I love that you talk about function. Shoes are one of the most important part of clothing wear functionally. And yet I never care for it's function when I buy one. I have, since your videos, changed my mind. Love your videos. Keep it up. :]
I own the bamba 3s and just got the 5s. Absolutely love the lineup of 11 x salomon shoes! Great mix of tech and designer imo. I appreciate the various backgrounds and fits you put in very nice touch
I would love to find out more about the dye process that BBS uses - when you inspect the Dirty colours (ie the dyed ones) it’s amazing that they are able to dye something like a shoe including the sole with that almost tie dye effect. I definitely think going up half a size is a good idea but agree that ¼ size would be ideal. My only gripes with these (low and high) are that the laces are pretty feeble and too long. And the insole is also a bit feeble, especially when compared to the normal Salomons. Great review 👍👏
I appreciate it man! I tried to look up more on the dyeing process but didn't find much! the dyeing process is very unique and sets 11bybbs apart for sure. the laces could be a tad shorter, I do agree. once they are all tied up, you have to be careful when zipping up because the laces are too long.
Great video Corbin! Those are some sick looking shoes indeed. I'm interested in picking one of these 11 by Boris shoes myself in the future, but I'm afraid of getting them all dirty and worn down (especially when something cost A LOT). I tend to keep most of my things factory new and the thought of wearing something and getting them all dirty (or worse, damaged) can really trigger my OCD problems for sure. Still, I hope they don't completely sell out by the time I became more than confident enough to pull the trigger and wear them while taking good care of them, of course.
Thank you man! some of my favorite shoes. if you get a pair of dyed ones, they look dirty anyways! lol. "using" but not "abusing" i think is key to getting past that
This was actually a really dope video man. Ive been looking at this Salo/BBS collection for awhile. Bought the GTX Highs, ended up returning them because of the plastic laceholders. They seemed not to be very durable and if one ever broke, there goes the whole shoe because you need the perfect laceup on those. Ended up going with the straight Saloman GTX's. But man I still want to pick up some BBS, may have to get these blues.
Got them last year, specifically the bamba 2 low 'Dirty Reds'. Absolutely love the durability of the traction, silhouette and the different hues of one color. And I love that they're always end up going 50% off. Yeah, the laces are a little bit cumbersome to tuck in everytime you want to use the zip. Also Salomon are so inconsistent, when it comes to sizing. I feel that they fit half size big, maybe it's just my feet.
Nice video, this was a great in-depth look into these shoes. I have the Camper CRCLR high which are quite similar in form and function but a bit cheaper. I think the Bambas look quite a bit better, though. One nice thing about the Campers is that there are no laces.
thank you man! again, I think it comes down to if you like the look of the bambas just because there are other shoes out there like you pointed out that have similar performance
Man great review and insights! I looove the plain black GTX highs 💕 Been looking for these online for a while now, without any luck … any hints where one should look for them?
Thank you for this great, detailed and honest review. I've been waiting for a review of the low DYE version. Also good to know the paint might still bleed a bit. A bit disappointed as well. Nonetheless a super awesome design I really love. Even would say Bambas are techwear classic shoes. And of course, fantastic fits with the Bambas and your enfin leve and deploy pants.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think there can just be some excess dye that doesn't soak into the shoe, so at least on the soles they should rub off after wearing them outside.
Hey Corbin, great video! I know you talked about this briefly but I just wanted to inquire more. I just got the bamba 2 lows, and they haven’t come in yet so this might be pre mature but I’m worried about their trail performance. I got them largely in mind that my hiking shoes are getting old and I wanted a shoe to look clean on the trail. I think while these are expensive shoes, they might look better all dusted and beat up but will they perform ok? The sole to me looked fairly flat and kind of wide at the toe which I thought looked similar to the shape of a trail running shoe but maybe not. I’m planning a very long trip next summer that will include a ton of city walking and most likely several hikes a week, and these are THE shoe I was going to wear… let me know what you think! Might try to sell and try my hand at the bamba 5’s if these aren’t adequate. I do like the 5’s but the silhouette on the 2’s is so much cooler so idk.
@Corbin I LOOOOOVE THIIS MASTERPIECE!! I don’t speak your language so i’m writing to you: my number is 41, of these shoes here what should I get? do i have to considerably a larger number due to a tight fit or not? THANK YOU
These are one of my grails I'm thinking of getting them only if they last long. How've they held up so far? I found a listing for about 500 usd for a size thats about half a size or 3/4th more than my tts. Do you think its worth it?
For the bamba 2 lows do you feel like you should have stuck TTS instead of a half size up? Most people say to size a half up but some people also say TTS so idk. Making sure i know what size to get before purchasing
Does the gore tex on high top stretch out and lose its elasticity after multiple wears? Would you recommend the gore tex or the non-gore tex version? I live in a more tropical type of country, so am debating whether to get the high top or the low top. I am leaning on the high top, but am not sure if the neoprene actually traps in too much heat. Any advise would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
@@tonyrojas1879 Y-3 also made a GTX shoe with a similar build but a lot more GTX branding. I think this will be a low key influential shoe kind of like how the RAF Simons x Adidas Ozweego kicked off the /bulky/Dad shoe wave

