This video was recorded prior to Kobe's passing. It was supposed to go live on the day that it happened, but we couldn't bring ourselves to upload anything that particular day. We're all still at a loss for words right now, but we hope we can keep moving forward with our Mamba Faces loud and proud. Thank you for joining us, watching, liking and supporting what we do. Thank you.
jason lee yes sir, I grabbed the Elliots and had them sitting in the box until Jacques Slade made a video..I was like holy 💩..The midsole is ridiculous!!
I also heard that now there is a design team within Nike called D/MS/X so I think they put that name on shoes that they worked on 🤷🏼♂️ hope that’s right
I agree about the AF1 Ultra's being by far the best Air Force 1's! I still own a pair of the low with the leather instead of Flyknit :). Also, definitely wearing my number 8 Kobe jersey today. RIP Kobe, Gigi and everyone involved in the accident.
9:35 The D/MS/X might be I's instead of forward slashes. Nike was almost going to be called Dimension Six as Phil Knight was about to file a patent. The first employee, Jeff Johnson, came up with Nike from a dream that he had. Also, there is a 2019 shoe model that's called the D/MS/X, but if you google, "Dim Six Nike," it'll pop up. There was also that Nike Cortez pack that featured a Dimension Six and a Red Sun type of logo in 2019.
DIMSIX is a play on one of the original options for re-naming blue ribbon sports. (Dimension six) which was Phil knight’s favorite option. Nike is now using it as kind of an ACG, or NikeLab sub-brand to bring new models and new takes on classics.
Bro, I appreciate the knowledge you dropped on this shoe. As a person who really likes Nike sneakers, I appreciate understanding the tech behind it. And the fly knit is the most comfortable AF1 I’ve ever worn.
I just got them a couple weeks ago...man they are my favorite AF1.... I'm super flat footed, absolutely no arch, and they are sooo comfortable! I'm going to get a couple more just because of the comfort they provide.
People on Stock X skyrocketed the price of Kobe shoes. Was trying to get Kobe AD NXT FF or the Grinch Mamba Rages but dang they expensive now. RIP Kobe. I hope they keep making his shoes so that people everywhere are able to have a part of him on the court still.
11:01 Air Force 1 Flyknit... edit: Air Force 1 React I'd imagine the difficulty keeping up with ALL these shoes man. Hay, of all the uploads I've watched this is the 1st oops I catch. These are dope though. I might need a pair, thanks!
There were the Air Force 1, CMFT and they had a drop in lunar insert. I had the all red pair with clear bottoms, the drop in was visible from the midsole. CMFT lux was the model
The Lunar Forces was great too. All lunarlon sole was the bomb. But agreed that the flyknit ultra is nr 1 on the comfy list. I put the Lunar forces in at 2 place and the React at 3. Its a outsole rubber made to a insole? Feels good but not soo squishy and light as I wanted then to be.
Wearing Kobes each day this week in honor of the Mamba & Gianna. Today I have on the Kobe 9 low “Unleashed”... same Kobe 9 low you pulled out today on your vid. Love what you guys do. I know you did a favorite Kobe shoes in the past, but would love to see something like that again but maybe link each one to a moment in Kobe history? IDK... I just miss him already.
D/MS/X stands for Dimension six and was the other option the company had when changing their name (other one was Nike). There’s also this model called the Signal D/MS/X, of which I have a pair, on the box was a tiny text saying that the design of the shoe referred to the future of Nike. They are also extremely comfortable
I been watching your videos for like 2 or 3 years and you have inspired me to like the shoes that I like, I only have 2 pairs of shoes, black af1 and jordan 3 chlorophyll, which sucks cause I love shoes but i can't afford them. Keep up the good work🙏💯
Fly knit air forces where dope. I bought two pairs but made the mistake of not buying my a half size bigger and stood true to size. They felt tight by the end of days use so ended up gifting them to my brother.
My John Elliot AF1 have a THICC Lunarlon drop-in midsole with Zoom pods. I believe that there have been a handful of other "premium" AF1 models with a similar construction.
Chris if you can do a video montage of all of Kobes kicks and your favorite memories of him that would be such a cool video to see you do. We are all devastated and hurt, and though I could never afford his kicks growing up. Watching your performance reviews on youtube made them feel like I did own them and that made it special. #MambaForever
Remember I had the canvas air Force 1's / uptown's in blue i had the green ones and the black ones they were pretty comfortable back in da day before these sneakerheads came into play you just one out and bought a few pairs to be fresh match your shirt with you kicks and hat that's how we did in New York City
They knock it out the park with this one. React makes huge difference. Only thing to consider if you are wide footed like I am instead of going up half size just stick with your true size. The toe box is huge.
