I liked the Travis air trainer 1s. There was some interesting things done like having the backwards swoosh on the inner side and the brown colour looks great with autumn fits. But the thing that caught my eye was the the font text having this 80s Alien vibe. A clean pair that goes against the typical hype beast mentality.
You know the deal. I personally recently ordered my Beige/Brown Suede Air Trainers 1 Shima Shima Collabs. I will try and keep them Crispy by wearing them periodically on Dry Days. I don't like following the herd with Dunks, Pandas, etc., so these Shima Shima Trainers will definitely Pop!
Mega happy with my Forums. Got about 12 pairs. Great shoes, always fits well and proper comfy. Couldn't careless about opions on them but do agree, the colabs have been a tad ropey. I do like the Home Alones though! That's one of the better ones! Plus they were 2021 😉 But, thanks to the sales got myself some AJ 2's Balvin colab which is the only pair of any Jordans I've been interested in this year aside from the Lost and Founds.
100% I love dunks but only being able to get them from over priced second hand sellers or raffles is fucking annoying. Being able to go to any website and buy any pair of Forums straight up is a massive win. Easy to buy, affordable, great materials, and plenty of stock. Adidas answered for the people, not the ridiculous after market hype.
The Forum High x Prada was a great collab imho. Yes it was expensive. But the Prada nylon + leather combo looked great on the sneaker and made the shoe more high fashion than any regular Forum model. And that is what makes a good collab. Elevating a basketball sneaker to fashion, just like Virgil did to so many Nike models.
I agree with you but what I didn’t agree with Eliot is that forum is a flopped. It isn’t it as bad bunny last forum sold out at END. Usually on End they have a few in size after weeks but not for the last forum release.
The Jordan 2 has got to be the biggest flop. Had Hella potential, especially with what Virgil did but the overwhelming collabs truly kept killing an already dead silhouette.
the problem of the jordan 2 is that they branded it they laid pictures of the shoe with the laces done entirely on the tongue hiding the air jordan and ruining the shoe
They shoulda just dropped the elephant prints and infrareds . I think with baggy coming back into style people will learn how to wear them better. These shoes are tuff with just straight leg nike sweats 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly he’s just into hype I’m starting to dislike him more and more it’s only about resell if a shoe doesn’t resell it’s a flop 😂😂😂that’s their mentality
Those travis air trainer 1s are fire imo. Made me bring out my Draft Day Air trainer 1s. Ill have to grab a pair didnt realize how affordable those are.
They are Dope. I ordered the Shima Shima Air Trainers a week or so ago and wished I saw this video 1st. I would have bought the Travis Scott's Air Trainers. I'm happy with my shima Shima purchase though.
although the 2s didnt meet expectations in the market they definitely got more popular than they once were, i didnt care about 2s at all before but now owning the recent chicago colorway 2s definitely grew on me
I was late to the party but the Forums are really nice ok so they dead on resale but as a clean well made day to day pair can't fault them. The Bad Bunny pairs mwah * chefs kiss.
I like the Nike Air Trainers 1. Just ordered the Nike Air Trainer 1 & Shima Shima Collabs for $75. I don't care what anybody says, they look dope and are comfortable from what I can remember back in the early 90s. I don't like to follow the herd with Dunks, Pandas, etc, so I'll stand out with my beautiful kicks.
I really love the Forum but you are right. Adidas released entirely too many pairs all at once. They have a ton of really quality great pairs but some absolutely terrible ones as well.
I like the classic nike cortez, and its very easy to style as well, but they refuse to sell or release that original ‘forrest gump’ shoe that was so popular.
Some colorways on the Forum aren't what's up. Since I'm an 80's baby, I'm familiar with them. I recently purchased the patent leather red /white high top. I'm waiting for the correct weather to break those out.
