Great review! Gotta say I 100% agree with you about the sole being slippery. I train on a wooden floor in a dance studio and it is quite unbearable doing anything standing up because I always feel like I am about to slip.
I've had them for 1,5-2 weeks now and I love them! Never got the chance to try the Archives, so happy that 4Freestyle made them, now it's not any problem getting a pair of freestyle shoes. Been using HyperevnomX and Adidas x15 Court until now. The Explore shoes was a little bit big compared to other shoes, but they are defenitely the best shoes I've ever had anyway :D Great upper, and so light weight!! Anyway, dope video Philip, looking forward to more videos.
I agree! They are way better than the ones you mentioned, but let's just hope that 4Freestyle gets more support from us freestylers so that they can develop new models with better material.
got mine about a week ago and personally I think they are almost flawless for lowers. of course being white they do get dirty incredibly easy. I find clipper stuff and eclipse slightly harder tho
Awesome review man! I have them for a week now, i've done about 5 sessions with them, they feel really good! The only thing that "bothers" me is the not so grippy sole! But i mostly train outdoors anyway so its alright :) Hopefully they will last for atleast 3-4 months!
Just in time hahaha. The explore shoes have arrived today, so I think that it was a good timing haha. Anyway, I really love watching reviews and I enjoyed watching this video! Let's see if me and these babies gonna be good friends haha
Yeaah, you're correct. I really enjoyed them in my first session. But I didn't enjoyed at all because I have hip pain. But as you said, they're perfect for basic tricks 👍
amazing review man! nice to see you were presenting the negative aspects as well, not just saying theyre good since tobias is your mate and a fello fser! wish i could buy these meself, but they seem to only sell them up to size UK 9 and im a 10 or 11, which is a bit shite haha
Great video!! I'm thinking to get one. Does this shoes's upper toes are easily to get broken same as the puma archive lite?(I spend lot of times all lowers..)
I love these shoes. neither being slippery or the stripes were a problem to me. The biggest issue for me is size. 4freestyle 43 is bigger than Adidas 44. Personally the touch is the best I ever had.
Relly good review!😊 I have one question: Which ball is your favorite to freestyle with the explore shoes? So which ball reach with the 4freestyle shoes in your opinion the best grip for lowers? Thanks man!👊
Thanks! Well, actually I don't know. Only tried the League 1 Beau Jeu type ball. It was good for lowers but absolutely horrible for everything else. But I would guess the original Beau Jeu or Cafusa.
I compared the sole on the 4freestyle & archive lite on my 4freestyle the sole seems to be more smashed down, but the archive lite sole is still sturdy & isn't smash down as much. Do you also see that on the shoes? I love everything on the shoes but sole
+Philip Warren Gertsson I haven't trained indoor yet but I have trained on turf & it is sort of slippery. Imo if the sole was stronger & as you said has more grip. Id think the shoes would be perfect. I'm going to dm 4freestyle & Tobias on insta about this. Also great video man! Please do some more review & a lot of vlogs or training sessions!! 😊
Becs gets straight to the point. I have seen the models and prototype soles for the new model and holy shit they look great. He has taken my points into account (even before I made the review) so there will be a huge upgrade!
+Tobias Becs can't wait for the new model! Also I'm glad you saw my comment about the sole durability. Definitely keep up the great work Tobias 4Freestyle has improved & helped freestylers over the years. Maybe there will be different shoe color way someday 😉!
Okey man, watched the whole video again as im now home from sesh! Really good review and got the answer to the durability question lool.. I still want to see how long the upper will last in lucas etc use! And yeah, probably wont buy em untill next summer couse my indoor spot ground isnt that grippy anyways ://// #srypdub
Good call. The slippery surface of wooden floors really messes the soles grip up, so it'd be better to use them outdoors. Hopefully, they will bring the gripbricks into the next model.
Which shoes doe you prefer? Archive lites or explore? Right now i only have archive lites (wich are not damaged yet) and i would like to know if it is worth it to buy explores
How would you say the soles are for tricks that are centered around the soles? Is it a little difficult seeing as they're slightly slippery or are the decent for it? Great review though, I'm considering getting them for Christmas seeing as though my Puma Elsus were just as good as the £4 ones I use now haha
I think they were great. Was a bit difficult to get used to doing soles and stuff since the sole is different, but after one sesh, you're set. The slippery part only applies to your traction when doing lowers, blocks and all that. The Elsus are too heavy imo. If you wanna try something new, go with these.
Philip Warren Gertsson Alright, thanks! Yeah, I agree. The Elsus are decent but the space between the outside and the inside was much too thick so control was limited. The shoes I currently wear are really cheap and pretty much intended for 1 month holidays since that's about how long they last, but they're canvas so they actually aren't bad, it's almost like being bare footed except you get more control while juggling and your feet aren't battered raw when you're done haha.
They tend to be big? Because I'm a fucking bigfoot and I use a 46 size with my archieve lites, but the explore max size is 45 so I don't know what to do...
Nah they run true to size. So usually you would need 47 ( for regular shoes ) so we'd have to wait for the Explores to come in 47 or you just have to clip the toe off :p
FIRST! Lol, no. This is getting old now. So, first review I have ever made. Will spend more time making videos now so go subscribe!
Man i cant stop watching the combo at the end 🔥
great to see a proper informative review on these shoes that isn't extremely biased just because its made by a freestyler. Will 100% try them soon
also that being said, Tobias has done a fucking sick job with these
Thanks Gav! I think it's important to be critical on the points that may be an issue for some. I just stated mine.
Great review mate! Shoes are in a similar condition at the moment as well XD Spot on about the touch though, basics are a breeze
Fannn
JoshSandersFS thanks mate! The touch is gorgeous! Better sole and no cage, and I'll buy all the 43s!
+Philip Warren Gertsson
Colombia :) espanish? Subtitulos! Plis
No, english!:)
+Philip Warren Gertsson PWG! :( casi no entiendo! Y no soy el único....
Great review! Gotta say I 100% agree with you about the sole being slippery. I train on a wooden floor in a dance studio and it is quite unbearable doing anything standing up because I always feel like I am about to slip.
Yup, you got it

