*_Also they sell these shoes at my local mall, and they are 80% knocked down cause they literally can't give them away!!! They are plastic on top of plastic crap shoes!!!_*

Hey @RoseAnvil, apparently there was description errors on the Adidas website when Adidas first dropped AE1's and Harden Vol 8, leading many to believe it was a mix of both Lightstrike and JetBoost, but they soon fixed it and clarified that it was only pure JetBoost as their midsole cushioning setup.

[@shino8854]

Can you do one on Uniform Standard. Series one or series 5.

[@omgness1234]

Honeycomb is a common shape that strikes the balances of lightweight (less material too) and still structurally strong. I don’t think it’s a tie in with the athlete. Plus it looks cool

[@TheDanielscarroll]

I have a small feeling it's one of the better/easier shapes for manufacturing mold make and mold release as well

[@hakanscx]

@@TheDanielscarroll Its common knowledge that hexagons are the strongest shape to make any structure. Thats it

[@hakanscx]

im surprised rose anvil doesnt know this. Trust me, google it

[@TheDanielscarroll]

​​@@hakanscxthat's a bit over generalized it depends on purpose and use triangles, arches and domes are all shapes that are equally incredibly structurally sound that do a lot more than hexagons in architecture. You don't see a lot of hexagons in wall building support. A hexagon lattice has a bunch of different flexion properties when done in sheet form o and let not leave out cylindrical columns that are used in all kinds of bridge work. They don't use a lot of hexagonal bridge columns...

[@hakanscx]

@@TheDanielscarroll A plane based structure is obviously what the discussion is about.... and arches and domes are not shapes.... hexagons are more structurally sound and efficient in terms of material distribution in relation to strength than triangles when packed together on a plane

[@nahomtek]

Unfortunately it still says: "The combined BOOST and Lightstrike midsole is ultra-lightweight and adds outstanding energy return to your most explosive moves." in the description on the Adidas site.

[@AsianEyes007]

The cushioning is actually full length Jet Boost

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

The Ae 1 is actually the most breathable basketball shoe on the market right now so it may have thick material but the honeycomb with mesh behind it makes up for that. Allowing tons of air to come thru the shoe as u walk or run. The slipping u were experiencing wasn't due to the shoe it was due to having a dirty dusty court. Cause every other ball player I've seen review these say they have some of the best traction on the market. I mean AE plays in these, and he has one of the most aggressive performances. So, he is constantly cutting up and he has no issue with grip or traction. Now I did see people who wore these for outside or on dirty courts have issue but. That's with a lot of basketball shoes as well that are mainly meant for indoor use.

[@nietak9623]

So why smoke didn't came through?

[@bbmikej]

It's because hexagons are the bestagons

[@Hanitcal69]

[@CarvachosNachos]

And in the “center cut score”

[@jonathanandrade176]

Yeah I've noticed that in a couple other vids too.

[@BUSSINJUSTIN10M]

Their shitty Editor is slacking bro.

[@birdytiger]

They're definitely among the better looking bb shoes for daily wear.

[@misteral9045]

I appreciate that Rose Anvil has the grace to change the host during a new product ad campaign. The more of these videos i watch, the more amazed I become with what can be done with foam and other synthetic materials. Yeah they wear out quickly if you wear them all the time for everything, but they can really perform for a few hours in the gym or on the court. I need to exercise more often.

[@ENO2169]

i actually think these have the best traction this year by a lot, i play at LA Fitness where i litereally only buy shoes with top tier traction otherwise i can't actually play and these in dust are incredible, far better traction than the Freak 5, the bron 20's , the sabrina 1's, harden 7's etc

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

yea I agree, I think the reason they said it was slipping was because the court they were testing on. Had a ton of dust and dirt on it but. If AE is using these and he doesn't have issues with slipping or rolling ankles, then they have plenty of grip. Also seen plenty of ball player KZbin channels review these and say the same thing and say it has the best traction they've had since kobes, lebrons.

[@sergio.kuabara_entertainment]

Well... Here in Brazil, unfortunately, these shoes costs around $275...

[@Alex_Coolen]

Sick review. More trail running shoes would be cool to see

[@silvermediastudio]

Have you reviewed a boot from Capitan? Looking through the archive and don't see one but could have missed it. Specially the Nashville rough-out, currently $295 with a 10% discount for new customers and free shipping.

[@moggol-vj9oj]

Not related to this video, I'm just wondering why an channel focussed on shoes doesn't mention Meindl. One of the best (if not, the best) hiking boots ever.

[@grosudarius2751]

I love how at the start it says toe tickler 😂

[@starkparker16]

They're the bestagons

[@JaySee5]

You needed to rip or cut the outsole from the midsole to get a better look at the shank and see if the light strike is encapsulating the boost foam. The boost foam is obviously covered, not showing on the midsole sidewalls.

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

I’m more of a Nike guy but Adidas has been on fire regardless on your opinion of them. I like the futuristic vibe they have going e and every hooper I’ve spoken to raves about them. The Harden 7 in particular was everywhere.

