Tiago may be the first ever skateboarder to have a basketball shoe!! I know Koston and PRod Kobe inspired shoes, but this is definitely a special pair!!
Yeah I have seen those. Not sure what to think just yet. I should get some. This collab was super awesome though because new balance paired athletes from different areas of their business and fully built a new shoe around it. A true skate/basketball mash up. Kind of an nbd. You could say the dunk and Jordan’s from Nike are the same kind of story but not really. New balance really pulled the two worlds together in a super unique way. I just think that’s cool as crap.
Tiago wasn’t skating in that shoe. He was skating in the 1010 of the same color way. NB just released this Kawhi 4 b ball shoe, the 1010 and the 480 all in the same color way and similar design. They teamed up for a commercial but this is 100% kawhi’s shoe and a basketball shoe, not a skate shoe
I just watched that video like five times just now…. I may be crazy but Kawhi is wearing the 1010 and Tiago is wearing the Kawhi 4. The 1010 doesn’t have that 808 style toe box and they didn’t make an 808 for this drop. The kawhi is not his typical shoe and not available in any other color than this collab color. They built this shoe for this release. Fully a new shoe. It’s a kawhi IV with a mix of elements from his shoe and both the 1010 and 808 numeric shoes.
Yeah I’m absolutely positive. Kawhi is wearing the 1010. Tiago is skating in the basketball shoe. I have been aware that there were 3 shoes in this pack since last January. We didn’t have them in stock when I made the video but they did arrive this weekend.
@@DavidBluetile the shoe Kawhi's wearing is the Kawhi 4. It's the exact same build as the other 3 color ways of the kawhi 4. Every one has slightly different materials. This one just has some synthetic leather overlays. But it's the kawhi 4, not a hybrid.
@@DavidBluetile OK. You're right. It ws like a second and a half clip where they showed the shoes they were wearing and their ankles. THEY SWITCHED IT UP FOR THE VIDEO. Tiago wore Kawhi's basketball shoes and kawhi had on Tiago's skate shoes
Completely different upper than the other Kawhi 4s. I literally have a direct line to the designers at new balance. The description on the new balance website is just a cut / paste of the description of the actual kawhi 4 but that’s not accurate for materials or the tech features on the upper.
Definitely want the tiago 1010 version of these. The kawhi 4s are sick but definitely like the 1010s better and they got both their names on the 1010 pair as well gonna be sick. I would love to get this pair as well but probably dont have enough money for both pairs lol. I wish. Mannnnn. Sick stuff from all the brands right now man theyre going crazy needa slow down 😂 When you said god damnit and started pumping the ball up 😂😂😂
It’s def a basketball outsole but it’s a crossover story with Tiago. If you can skate a D3 you could skate this but I wouldn’t buy it expecting it to have board feel and buttery flick…. Just like clunky skate shoes
just coming back to this. this is the kawhi 4 outsole but the upper has been redesigned to have features of the 808 Tiago, the 1010 Tiago, and the kawhi 4. so its a really cool story but probably isn't the best shoe on the market for either basketball or skate..... this release is so limited its really just meant for those people who love a great collab and want something different. People will skate these. people will hoop in these... people will just rock these.
@@DavidBluetile nah, they're made for basketball. The materials are perfect for basketball. The entire shoe is the exact same as the other 3 kawhi 4 releases. Except the outer layers of the upper which have been different for every release. It's just a color way that got released with all 3 models.
Very few select shops and I was so excited to get this shoe. I’m always more upset by die hard skaters that demand “core” brands and then only buy them on clearance. This particular story is one of the most exciting stories I’ve had in the shop in a while. They built an entirely new shoe for a collab with Tiago. Who else is doing that?
Tiago may be the first ever skateboarder to have a basketball shoe!! I know Koston and PRod Kobe inspired shoes, but this is definitely a special pair!!
Those aren’t his. They’re the Kawhi sigs. His are the 1010
These are so dope, super hyped on them!
should've worn a headband! haha
Picked these up as a casual/lifestyle shoe as I already have go-to bball shoes. Not a skater at all but I love ball and thought these looked dope.
Def a good pick up for something just so rare and creative
Waiting for the 480 review, really like that colorway, missed out on the junipers. But this one looks like the best colorway since the junipers.
I've been putting off buying a pair or 2 of the Tiago Lemos sneakers for quite a while now. These are the ones.
Im not big fans new balance, but mixing first and second pro model tiago lemos and make this shoes for basket and skate is amazing!
The heel counter is from Kawhi’s newest basketball shoe
And the outsole tread is super similar
Definitely build it!
Kyrie is putting out some skate shoes but ain't hating these. I'm a skater but can appreciate the athletic aspect of basketball

You gotta build it on camera
We need more Tiago X Rone colorways! But man these are fiiiiire 🔥
I sold mine because they ran bigger than the regular ones and I was swimming in them
@@DavidBluetileI still have the white ones in the box.
Those are really good 😊
Those r 🔥🔥🔥

Build the lego set!!
I just might. I wonder how long it would take
I want a blue pair of the Actions
So these a basketball or skate ?

It’s 100% a basketball shoe. It’s the Kawhi 4 signature basketball shoes. They have the skate shoe in the same style and color way

NB forcing skate shops to sell a ball shoe is petty

11:20 yes
5:14 that is kawhi 4 outsole desgin traction is good . but gum outsole is bad for outdoor basketball
Wonder why gum is good for skateboarding but bad for basketball outdoors
Oh yeah? Is it too grippy? Not grippy enough?
