NEXT LEVEL INTRO I'll admit I was nervous putting these shoes in your hands, consider the fashion icon that you are. I knew this would be a brutally honest review. I was not disappointed We'll hopefully push a firmware update to improve Cinebench scores in the next week or so Ground Orthogonal Locomotion Distance benchmarks might need some more testing examples But overall I can't get over the sandal pitch. Linus. I put my SOLE into the design of this sneaker/sandal. I swear with the elastic laces they're hot sockable 😅

[@daylen577]

To be fair, not every video has to be a big win in views or revenue, dbrand sponsoring this video more than made up for any loss in watchtime

[@88porpoise]

​@@daylen577 they don't have to be a huge win, but a big flop is certainly problematic. For revenue on that video and the broader impact on KZbin recommendations and future views. A couple duds can certainly harm a business. And sponsor rates will be heavily impact by views. A series of poorly viewers videos likely will put a dent in that revenue. Not saying this video was likely to be problematic, but a flop or two is a significant thing for LTT.

[@Arsonist00]

This is honestly a much better April fools video than the actual one 😂

[@TheAcdczboy97]

Probably one of the best videos you guys have put out in a while. Love it lmao

[@Luke_P]

"without bringing home half a pound of Unrefined silicon" is my absolute favourite line from LTT ever

[@dominicslone4782]

*silicon haha and yes I laughed at that line

[@TotalxTroll25k]

I was reading through comments while the video was playing and he said this quote at the exact same time I was reading this comment

[@ettaz]

Mine is definitely "11 or more toes" and it's even better without context

[@sathos]

Bringing home half a pound of unrefined silicone sounds like “special room service” at a hotel in Amsterdam 😂

[@Lizlodude]

Ok I was going to correct the silicone v silicon issue, but actually that's fine. A silicone beach would be... a thing. (Though I guess arguably that's what those little soft sloped entries at water parks are, so maybe not that weird)

[@BadMax02_VR]

This video feels like a April fools video with less budget... and i love it 😂

[@genderender]

What do you mean, they went and tested marque's shoes in the lab. That's extremely expensive

[@FarhanSyafiqFadhillah]

Yeah, still less expensive than building potato farm industry But I agree, it's still very expensive because of the lab 👍

[@mrdan2898]

It isn't April fools, Linus is addicted to sandals.
