This dude is cool af
For real. He should start a channel.
I got a pair of the Hender Scheme Adidas shoes and let them sit for maybe a year, worried they'd get dirty. Decided to just wear them into the ground now and enjoy them, feels way better 😌
Literally have the same experience. I bought the version of the fours. Feel like they look more like a European shoe. Really gave me the Louie Kanye collab vibe. I was going to get a cobbler to put a thin vibram sole on top of the leather sole to give more traction and make resoling a lot easier. Just never got around to it. Glad I see others sit on hundreds of dollars lol. I’ll get around to it eventually
Adding the vibram sole literally changes everything on hender scheme shoes. Whenever you get a chance do it.
More of these type of videos and consistent uploads would be awesome!
Gonna be a wild relaunch
“Don’t compromise” applies to everything in life. 🙌
Loved the vlog,
Absolutely Hilarious
😂🤣😂🤣🫶👌🏾💯
Wait, I do like the Undercover react presto ones with the reflective laces and all over splatter paint.
I've got those in my closet somewhere, I need to pull them out and start wearing them, thanks for reminding me. 👍
NGL…I bought two pairs of Overbreaks, ( diff color ways) because of YOU…I LITERALLY only use them to exercise now, because that cushion actually helped me build my calves 😀
Oh No You Wouldn't! 8:09 😅 I still remember receiving the Dunk High Fragment Beijing completely unstitched in the toe box with holes and the leather quality for a collab was 💩. Completely Poor QC i had to return to Nike.
The fragment tokyo highs are nice! Just bummed about the leather quality
Oh man, that Noci High is SO good! 😍
The undercover sneakers is my wife favorite shoes. She wears it all the time for hiking since we moved to Hawaii. 🤣
Awesome to know a woman wearing it.
Element 87 is an all time great. You just had to size up. I think it helped out I have narrow feet. But the element 85 (the non clear panel version) was the one that was milked. I was pissed that they didn't make enough of the 87. I got the olive green and red non undercover ones. They are actually one of my most versatile pairs. Maybe a re release in the future with a wider last?
Also the Julius boot you could use a shoe tree to help stretch the midfoot?
The Y-3 Noci high is a really cool and comfortable pair of boot sneakers, at least for me. I worn my pair a few days ago after a long time and I love them.
To each their own, but I actually LOVE the Nike x Undercover Overbreak shoe (I have the black pair)!
Although I guess more people prob agree with you Reg, because I have literally never seen one person wearing that silhouette in public 😂
Wearing my Blue Fragments watching this 😂. Honestly, one of my grails.
I have those nmd’s and have worn them over 100 times and they still look perfect. I crep protect them once a year and they’re still going strong.
Brooooo I love the Overbreaks. I didn’t get the pair you have but I got the other two undercover ones, and a bunch of the pairs normal colours
Still rocking my anthracite element 87s 💅🏾
I have the Qasa Boots too, in all black. Thankfully I bought them years after Qasa/Y3 hype had dissipated in the West, so I got them for cheap - so it wasn’t a financial burden.
I still like them but they’re a bit too techwear oriented for my streamlined Yohji fits and a bit too out there for my toned down vintage/skate esque look on my lazy days. Essentially it’s hard for me to build a fit around them that meets in the middle lol.
But as someone who went from sneakerhead to the muted Yohji/Rick/Julius route my once beloved sneaker collection has mostly just been sitting at my parents home.
The Undercover Overbreaks are my regret as well. I feel you man.
Thank you.
Feel you on the fit/practicality aspect of the boots. The same is for me with MMY. Many models don’t fit me because I’m in between sizes and it drives me crazy. Ended up selling them.
That's the curse of the Japanese shoe market. They really focus on that narrow fit!
@ So true! For me the width is fine, one size is too big and one too small. Can never win 😭. Thanks for the reply, much love from NYC!
I use to buy sneakers a lot, but now this reminds me of of buying a George T Stagg and preferring an Eagle rare 😂
Weird but I have all those Y-3's and in different colors....And I have the Julius lace ups.
The biggest sneakerheads tend to have the worst fashion. Ugh…I can’t believe I used to be one (not the fashion part tho 😜)
I got the all white undercovers. Kinda wish I still had em but agree 100% about em
the NMD hype got everybody, dont feel bad lol those fragment dunk highs used the wrong last so they look off visually
React element 87s were a time 😂 i only ever use them now for running and it feels so bad on foot
I bought the beijing under retail in mint condition. But now they go for half my under retail in mint/used state.
I wore my noci high today 🎉
Bro you triggered me with the first one I loved this model haha
I forgot this page existed. Is UA-cam hiding your uploads or you just been MIA?
Just wear the Outbreak till it's death, i have enjoyed mine. Another sneakers mistakes these day, never never pay for retail price!
undercover nike collabs either are 0 or 100. The daybreaks for example are a perfect shoe for me. Incredibly comfortable, sick design, multiple easy to wear colourways.
all facts
Love my Qasa highs.
I would have a panic attack if I couldn’t takeoff my boots
keep it going
I agree on the reacts....had to donate my pair away after 2 wears.....horrible uncomfortable shoe
well nike react element 85 are ok for me
Buy what you like and like what you buy. If you don't, get rid of it.
Damn I own 3 out of the first 4.
hey now, i like my undercover x nike overbreak, they're fun!
Great shoe, just sitting too much and I wear other stuff far more. ~Reggie
Give me the Nike Undercover Overbreak if it doesn't serve any purpose to you. I have never seen it before and not available in India too
Mate, I really like you and your content but with these shoes you bought I gotta say you got a screw loose. Love your jacket by the way
What kind of sneakers are these, my Travis Scott worth more than all of these, didn't even touch my PEs yet
No one cares about your sneakers you over spent for 5x the price. And if you lie and say you got them for retail no one is going to pay you for what YOU think they are “worth” after wearing them.
I think if dun wear these sneakers to it's death, is a big L.
those tweety onitsuka's didn't make the list?
i like the fragment Tokyo over Beijing