There was a pair of nikes I bought from Nordstrom Rack a while back that had drop-in lunarlon insoles and an eva "cupsole". The also had an all mesh upper. I can't remember their name but they were some sort of budget/casual shoe.
Yo man. Big fan from India. Not many shoes available here but love your videos and how in depth analysis you do on them. Honestly all the "shoe facts" I've learnt are almost all from you. I've watched your videos for quite sometime now. Thank you for the shoeledge 🙂
They did have the NikeLab version with nice leather upper and drop in midsole with full length zoom, but the shoe was still pretty stiff, and AF1 Flyknit Ultra is still by far the most underrated version.
I'm surprised to gear you're not an AFs guy. I could definitely see you wearing them on days where you chose to wear jeans, I think they would suit you very well.
The John Elliot AF1 is the most ridiculously comfortable AF1 they've ever made. They put all new tech inside it. It's double thick Lunar with heel air.
the ultra force were the most comfortable but they fit a whole size off. i'm talking about the non flynet version which looked like a regular air force.
Straight to the point: DIMSIX means Dimension Six, according to the Nike book A Shoe Dog from Phil Knight, it was the fist name of the shoe name suggested by Phil Knighy himself, he said we could call it as Dimension Six......
The only af1 I have ever bought are the wheats low top and ther so comfortable I’ve had mine for more than 14 months and I use them all the time everyday especially ok the treadmill they feel more comfortable than my running shoes
The air force 1 gets comfortable when you play basketball in it. It takes a hella long time to break in, but once you do. they’re pretty comfortable. Note: I played outside on concrete
Also also also dmsx is nikes “dimension six” it’s just nikes like for pushing boundaries. I’m not sure if it has an actual direct meaning behind the words

R.i.p Kobe
Rip mamba. Hurts man
I still can't read it without thinking it's just a big joke, so sad
Rip MAMBA x GIGI.
😔
They had a lunar and zoom drop in midsole with the Af1 John Elliot collaboration
jason lee and for the equality white Air Force 1’s someone stole my pair but my god they were the comfiest thing ever
I was going to mention these
the lunar were it!!!! I;m trying to find a blk pair again ..... i still have a green pair
jason lee yes sir, I grabbed the Elliots and had them sitting in the box until Jacques Slade made a video..I was like holy 💩..The midsole is ridiculous!!
The label on the side says "DimSix" wich is short for Deminsion 6...Before the company was called Nike they were going to name it that 😉
The more you know!
So when nike was Blue ribbon it couldve been dim 6
I also heard that now there is a design team within Nike called D/MS/X so I think they put that name on shoes that they worked on 🤷🏼♂️ hope that’s right
I agree about the AF1 Ultra's being by far the best Air Force 1's!
I still own a pair of the low with the leather instead of Flyknit :).
Also, definitely wearing my number 8 Kobe jersey today.
RIP Kobe, Gigi and everyone involved in the accident.
Yeahhh the ultraforce 1s! I had a black leather pair
low are fine problem is that hard sole that don't had much give.... make you can not do long walk.....
@@marvelfanno1 underrated shoe honestly!

There was also that Nike Cortez pack that featured a Dimension Six and a Red Sun type of logo in 2019.
I thought Bill Bowerman came up with Nike, because she was the Goddess of Victory and he was very philosophical as the Oregon track coach?
but why would they put that on the react forces

Rest In Peace Kobe
Those AF1s are really pleasing to the eye, love the design changes and the tech updates seem really good too
This is what they should be doing for the Jordan 1 react
I just got them a couple weeks ago...man they are my favorite AF1.... I'm super flat footed, absolutely no arch, and they are sooo comfortable! I'm going to get a couple more just because of the comfort they provide.
This review kinda make me laugh n forget about the tragedy happened for awhile. Thx for the laughter. =)
People on Stock X skyrocketed the price of Kobe shoes. Was trying to get Kobe AD NXT FF or the Grinch Mamba Rages but dang they expensive now. RIP Kobe. I hope they keep making his shoes so that people everywhere are able to have a part of him on the court still.
i got the blacks and the white and i cant get enough of em, need more colours or a cheeky collab
“Give me a classic Black pair so I can do dirt!”...😠
11:01 Air Force 1 Flyknit...
edit: Air Force 1 React
I'd imagine the difficulty keeping up with ALL these shoes man. Hay, of all the uploads I've watched this is the 1st oops I catch. These are dope though. I might need a pair, thanks!
There were the Air Force 1, CMFT and they had a drop in lunar insert. I had the all red pair with clear bottoms, the drop in was visible from the midsole. CMFT lux was the model
Excellent review as always. Appreciate the lightheartedness after such a rough day yesterday.
