Awesome video, definitely have Caulin on more, you guys work fantastic together. I’d love to see in 2023 ASICS and Onitsuka tigers reviewed. The Gel Lyte 3 and the Mexico 66’s have a rich history worth exploring.
@@LOLokBuddy i would agree but the version of the Corsair thats now available is completely different to the version that was originally made and is nowhere near as popular as the 66.
Love this deep dive episode. You definitely need another person to interact with if you are going to do more of these types of videos. I would watch a deep dive episode again. Maybe do them quarterly?
I didn't think I would, but I watched the whole thing. You actually seem very comfortable in this type of setting. Like in the Jim Green interview it seemed as if you'd been interviewing CEOs for years.
Bought a pair of the sulfur ones last week on resale. Loved the look and now totally love the feel. Ordered another pair while I can still get hold of them. Shame there wont be any more.
I love all of the history and info you guys provide. If I could get the GPS at retail, I probably would. Though I already have quite a few shoes in my rotation.
I admit they are nice and look good but this sneakerhead and reseller culture ruines them. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to dress a nice looking shoe. In the end it becomes a speculation tool and if not put on a feet it's wasted (for now they cost more or less 120 $ but i don't like seeing them resold on stockx and not in the official store, it's 10-20 dollars wasted on a guy that bought it just to resell it just after the sold out).
@@MysteryASMR777 the white versions can kind of pull off the gps look. All of the other colors are too obvious they aren’t a flat style shoe. Thanks for the heads up!
just got a pair of the brown ones after watching your videos about these shoes. they are perfect! i generally kick my shoes off as soon as i return to my house, but these i tend to keep on for a while cuz they are that comfortable
Great content guys!! Love this deep dive!!!! Unfortunately I got duped into a fake pair that actually look amazingly like real ones!! It happens though! Lesson learned, guess desperation got me!! Lol appreciate the work!! BTW, your honesty and fearless attitude to tell these manufacturers their product sucks is why we love your content!!! Do not now to the pressure!!
Shoes are not made by robots but by underpaid workers who live in very poor conditions. Most of them risk their lives to produce these hyped sneakers. I would appreciate if you would do a video about this.
I was Kind of not sure about these but by now ive fallen in love with them. I still have some Problems with them Like this weird Part of textile on the ankle area which just looks like it has been forgotten to cut off and wrinkles up while wearing
Ordered a brown pair today. Paid € 120,- (incl. shipping). I hope they release the grey version again in the future. € 400,- for these is too much really…
I find all this sneaker info interesting but I’ve never been a sneaker wearer. i came to Rose Anvil for boot videos and watch all the sneaker videos. I’ll never understand the obsession with sneakers. I enjoy learning more about the tech or lack there of and the hype that these marketing departments use. Thanks Westin & Caulin for a fun video
I would love to see a comparison between this and the ACG Lowcate, which has zero hype around it, is easily obtained in various colors, is a similar price point and seems to be a similar construction quality as the GPS.
Very astute observation/question. I have both and over the last twelve months had often noted the similarities. For mexico the main difference is that the Lowcate is incredibly roomy in the forefoot. I would say the Lowcate is the perfect shoe for wide footers/people that like room to move their toes who want a utilitarian shoe.
@@bollocks2usernames I bought the adidas hyper turf and found them to be rigid and uncomfortable. I was thinking about buying the acg lowcate but read reviews theyr also heavy and rigid. Would you say the GPS are less rigid? And less heavy or about the same?
Funnily enough, I happen to have them too, although I confess I’ve only worn them briefly. You’re right: they are fairly rigid and the sole doesn’t have much give. This is a feature of most walking shoes as they need to take the punishment and the Lowcate is very similar in that respect. The GPS is more flexible in the upper, but the (mid) sole is quite hard. I have to say the shoe I most gravitate to when I’m walking long distances is the ASICS Trabuco Max, I have put many miles on them and though they’re really a trail running shoe they are the perfect balance of a flexible, breathable upper and a midsole which is the perfect balance of absorb / rigid. They are so good that I bought a spare pair for when I’ve destroyed my first pair. Back to the GPS briefly, I found I had severe heel slippage with them as the collar on the GPS is almost non existent, it’s wafer thin in parts and doesn’t bulge to hold the food in place, so in my humble opinion they’re not well suited to clocking up many miles. That said, they’re probably the most stylish / have the most sneakerhead cache. Hope that helps!
I'd like to see more content with more attainable shoes. Things like Vans Sk8 v BMX or like New Balance 574 core v legacy. Things you don't have to buy from some d bag reseller on Stock X.
I've got some question for you. Why are shoe toeboxes shaped the way they are? Why aren't they not shaped more like the natural shape of your foot? Barefoot shoes are shaping shoes like the natural shape of the foot but is there a reason why shoes weren't made in that shape historically? Did our ancestors know something that we don't know or have forgotten? Did the figure something out through trial and error that informed them as to what shape of a shoe was best? Anyway, love the chanel. I watch all of your shows. I haven't purchased any of your boots yet, emphasis on yet, mostly because I'm trying to go more barefoot this year. I have really enjoyed your reviews of Lems products and I now have two pairs of Lems shoes. I'd love to see you design something barefooty. Thank you.
