I was smiling throughout his entire video. Love that he strapped them up, even for just a bit as I imagine it was pretty painful with all those pins in his ankles.
It's beautiful seeing these dudes return to skating. With the state of medical technology, it seems its possible for a lot of people to recover and get on the blades. I've never tried Razor skates, but Id gladly make these my first set
Always wanted the shima 3, happy I finally got the chance to grab em!! You’re channel got me back on skates after 7 years of not skating, keep up the great work my man!
just got my in the mail from Knightskate in San Bernardino, Ca. couldn’t be happier, Put them on in my house and they feel so crispy. I don’t know if i wanna put these to pavement just yet.
My old shima3s got stolen when i was 15 and made me quit skating i went through 3 pairs of them from 13 to15 best skaye ever!!I got a pair and am dieing to skate them again at 35
I have a pair of shima 2 boots I got in a trade some years ago, from someone on be-mag forum for some xsjados I had laying around. So this is definitely really dope imo, I missed out on the 1's release but I'm a big fan of all of his skates he had with razors. I didn't have them back when they came out either I was big on USD thrones (price point team thrones) but I know people who had them as well and yeah they are in my opinion the best looking razors ever released even now. I don't skate that much these days but I'm picking these up if I can. I have a feeling there won't be many released like the last reissue.
@@maneotis4g63t yes but it's already long overdue, and Andy continues to bank on nostalgia rather than promote the people on the team who are loyal to Razors. I love Shima just as much as anyone else, but do all their riders have to literally break their backs to get pro products?
@Joseph Lux yes if only businesses could survive without making money. Sounds like the Shimas will outsell the Brooms and that's why they're doing this. Amazing talent doesn't sell skates.
My concern in this push for nostalgia is that it might not be aimed at new, young gen z kids getting into blading for their first few years of the sport. They may consider Shima a legend but since all of his footage is from a long time ago, there might be a disconnect for this audience. I hope all skate companies are investing enough into current skaters who hit modern trends (like Broskow and Danny Beer) so that the kids can have current heroes out there ripping the streets and putting out footage.
To be fair there are much cheaper skates than that like basic cults, M12s, Sways etc. Considering how much inflation has gone up recently the old classics haven't increased in price much at all. And for people that have the money and want to get $400 skates at least it's putting money into the skate companies right. If someone was really trying to get back in to skating and money was an issue there are of course second hand skates available on blade trade, eBay, etc.
I agree, seems like every drop recently has been $400 and more. That’s too much for a pair of skates and I make 6 figures a year. I’m getting Feinberg Aeons and I’m done. $400 for a pair of skates with the same old parts and liners isn’t worth it. Your getting played but hey spend that bread 😂💸.
@@frootbootllc5139 and yet you pay 6 bucks for 18 eggs, and 7 bucks for a 2x4, but skates should stay the same price for 20 years. Got it. Go check out an old skate pile or RW ad. Cults and other skates were 2-300 back then.
@@maneotis4g63t your getting played homie. You can get a cult for $200 right now without a name on it. No disrespect to Shima at all but we’ve been down this road already. Andrew Broom deserves a skate!
Seeing Shima cruising on skates is such a blessing. Dude shattered both of his heels, can't even imagine...

This short excerpt of Damien Wilson cessliding brings instantly back the spooky piano theme to my mind

Got a pair yesterday. Drove down to Loco. 7 hour round trip. Totally worth it.

Idk why I'm getting this video recommended to me but those are some cool skates and you seem like a handsome nice man
Im so glad these are only $250 right now. Grabbin a pair
So dope, I’m very tempted to grab these…

Legendary skates
I’m totally getting these!
Have to get these since I missed the first pair
Andrew Broom gets snubbed again. 🤦🏻♂️
Just because they re-released the 3 doesn't mean broom won't get one eventually

@xt I guess, but the skates are absolutely sick regardless of who they're attached to. Kids still buy Jordans.
Damn I can’t take this 400$ blade trend we got nowadays can’t get back into skating when ya can’t afford skates!
Go make some bread Playa

De Ja vu

@@anton972yehuda I honestly might pick these up as my first razors when they come out… but there are so many other Skates in line lol
One of the best looking skates I ever skated, one of the worst skates I ever skated.
Why won't they last long? I thought they were built different! 💪😜
