I was also surprised by these, and I find them incredibly comfortable, easy to wear all day, and quite a joy to don and doff. I agree that they’re a bit tricky to style, but I’ve watched this channel long enough that they work in my wardrobe
Do you think they are wide feet friendly? Because I've got really wide feet and most shoes aren't actually wide foot friendly😂, also does the comfort level compare to say an Ultraboost?
@@akshpatel3116 so I’m wearing them again, and my guess is they’d be beat to size up 1/2 size for wide feet. They’re very stretchy, and the toe has a rubber cap that extends back about 2 inches (on a size 12) so you should be okay in the length department if you size up slightly for width. The base is stable enough to support a wider foot
This is the first pair of "futuristic" shoes that I've seen that I didn't have an instant negative reaction. I LOVE these, the silver, not so much, but ill probably be getting them anyway. Ill for sure be picking them up and aunt them to my... EXPANSIVE converse collection
Honestly watching this video made these shoes look a lot more appealing. With an outfit and in motion, they dont look nearly as huge and chunky as they did in the pics online
It looks very futuristic and could go well with other techwear/streetwesr look but imho the Converse x ACW Lugged Hi boots is still their best collab yet
I picked up the green pair of these from the ACW website when they released, and I'm really liking them so far. Definitely a comfortable shoe that really makes walking feel fluid and easy. They are a bit heavy, but also feel very durable. I wore these into the office and paired them with a slim pair of black jeans and a grey polo, and the lighter green was definitely eye-catching, but not overpowering which I really liked. This review says everything I was thinking about them and more, and I think they're one of the most interesting shoes to release so far this year. Looking forward to trying them out with non-work fits.
Nice! Glad you like them - the cw you got look so different to these so not surprised they work with very different fits. Maybe I'll have to keep an eye out for them 😅
I've never watched a shoe review video before, and honestly this was really enjoyable and I learned a lot from it. The language, the methodology of your review, all it was very interesting and well done. Thanks Antwon!
You know im diggin this shoe. I would prefer the mineral over the black just bc it gives me that throwback nike yezzy colorway. The piping on the ankle with the green midsole that resembles the glow elements of the og yeezys, it all just comes together really well.
Always like it when people push new designs even if they are more polarising and evoke mixed reactions. Having the same old, comfortable design that doesn't really grab interest because similar things been done before love to see where this Collab goes.
I'd still call this an exclusive! The Nike x Acronym is now officially vindicated. These are perfectly ninja and I want them to be part of the new techwear uniform. If the non colab version becomes common then maybe these will be considered more accessible in style?
Haha for sure! Not seen anyone else post about this cw yet. That's true, I imagine the existance of a similar shape will normalise these ones. We'll have to wait and see I suppose
Amazing video. I love how much effort you put into each one and the amount of information packed into them. This is why you’re the best techwear channel on the net 😎
I have the 1st colorway and to be honest I like those a lot better. The combination of colors and overall choices look better on that one. The 1st colorway design ques are more appealing to me.
This silhouette and shoe are very similar to the 1995 Reebok Graphlite Pro Low design (an amazing shoe in terms of looks and performance). They were very light and were assigned for cross-training. Reebok in 96-97 came out with an updated silhouette but under the Electrolyte Reebok brand were aimed at runners. They were amazing shoes, ideally used for speed work or the running component of a triathlon due to their incredible light weight and 'soft' ride.