I watched the video and am still waiting for thr DJ Khaled 5’s. There was so much hype for those and they sat. Then people came out with hilarious fake slogans like “We The Bricks” 😂
I don't agree with the forums, I actually got got me a pair a couple of weeks ago and I love them and more importantly AVAILABLE but I do agree that they made way too many collabs that made no sense
The real problem I have with the Jordan 2 is that it's way too color way dependent. Most of the retros models like 1, 4, and 11 look good in 90% of color ways but Jordan 2s only look good in like 30%
@@HEAVYCHEVY409 this is why I laugh when these shoe and clothing brands talk about environment sustainability, blah blah.. Quit releasing colorways nobody wants and then they dont have to worry about off loading their waste to Africa. I heard some of these brands just shred them up and then ship the waste overseas.
I've been looking to buy some Cortez for ages, I was seriously considering buying some of the collabs but the colourways or designs were so ass. If only they'd release a regular, non-collab colourway in my country
no Eli I hate to disagree with you on the 4ds bc have you had the new 4d forwards 2’s bc they really have improved it from the 4d future crafts on speaking from someone that has bought both the newer 4d fwd is phenomenal! imo
I feel sad about Air Trainer flopping. Its such a fantastic shoe - not that expensive, good looking and with great history. I really liked the TS collab, especially the brown cw, even bought a pair as a gift for my brother and he also really liked it. I just cant understand why people dislike it that much, is it just because its not a hyped sneaker?
I bought them because they looked just like travis’ face 🤣 but I ended up liking them because of comfort and gives a more serious vibe compared to all the other shoes I wear
I have a pair of Union x Nike Cortez’s and they are great. Awesome colorway and great materials. I feel like people just don’t show love to the Nike Cortezs anymore. I also have the Be True Nike Cortez which isn’t too bad either. Another sneaker that I have in my collection is the Air Trainer 1 in the Photon Dust colorway. They are a fire pair and go with almost every single outfit. People need to be more creative in the sneaker models they have on their feet, instead of wearing a basic pair of Jordan 1s or Nike Dunks that everyone has.
i think they were trying to be too diverse with their models for any dunks or jordans and the ones that weren't hyped never had any hope. i never heard of the air trainer 1 before and might check them out. i have wide feet so any i should look out for?
I feel the Air Trainer 1 is a pretty wide shoe. Maybe a little less wide then the Air Force 1. I don’t think you’ll have any problems if you decide to pick up a pair
@@elliotpage_ Dude... mid year I was saying the dunk high 1985 had shoe of the year potential. Funny only I felt that. Lol!!! I feel it was a slept on release.
Just buy what you like, trends come and go and if its a good collab it will always catch eyes regardless if its under retail or not. Good shoes to pick up right now is the travis scott trainers and j2 union collab for 300 bucks or less you can get a pair of union jordans and a travis scott shoes that’s always a steal.
I really like the sacai Cortez. I hope Nike brings classic GR Cortez back bc they’re probably one of the most iconic shoes ever and go with everything. Worn them few times and the ankle doesn’t appear to be an issue for me might just be me tho. I personally just love the sacai Cortez and don’t think I’ve ever seen a shoe like it
Those Nike Dunk High 85's were horrendous! Glad I was able to flip my pair asap. Those Sacai's were so promising and once I tried them on also I was disappointed.
i’m still super bummed the ispa line tanked to this day
2 роки тому
I have the "cameltoe"/toe-split ISPA shoe, and it is actually one of my favorite shoes. They must be the lightest ones i have, they breathe, greath material and a perfect summershoe. I have some few chill 350's and other "sock" shoes, but the ISPA is definetly my favorite one. I think they have some nice estetics as well, but its a bit out there... I agree to this range Elliot. I love the forum, but mid's have shittier quality than the highs, and the lows usually are really un-inspiring. Lets hope some cool shit to drop in 2023!
I liked the ISPA line when they were doing the 720's and the 'envelope' shoe that was like a bag you folded over your foot. But they went too far into being weird just for the sake of being weird.
