the myth that sells best (though even they appear to be very conservative in how far forward they move the foot). Nevertheless, cycling will probably remain the most myth-based sport of all time for quite some time... 🤣
can we talk about the break dancing pants, is break dancing coming back? sorry I am so out of touch #poppedlockedandloaded
breakdancing is in the Olympics this year!
Adidas pls make a Velosuperstar 😩
0:15 0:21 do yourself a favor and listen to Run-DMC’s song “My Adidas” to learn how to pronounce the name.
Take it from a German wise-ass: his pronunciation is the correct one. ;) The brand is named after the founder ADI DASsler, and Á-di-dás is literally the only pronunciation that makes any sense.
@@phonomat1587 oh! I didn’t realize that the content creator was German. Thanks for the info!
Ready to hear "What some guy on the internet thinks of these...." :)
You've come to the right place ;)
I want some VANS with cleats!
Hell yes!
Velostan, sounds like a new bike friendly central asia country

Why is Papú Gomez reviewing shoes
Weird to make video about urban cycling shoes and not mention Chrome.

Why do you say adidas like that? Is there a meme I'm missing?
He is using the german pronunciation
@@epazzaia I didn't realize he lived in Germany
@@matthewtimber4780 He doesn't; it's a German brand, and that's the way it's pronounced. Same way that it's Ver-sá-chay and not Ver-sayz ...
@@phonomat1587 interesting, because in Germany they call Germany "Deuchland" but we just call it Germany
@@matthewtimber4780 That information would be way more interesting if we weren't dealing with a problem of pronunciation rather than translation in this case. You see, it's the same six letters (to be specific, three each of the founder's pre- and surname), just the way you say it apparently differs. Which is not that grave a problem per se, but since both "Adi" and "Dassler" are pronounced on the first syllable, that is the way to go, no matter where you're from.
Bonus tip: it's "Shimah-no", not "Shy-man-oh", in case anyone was wondering. There are countless other examples, of course.
Happy cycling!
$160... come on...
How much would you expect them to be?
@@EverythingsBeenDone A lot less. Saying that after having purchased Velosambas last year.
You pronounce Adidas wrong.
Your obviously American
