Having a question section would be great! Loving the podcast & those womens exclusive AJ2's would've been so dope to have in a full size run. Hopefully we get a questions section in the next podcast so if we do, here's a couple questions. Question 1 Chris are you a fan of Transformers? Question 2 (for both of you) What is your most worn sneaker? Big love from England to you guys and the community! ✌🏻
So awesome you got Boring’s pair in hand. Would love to see a video on the pair. So excited that he plans on doing more 85 color ways. Right now, he is working on a pair of 85 breds.
Congrats on 10 episodes!! I have 6 auditions to submit but I had to get my dose of Jodi’s corner before I can move forward! LOL!!! With regards to being buried alive…I’m not sure what I’d do, though the solace of knowing that once you use up small your oxygen, you’re just going to essentially fall asleep and then not wake up…so I’d be cool with that. It’s the reason why if you buy a cooler’s worth of ice cream and it’s in the car, they tell you to have your windows down because of the dry ice. Good circulation is key. I’m cautiously excited for Gargoyles because I just loved the series…..however I’m super excited for Masters of the Universe Revolution…because Keith David (no relation….i think 😆) is voicing HORDAK!!! 🤓
This is my first UA-cam comment ever on any video. Big fan of your work, been following for years and I’m diggin the podcasts. Since you do read the comments I have a suggestion: maybe make the logo that stays on the screen smaller or move it behind camera shots and photos. It’s a little distracting and often covers the pics in the middle of the screen
I had thought about it, but it only covers a very small portion of that screen so it never bothered me enough to change it. I figured if having 98% of the frame shown isn’t distracting me from anything then it wasn’t a big deal.
Congrats on the 10th episode. I tune in for every one of em.... I feel like if I could go back in time, i'd wanna actually see how things like the pyramids and temples were built. To see the tools n technology they used to cut and move those huge stones
I’d love the answering questions segment! Call it WT : Rewind! And yes I’d travel back from the 60’s till the early 2000’s to many many concerts and sporting events
Chris/Jodi - thoughts on Loki s2 finale and how it compares to other recent MCU movies/shows? Jodi - coming in with the spooky/creepy tidbits, love it!
I enjoy the podcast. I think it would be awesome if you guys have any friends that have worked at a local shoe store, a physical shoe store, for a long time, just as a guest on your podcast that would be awesome to see what their perspective on things are, before the pandemic and since then. Just an idea I’m throwing out there. I love what you guys do.
I’d love to Time Travel ⏰ back to 1955 as I’ve always found that era very interesting because of the cars and the fashion style people had. Then I’d like to go forward every 10 years (‘65, ‘75 and ‘85) just to see how the world changed 👀 before hitting a few Toys R Us for action figures and vehicles 😎
my favorite hobby's in one podcast sneakers and action figures anything 80s and 90s stuff pure nostalgia 😁 it's just missing guitars and it'll be perfect hehe
Question for Chris: what were Saturday mornings like for you as a kid? Have you done anything to try to recreate the magic of Saturday mornings for your son since, sadly they are a thing of the past?
Who has a bigger shoe collection out of you both?oh and to add on the Jodi's corner topic it's also where the term "graveyard shift" started and you're both right about kill bill , the second movie she punched out of the coffin, the first movie she was in the truck
Hi Chris, can you tell me how the Boring Development 85 Jordan fit? I believe you are a size 9 like me. Boring Development doesn't have any more size 9s. I'm trying to determine if I should size up or down. Thanks
Is there a trail or state park story y'all would have? This past weekend, my friends and I saw a coral snake(venomous one)at Brazos Bend State Park (Texas)
Episode 11: “Move to Zero” Chris, I appreciate you calling out the apparent hypocrisy in the marketing of “moving to zero” while continuing to over produce product. I’m a Profuct Design student at KCAI, and what I’ve come to is that the culture is the problem, meaning we would need a marketing scheme unlike any other to change the behavior of the consumer to expect higher quality product at reasonable prices, I promise you it is doable. Greed and convenience in my opinion keeps us away from solutions like this. Anyway an idea I had when I was in highschool, was what if, signature athletes debuted new signature models very few years rather than every year, for the sake of moving to zero. This would create an opportunity for larger collaborations and events, better color ways and storytelling, and a greater opportunity for feedback to design better models. ALSO, no more take down models, just design better/more affordable shoes, IT IS POSSIBLE! Let me know your thoughts! Been watching/subbed since I was in middle school SALUTE!
Complex moved the Complex Sneaker Podcast to the Complex channel, killing their viewership. Honestly, there's been a void in the podcast niche for a while, so the pod may have its own audience/culture some day soon. "If you build it, they will come."