lovely shoes you got there. and thank you man!
Hey for the BBS Bamba 5s did you go TTS or a half size up?? Trying to figure out the right size to purchase
Dang, never thought a pair of salomons could be that fire. The low top pair is dope 🔥
That black stripe at the side gives me PUMA vibes, especially for the lows
i can kinda see it lol

Nice to see a reviewer with a slimmer profile. Great style too.

Love the Bamba 2 highs. My favourite silhouette by far

the dirty reds are a rally nice dye! I'm glad to hear that they have held up over time!
Would try styling the dyed version with black cargos, grey long sleeve and the vest you showed in the video!
That could be fire.
They are releasing an all white version this season, tempted to get those and dye them myself. Expensive project though.
that could be a fun project. My buddy thought of getting the white ones and just wearing them into the dirt so they get very worn
Did you do this?

Super sick shoes, glad to hear your opinions on them 😎

love the fits, are those black deploy cargos a size M?
They are a M, yes!
glad I watched this, no point in spending that amount of money if my feet will still get absolutely drenched
the GTX ones do good in wet conditions, unless you are in a downpour for a long time, only then would the tops of your feet get wet
@@corbin7020 downpours is all we get here in South East Asia.

What size are your speedcross? I am a TTS US9 in Nike/Adidas and had to get 9.5 for speedcross and was wondering what size to get the BBS 11's in.
HI，the shoe size is bigger or smaller compare to your personal size?
For anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to these you could try the Pharell x Terrex Free Hiker Zip
My god they look so much alike 😂

On the one hand you say you find it true that they run a half size small, then why do u suggest going TTS?
these are no where to be found anymore and i’m devastated
mad respect for the star wars figures lol so sick
a man of culture..
Corbin do you have a link for those wranglers ?
bit.ly/3bSFSuO these are some similar ones! but I tapered mine. I remember I sized up in the west
@@corbin7020 you rule thanks bro !
Where did you get the top you’re wearing in this video
I bought a size 10.5 and I’m usually a 10.5-11. Will they fit??
most likely. they may be a tad tight but worst case you could always sell and get pretty much all your money back!
You should check out the New Balance x Snow Peak MSRC4GSA
interesting shoes for sure. different for New Balance!
Do you know where i can find the bamba 5 in size us 12 or us 13?
Nice, cool fits!
Thanks man!
Anyone based in Canada, there are some options on sale at SSENSE. Just got a pair of high tops 2s for $339 CAD
I love’em but they are soo expensive😢
mad expensive. even used they can be a lot
Saw this and thought damn those hightops are nice then went and checked the price and fell off my chair
Is it true to size?
Wish i got them but sheesh they hella 🔥
they've been in my scope for years and finally copped!
Hello
id never pay 600$ for a pair of shoes wtf
This video isn’t directed to you then.
Is the SSENSE link for the high top version the same as the ones you're wearing in your video? Thanks
Nvm it's not
ye bru they no longer have them :(