Owned a pair of lunar force 1 and still have a pair of af1 ultra mid. Those were super comfy.
wanted those new ultra boosts but with this cold weather I am going to enjoy the added leather and that comfyness. Thanks for the professional review.
The Lunar Forces was great too. All lunarlon sole was the bomb. But agreed that the flyknit ultra is nr 1 on the comfy list. I put the Lunar forces in at 2 place and the React at 3. Its a outsole rubber made to a insole? Feels good but not soo squishy and light as I wanted then to be.
Respect ✊ my dude only shoe dude on RUclips that didn’t make a kobe vid for money.
Wearing Kobes each day this week in honor of the Mamba & Gianna. Today I have on the Kobe 9 low “Unleashed”... same Kobe 9 low you pulled out today on your vid.
Love what you guys do.
I know you did a favorite Kobe shoes in the past, but would love to see something like that again but maybe link each one to a moment in Kobe history? IDK... I just miss him already.

Dude... you were totally thinking about “1000 Ways to Die!” Also, great video as always.
William Deloi 6:50 lol remember that show
I read a long time ago that Sheed’s AF1s had Zoom Air insoles, which explains how he was able to play in them without wrecking his knees.
I been watching your videos for like 2 or 3 years and you have inspired me to like the shoes that I like, I only have 2 pairs of shoes, black af1 and jordan 3 chlorophyll, which sucks cause I love shoes but i can't afford them. Keep up the good work🙏💯
I liked those Jordan 3s, should have got them.
Those 3’s are clean tbh I got my baby brother those for 100$
Also the AF1 SL that dropped during all star weekend a couple years ago had drop in insoles.
Fly knit air forces where dope. I bought two pairs but made the mistake of not buying my a half size bigger and stood true to size. They felt tight by the end of days use so ended up gifting them to my brother.
The John Elliot af1s have a lunarlon w/ a zoom unit under the heel.
Yes Sir...I agree.....the "FLYKNIT" versions were most comfortable.....i wish they had more styles of that version....
Air Force 1 cmft lux low ostrich had cup sole with lunarlon and zoom pod in heel. Very comfortable have both red and black.
My John Elliot AF1 have a THICC Lunarlon drop-in midsole with Zoom pods. I believe that there have been a handful of other "premium" AF1 models with a similar construction.
I bought it yesterday, I love it because it is my first Air Force 1
I was dead looking into buying a pair of AF1 and was hoping for an updated revision of the AF1 since it's outdated now. I got my answers thx
The Nikelab Air Force 1s low and mids had drop-in midsoles too 👍
You should make a Kobe video being that he has contributed to the sneaker community. You’ve always spoke highly of him in the past
Chris if you can do a video montage of all of Kobes kicks and your favorite memories of him that would be such a cool video to see you do. We are all devastated and hurt, and though I could never afford his kicks growing up.

They knock it out the park with this one. React makes huge difference. Only thing to consider if you are wide footed like I am instead of going up half size just stick with your true size. The toe box is huge.
I wish they would make an AF1 with react that looks indistinguishable from a regular pair of AF1s
There was a pair of nikes I bought from Nordstrom Rack a while back that had drop-in lunarlon insoles and an eva "cupsole". The also had an all mesh upper. I can't remember their name but they were some sort of budget/casual shoe.
Yo man. Big fan from India. Not many shoes available here but love your videos and how in depth analysis you do on them. Honestly all the "shoe facts" I've learnt are almost all from you. I've watched your videos for quite sometime now. Thank you for the shoeledge 🙂
i dont know why, but the oversized nike swoosh looks kind of cartoonish and i really like it. i dont know if i can get them, but i really want to!!
*cries in John Elliot AF1s*
i want to get some but 150 is kinda steep for air force 1s since u can get the react ones for $100 - $120
Best shoe video's on RUclips, hand down. Keep em' coming,my dude
Yeaa I need to check these. Regular AF1 killed my feet but the lunarlon made them comfy af so I know these are mad comfy
YESSS!!! the AF1 ULTRA!!!!! i have the multicolor versions with black midsoles.
I think Nike ‘D/MS/X’ or ‘DimSix’ shoes are about challenging design norms? I think that’s what the series is about
The most comfortable Air Force 1 that I've worn so far is the Air Force 1 Duckboots 2018. The Lunarlon is great on them.
They did have the NikeLab version with nice leather upper and drop in midsole with full length zoom, but the shoe was still pretty stiff, and AF1 Flyknit Ultra is still by far the most underrated version.