I started to get dizzy with that story from Jodie 😅. If I could time travel, I would go back but not too far, maybe somewhere between the 70s, see that era of basketball and also play... My style of play would have probably been seen as witchcraft 😂
I think the main reason. The retros sit is pricing like we kno the shoes was sold at 100 bucks back in yr whatever, why try n pimp us out on 100% increase? I get 10-20 bucks hell maybe even 30 but 200 bucks for nike zoom lebron 2 is insane, I literally waited until them shits was 50% off til I copped
Funny I got the bored 85s a month ago! Can’t see myself spending 600 for vrl and these are amazing alternative. You need to do a proper review/video of these please
Exactly my thoughts. I got the boring 85's, at a price that I could have lived with had they turned out crappy. But they're absolutely worth it, imo, and am glad I resisted getting those VRL's. Besides, my wife would have killed me if she found out I spent that much on a single pair of shoes lol
Hey Chris and Jodi, what are your thoughts on barefoot shoes (like Vivo Barefoot)? I personally hate them, but my wife is adamant that our 2 daughters (ages 8 & 5) have to wear them - no Air Jordans, no Nike Air, nothing with cushioning allowed. Our daughters are pissed because they see me wearing my Air Jordans and want their own pair (I do let them wear mine just for fun clomping around the house). My wife's reasoning is that shoes with extra cushioning and a narrower toe box wreck your foot development, and barefoot shoes are the only shoes that let a kids foot develop naturally. Have you found any research or truth to that opinion? My wife never played sports when she was younger, and I have tried to explain it would be impossible to play a sport like basketball in barefoot shoes without destroying your joints - ankles, knees, hips (and probably lower back). My daughters do play pretty hard on the playground and outside at our house - is it possible barefoot shoes with zero cushioning can actually harm them? Just wondering what your thoughts are on barefoot shoes, I haven't heard you mention them before.
Birkenstock aren’t what they used to be. Back in the day, they used to have rubber soles. Now they this cheap plastic and don’t last like they used to. I lived in Germany. My first pair were the best pair I owned
Well, about those Jordans 2 called "Italy"... I'm Italian, born, Bred and living there (hi, BTW), and as much as I love Jordans and the J2 in particular, I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole. The same reaction happened with the friends to which I showed the picture. They all went "so they're like green, white and red, ok, but aside from that?"
Gotta disagree about shoes in the line looking the same the LeBron 20 and 21 are literally the same shoe plus i can't tell the difference in the entire Kyrie line
Chris the 8s look like a good evolution from the 7, and the lacing also makes them look a bit better from the 7. Def more different than the bron 20 vs 21😂
I disagree. Evolution in design means you can see what came before it while still getting a new design. The Harden Vol 7-8 and LBJ 20-21 both don’t fit that bill. Penny line is the best example of nuanced evolution within design. Key themed elements remain part of the overall aesthetic but done very differently each time.
Constructive criticism… I really enjoy your guys’ back and forth banter, and I like each of you doing your thing individually too, but for some reason I lose interest when you go into your “time out” portion of the show. Not really sure what it is, since I thoroughly enjoy all the other content you put out on a variety of topics. Would love to know your thoughts. Are your analytics showing a drop off at that point in the video? I think you’ve got something really great going here and I want to see you keep it growing.
It’s my personal favorite segment as I loved cartoons, comics, action figures and films long before I was into sneakers. many have requested that I bring back the old Nightwing’s Nerd Sh*t segment from back in the day and this was my way of doing it. But if that many of you really don’t enjoy the nerd stuff (a huge part of me and who I am) then I’ll just take myself out of the podcast and hand it over to Jodi. If I’m not allowed to be 100% myself on my own podcast then there’s no desire on my end to continue doing it.
Nobody denies that it’s fake. That’s what a bootleg is. But it’s still done better than Jordan Brand - which sells authentic replicas of its original products.
@@JSPainting_and_DrawingNo, you are not gonna get thrown in the slammer or be on some black list for buying fakes lol. Now, people re-selling them to others and claiming that they're retail, now that's just being a douchebag
I'm a rep reviewer, and Boring Watch sent me a pair of the 85's to review. So damn cool to see you got them! I think they're fantastic.
Hi, so it's legit to purchase them through Whatsapp and PayPal? They do look very good. Thanks in advance.
Hands Down, Wear Testers is the best shoe/1980-90's nostalgia reviews. Love it!!! Keep it up
Appreciate it!
Having a question section would be great!

