Great video !! Lolol I hope you can do some hytest boots there’s allot of us shop workers that have to wear these boots would love to see them cut in half to see why we pay 100s of dollars for these type of boots
@@joeybaseball7352 They are great as dailies, they keep their silhouette and finish for more than a years daily wear, until the sole wear out. I've owned a few pairs and it's not for the flex, it's because they look so damn good for so long.
.... If you want a work shoe yeah.. A metal shank is extremely uncomfortable for walking. Minimal shoes are best. A sock dipped in rubber is better than 99% of shoes on the market Don't take my word for it Go run barefoot somewhere safe like a soccer field
I love how genuine you are. Please don’t stop checking and replying to comments. It really shows that you care about your viewers when you like and reply to comments :)
Please (please) review some women’s shoes! I’m so tired of having to explain to male friends that women’s shoes wear out so much more quickly. I’d also love to see some recommendations of high quality but attractive women’s shoes since I’ve learned about so many awesome brands from your channel and they make up most of my wishlist for shoes.
Rose Anvil Plz no, it is definite, that adidas are same shit leather as nike. There are so many brands that pretend to be “luxury”, that we cant just waste another saturday for superstar.
I’d really love you to do a Crown Northampton teardown since they’re handcrafted to order. I’d like to know if they represent good value compared to shoes like Common Projects.
I thought what exactly you got at basic changed with time. At least with Air Force, there wasn't an official military issue boot just requirements for what the boot needed to be. When I went through (2008), they happened to have a ton of excess flight deck rated boots so were giving those out and people that went through a few months later got different boots.
I’m such a big fan of this channel, it’s been so fun to see what shoes are made of and what’s behind the shoes I wear. Hope you enjoy your new place man 👍
Yo, I just noticed you've never done a set of Danskos. Given how many nurses and chefs I've seen wearing them, I'd really love to know what makes them so popular. Recommendation, I guess!
Would love to see you cut some weightlifting shoes in half, you could compare older wooden soled ones like my Do-Wins to newer plastic ones like Nike or Reebok.
I mean, to be fair, it allows them to make a much higher quality fake at much better prices than the original so he's kind of helping the consumers as well.
"bootleg" makers don't need his help. half the time the "real" fakes are just the same exact item but unauthorized production. literally. if the order is for 1000 units, the guys will just make another 1000 on the side and sell them illicitly. Obviously not in this case, as it's an Italian shoe being knocked off in East Asia, but for many items thats exactly how it works.
Maybe the fake is smaller because it uses Chinese sizes which are about a full size smaller than Italian size for example I wear 45 Italian or Chinese 46
the fake is probably smaller because it’s closer to true size ha. common projects are notoriously narrow and long. i fit perfectly into my pair sz 40, but i am a true to size 41.
I just wanted to say that now that so much consumerism is based in fast fashion, it is so refreshing to see someone who values high quality and durable goods. I am so inspired.
Hi Rose. Please tear down some Ecco shoes (they are of the high quality and very comfy) preferably Soft 8, as one of the best selling model in their casual line up. Many thanks
You should check out some different alternatives to the Redwing Iron Ranger! Things like the Chippewa Service boot, Thorogood Beloit/Dodgeville and Wolverine 1000 Mile. People are always hotly contesting these so it'd be really nice to see a full dissection and comparison series so we can get an idea of what each is like.
That was a great review. I hope your video stays up and is not banned by UA-cam like the Dutch Bushcraft Boys (DBK) video. They reviewed a FAKE Falkniven knife and showed it was inferior junk. Then, some chinese troll complained and UA-cam banned their video... censorship, anybody?
The laborers actually making real common project shoes make the same amount of money as the laborers making the knock offs. I don't feel bad about buying knock offs. If employers compensated the ones actually making their products properly, that would be different.
For $50? These are amazing, yes they might not be spot on, but who cares! The regular common projects have crappy quality, I had 2 pairs that had to be sent back because the tincture started flaking from the leather, so these seem great
I'd love to see sneakers (and dress shoes) from Church's etc teared apart. They might not be well known sneaker brands but they are well known for their mens formal footwear. ps good luck with the move :)
Church is now like a fashion forward brand in terms of quality. It's a lot worse than it was before ever since prada acquired the company. And in terms of prices, a lot of many other brands offer alot better shoe in terms of construction and quality and a lot cheaper like meermin, carmina, etc.
@@tranthaichau1970 I think a big advantage that you get with church's is that you can order their shoes in custom sizes (a lot of shoes dont fit me properly). Another drawback is that Church's has a store close to me while those alternatives you gave don't. PS I agree that they've gone downhill but they still seem to be of quite good qualtiy imo.
Are they PlayerShoes batch of Common Projects? I have them for 1+ year and nothing you talking about in this video about happened to them (they were 50$ + shipping).
Could you get a high quality Replica of the Shattered backboard Jordan’s you did? A lot of people say they’re essentially the same shoe since it’s all china made.
Please do some more high end fakes. I’ve seen a pair of fake Gucci ace that cost $150 and they’re really close to the real one,even when you compare them side by side it’s still hard to tell.
New Rock Boots! I love this series! Would be funny to find a knock off set that are better made than a branded. Had that with school shoes back in the 90s XD
I second the new rocks, I've got my eye on a pair of the new platform trainers they are doing but it's an eye watering around of money if they would just fall apart
Yesssss I've mentioned them too, I have 3 pairs and yes for the money they better be well made! :) Feel-wise they seem very well made, but I've not taken them apart :D
Would REALLY love to see you cut up a pair of basic supply minimal white sneaker from the primo collection I think its called...in hand the leather seems so buttery...keep up the great work bro...
The thing that bugs me the most about these fakes is that you could buy legit sneakers for that price. You easily get a pair of Stan Smiths for this price or less which are well appreciated and classy.
don't know if you've thought about it or tried to get a pair, but I think it would be cool for you to cut in half a pair of thursday boots. They are supposed to be one of the best under $200 pair of leather boots. The captains are their flagship but you could also do the presidents or chelsea's. Love the videos though.
Love your content mate! I wonder if you can get your hands on a pair from Crown Northampton? Picked up two pairs, one white and one black of their sneakers, excellent quality and feels great with my wide foot, would be interested in seeing your review and thoughts.
If you love them, why bother caring what others think? I loved my Common Project sneakers back in the day but I also knew that I was paying a lot for the brand.
FYI: another way I heard to spot fakes is how far the heel of the sole sticks out from the shoe. If you look at 1:13 you can see the heel of the fakes sticks out slightly pass the shoe compared to real ones.
Would the larger grain also contribute to the ease of tearing, given how thin it is also? Enjoy the videos, man. No interest in fashion shoes but it's a nice chill video and still pretty interesting!
Fake Jordans are really popular. I would like to see if you could justify why would someone pay $100 more to buy the Jordan shoe in the US when you can buy them straight from China where they are made.
I wear western boots I would like to see you cut up some Lucchese goat skin or exotic boots to see if they're worth the price difference between those and Justin and Ariat boots
@@Syahidsahoarder 99.9% of people don't care about how ethical the manufacturing process is. What they want is a product that fits one of 3 criteria - low price, high quality, or good price/quality ratio. Having enough money to care about ethics is a luxury at best.