Philip snakker flytende norsk haha. Han er halvt norsk og oppvokst i Norge.
a review could not be done much better! great job, really honest, loved it
got mine about a week ago and personally I think they are almost flawless for lowers. of course being white they do get dirty incredibly easy. I find clipper stuff and eclipse slightly harder tho
Quality review, good to see both sides to it, the good and less good
Reviews needs to be impartial. If not, they don't serve a purpose.
Philip Warren Gertsson yeah exactly, see a lot of reviews which only show the good side. Nice one
PWG back at it again with the white explores... lol great review! Finally someone reviewed them!!
Haha, I never had them before tho.
Galen kvalitet på denna! Fortsätt med reviews och sånt, riktigt nice.
Tack Jojjemajster! Pallar inte fler reviews asså. Jobbig å redigera hahaha
Mm, men allt content uppskattas högt haha
Awesome review man! I have them for a week now, i've done about 5 sessions with them, they feel really good! The only thing that "bothers" me is the not so grippy sole! But i mostly train outdoors anyway so its alright :) Hopefully they will last for atleast 3-4 months!
I think they can last 3 months if you cut your toe nails on a regular basis and don't walk with them too much when you're not freestyling.
Sick review bro, production of it was really nice ! Loved the bonus combo too ;)
Gregor Russell Thanks a lot mate! Haha that combo came as a bit of a surprise to be honest haha
Im so excited to test it 😮❤..awesome review legend
PWG.. your videos are always the best.
i see Micheal jakson too in this video lol
Just in time hahaha. The explore shoes have arrived today, so I think that it was a good timing haha. Anyway, I really love watching reviews and I enjoyed watching this video! Let's see if me and these babies gonna be good friends haha
I am sure you will enjoy them :D
Yeaah, you're correct. I really enjoyed them in my first session. But I didn't enjoyed at all because I have hip pain. But as you said, they're perfect for basic tricks 👍
Amazing!!!! You are the best freestyler ever!!!!!! My favorite battle of yours is when you went against Tobias and smashed him in RBSF 2016!!!
Great review PWG!
Really enjoyed it! Do you prefer them over archive lites?
Depends on if you freestyle mostly indoor or outdoor. I do indoor mostly, so for me, no. But if you do outdoor, go nuts!
great review PWG however would you suggest going true to size or a size bigger or smaller when buying the shoes for regular feet size people?
I would go true to size! I did, but since my feet are so wide, they didn't really fit well.
Philip Warren Gertsson thanks! Appreciate the advice!
Great review man, sounds like they are good 4freestyle. I might have to get some!
Yep, you should def try em out to form your own opinion!
amazing review man! nice to see you were presenting the negative aspects as well, not just saying theyre good since tobias is your mate and a fello fser! wish i could buy these meself, but they seem to only sell them up to size UK 9 and im a 10 or 11, which is a bit shite haha
Yeah thanks man. Gotta keep it real. Becs knew my opinions on this before I even made this review but I know the next version is gonna be insane!
Have you tried the adidas x 15.1 ct? Just wondering how they compare
good old pwg bloopers 😂
haven't trained indoors with mine yet.. but I Fucking love them too!
on the link are those the shoes that u had because they looked blue on the website plz answer i would really like to know
They only come in one colour.
Philip Warren Gertsson thank u very much
Great video!! I'm thinking to get one. Does this shoes's upper toes are easily to get broken same as the puma archive lite?(I spend lot of times all lowers..)
I think the upper material is the same. So it would be just like Archive with the broken toe. But it's good to be supporting a freestyle brand!
Nice review man. Would you still buy them over the archive lites if you needed new shoes? Despite the lack of grip?
As I already have 4 pairs of Archive on hold, I don't have to buy either, for a while.
I love these shoes. neither being slippery or the stripes were a problem to me. The biggest issue for me is size. 4freestyle 43 is bigger than Adidas 44. Personally the touch is the best I ever had.
But have you trained indoor with them?
Yes , but not on the same type of gym floor you used i think. I think those floors seem the slippery ones with these shoes.
I'm a size 9(US) will it be true to size? I really want to buy it! Don't want a shoe being to long or to tight🙁😁
Yes, I think they run true to size. Unless you have wide feet.
Cristian Ramos looks like nobody wants to answer that question, I am in the same boat. I will be buying my size and go from there.
Relly good review!😊
I have one question: Which ball is your favorite to freestyle with the explore shoes? So which ball reach with the 4freestyle shoes in your opinion the best grip for lowers?

