    Yo! After I made this vid, we saw some HUGE price changes right now! UltraBoost20 only $88!! and Nike Infinity React is now $120! Link in description to see all my other sneaker sale deals! Have a good Sunday everyone

    Most of my motivation for pursuing sneakers is based off the comfort of the ultraboost. Exactly the content I’m looking for. Good stuff, Hes.

    • @raphaelnahon1340
      @raphaelnahon1340 4 роки тому +10

      bla bla bla it’s not that they fell, it’s that other brands caught up, and made way more comfortable foams that are on actual running shoes, the pinnacle of which being zoomX from Nike.

    • @imMATTure
      @imMATTure 4 роки тому

      bla bla bla As a sneakerhead, idc, still the best tech out there to me, even compared to react. As a hypebeast at times, then yeah they did. With nike, they live off their old models and reiterate that by collaborating with a hot artist or designer. You cant help but like familiarity.

    Im a runner and I love shoes that have great response. Nike pegasus turbo and the nike next% have insane cushion while maintaining great response! and they are also stupid light. adidas UB are noticeably heavier than most nike runners but have more of a cloud like feel, so it doesn’t really enhance your performance if you take running at a fast pace seriously. the UB are great if you just wanna use em as casual walkers tho

    As soon as this virus thing is over with, I am gonna try out the react shoes.
    And hes, thanks for posting all the sales. I just got a pair of UB 20 for 88. Hope it is as good as 19. I read that it has less boost than 19.

  • @jacobwitt9266
    @jacobwitt9266 4 роки тому +2

    I highly recommend you try the Brooks Transcend 6 if you have flat feet. After you break in the DNA Loft, it's dummy soft. Like DUMMY soft. Definitely try it, or the glycerin which is the neutral/high arch version.

    I have a similar flatfoot and weigh about 150lbs I owned a pair of nike reacts for maybe a week the shoe felt amazing the first 2 days after that the shoe already began to get torn up on the bottom and lost that bouncyness the only shoe that hasn't lost its comfort is my beat to the ground ultraboosts but I cannot afford a new pair wish I could find a pair that kept that comfort level. At a more affordable price point especially for a high schooler with no job.

    Hoka Bondi 6 is by far the best Mac cushion but they just dropped a new crazy shoe that I think you would like to try. The midsole is nuts!!! It’s called the tennine. I’d be curious to see a casual review on it. It’s too expensive for me to chance on casual.

    I remember trying on a pair of Pegasus turbos in a store after wearing 350s all day, and they didn't feel that soft in comparison. Maybe it's because they were brand new and not broken in yet idk

    • @jakerobinson868
      @jakerobinson868 4 роки тому

      Idk you gotta remember that 350s are way too soft to run in, the peg turbo is still a performance oriented shoe, so it's not gonna be near as gooey as the 350 because it'd lose all of the good response that it has

    • @techalpha7362

    For Hoka, they created a casual shoe called the Clifton Opening Ceremony, which is based off of the Clifton 3 (last good year for the clifton), but the rocking sensation is part of what makes it a good running shoe for Hoka (Hoka is really a love it or hate it brand, without an in between since they are so different). I also like their Ora Recovery stuff to recover after harder runs, though I default to crocs a lot of the time for recovery days.
    The Altra Timp might be an interesting shoe, with a maximalist sole and a zero drop (meaning the heel is at the same level as the forefoot, rather than being elevated). I also don't think a lot of people will give Altra a chance because of their shape.
    A really good brand for a combinition of cushion and responsiveness for daily training is 361 degrees, who use a carbon plate in their daily trainers. A lot of their US represenatives compare it to Asics, which is a fair comparison. But I find the arches to aggressive, and 361 does not have that issue.
    For a very comfortable foam, I'd recommend the Brooks Glycerin (their max-cushions, neutral shoe). That is a very remarkably soft shoe. With running, and flat feet, maybe you would want a support shoe like the Adrenalin, which has guide rails to correct over pronation and help protect your ankle.
    Skechers HyperBurst is really good, though the MaxRoad is too much stack height for me, and I go with the GoRun Ride 8. Also, it is important for people to remember that Skechers Performance is a different company from Skechers (in the same way Converse is separate from Nike) and has different designers working for them. But even in the running world, people are hesitant towards Skechers (and them going to $100 is not helping them).
    The Nike Pegasus is a favorite among runners, though some people don't like the brand image of Nike. I have not gotten a change to try out react for myself, but I have heard good things about it.
    Ultraboost is unresponsive compared to the other technologies out there, and I don't really like it. Adidas is really fading in the running world.

    So, Im super confused between infinity react and Ultraboost 20/19, I'm heavy and had a back surgery last years and recovering just started working out, so need to minimise the imapact on my back and knees while training? Im looking for something that had better impact absorption rather than bounce back.

    • @ignignokt-6050
      @ignignokt-6050 4 роки тому +1

      What kind of training? Running? If running I think you’re better off with the reacts but it honestly comes down to personal preference. I have both and the boost is a tiny bit softer but I prefer jogging in my epic reacts.

    • @Oguzstyler
      @Oguzstyler 4 роки тому +1

    I found a pair of Gyakusou turbo at a Nike clearance store for $100. One of the best purchases of my life 😭
