I love that brain dead skates are about color palettes, rather than traditional color matching. The baby blue laces accents the red/white boot beautifully, and I love the eyelets color.
Love your videos and you fuking SHRED!!! I know making content is a ton of work and I appreciate the time you put into your videos! One tip id give is if you lock a white balance in, the color won’t shift around when you show the skates on your table. Keep up the great work bud!
@@okthisisthelasttimeipromise what camera you got? One thing you can do is put a white piece of paper on the table. Then in your camera settings switch to a manual white balance mode and you can literally take a photo of the paper on the desk and tell the camera this is what white looks like. Then lock that color white balance and be gucci!
I like the marble, if they where a different colour way to match my fav colours I’d happily buy a pair. How ever I think they still look good in this coffee and cream Colour.
What a beautiful piece of art and design all around. And the format of the video and positioning of the camera, that's the way to do unboxing. Great video Ben. Enjoy those skates ✌️
ooooooooo i was close when i said chocolates🤣🤣😂😂im sure you are going to love these, everyone i know that has skated the 909 loves it👍RIP banana boots 🍌🍌🍌
Dang Ben! Nice scoop..!! My only comment about the appearance is that when you went to look at the soul brackets inside the boot with no liner, it seemed like the inside of the shell had the better, more covered looking graphics that seemed more fitting for the outside of the shell..!? Hope you have a fun time skating Them and can’t wait to see how you end up modding them..! 🔵🔵🔵🔵
Literally just ordered the 80mm version. I’ve been wanting to skate since I was a kid and for some reason I’m just now getting around to it damn near 30 years later. Wish me luck
I think they look great. Like embers in a fire. My only critique would be the blue stuff. Clashes in a weird way that irks my color theory brain. Personally would prefer a white to match the wheels or black to match the axels.
Was on the fence if I like these, but your video actually made them look way better than pics I’ve seen. Won’t buy them though, already got my 2022 grey THEMS and I love em, them, THEMS. 😛
Those wheels are different than the stock wheels that people were having problems with. The bad ones were the 56mm ones that came on the sunday brunch, too easy, and danny beer skates and I recall hearing they were made by a different factory. The 58mm 90a wheels are actually really good quality, especially for the price. I've used several sets!
Medium with a premium intuition. Also measure your foot in cm. I'm a 27.5. I can get into a small them shell but it's not awesome. The med shell is a bit big but works well.
Tired of your Sways with gen 2 plates? Was going to comment that the new Sway plates look very similar to THEM plates now, except for the wheel cutouts. Got a pair of '22 Sway Chris Farmer in today. They pair up great ergonomically with 50/50 Balance 2 frames. Installing the wheels wasn't easy, but they're ready for skating first thing tomorrow. 😃
@@uu3903 I’ve had them for the past couple of months. Love them way more than gen 1 but I’ve had those skates and shadows but I wanna try something different
They come without shock absorbers?? That's not just a rip-off, that's actually kind of dangerous ....What if a beginner tries an average stair gap and ends up cracking a heel? Oof ... What were they thinking. Otherwise, they look quite nice.
@@iRollerboot That's very strange. Shock absorbers used to come just as stock and standard as the wheels in your frames, for every brand of skate. My Shima 4s, my Genesys L.E. and my Shift 2s all came with beautiful, thick Razors shock absorbers. As did all of my friends' skates, as far back as Salomon ST8s. I couldn't skate without them. My knees and ankles would be dust and my ability to skate FUBAR.
@@coreyenglish8706 I'm going to keep an eye out for that from now on. Has it always been that way? There've been skaters landing famous gaps without shock absorbers just because there's a slight tilt in their skate, this whole time? Hahahaha .. No ways ..
@@climbtheskyspine5748 they might add one after the fact, but yes. It has always been that way. The m12, 5th element, cult, and sway are also like this.
Why is this controversial u brought that up a few times and tried look it up and can't find anything? People are so funny now a days it's a skate that can't be controversial unless it's like a copy of from another brand or like a hate symbol or slogan but I don't see anything controversial

You best be Comin' to dinner because Them Steaks is hot!!
🔥🥩❤️
The coolest thing about the Thems multi color designs is the pattern is different on every skate.
It’s like your own unique piece of art 🖼

Ok rad! I remember reading about that 👍👍 thank you!!!
Brown is my favorite color on consumer goods. Cars,skates,etc. If I didn't already get a pair of 909s from my brother, I'd be all over these.
Agreed. Brown is underrated
God I want those buckles
I'm glad you finally got you a pair of Them 🔵🔵🔵🔵Skates! You can also adjust the height of the cuff! It has two settings.
Stoked to skate them!!! 👍👍👍
I like the marble, if they where a different colour way to match my fav colours I’d happily buy a pair. How ever I think they still look good in this coffee and cream Colour.
☕️ 🤎
I’m a big 909 fan. I like these a lot. I think the blue really sets them off. Hope you enjoy em.
💛💛💛💛
Make sure to Loctite the cuff bolts! They like to loosen up and go on their own adventures.
Thanks Al!
Iced latte vibes for sure. They look good, but if the hardware matched the eyelets they really would pop
Oh no!! I can’t unsee that!! Lol. Maybe some nail polish will fix that
It looks like the sake set that I have. Love it!
Nice! 😆
I love the first ones and I absolutely love these as well
🟤🟤🟤🟤
these do look like iced latte imo, delicious skates with delicious performance
Yes thank you Jeremy, the dead shocks are amazing
Absolutely beautiful skate lol. I wud purchase but I jus pre orded the domestic punk 2 boot from roces.
Hope you like them!!
I don't care what anyone says those look rad af
💛💛💛💛