Don’t give up on iSPA! The Links were super dumb but the Flows were dope! Hopefully they keep doing more stuff like the Flow and the React not the thing coming up…
nike air trainer look good...and if i had known about them i would definately buy them..i are from asia and the only source of new update comes from the youtubers about new shoes...and thanks for introuducing abt shoes tht were unknown..
another popularity contest "hype" list...not being aware the difference between the 4D & 4DFwd tells me neither has been worn for more than enuff time to take insta pics_I have @ 40-pair of Ultra Boost(I sold the 20 pair of Yeezy's I had)& the 4D Fwd comes very close to the comfort_So while I'm just falling in to the algorithm trap_for ppl interested in the 4D & 4D Fwd...as someone that has several pair_I highly recommend
I got the stussy Penny 2 and it's painfully narrow. Nike makes the worst sneakers. When I throw on my new balance 574 after wearing any nikes it's like putting a cloud on my feet after something super harsh
I tried to own a pair of Dunk '85's, but they made them even more narrow than regular dunks. I gave up when a size and a half up didn't fit, which sucks because I liked the look and presentation of them, they came in a sick box! I just want Nike to drop normal Cortez's again, I'm getting real tired of staring at my brother's 2016 "Forrest Gump" pair he left at my house that I can't wear because they're a full size too small.
I own 2 pairs of these flops 😂 - Dunk ‘85 Acid Wash orange/blue and they fit me TTS. Materials are ok, nothing special but a warm and solid shoe. - Cortez Union Sesame, instead, are dope. Perfect with shorts or trousers, cw interesting, not so comfy but I thought cork sole was even worse. These pair is not narrow as the Forrest Gump Sacai…. In that pair of shoe it’s true that you risk your ankle every step 😂
Bad Bunny forums are so fire. They're alot wider almost like an SB Dunk compared to a regular Dunk. I wish Adidas released the silhouette as an Adidas SB design.
@@abcdetheridge yup but they are cool and lot more comfortable for me and damn I love the chalk white Forum84 adv. it’s feels really chalky white when you touch them.
Almost the entire shoe releases of year 22 except a few was flops in my opinion & even If it made it to the market however.. If the sale is poor.. It's a flop.
I bought the brown trainer ts and liked them allot at first but after 1 month i heavily disklike them they dint really go with anything now i just use them as gym shoes
Virgil, Union and A Ma Maniere killed it on the J2. The other collabs (respectfully) not so much. But here's the thing. The shoe flopped because of the releases and colorways, not necessarily because of the silhouette itself. Let's imagine a world with J2 collabs with: Off White A Ma Maniere Union Travis Scott Fragment and some clean colorways like the Chicago color blocking but with royal/unc/celtics/ravens and then we'd be talking sell outs!
I’m sorry Eliot I have to disagree with you about forums. Bad bunny sold out at END. Usually they will be left overs for bad bunny on END but not for this last forum release. People are still looking for the blue threads and the grey orbit. And bad bunny are one of the true and greatest collaboration of all time as is just not taking a silhouette and just putting Colors and a nice logo. Bad bunny really got involved with the design aspect and it made the silhouette cooler. And what’s with 4DFWD have you even tried the ultra4DFWD or the 4DFWD2. It sold out in some regions. People are running with it and they even use these sneaker everyday as it’s so comfortable. I bought the ultra4DFWD in sail and no regrets at all. I was so impressed of the Comfort and it makes me wanna run as long as I can. I’m a skater and a runner myself. No other brand has made running so enjoyable with its technology except for Adidas. Forum ADV is one of the best sneakers to skate on. This coming from a guy who wore dunks and aj1 since young.
It’s crazy how original silhouettes get treated like 💩. The Cortez is Nikes first track shoe and I think one of their oldest silhouettes. The Air Trainers is Nikes first cross trainer. I guess to hypebeast and resellers these shoes are flops. But honestly, the 2s, Cortez, Air Trainers are a huge part of Nikes History.