John Elliott's Air Force 1 has a full drop in lunarlon midsole with a small heel zoom unit.
this guy convinced me to get the Jordan 312s
Oof 🤦♂️
@weartesters it stands for Dimension Six, which was one of the original names being tossed around before they landed on Nike.
there were lunar drop-ins in converse shoes few years ago
The Chuck 2s had deep in lunar! So comfortable!
The Son of Forces had a drop in Lunar Sole that I put in everything now
I'm surprised to gear you're not an AFs guy. I could definitely see you wearing them on days where you chose to wear jeans, I think they would suit you very well.
Love what you do man you motivate me
All the sexual innuendo edits 🤣
Lmao
I have a black ostrich looking af1 cmft with a drop in lunarlon insole/midsole from like 5 years ago
Slick with ‘That’s what she said” references 😆
i would rock them. need to find a pair.
Yo man there's in stock alredy on nike app
Man I love you guys! Your interaction on camera always makes me laugh haha
Literally how i feel about the flyknit air max 1’s literally one or my fav and most comfortable shoes i own
D/MS/X refers to "DimSix" which stands for Dimension Six, which Nike went under that name for a period of time 🙏🏻
I would also add the Presto Ultra Flyknits to that list!
Hoping Nike is going to release an AF1 React Flyknit. I like my AF1 Flyknit 2.0 for the lightweight.
The most comfortable pair I still own is the Nike Lunar Force 1 LTR University Red/Challenge Red-Black from 2013
There has been a AF1 in white with such an insole and Zoom before, I forgot their name.
I think before these the most or the most comfortable air force one is the John Elliot colab it does high inside sole.
The John Elliot AF1 is the most ridiculously comfortable AF1 they've ever made. They put all new tech inside it. It's double thick Lunar with heel air.
My fav and comfortable air forces are prolly either the John Elliott’s or the cactus plant friends and family
the ultra force were the most comfortable but they fit a whole size off. i'm talking about the non flynet version which looked like a regular air force.
They are very comfortable i copped the black ones....NMDs are still my top for most comfortable kicks ever though lol
Rasheed's AF1 had a different cushioning than retails so it's not as hard or stiff. I think there were extra air units in it.
I think the last sheed af1 high in both knicks colorway have drop in mid sole. I think it was lunarlone, but cannot remember
Chris I can't even describe how devasted I'm by Kobe passing away. It's fine that the video didn't come at time it was supposed.
RIPMAMBA
Theres a collab with John Elliot and Nike that use a thick lunarlon insole thats maaadddd comfy
Straight to the point: DIMSIX means Dimension Six, according to the Nike book A Shoe Dog from Phil Knight, it was the fist name of the shoe name suggested by Phil Knighy himself, he said we could call it as Dimension Six......
I haven't baught a pair in over 15 years. But this may persuade me back to a new pair.
The most comfortable Air Force ones are the John Elliot AF1s. Amazing quality I highly suggest it to anyone.
Oh wow you missed out on the AF1 QS Hi and Lo with the thick lunar laun insoles that felt like you were walking on pillows.
I read that the d/ms/x stands for dimension 6.. the original name Phil Knight was going to name Nike.
these r 🔥 the check looks incredible
You gotta make a video comparison between the John Elliott Air Force
... dang, I always figured they were called Air Jordans since Jordan had so much air time...
D/MS/X stand for DIMENSION SIX - It was the other name they wanted to use for the company before they finally chose Nike.
They look so good..
The only af1 I have ever bought are the wheats low top and ther so comfortable I’ve had mine for more than 14 months and I use them all the time everyday especially ok the treadmill they feel more comfortable than my running shoes
I think DMSX means dimension six. The name Phil Knight wanted to give to Nike before concluding on the name Nike
The air force 1 gets comfortable when you play basketball in it. It takes a hella long time to break in, but once you do. they’re pretty comfortable. Note: I played outside on concrete
I have a pair of converse winterized Jawns that have a drop in lunarlon insole it's like 2.5-3.5 in thick
I have these and they’re now beaten asf but I can safely say they’re the most comfortable creps I’ve owned
Also also also dmsx is nikes “dimension six” it’s just nikes like for pushing boundaries. I’m not sure if it has an actual direct meaning behind the words
woah i pressed on this vid and i said 2 secs ago
R.I.P Kobe 🙏🙏🙏
Nightwing giving a clickbaity title and answering it at the beginning of the video. My Hero ❤️
Future of product of nike: a shoe (performance/fashion) with interchangeable midsoles. coming soon.
Thanks I requested a review on this sneaker. And also I was wondering how they compare to the John Elliott af1 with a drop in midsole.
The comfort plus AF1s from like 15 or 16 had drop in mid soles