It's kinda funny to me that the knockoff has a metal shank, that almost makes instantly better than most retail store shoes sold around here.
.... If you want a work shoe yeah..
A metal shank is extremely uncomfortable for walking.
Minimal shoes are best.
A sock dipped in rubber is better than 99% of shoes on the market

Nah, I really don't want a shank in a sneaker. That doesn't make sense.
What does a metal shank do in a flat sneaker though?
Metal shank is only better for basketball shoes

Thanks! I’m excited to for the move but also forgot how much crap I’ve accumulated over the last few years ha ha
Would be interesting to test the compound of the outsoles. Big cost savings can be made in this area by using cheaper rubber mixtures
big savings over what? the total materials cost in the original shoe is like maybe $25. it's not some special material that costs a lot of money.
Please do Hender Scheme! Those are gonna be insane!
It's like destroying art... I want a pair very badly.
Congrats on the move man! Keep growing! I don't know why but happy to see your success like it is mine.

huh i thought china just used european sizes. i havent been back in china for like 6 years so i dont remember much
Richard Zhang that’s a common misconception and a big source of confusion when people are buying shoes direct from Chinese factories.

How about cutting in half the Air Jordan Dior to see and justify the retail price tag of $2000? If possible.
what justifies the retail is that little, no, massive brand labelling all over the shoe?

jordans have always had shit quality leather compared to anything else on the channel
some arent een all leather
Yea they’re all crappy leather
I wanna see a series comparing real and replica shoes!
If these weren’t fakes, they‘d actually be decent shoes for 50$.
I want a pair of those knock offs
Both pair look like dollar store shoes.
Ha ha they look like prison shoes to me but I kind of like it. I’m more of a black shoe fan to be honest
I'm also not impressed at all by these trainers. I prefer boots anyway...
Shoutout to repfammm
Gucci ace next pls
Where’d you get the fakes? Asking for a friend
For 50 bucks 🤷♂️ that just confirms for me that common projects are WAYYYYYY over priced or can actually be made for nothing
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do some dress casual kind of stuff, maybe some mid range chelsea boots or something along those lines
What is funny to me....is that at 0:19 and 10:22 of the video... the fake Commons projects look sleeker in my view ;)
Greats Royale please!
I'm the only person who when he cutted the shoes was like: TAKE OFF THE LACES
Love your videos
No, you are not. Literraly everybody here told it already.
Thanks for sharing, best clip to tell CP real or fake
The sizing different might be due to the fact that they copied the mold of the female version?
Any links for where i could buy these from
Wish you would do high end dress shoes!
I will do them eventually probably another series similar to the white sneaker series
Rose Anvil looking forward to it! Thanks for the reply.
You can tell by the sizing and possibly the leather smell.

The Ariat Two24 Jack's were the nicest of the "white sneaker series" in my opinion... (even though I recommend the Two24 Jack's in tan not white)
The thing that bugs me the most about these fakes is that you could buy legit sneakers for that price. You easily get a pair of Stan Smiths for this price or less which are well appreciated and classy.
These are higher quality than Stan Smiths (I have both)
You should test fake Nike like the jordan x Travis Scott x fragment