It would have been cool if they did it where it came apart and then you can interlock choose of the same style just different colors that would have been cool but going for the easy to Recycle thing LOL
The Jordan 2 is the grand daddy flop. Time is the reason but Nike is more of the reason. Everyone was still celebrating the Jordan 1 release & Nike kept the shelves stocked up. It sold over & over restocks straight through the Jordan 2. People were stuck on the Jordan 1 & forgot about 2 instantly.
Haha i finally found a good or rather perfect function for wearing the 4K Brickz - it's when I play the Drumset. It's an actual Thing I Do and this is a "secret Pedal Weapon" and the first proper alternative to socks or these stupid boxer boots ah in Case of my 4Ks they are squeeking pink and lilac (SNS Collab) and almost not wearable with like everything. So Drums though. Peace Y'all from Allemagne

Ong man I copped one of the brown ones and I love them
They do look out of this world.....not tryna compare them to the yeezy's but the 450s and the air trainers are out of this world...
Like landing on Mars
im glad the hyped died due to it being Travis Scott. Nice collab for under retail.

Why you need 12 pairs 😂😂😂
Im extremely happy that Adidas Forums aren’t upcharged by resellers. The fact that they have 100s of color ways for cheap cheap is a huge plus imo.

I’m kind of happy about the Trainer flops because it’s my favorite shoe. Since they always flop I can cop them pretty easily and normally on sale.
i have the brown pair and i love them
@@blinkxoncemidzy those fire
I got the dark smokes when they dropped. Those are 🔥
Big facts fam‼️💯👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
💯
This video was the biggest miss of the year from you imo - feels like this is a list of shoes that resellers lost money on more than anything else
Facts. 💯. Essentially if ppl couldn’t make money off the shoe it’s a dud.
I agree..I love my TS trainers..super comfy
Facts, just cause they don’t have as much resale doesn’t mean they flopped, a lot of the sneakers still sold out initially
Exactly he’s just into hype I’m starting to dislike him more and more it’s only about resell if a shoe doesn’t resell it’s a flop 😂😂😂that’s their mentality
That’s what a flop is for a company. Some might like them but if they don’t generate any money then they are considered a flop.
Totally agree about dunk high 85, also the regular high was a flop this year
Those travis air trainer 1s are fire imo. Made me bring out my Draft Day Air trainer 1s. Ill have to grab a pair didnt realize how affordable those are.
They are Dope. I ordered the Shima Shima Air Trainers a week or so ago and wished I saw this video 1st. I would have bought the Travis Scott's Air Trainers. I'm happy with my shima Shima purchase though.

See, that's because most peps don't remember the og colorways
I love the travis air trainer (the shroud, xtra pockets, colorway)
for me the adidas 4d technology is such a big thing as nike air was back then. i really like the look of that 4d stuff.
Elliott, have you personally tried the 4dfwd out? They arnt the lightest but they have just as much cushion as the boost. I'm also 5'11 195lbs lol
I was late to the party but the Forums are really nice ok so they dead on resale but as a clean well made day to day pair can't fault them. The Bad Bunny pairs mwah * chefs kiss.
I wish I could find a pair of classic Cortez but the only cheap pairs available are the union collabs
I still think the air trainers fire with or without the name attached to em
What great and dynamic way of reviewing them all!! Converse x ACW new silhouettes should be here too.
Maison chateau and Chicago’s were also some really good 2s to drop in 2022.
I like the Nike Air Trainers 1. Just ordered the Nike Air Trainer 1 & Shima Shima Collabs for $75. I don't care what anybody says, they look dope and are comfortable from what I can remember back in the early 90s.

Check out the Wood Wood x Adidas Forum, that's probably the best collab that I've seen in person.
That and the end clothing collab. Like adidas did fuck up with the Wtf collab. But there some solid collabs on the shoe.