10 episodes, wow! Love it! My favorite show.
Some say that "saved by the bell" is not a boxing reference, but a reference to those coffins with a bell and a rope
Really? That’s cool.
I laughed a lot while watching this episode, I enjoyed it very much... Great job once again and congratulations on the tenth episode.
😂 the Jody story about history reminds me of that Bill Hader SNL Dateline skits. How excited they are to talk about grim moments. Love it!!
I have those 85s! They took months for him to create and finally release. Love them
You got a link to the store? Finding Chicago’s in size 14 that aren’t being scalped is impossible
@@WrexFactor27 if you look up developer boring they have a website or they also have a weidan shop
I really enjoyed Loki. This season feels much tighter in writing and directing with plenty of Mobius and Loki just hanging out moments. ❤
Love the content & decided to go ahead and join the team , looking forward to great content to come. ✌️✌️
I'm kinda glad the Harden 8 only looks so-so, because I've been obsessed with how good the 7 looks and got way more colorways than I have room for.
I really enjoy these podcast 😊
10 is a milestone 🎉
Jodi’s shirt is fire!!!!
I’d love the answering questions segment! Call it WT : Rewind!
And yes I’d travel back from the 60’s till the early 2000’s to many many concerts and sporting events
My boy DB getting the recognition he deserves! These '85s are clean. He also mentioned a Bred '85 is in the works
Scorpio season here too...congrats ma'am....11/7 was me and my daughter day
11/7 is a great day for birthdays 🥳
"well I was going to talk about books that had been bound by human skin" 😂😂😂😂
Hey! The Bostons at the ones!! I have the Indigo pair and wear them everyday.
The 85s are nice. Got my pair from Boring they're worth it.
Where can I get a pair?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODI!!!! 🎂🎉🎊
Chris/Jodi - thoughts on Loki s2 finale and how it compares to other recent MCU movies/shows?
Jodi - coming in with the spooky/creepy tidbits, love it!

