I love the fact that John is having fun with his life even though it seems busy, He still pushes through life to sk8 and have fun! :)

[@A-LittleMoreContext]

You know my favourite part about this video? The fact you were smiling even as you were messing up attempts at tricks. I feel like it's been a while since you've smiled and looked like you were having fun even through the fails and that made me happy to see. I'm glad you had a good session and can't wait to see your next! :)

[@looketheduke]

screw the tunes guys lets just listen to john skate

[@KeithSkates]

I agree, sometimes the music is distracting.

[@OAEditing]

Love

[@90snewz]

I had this playing while I was showering, car and just now WATCHED the full vid. This comment is it. Literally ASMR

[@mexicanskater]

i liked the no music type of vid, your skating alone is entertaining ‼️‼️ (i enjoy both style of vids tho )

[@lvparm]

I bought a few pairs of straye shoes years ago and they always did me well. I miss my lavender pair! The first thing to go was the sole from “too much” pushing

[@NoHeelflips]

Literally the best skate video ive watched. I was skating earlier and thought of you and was like "I should see how he's doing" glad to see you are still killing it!

[@storyisking5598]

First upload notification I've gotten for your channel in like a year 😅 glad to see you're still doing ya thang good sir!

[@crashdoll91]

Loved the energy in this video 🔥

[@Holdycorgy]

I use to leaf blow and clean up trash/sweep the fountain at courthouse everyday 😢 I had hip surgery a month ago and haven’t been able to. Nice session John let’s skate when I’m back. I’m usually at courthouse every single day 😅

[@fabriciofernandes891]

This video was amazing! You always inspire me to go skate and learn more tricks, John! Keep killin it!

[@steelokey]

Yes a new John Hill upload 🎉🛹🌅

[@Quay1586]

Nose wheelie Nollie tre in the vlog?! Insane!

[@ace4evr]

Dude those tricks were VERY solid! No music, we skatin out here haha. Also, you aint do it, so Ill do it for you... Take care, Progress daily, and keep killing it That'll be $5.00

[@Yanks73196]

Should compare bulky vs thin skate shoes next.

[@chilledm.136]

What's your opinion?

[@wesleysfal3342]

Your level of skateboarding is an absurd, pure inspiration.

[@lopwidth7343]

hi tops used to be THE skate shoe in the 80s and early 90s. Protection for rolls and ankles and then they became padded for even more protection. The skinny low tops shift is really weird to me. I just bought some hi tops too from Etnies. They are great!

[@jrmne6198]

Love the endorsement for high tops. I’m currently rehabbing an ankle sprain, so I’ve been thinking of making the switch. Would’ve loved to hear more of a comparison between these and low tops. But still a solid video and session!! 👏🏽👏🏽.

[@skatedad9794]

Super good. Your trick lists are always bonkers. If I could just land one of those in my lifetime.... I guess you have a few years experience on me though. Keep up the great videos!

[@caseysmith544]

A tip I have seen is people using some more floppy high top shoes with an upper made of a thin leather/synthetic leather in a Converse like shoe so they get protection but have mobility.

[@NatesSliceofSkateboarding]

Louie Lopez Converse Midtops are amazing. They feel so natural right away and all around perfect shoe for me. Going to be buying it non stop till I cant.

[@HobbyDrop]

I like the little montage of the five tricks! That was cool!

[@_lenryhopez]

Definitely love this raw audio type of filming better than the music

[@sevuslevy6552]

you have some of cleanest heel-flips I've seen man

[@jakecallahan7574]

looks like you had a great court house sesh! been lovin the videos recently this felt like a classic John skate vlog

[@KnifesIOS]

Forgot this was a shoe review

[@AlcindorProductions]

With Straye’s I suggest sizing up to give your pinky toe some room, but they lasst

[@respectanimals2]

Excellent video, great skating and cool shoes , I really enjoyed it, peace ✌️

[@Shoedenmark]

I sprained my right ankle twice in the span of one month wearing the grant taylor Nikes I’m convinced it’s because of the shoes. I’m going to try and get high tops to see if they make a difference.

[@Ernie_Creates]

This was a good video John thank you for uploading!

