Nike didn't imitate Cole Haan. Cole Haan was owned by Nike untilitt sold the brand to Apax 9 years ago. i had the original Cole Haan burgundy wingtips that had Nike Air soles. I know CH was an early player in the minimalist sneaker revolution, but I prefer my sneakers to have the upper stitched to the sole, not just glued. Best value IMO is Thursday Boot Company sneakers. They're the only company I know of that have a line of sneakers with Horween leather, the best leather made in the USA at a sub $150 price tag, costing $129 and factory 2nds at $100. Good vid. Keep it up
I see you love the sneakers. Great. I am sneaker crazy. What I love about your talk is that you are passionate about the sneakers and it shows. It comes out in a natural way as in, you ain't acting by just saying it as it is. The other thing is that, since sneakers have had such a strong influence in the People of Colour's community ( and presumably the sales that goes with it), having one of their own doing a presentation does really give your talk a big boost. You however dwelt too much on the brown/ tan sneaker, had just a sneak preview on the navy and never showed the black at all. The brown/ tan would be my best bet but showing all three would make perfect sense for an overall overview. However, overall am impressed by your nonchalant presentation. With love from Nairobi, Kenya.
Thank you so much for the feedback brother. I’ll definitely consider all that going forward and thank you so much for watching. Hope to have you view more of my videos in the future.
@@ryan_darks you are welcome. I've seen a couple of your other presentations like the one with the brown boots and I feel privileged and honoured to make a comment that would ensure to get all the more visibility that you truly deserve. I shall surely check out more of your videos. I like the coining really branding of your channel to resonate with your surname and emphasizing probably insinuating that you are a man of colour. As i said earlier, that market segment would give you and prospective sponsors of the wares lots of mileage in turnover terms more so on issues sneakers. Bravo!
Thanks Thomas and thank you for watching. Yeah I’d go with an 8.5 for Cole Haan. Also if look on your phone and see if there are any Cole Haan stores around you. I’d also recommend just going in and trying them on in the actual store too. But yes I’d recommend 8.5 for you.
Nothing beat the Ecco Soft 8 Retro Sneaker. Way better quality for a similar price but looks like they have been discontinued. Ryan - if you can find a pair of those, itd change your world
Hey man! Thank you for watching. I’ve actually heard a lot of good things about Ecco but have never tried any of their items yet so I’ll be sure to do that. Thanks for the recommendation man.
After researching several brands, I assume this has to be the best minimal sneaker out there. However, I do not own this mode. Can you write down how many cm in height does that heel gain? 2? 2.5? 3?
Hey man the heel is about 1 inch so about 2.5cm. Let me know if you need anything else! Also be sure to check out the newer Cole Haan videos I just did too. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for that feedback man. Yeah Thursday boots has some good stuff too. I agree with you on that. Thanks so much for watching bro.
Problem is shipping to EU from thursdays is 60$🚬
Thanks... The most important thing is the inside engineering of the shoe, such as arch support. This was not covered.
Thanks.
My favorite brand of shoe for several years.
Yeah they’re a good one, definitely.

Good review, Ryan.
I have 10" foot and I usually wear Nike 8.5 US (42 EU) or 9 US (42.5 EU).
Should I go 8.5 US (41.5 EU) on Cole Haan?
Thanks Thomas and thank you for watching. Yeah I’d go with an 8.5 for Cole Haan. Also if look on your phone and see if there are any Cole Haan stores around you. I’d also recommend just going in and trying them on in the actual store too. But yes I’d recommend 8.5 for you.
Good review. I love Cole Haan
Thank you very much! Yeah they’re a good brand.
Love the education on how to care for the shoes...use of shoe trees are a loss art.
Thank you so much! Yes ma'am, that is so true.

Coach citysole is good too
Ecco is not better than Cole Haan. This is the best quality for the price with the name bare none
Thanks for the review.
No problem man. 👍🏾
I fw these on the low.
High key!
Why on the low?
Watching 👀
Thank you!!
Good review. How have they held up so far?
Thanks man. They’ve held up very well actually so I’ve been impressed with that. Definitely a good shoe to look into.
@@ryan_darks Good to know. Thanks for the insight.
Will suit for wide feet bro ??
Yes sir. They should!

Try Coach too

They’re true to size!

💪🏾💪🏾
Ross has these $50.00 right now
No way! Really?
@@ryan_darks Yup, I'm not joking I saw all sizes
@@timclarke1683 That’s crazy man. I would’ve never guessed that. That’s good that they’re making them more affordable in certain places now.
Is this video about you or the shoes? Almost 3 minutes before we got to see the damn shoe 😠
Thanks for watching. 👍🏾