[@ajblackstealth8553]

That's obviously solid design! Slightly heavier than others, but very comfortable! Really hope AE2 will be better sneaker..

[@BGRUBBIN]

most likely because a honeycomb adds structure without adding much weight.

[@michaeladam3792]

Can you do a review on “Patron” moc toe boots vs cabelas and like diehard’s “moc toe” like a 100-150$ moc toe review battle?

[@flecjl]

Hexagon are the bestagons. No other reason needed.

[@HabbsTek]

Traction on mine are the best and haven't had to wipe once with the AE 1 All Star.

[@huyharth]

For gits and shiggles I would glue the two halves back together and see how long they can last through stylin’ & ballin’

[@MaskedBreakdown]

Please do the "kingGee Comfortmax Work Boot" please !

[@denessos4181]

As far as I know lightstrike is actually an updated boost so they are hard to distinguish

[@KillaZamii]

Honeycomb pattern is probably also a reference to the new “airless basketball” from Wilson.

[@shale3768]

Would love to see the New Balance Two Ways or Kawhis.

[@flipster7746]

I need these because love the boost and my yeezys 350 for years. No Air...no BS...just good shoes

[@FlyingPenguin23]

you should do the Way of Wade 10!👍

[@tre7198]

Melvin is off base.. the traction is phenomenal on clean and dirty courts as compared to other top of the line basketball shoes I wear under the same conditions. IMO top 3 all time playing shoe.

[@nahomtek]

Unfortunately it still says: "The combined BOOST and Lightstrike midsole is ultra-lightweight and adds outstanding energy return to your most explosive moves." in the description on the Adidas site.

[@bobotmeister]

Crazy price for a boost shoe, really makes it look like that it may be a yeezy design from that point.

[@Bennygk-yw2fx]

Maybe Try different brand like asics and new balance

[@marineboy0055]

cousin Nguyen did a great job with dem shoes

[@isaac297]

They remind me of the Yeezy 700 mnvn lace less analog. Big time

Can you cut a pair of the Adidas that look like the Cybertruck? I knew someone in middle school with them…and only him.

yall think this guy talkin abt the Crazy 1 ?!?!

If the sidewall is white or transparent TPU it will turn yellow in Sun

[@selderane]

I love AE1 so much! Have five pairs. Lol

[@noahscarbrough3224]

I love the look of these, but the aggressive toebox taper and hard upper material made for a horrible fit in my case.

[@saucyg6371]

Yall need someone to start doing cleats of all sports. Futbol, football, baseball, etc.

[@aurtisanminer2827]

13 mm drop is ridiculous.

[@marioluisbonoan6175]

Shoes worn by the players and shoes release to the public are two different shoes. The players gets better cushion and better traction.

I would suggest anyone reading this just to buy one pair and store it in their basement or whatever for 15-20 years. Keep it sealed fresh as fuck. We’ll see what type of money that will be worth.

[@munterdoo]

That's strange bro cuz every other reviewer says the AE1 is the most grippy shoes that they've ever worn in their life so yeah I don't know about your dude over there.. one against many not good odds

Weird these have the best traction in my current line up

[@juleal12]

Dead wrong about the grip. Actually injured my hip in that my foot didn’t pivot on the forefoot but stuck causing my hip to grind

[@darrensmith5997]

That shank is straight out of a Yeezy shoe. I have a feeling this shoe is actually a slightly modified unused Yeezy design.

[@montezuma4353]

A serious mistake was not having those hexagonal openings as breathable vents and instead unfortunately was just for structure and aesthetics.

[@Victor-Vargas]

Hey brother we want to see you do more cowboy boots from good companies that are accessibile like Black Jack, or Rios of Mercedes, and Hondo. or even a newly revived brand like Hyer who claims to have invented the cowboy boot. Even Rios of Mercedes started out in the 1800's making Spanish cavalry boots. Lots of wild history behind some of these cowboy boot brands

[@seymour2113]

Day 66 of asking you to make Monkey Boots with Nick's

Cannot currently try them out, because Adidas apparently cannot produce for the public😊 only Anthony has his own shoes

[@TheDragorin]

nah nah nah, its not "just a $120 shoe." its a hundred and twenty fucking dollars. shitty gluing is for like $60 shoes.

[@JerichoTheCity]

Most sneakers are built and priced this way, why do you make it seem like this is inconceivable?

[@TheDragorin]

@@JerichoTheCity just because you like wasting money doesnt mean most sneakers are $120. that is just far from reality. while you're accidentally correct that most shoes are built like that, it should not be the case for shoes that cost more than 4x most peoples hourly pay.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

you do realize most Nike basketball shoes, NB , Asics, adidas, Converse, and etc all use glue for their basketball shoes and when it comes to price these are the cheapest performance basketball shoes on the market that uses full length of boot. If u compare that to Nikes Kobes, LeBron's they are $80-100 dollars cheaper than competition that's why they say its only $120 because that's pretty cheap compared to plenty of other brands.

[@tuliosouzaa]

at this point adidas is just ripping off kanyes design language