The real problem I have with the Jordan 2 is that it's way too color way dependent. Most of the retros models like 1, 4, and 11 look good in 90% of color ways but Jordan 2s only look good in like 30%
more like 2%.. Jordan 2 is just ugly and could be a kitchen/nurse shoe if it wasnt Jordan/Nike.
But the colorway is what make them dope, the og colorways that is, all they had to do is drop the ogs and lows and they would have been good

And that's why i purchased the ispa's Mindbody's so when people just bin them i'll be the only one with a pair lol 😛
I bought the brown trainer ts and liked them allot at first but after 1 month i heavily disklike them they dint really go with anything now i just use them as gym shoes
Those serial killer joints are kinna cool
i'm old...what does it say on Elliot's hat??
Ispa aimed at swappables or interchangeable parts¿
love ur vids
Ay thank you so much!🙏❤️🔥
This why sneakers culture dry now. So essentially if there no hype for the shoe it’s trash 🤦🏿♂️
The travis scott air trainer 1s are kinda nice tho
Me looking at my closet .. thinking Jordan 2's in 2035 is going to pave the way to my kid's college tuition. ;)
I bought the mint green air trainers for the gym
One mans flop is a another’s treasure. The trainer 1 shape isn’t bad but the color ways have rainbows hell na
Virgil, Union and A Ma Maniere killed it on the J2. The other collabs (respectfully) not so much. But here's the thing. The shoe flopped because of the releases and colorways, not necessarily because of the silhouette itself.
Let's imagine a world with J2 collabs with:
Off White
A Ma Maniere
Union
Travis Scott
Fragment
and some clean colorways like the Chicago color blocking but with royal/unc/celtics/ravens and then we'd be talking sell outs!
Good vid 👍
I’m sorry Eliot I have to disagree with you about forums. Bad bunny sold out at END. Usually they will be left overs for bad bunny on END but not for this last forum release. People are still looking for the blue threads and the grey orbit. And bad bunny are one of the true and greatest collaboration of all time as is just not taking a silhouette and just putting Colors and a nice logo. Bad bunny really got involved with the design aspect and it made the silhouette cooler. And what’s with 4DFWD have you even tried the ultra4DFWD or the 4DFWD2. It sold out in some regions. People are running with it and they even use these sneaker everyday as it’s so comfortable. I bought the ultra4DFWD in sail and no regrets at all. I was so impressed of the Comfort and it makes me wanna run as long as I can. I’m a skater and a runner myself. No other brand has made running so enjoyable with its technology except for Adidas. Forum ADV is one of the best sneakers to skate on. This coming from a guy who wore dunks and aj1 since young.
Here in Japan, the Cortez is super popular with the girls.
It’s crazy how original silhouettes get treated like 💩. The Cortez is Nikes first track shoe and I think one of their oldest silhouettes. The Air Trainers is Nikes first cross trainer.
I guess to hypebeast and resellers these shoes are flops. But honestly, the 2s, Cortez, Air Trainers are a huge part of Nikes History.
Most of in the list you call flops just coz they sell for retail..lmao. Nike's raking money all the same.
It would have been cool if they did it where it came apart and then you can interlock choose of the same style just different colors that would have been cool but going for the easy to Recycle thing LOL
Hold on, the joints in the thumbnail go hard...where can I find these for $58? 👀
i feel like shoes flop nowadays because once they become popular the prices are insane
The Jordan 2 is the grand daddy flop. Time is the reason but Nike is more of the reason. Everyone was still celebrating the Jordan 1 release & Nike kept the shelves stocked up. It sold over & over restocks straight through the Jordan 2. People were stuck on the Jordan 1 & forgot about 2 instantly.
Haha i finally found a good or rather perfect function for wearing the 4K Brickz - it's when I play the Drumset. It's an actual Thing I Do and this is a "secret Pedal Weapon" and the first proper alternative to socks or these stupid boxer boots ah in Case of my 4Ks they are squeeking pink and lilac (SNS Collab) and almost not wearable with like everything. So Drums though. Peace Y'all from Allemagne
