Man I never thought I’d see him make this video. I got this shoe on the first release and took it with me on my trip to Europe and I was blown away by how well this shoe was crafted. This shoe is definitely worth picking up if you ever have the chance.
I wanted these shoes badly, and failed to get them each time they were released, but after watching this I went ahead and got them second hand. Luckily this video did not skyrocket their market value. The arch support is unlike other Nikes. Thanks for this!
Love the Sulphur colorway and I’m so glad I got them for only slightly above retail. Happy to hear such an in depth and technical review about these and also really glad you like them! Hopefully these will be way more comfy with the contours as AM1s make my arch and feet ache after just a few hours of wear. 😅
It's wild, I was just thinking, "wow, I'm surprised Weston hasn't made a video on the GPS", and lo and behold, not even a day later, here it is! Great review as always, can't wait to receive mine!
Your channel is so refreshing and brutally honest. Huge fan since your AF1 & J1 cutting video days. NB990v5 is one of my faves. NB 992 someday? Comfortable together with the Made in UK 577. More power to the channel!
Basically all sneakers are resoleable. While I appreciate big companies pushing repairability as a feature, there is nothing stopping people from having their cobbler put a fresh sole on their converse,vans,yeezys, keds, dunks, rick owens,etc. What would actually be cool is if they started providing original soles for use in repair. A lot of sneakerheads especially want to keep their shoes looking as original as possible, and providing the original materials could go a long way to encouraging resoling.
@@jakej722 Yeah absolutely! But there are plenty of sneakers that people pay way more for, whether its retail or resale, and I think it would be a more effective sustainability initiative to offer original materials for resoling than it is to make a one-off that isn't any more resolable than your average sneaker. Just my $0.02 though.
@@ragetobe as a cobbler who does this every day, there is no reason a good cobbler couldn't do it. Many don't like to work with non-GYW stuff, but its not that hard.
Dude, you have come a long way in your videos. You are the freaking shoe KING now. You do such a great job at these shoe/boot reviews. I just love watching your content. Really quality stuff. And you seem like a really good person too. Keep the quality content coming my dude. I love it 😻
Hi I just found your channel and wanted to let you know that I really enjoy all the videos! Especially the historical ones really interest me as a historian
These are great. It's probably one of my favorite releases this year by nike. I was bummed out the first colorway release. However, the second colorway, I was able to walk into a kohls, try them on, and buy it. Great shoe to just beat up.
The video is missing the audio segment about sponsor pulling out. On RUclips mobile app it works fine but the sponsor info is missing. On TV app the sponsor info is present at the start of the video but audio is out of sync with the video.
You should do a breakdown on the Nike ACG Lowcates! See how they compare. They are also marketed as a sort of sneaker boot. ACG stands for All Condition Gear and they are much easier to get a hold of than the GPs
I put a quality insole replacement in this shoe. I got one with more arch support, but there are plenty that don't have that. It raised my food off the bed just a bit more which improved the fit around the ankle. and resolved some of the potential issues mentioned in the video
What's up 🌹.... the timberland super boot aka 40 below recently released could you do a review of these they are total icons and hard to get ....I got my pair
I’m so glad you did a vid on these. I these these get my pick of sneaker of the year. Easily the best new model this year. It was awesome to see the contour in the midsole. I always felt like I sank down a bit in the heel and didn’t know why lol
The value priced Waffle Debut seems to be nearly identical to this. I just bought a pair for $59. It's funny that Weston says they're more boot-like because i really can't stand most sneakers and wear boots instead. I put these on and immediately loved the feel and yes, they do feel like Blundstone.
Just checked with the online sites that I frequent and most resellers have already boosted the price up to over 400 dollars. General purpose has become an irony of its own.
I’ve tried to wear Nike but usually they look cool but don’t function well. Brooks Beast is the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. Makes all calf pain disappear.
Many folks work in factories on concrete and I think this could be the shoe for them as many don't like boots. But they would probably need to be leather ( Resoling is great but will material uppers last long enough to make resoling realistic.? . I think leather would. ) and probably a protective toe cap. Yes.. I like the arch support too and with Zero heel... even better. The wedge design especially on runners squish my toes... a feature I wish makers would drop.
