Shoot let’s go! Just know they are like your average vulcanized shoe when it comes to impact. It’s not the worst or the best so I like to say it can take a bit more than what you can handle on your own but not a significant amount more.
I just bought the chocolate Nb 480 highs , now that I've finally buckled and tried out new balance skate shoes its hard not to want to try anything else , Im still skating my 808s currently and these things are tough no major tears yet on the suede after like 3-4 weeks
New Balance is a tough company to want to leave. I feel like they have a shoe for every type of skater and they make them extremely well now. Idk what they’ve been doing but they have the formula down!
If we are comparing it to the Cambridge the Cambridge is and remains stiffer. These can level with some vans but I’d say the upper is looser than vans. The fixing tape and sole is about the same on stiffness though but I’d say your usuals are better based since I’ve skated a lot of Vans and the Cambridges as well and know they are a bit more sturdy.
They fit with a little room. I don’t recommend going a half size up at all. If anything I’d stay true to your size or even try a half size down but they definitely are roomy. I got my true size and they worked for me. I liked the way they gripped, they have a great insole, and it’s overall a decent shoe but I do feel like the Chapter Mid could use a little more structural support around the ankles. Outside of that they’re solid and kinda remind me of a crossover between Vans and Converse with the look of Hours is yours.
Love the question because tbh no insane difference other than Lakai does a really good sole to their vulcanized shoes which tend to take the most impact out of majority of vulcanized shoes. Now as far as the aesthetics, the Warsaws lean into the whole thing with Jamie saying they aren’t skate shoes by looking more premium and more like you wanna dress like the great Dylan Rieder or at least pull a Austyn Gillette. They skate well, flick great, and are a dope shoe for sure though!
@ me personally I just want reissues I have no interest in these I’m 32 so I probably count in the older group I’d rather skate the emerica og-1 or accel tanks and comfy
Exactly just more trash Jamie Thomas trying to push.. overpriced and look like simple/ sheep/ Vox/ many more .Jamie just money hungry asking for those outrageous prices

Is the heel padded or cups your heel? I do really mess with the look of the shoe. Think your kickflips were sick in em
Not exactly they are moderately loose around the heel. Comfortable but not something I’d say cups anywhere on the foot.
🔥 ass review!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks bro! I gotta catch up yours hopefully I can get started tomorrow!
Is outsole and foxing tape stiffer? The older I get the more I like “a cleat like” feel
The Lakai Cambridge and vans are my usual

Lol, let me take my girl out to eat...in skate shoes...😂
Hey if they don’t get too messed up it could work 👀🤣
My cousin lives there. Do you know Brandon Kossow?
I may have seen him but I can’t put a face to the name 🥲
How do these fit? Do they fit big? Should you go up a half size? Do they fit tight? Whats your impressions or thoughts? Thanks brotha'

So what’s the difference between that shoe and the thousand others that look exactly the same and are half the cost
Cough Lakai/ Emerica cough

@ so he’s trying to appeal to the fashion runway kids ?
@ probably more for the older skaters. Warsaws demographic doesn’t look like it’s trying to Appeal to the majority of skateboarding

I’m loving mine!!! I’m 33 and am ready to try them down some stairs
Shoot get it! You got the Chapter mid too or something else 👀
good ass review.
Thanks fam!
I’m def gonna try the slip on
Yessir make sure it’s your right size I don’t recommend going up a half size at all
Gifted Hater saying this shoe is bad while also saying the Last Resort vm001 high is good is crazy lol.
I can say the last resort hi is more sturdy so I gotta give him that much but I wouldn’t say this shoe is bad at all.
Gifted is right..these shoes are garbage as hell..
@@jessiemartinez3056 they don’t hold their form as much as I expected them to two weeks down the line. They definitely need some work.
Siqqness
not a skate shoe according to Jamie
Ahhhh I knew they looked too good to be skated heavily 😭
Yes they are he said on the nine club they are for skating