Agreed! Also the grip bricks are missing on the 4F

Sykt bra review, veldig detaljert. Behagelig video med fin filming også. Takk for innsikten :)
Takker Rui! Brukte lang tid på den dritten haha

If you train indoors, stick with archive. If you train outdoors, try the Explores and see for yourself which ones you like better.
Philip Warren Gertsson most of all times i train outside so i will buy them sometime soon. Thanks for the advice broo!!❤️
Great review!
Thanks!

Have you ever tried any onitsuka tigers for freestyling?
Yes I have, but the sole is too thick imo.
+Philip Warren Gertsson Ok. I think Mexico 66 from onitsuka tiger could be ok for freestyle because those have a really thin sole.
But the toe box is a bit rounded with suede. Not my type tbh.
Do your feet get a lot of air when freestyling in the shoes?
Doesn't breathe as much as Archive, but much more breathing than all other fs shoes, eg gazelles or elasticos
vendrás a mexico
Nice stuff mistagreve!
How long will they last if a pair of archives last 2 months for me before there are holes on the upper?
Ian Ng I did mention that I wouldn't know.
Hey, which shoes would you pick, gazelles or these and why?
Jørgen Espolin Johnson these. because gazelles are shit
Can we buy these shoes or we still must pre order them ??
I think they are in stock. But I guess they haven't updated the site yet.
Ok thanks a lot 😊
So do you think i have to buy this shoes or the puma archive lite?
If you haven't tried any of them, go with the Explore, because it's run by a freestyler.
They tend to be big? Because I'm a fucking bigfoot and I use a 46 size with my archieve lites, but the explore max size is 45 so I don't know what to do...
Nah they run true to size. So usually you would need 47 ( for regular shoes ) so we'd have to wait for the Explores to come in 47 or you just have to clip the toe off :p
how long did it take to arrive from when you initially placed your order?
martinfs they gave them to me
i can't coment about yhe shoes because doesn't exist my size :'(
Reliable review!
Thanks Kefo!
I want one😘😘😘
These shoes only come in white?
Yes. Just as I said in the video.
Philip Warren Gertsson I have to wait till black or any other colour comeout 😂 White gets dirty fast
Ruben Shrestha I believe the point is to get them dirty to 'write your freestyle story' or something, they mention on the website.
Or you just get a pair of shoes you like and fuck the colour.
😂😂
Wow 2 weeks of use and it is so different now
Yep, white shoes do get dirty quickly ;/
¿los tenis son buenos para competir en escenarios?
No hablas espanol muchaco
im sorry jajj They work shoes on stage?
Depends on the stage mate
Is the sizing the same as on the pumas???
If you mean Archive Lite then no, I would order half a size smaller.
Ebubekir Tas there is only full sizes
Why they are not in 37 size.... :'( 4Freestyle hates me!, Tobias hates me! :'V
Yoshi Rodriguez hshaha
Can I get them in India?
Gurpal Singh Gill I think so yes. Check out their website
What's the website I mean name of website?
Gurpal Singh Gill there's a link in the description
Unfortunately it is not available in India.
It does ship to India.
Not in my size .... fuck
