    The person who doesn't return their cart, the person who leaves their cart on one side of the aisle while they look at things on the other side, people who get out of line to get something they forgot when they already put their items on the conveyor belt. I could go on, but I gotta get stuff done today.

    hey Chris! just wanted to say I'm super happy that you've been able to keep up the great work with these videos and giving the people in depth performance reviews and sneaker history! The Kobe 8s were the first video I watched of yours and I've been hooked on sneaker performance ever since. the years have gone by and although I'm not the springy high schooler I once was, I'm still very passionate about sneaker tech and performance--and a large part of that is because of you and that original kobe 8 vid. SO glad I was able to grab a pair of 8s for the first time in 10 years!

Even worse when there's a lineup, but anytime is bad.

    Never been a fan of the shoes with a highly cushioned insole.
    To me it means that my feet are going to move inside the shoe and it leads to low socks moving inside the shoe or blisters.
    I thought the Nike SB FC would be different since the insole isn’t as thick but I have the same issue with these that I had with Kobes…

    QOTD: I've been in enough therapy to realize nobody at the grocery store is doing what they're doing for the express purpose of hurting me so when it comes to any of it, I say live and let live. Peace on earth. But the self-checkout machine screaming at me because it takes me more than 0.01 seconds to slam something into the bagging area after I scan it, so the scale won't accuse me of shoplifting fruit? Especially at the Giant at 3131 Duke Street? F*** it! I can be mad at that cause it's not a person. The scales at Whole Foods are way more chill, and that's why I'm comfortable paying twice as much for bananas there.
    Maybe, maybe, just maybe, Nike is showing signs of getting it. Keep your shoes available in team colorways so that people who want to wear them for what they're intended for have a chance to do so.
    Thanks for the video. Engagement engaged. See you on the other channel soon.

Aka the 6 protro, 8 protro, and the 4s. Idk hope to try the 9 protro’s at least the lows but would love to try the highs.