I have these, and they're entirely way too tight in the forefoot for me to recommend if you have anything more than medium width feet. I can't feel my toes after a half hour in these because they constrict the blood flow so much.
I recently got this shoe at an unbelievable price, and this is sadly my biggest gripe with them. As a TTS 10.5, an 11 cuts all circulation and it's saddening
Ah, I like the silhouette and the general build, but I can't get away with the lemon curd accents - if this had been an pure monochrome shoe with the yellow replaced by white, I would have been all over it. I'm surprised they are so easy-on, I have a couple sock/shoe kicks in my collection and they get worn less than they should due to them being a pain to get on quickly. If you're looking for easy-on-off kicks though I can't recommend the Nike Fly-Ease enough - I picked up a pair as a curiosity when they got a recent re-release and they are my go-to 'house shoes' for kicking around my place.
Interestingly SR dyed his own pair black and very much advocates for people customising stuff if they want to, so you could definitely take that approach of blacking the shoe out. I'm even tempted to do it myself but the green accents are another nice unique element VS the other black sneakers I own atm. Ah nice, heard good things about the flyease tech so glad it works well. I'm sure in future more sneakers will see flyease versions
Ross' footwear designs are always interesting. Looking into converse's past, they surely going to release this design as a non-collaborative effort too. EDIT: oh you mentioned it in the video haha
Great video as always. Have you ever reviewed the brand Haven. Boutique shop from Canada that has some really great pieces under their own brand. More military maybe than your style but very high quality and always use the best materials from my experience. Pricey but worth it.
Mate, I didn’t realize I NEVER SUBBED AND I’ve been watching you for over 4 years…. ANYWOO, I’M SUBBED and wanted to ask what you think abt prices of ACG Nike Nike Lab pieces now a day and if I should wait or just buy?
Liked the pics a lot. I think the shape is very cool. But the actual look is strange, especially on the upper. More minimalistic shoe with the same shape could be a winner. Appreciate this as a fashion item but will not buy.
hey can you check out Fabric of the Universe brand??? It doesn't seem to have clothing list from aliexpress, it does however have amazon list but just like the website, its from the same brand. I wanna know if its legit or not
I love the design but the mid sole foam texture compounded by the shoddy gluing make it look like a cheap Chinese knockoff instead of the official Chinese made. 😂
lmao yeah the grind foam texture is a love it/hate it type thing for sure. Definitely not my favourite part of the shoe but I can respect the interest in using more recycling-friendly materials
@@ThisIsAntwon I don't mind the recycled material, but they really should've made it matte black instead of glossy. It really highlights all the imperfections.
I actually don't mind the overall aesthetic, I like it, very forward-looking. What I dont like however is the "molten asphalt"-looking texture they put on the side of the sole. Very gross looking.
@@vert2552 that's kind of the point, IMO. Nike's Crater Foam is literally made of scrap foam and rubber. but I can understand why some people don't like it, when it it basically trypophobia fuel
If you're quick on release day I imagine you'll be able to get a pair. I think the official Converse and A-Cold-Wall sites will both have them. You can also sign up for the ACW* mailing list which I think will send out release details nearer the time
@@ThisIsAntwon Lmao well, definitely. I don't like them but, I do appreciate the actually futuristic look and the uniqueness. Keep up the videos, Antwon.
seeing this in the background of a few videos and I was... 'meh', but seeing that detail ❤ wow, I love this shoe. There is just so much that is unique and yet it all really feels like a cohesive shoe. 🤌 now which color 🤔
These are Warframe sneakers and no one can persuade me otherwise
Warframe is life 🤤