Hi mate! I'm fan since the Dr Marten's video days! I've just got the KAVAT Töre 2.0 EP boots and I really like them.They feel comfortable and strong.The company also have a total makeover repair service that costs 80euro shipping costs included! Can you cut them? I really want to see what's inside Keep up the good work!
You should check out Andrew Turriff - he's from the boot biz and is in the process of designing a "functional outdoor shoe" using high quality leathers, stitchdown construction and vibram soles! Similar vibes to this but absolutely no corners cut.
Could you cut open a SBD power lifting belt it’s a belt that’s highly loved for it’s leather quality in the weight lifting community and I feel like a lot of people would love to see the quality and what the inside of the belt may look like and what the quality is really like
Nike does not have to make money on colabs. They Treat colabs as loss leaders to build hype. Also there will be more color ways available in 2023, so the secondary prices will probably not go up.
have a look at 5 ten freerider. I just wish they had a big toe box, otherwise I really like them. And, the sole is sewn on, so they will last till the sole wears out.
Can you please do the goretex Jordan 5s or goretex new balance or goretex hokas something goretex/sneaker to see if that’s a load of bs and if it’s a better alternative to a boot pleaseeeeee
i bought brown one and been tested these for 3 month, I don't like how heavy those sole are compare to its very lightweight fabric, and once you break that in it felt even more slippery on heel compare to a regular boots or sneakers. Just buy a pair of boots if you want a "boot-ish" experiences.
I have two of these GPS's and they are fantastic save for the fact that in even remotely wet conditions on a hard surface, the shoe has NO GRIP whatsoever.
Funny, I'm wearing my pair today. Honestly, it's the Nike version of Rod Laver tennis shoes, but "resole-able". It's a shoe that's comfy, is easy to get looking crusty, and meant to look pretty good when it's crusty - just like Rod Lavers.
That was a thorough review. 👍 I like a lot of things about these shoes, but I don't like the blue tag and the black outsole. The outsole should be 100% beige, and the tag should just be the same as the most dominant shoe colour - in my opinion. 👟👌
As a product designer I don’t see this as a good solution for a shoe that is meant to last and be functional. No waterproof material, no metal laceyards for durability and cheap materials which wear easily or soles that delaminate. I think it’s more marketing and name dropping, if you want a high quality, functional and long lasting sneaker there are way better options.
Well somebody please tell me this. They came out with the Nike Jordan 1 zooms comfort 2 they are amazingly comfortable and they are made from a suede and it says on the website premium suede they look like premium but soon as you clean them it changes the entire shoe. It never returns. I've ordered three pair. I've used different shoe cleaners, different suede cleaners and it always destroys the shoe soon as water touches them they do not look the same again
They extremely expensive. Like for rich people only. Reminded me of Puma GV/California casual shoes and those are on the opposite end, like super affordable.
The original Mars Yards had single stitches securing the straps down. This was replaced with a box stitch in the 2.0 to fix this problem, and now it's found its way into the GPS!
Please review foamposites 🙏 On another note I see sneakers as An expression of style. Not necessarily as a tool. Now my timberland pros Are tools but they too are An expression of style
Thank god in my country theres a trift store but its all shoes you could find timbs , air jordans, vans, converses good stuff if you're lucky for around $23 a pair
I got emailed 3 hours after the first release for my W for these. Needless to say I had left for work by then. Anyway I would LOVE if you could do a review on the sneakersnstuff x Jordan 1 Mid. I swear the leather on these is insane, best I've seen, and they're cheap.
Don’t know if you heard but Tom Sachs fell into hella controversy for being a crazy old artist. Dude was like running around naked throwing shit at his workers, cool shoes and great vid just if ya wanted to know
Hi Rose Anvil, u must rewiew the new collab with Atmos x crocs, It look so wild I've wanted to see the material used, would be a great gift for crocs fan
Great and enjoyable video. I fail to see the purpose of a bottom that can be resoled while the upper itself is not really that durable. Expensive for what it is, too.
Do the Nike ACG Lowcate next! I have a pair and love it so far. It seems like an alternative to the general purpose shoe and I like it for cold weather and commuting in the city. There's a "trailframe" in it, and I wonder how it you will like it compared to the GPS.

The upper needs to be durable enough to still have a decent amount of usable life left when the original sole wears out for a resole to be practical.
Not all cobblers can do this, in the UK I think you would struggle to find even one and if you did it would be stupidly expensive and not worth it.