Dyneema is so solid, totaled my Harley at 100 with some Dyneema pants on saved my body a bit. MYard shoes are sweet but too pricey now. General purpose shoes are very solid and cool.
In regard to sizing - I got the size 12 in the white color way. They’re are a tiny bit roomy, it comfortable - about 1/2” space between my toes and the end of the shoe. In your opinion if I got the sulfur in 11.5, do you think the length will still be okay?
Famous last words - These will be available in mass. Now that the Nike x TS relationship is over, it puts the GPS shoes in the same category as the Mars yard in one respect. There are limited number of them. Majority of these are available in the US, hardly any (apart from the field brown colour) are available in EU.
I love this video and this shoe! That is a n excellent point about nike being serious about resoling these. They should sell nike branded replacement materials.
I just got my sulfur gps a few days ago. And I can’t them off; I find excuses to wear them. They actually don’t handle that bad in the snow. I will be getting more. Wish I could find the studio pair for a decent price
First, if a shoe company wants to find people who will overpay for a sneaker, good for them. I like my Dad shoes from New Balance. I'm old, my feet hurt from a lifetime of working on my feet, and comfort is king. Each foot prefers one brand over another, same for work boots. Fashion? Not an issue for me. Were the GPS mass produced and easy to find I feel it would sell like hot cakes.
I'm confused how these offer anything new to the market. They may be a new concept for Nike but "functional," "practical" sneakers have been produced for decades by outdoor brands. These frequently have suede uppers (high quality 1.6-1.8mm in some cases) and are marketed for easier hiking and for walking to the start of climbs. They are usually stiffer and have firmer cushioning than conventional sneakers and deeper lugs on the outsole. Brands like Merrell and Danner do them in the USA and Scarpa are probably the European brand with the the biggest range but many other outdoor brands also produce them. These are also great general purpose holiday sneakers if your holiday is not sedentary and involves travelling and exploring.
I just bought a pair of the brown ones below retail cause I was sold on them by Rose Anvil, and now I'm seeing Tom is basically getting cancelled for some yikesy stuff. I like the sneaker, and am just gonna have to deal cause it's not worth reselling to me, and I'll just have to separate the art from the artist, but damn.
@26:24..."Trying to cash in, on hype", can be summed up, in one word..."greed". Greed shoe companies...making crap shoes...and laughing at the public all the way to the bank. Greed...is not good people. It is evil.
Kanye tried to get Yeezys for everyone as well and its taken over 5 years to even get the price down on the resell market. I understand Tom is telling the truth but this is literally the same thing Kanye said
So i guess this guys whole "flooding the market to fight the resellers" didn't work for Jack considering 11 months later, I can't get my hands on a pair whatsoever. Thanks Tom
My son got me into reselling sneakers as a fun past time. I've purchased and sold several different hyped sneakers, but the Tom Sachs GPS OG pair I'm having a hard time parting with. I honestly think it's a pair I will keep for myself. It's a sneaker for anyone and I feel as an older woman I could pull them off much better than a pair of dunks.
@@hawkevick9184 - good question. I like the looks of the dunks, but the quality and comfort are just not there. I've tried the Adidas Ultraboosts and the comfort is good, but the knit material squishes my toes. My favorite shoes are my Birkenstocks! I know, ugly. So, so comfortable. On the sneaker front, Adidas seem to be the most comfortable. When you get older it tends to be all about comfort!
I don’t get the boring bit, I’ve wanted trainers like this for ages, the minute I saw them I went a hunting. The scalpers/resellers need kneecapping though.
I don’t know why this other guy is going to bat for Tom Sachs so hard. I’ve been trying to get this shoe for years and haven’t been able to. I refuse to buy it 2nd hand for 3-4x the price. That’s BS no matter how you cut it.
I don't think the waffle story is true. Actually the outsole is more like a waffle mold, not a waffle. So it could be inspired by the mold, but you don't get that sole by pouring gum to a waffle mold.
It’s another shoe with the claim that everyone can get it, but in reality, you have to get it for resale. I do believe that is false advertising. People shouldn’t have to go to resell for fucking show. Sneaker culture is cancer at this point.
I’m not sure about this but from where I came from, a lot of backlash/upset comments about this shoes having a pig materials(religion restrictions), I look in pretty much in every article, there’s no evidence that this shoe have a pig material. if anyone can confirm or enlighten me on this would be great!

Stop complaining
Thats what nike wants. Reselling culture makes you want to buy the hype shoes so if nike restocks you will go to lengths copping it from nike stores.
Apart from the white one you can still find these at retail. Just google them
I didn’t hear the “I love you” from the first watch. That’s so sweet and
I LOVE YOU!
just got a pair of the brown ones after watching your videos about these shoes. they are perfect! i generally kick my shoes off as soon as i return to my house, but these i tend to keep on for a while cuz they are that comfortable
I scored the brown pair on snkrs. I can't wait to try them.
Dyneema is used for ropes and webbings that are super strong also.
And bow strings
This is straight dope!🔥More sneakers with Caulin please!

How do you get a new sole? Does Nike sell the black layer on its own with the pattern? Or would a shoemaker just do some other threaded pattern sole?