@@SincerelyAkshay just the left? 😂 I've held on to buying those anyways the prices on stockx were nuts, but not seem to be going down.
@@akshpatel3116 in my experience they are very narrow, they squeeze my feet. I'm going to order a half size up!
I like this shoe a lot, especially in the black colorway. Samuel Ross is such a unique designer, it’s always interesting to follow his creations.

This is the best ACW sneaker I've ever seen these are super comfortable. I like the silver color way a little more

Solid review I love these. I went for the silver mineral colorway on snkrs and took an L. Fingers crossed for the black ones in May.
It’s may! They dropped today! Did you get a pair!!
The panelling on these is so nice!
A black with gray trim would be nice,but the loudness is what’s it’s about.
Love the spaceish look of these!

Awesome review! Waiting for the original one for a while and then these came out...
As a techwear, converse, acw, and James Cameron's Aliens fan this is the perfect shoe
It'll be great to see a review of the inclusively designed Nike Go FlyEase from your perspective!!

Best review on this shoes. Subscribed😉. Gotta watch your other videos
This one is the best Converse Aeon Active CX Ox
Are these good for running?
On god I have that persona song as my PlayStation background song and I was turning this video off to check if I left it on 😭😂
Love the design! GREAT REVIEW!
They are very tight in the arch area though not wide foot friendly even going up a size
These would look so dope with some raw hem sweatpants or something simple and loose to drape over them
Babe wake up, Antwon posted
I cant stop thinking that these are ultimate tennis shoe while looking at them.
I have a pair of these. Love them!
They look like a Nike Air Max 270/Huarache hybrid.
Yeah I can see that
Been waiting all day for this 😛🙏

Great review, these look insane!
Great video as always. Have you ever reviewed the brand Haven. Boutique shop from Canada that has some really great pieces under their own brand. More military maybe than your style but very high quality and always use the best materials from my experience. Pricey but worth it.
Great Review - am considering these!
I thought that middle crease on top was where the shoe opened up for velcro.
is this running shoe? or daily?
They look yellow on the camera and I like it yellow, you think if I buy it it’s gonna be green? Or will it be yellow or only yellow on camera
Nice one, this pair was a nice surprise
A master at work.
The green mid sole looks like mint ice cream.

Do you need to get size bigger? For better fit?
It's the persona 5 coffee shop music for me lol.
Damn, these are really nice. I would love to wear these shoes

the silver cw is like yeezy 350 v2 desert sage
Shoes like this are what am begging to have paired with Luxury an really weird Chinese brands wears
i didnt like the texture on the sole at the beginning but it grew on me through the video
I want to love these, but the green bit at the front makes me think elf shoe
I think there techwear brand you should take a look at , called mastrum which is come from stone island and cp company founder
Hey Anton, is Converse part of the NIKE group? I mean, the green “asfalt-gum” sole is basically took from the Nike SPACE HIPPIE model.
Nike bought converse in 2003
Can my fat foot size elevens [US] fit into this shoe? They can't fit into normal Converse shoes so I'm curious.
The black part of the midsoles are weird. They look substandard in quality 😂😂
hey can you check out Fabric of the Universe brand??? It doesn't seem to have clothing list from aliexpress, it does however have amazon list but just like the website, its from the same brand. I wanna know if its legit or not
check Le Fantome and CAT Intruder - ive got those in gray scale and theyre more than awesome
Reminds me of the puma fierce
Persona tunes and cold walls. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Saw something similar on concept kicks a while back
I'm a walker, think I will buy those
Wish they had better color ways
it seem a tiny bit similar to reebok sneakers for me
So...link mentioned at 7:40 is in which description?
Ah thanks for reminding me! I've added it now

It's just like crater foam which is very uncomfortable
these are hideous but your reviews are amazing as per. i suspect that 2021 logo is more a result of delayed overseas manufacturing 😅
*cough* Sevenstore *cough*
I could never confirm nor deny such a thing
i like these but wouldnt purchase it for myself - can appreciate the sneaker its just not my style really
techwear sneakers are hard to pull off - personally i think the nike collabs/nike shoes in general suit the style much better
I actually don't mind the overall aesthetic, I like it, very forward-looking.

that shoe looks like someone chewed peanuts and bubblegum and slapped it on the sole.
Rate illvzn fashions brand
Looks like a dog found them and used them as a chewing toy ngl
2022 version of ripped jeans D:
@@ThisIsAntwon Lmao well, definitely. I don't like them but, I do appreciate the actually futuristic look and the uniqueness. Keep up the videos, Antwon.
Hope these sit so bad lmao
I like the design but the material on the side looks like it was eaten by rats and picked up from the trash what was left
Rat-chewed is gonna be my new aesthetic
Ruined by the colorway
Futuristic ? Its the " air max 93 " silhouette and shape. Then with a really ass painted midsole , horrible and over hyped ..
Then stick to your Air Maxes and Jordans. Gonna be more pairs left for those who don't want to be clones any more.