Thanks so much Ricardo 🤝
My Them 909 brother!
🤝🤘🏼
Yea love them an the first them
Get a thin cheap yoga Mat and stick a layer between the soul plate and the boot
Does this help with shock. Or just for sound
@@christopherlees3684 both it will give a very pleasing thud sound and it will help shock transfer
Hmmmmmmm. Ok. Headed to Walmart
They look sick, I can’t wait to see what you think of the 2022 909. I love mine.
🤎🤎🤎
they look great! looking forward to watch you skating these!
🤎🤎🤎
Bro I remeber your stream talking about getting them
🤎🤎🤎🤎
💯:)
ooooooooo i was close when i said chocolates🤣🤣😂😂im sure you are going to love these, everyone i know that has skated the 909 loves it👍RIP banana boots 🍌🍌🍌
They fit so well. Hopefully headed to skate them here in a few minutes!
Great bag opening tool!

Interesting! I’ll have to go back and look, I didn’t notice that, thanks!
Man I neeeeed these. They’re so sick!
💛💛
@@iRollerboot lookin forward to your thoughts on the 909’s.
Literally just ordered the 80mm version. I’ve been wanting to skate since I was a kid and for some reason I’m just now getting around to it damn near 30 years later. Wish me luck
Love em !!! Huge them Skates fan coming from Someone who just got back to blading !! 😅 yeah … these are great !
I love them them skates ..... 🤣 really cool design ... can't wait for the review to see if its worth getting them
I've said it in streams and I'll say it again. Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Ice Cream.
Agreed. 🍦
I think they look great. Like embers in a fire.
My only critique would be the blue stuff. Clashes in a weird way that irks my color theory brain. Personally would prefer a white to match the wheels or black to match the axels.
I personally wish they had some blue wheels to match on the aggressives too. :/
I didn't like the THEM boot until the Brain Dead style. But I do not fancy the 80mm freeskate. The Wizard frame is art and I love it.
🤎🤎🤎
I didn't even want these but just ordered some in XS after seeing this video enough times 😅 They're the perfect shell for tiny girl feet.
Sick!!!! Let me know how you like them 🙏
I like em 👍 just wish thems fit me better.
👍👍
Man WS was using all over these and the epics in that last vid
I know right!! Lmao.

I’m loving them so far 🔥
I love them 🤘❤🔥
They remind me of potatoes and gravy.... now I'm hungry
🤎🤎
Personally not too keen. But they do look good with the new baby blue 50/50 frames
So tempted to buy those just for the setup look itself. Lol
It would look amazing
How does the sizing work, do they fit true to size? I'm a 10.5 and not sure if I'm medium or large. Amazing looking skates🔥
Medium with a premium intuition. Also measure your foot in cm. I'm a 27.5. I can get into a small them shell but it's not awesome. The med shell is a bit big but works well.
@@thatmountainblades thanks 👍 can get with the intuition for €450 so think I'm good to go with medium
definitely looks like a latte before mixing
☕️🤎🤎
they totally look like when you pour milk onto cocoa powder and you just start to stir it so the powder starts to mix into the milk
Agreed 💯
Love the skates they make me want a coffee
☕️ 😋
Get the cream frames!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mine were supposed to arrive today but for some reason the tracking now says Monday and I'm mad at you for that now
🤲🏼 my condolences. I hope you get them sooner than you think!
So fucking sick
🤘🏼🤘🏼
it's not ugly but i don't really like this colorway but the boot shape looks good.
🤎🤎
What will he use to open the next package? My bet is using a wheel...
😆😆😆
I Love the blue ones but then ones look like a swirl pudding pop dont dig it
🤎🤎
They look yummy, i bet they taste good like nougat chocolate :D
Can confirm, very tasty 😆
Honestly wasn’t much of a fan of this skate until your review. Now I’m between m12s or 909s. 🤔
💛💛

Did they fix the cuff bolt issues?
They stayed tight for me 🤷🏻♂️
Loctite on the cuff bolts. Don’t learn the hard way.
💯💯🤝
Kinda looks like a Snickers when it goes bad
Fuckin fire is what they be

You make a good point but my cults never came with anything either, seems like most powerslide stuff does though.

@@climbtheskyspine5748 those are all flat boots. Raised heel boots never come with shock absorbers.

Controversial may be the wrong word. Most people tend to love or hate these, whatever word describes that lol
I like them, butt the first 🧠 dead skates look way better thn these.