[@E-H3R0]

Dude I’ve been watching you since middle school lol. Not religiously and I blame my adhd, apologies. But. BUT. BUT!! Finding one was like a gem back in the day when I had a bad day at school (a lot of em) and just went skating lol

[@CiceroMonteiro]

The precision of this man is amazing

[@ShadowTheStrayCat]

I like certain things about both, but overall gotta give it to low tops (especially slip ons)

[@Dannibear12]

the nollie tre was soooo clean

[@OAEditing]

Great video king❤️ half cab heel was super dreamy

[@nooboard]

13:49 no public transport in LA? 😀 The thing I rly like with skateboarding in my country is: Just use the train, bus, subway, what ever is available for the longer distance and use the skateboard for the short and in between. So much fast often than car. In german cities so far my experience in speed is: Skateboard is often faster than bike, bike is always faster than car.

[@81casperflip]

The Vans EXP and Walker 2s were the best shoes I've ever had basically the same thing. But I could never do hi tops

[@LifeOfTheOwl]

You should give Straye Logan Puffs and ES Accel a chance. Those are two of my favorite shoes

[@dinisk8]

You could try searching some dc shoes iv had some and they were pretty comfortable

[@BeardsBaconTech]

How comfortable are those low top shoes for just every day where I wear the vans slip on

[@crispy-k]

High or low doesn't really matter if you ask me. It's the fit, and personal feeling. Some like them large and loose or large and tight. Yes i'm still talking about shoes.

[@liampoore2038]

Just saw your video on ceramic bearings, are you still riding the same pair?

[@John_Lee_]

Haven't been able to wear low tops for 10 years now. My ankles are thrashed. P.S. if you don't tie high tops to the top, there's really no point

[@RiseUpFool]

Still has the protection with the mobility if you don’t lock it down wym

[@John_Lee_]

@@RiseUpFool there's no extra stability if your ankle is rocking around. What protection are you referring to? The grip tape?

[@ReeWebster]

Slight side note: I remember the D3s got so soft, like slippers, instead of tweaking ur ankle the shoe would just twist around the foot; saved many torn ligaments did those feet pillows 🤣

[@dirtyxhippynerd8038]

Does grip tape rip grip tape? If not I was thinking you could cover the contact points of the shoe with grip tape to prevent or at least significantly reduce wear and tear

[@gypsonny2]

Nike SB Ruckus II High was the best pair I ever had. You cant find them anywhere

[@ehj.skaterchris]

Emerica slip ons are my go to! Wear them only, best overall shoes in my eyes! And jamie isnt on straye anymore. Angel (supra, krew, etc) is the company owner!

[@DanielM-240s]

If you want a shoes that skates like a slip on but the height of a high top you should try the globe dover by Austyn Gillette. Those shoes are the best specially if you like to skate slip on shoes.

[@ChrisThul487]

Keep killin it!

[@typerightseesight]

I havn't wore a hightop since ipath.

[@ReadySetSkateFilms]

Have you tried the Numeric 440 V2 Synthetic? Best vegan skate shoe I have ever tried

[@fr-ik3749]

Straye shoes is not jamie Thomas brand, jamie’s new brand shoes is not out yet (called warsaw)

[@tudyopera]

Hi dude I would like to see you skate the andy anderson shoes you might like them

[@28kcskate]

I love high top shoes because of ankle support

[@navonebelcher6692]

Challenge yourself to improve is the name of the game😊

[@God_Shen]

High tops will make heelflips x5 harder in my experience

[@lawofthedingle]

John hill on emerica 👀

[@isaiahblackbeard]

Strayes have been around for a minute

[@kenny_kaos]

Vern Laird?

[@tigrider]

[@jacoblott4002]

[@LeonPaxton]

No music actually worked well in this! 👌🏼

[@ferduz505]

eyyy that's the Mid 90's location

[@himynameisbrianw]

TBH when you reach Johns level of skating, shoes barely matter, I remember manz skated yeezys back in the day with braile

[@navonebelcher6692]

Wait is he in Santa Monica 😢😢

[@isaacangelsvlogs9379]

Hell yeahhhh good ass seshhh 🤘🔥

[@DeviantSkateboards.]

[@later_skateboards]

[@dylansousa5571]

Good video

[@joelrodriguez-kh5vn]

Top Shoes 100%

[@loudman651]

nike a actual skate brand too big dawg

[@magnumxlpi]

Those are mids not high tops lol

[@SkaterPoopyPants]

I don't really understand your or anyone elses view on so called "vegan" shoes not sure exactly how completely synthetic materials that will take thousands of years to decompose compared to real leather/suede which wouldn't and would be extremely less harmful to planet you know that little thing everything talks about mircoplastics you contribute to that when buying crap like vegan stuff but whatever illusion you tell yourself to make you feel better xD

[@jamessssssssss1]

first

[@BJAntonio46]

You support Kyro and Scientology, I'm out

[@realcooltimes]