Love these episodes always look forward to pretty much any weartester content. Also ty for reminding me Loki season 2 is out 🤯🏃
I agree with Chris that type of chair are the worst! 😂

What’s boring website I’d like to check them out and see what they have
my favorite hobby's in one podcast sneakers and action figures anything 80s and 90s stuff pure nostalgia 😁 it's just missing guitars and it'll be perfect hehe
U can rock those Pennys with sweats n retro shirts
Question for Chris: what were Saturday mornings like for you as a kid? Have you done anything to try to recreate the magic of Saturday mornings for your son since, sadly they are a thing of the past?
10th episode 🎉 favorite channel to get tremendous info on sneakers 😊😊😊

YASSSS we got JODI on the Vomero 5 GANG!!!!!!! - TEAM COMFY!
Any idea where I can find the boring 85s?
A huuuge fan of both of your work btw!
r/developerboring
Congrats on the 10th episode and happy birthday Mrs Wing 🎂🤗
“Decay & Roses” sounds like a great band name
Hi Chris, can you tell me how the Boring Development 85 Jordan fit? I believe you are a size 9 like me. Boring Development doesn't have any more size 9s. I'm trying to determine if I should size up or down. Thanks
I’d go down 1/2 sz
Is there a trail or state park story y'all would have? This past weekend, my friends and I saw a coral snake(venomous one)at Brazos Bend State Park (Texas)
Hey guys, where can I watch this live?
A comment question answer video would be amazing!
Yo questions comment for the next podcast to answer is solid man 👍
1:15 great idea.
Return of Drip Daddy??? Ooooooooooooooo DripWing!
Have you seen that Air Max Penny 1s in that old Athletics colorway? It’s a good one in my opinion.
Im excited to see more colorways of the 8. I also wonder how long Harden’s contract with Adidas it.

Hey I always wanted to know if there was a reason you y’all don’t cover SB dunks or dunks in general?
We used to but people didn’t seem interested in the videos so we stopped.
@@WearTesters ahhh respect that 🫡
Can we get an update from Chris later when his birks break in?
I hate crocs though 😂

Hey Chris what’s a great alternative to the air Jordan 12 I think a good alternative is the zoom flight 95 ?
Not up your butt? .... Jody's face, Priceless...😂😂😂
I think the main reason. The retros sit is pricing like we kno the shoes was sold at 100 bucks back in yr whatever, why try n pimp us out on 100% increase? I get 10-20 bucks hell maybe even 30 but 200 bucks for nike zoom lebron 2 is insane, I literally waited until them shits was 50% off til I copped
Idea for Chris: insole company for basketball/running shoes to help with the s****y insole that provided with the modern bb/running shoes.
Funny I got the bored 85s a month ago! Can’t see myself spending 600 for vrl and these are amazing alternative. You need to do a proper review/video of these please

@@MrRoda8143link to the store? I need them
I had mentioned this before, would love to hear Chris view on the NBA in general, what do you think of the harden trade and the new look spurs.
I would wear the Penny 2 like a sneaker boot.
Congrats! 10 episodes ♾️ to go.
Jordan 1 high og are still 180. And the 2s are usually 175

I guess the Briks are the foamposite of sandals/slides
The Vol 7s are great shoes except the hefty price tag, and they don’t go on sale which sucks
Birkenstock aren’t what they used to be. Back in the day, they used to have rubber soles. Now they this cheap plastic and don’t last like they used to. I lived in Germany. My first pair were the best pair I owned
Are you doing a review on Penny stadium greens?
How were the boring pair 130 buckaroos? Can't tell if he's asking why a bootleg shoe is so expensive or how a shoe is "just" 130
I was already thinking about pulling the trigger on those Developer Boring 1's. Wow.
I have a pair and can confirm they are DOPE
@@pattonPwrwhere to get one?
#Birktesters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Jodie listens to Lore podcast 😅
I think those hardens 8 and Anthony Edwards were supposed to be some type of yeezy
Looks like a real shoe to me!!
What is your top 5 performance basketball shoes of all time?
Well, about those Jordans 2 called "Italy"... I'm Italian, born, Bred and living there (hi, BTW), and as much as I love Jordans and the J2 in particular, I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole.

How long till chris says birks are the most comfty shoes ever! Haha welcome to the dark side
When are you guys going to discus Supra and going
Out of business
Gotta disagree about shoes in the line looking the same the LeBron 20 and 21 are literally the same shoe plus i can't tell the difference in the entire Kyrie line
YES, you absolutely need to watch Loki..they crushed it IMO!
They indeed look like an iron
Please add time stamps!
Come for the shoes, stay for Jodi's Corner
You know it's a special occasion and milestone when Chris is wearing jeans instead of shorts
WHAT HAPPEN TOT HE CHAPTERS :/
Are you going to make a video on the Reebok Pump Vertical?
Chris gotta embrace the “washedness”, love the Birkenstocks. I love mine, good for foot health
I actually like the harden vol 8 but imo the ae 1 dopest debut in a long time!
