Nike Jam | Nike's Breakdancing Shoe for the Olympics

[@edento629]

Is Chris gonna do some breakdances to give us a performance review?

[@LordBass10]

i need to see a performance review of chris busting a move.

[@carlosbaez1914]

😂😂😂

[@jacobneria4270]

The people need this!

[@juanjuarez6416]

Give the people what they want!!!

[@Ab7trAct]

This is the content I came for! Please, man! 😂

[@Heavyfooted]

Nike not having a "breakman" like the Jumpman or like Union's Frontman (rip Sidney Poitier) is a miss imo.

[@ThingzNStuffJAH]

Wifeys idea for the swoosh would have been CRAZY!!!!!

[@KayoCosio]

I bought this as soon as it dropped. I am involved in an auxiliary function to the Breaking sport, but I do have a history in hip-hop dance and choreography. I think it's true to size for 2 reasons. When you're dancing, there's a high likelihood of your shoe flying off in centrifugal force generating motions. The furthest backpart of your heel needs to be recessed behind the collar padding to prevent that. I'd go so far as to say that this shoe is almost built around keeping that heel in place. So you lace them loose in the front, and tight in the back. The second reason is that you need command of your big toe in dance. Just like futsal, the perfect dance shoe will move 1:1 with your toe. That's why jazz shoes and ballet shoes are the way they are. So your foot should actually be flush on both ends of the shoe. For this build, having your articulation points line up with slices in the overlay leather as the midsole molds to your foot are what makes it comfy. Fully broken in, they are quite comfy.

[@owintwenty2]

Dope video. I will say, some of the materials provided for durability, is what is intended for. For breaking, I’ve used adidas superstar, puma suede, Reebok classic leather, Nike airmax 90, and even Converse chuck Taylor’s. Depending on the stage or style you’re in for breaking, some require more cushion for power moves while some may want supportive but flexible interior for mobility. Looking forward to supporting breaking at the Olympics this weekend :)

[@BobbyObado]

Mrs Wing's choice of cutaway reactions is exemplary and just plain fun 😂

[@patrickrenwick5217]

The look Chris gave Mrs Wing when she started back up with the “music” 😂

[@519schoolofhiphop]

As a bboy, this review hit me right in the 🖤 Jodi's Rockit sound fx were so good 😂 Appreciate that Nike actually had some bgirls and bboys get involved in the marketing process of this sneaker, too.

[@amielmamaril4456]

They were involved in the testing process as well.

[@ywmo80]

This is the best channel that reviews sneakers/shoes period. How are you guys not even past 2 million subscribers? You guys will get there sooner or later.

[@CC-il7dg]

Keep showing us what's cool Chris!

[@CT37BN]

Love the Herbie Hancock / Rockit beats there🎶🎹🎶

[@thehellezell]

1:29 great now I have Rock It stuck in my head on loop, thanks! 😂

[@MrJacinto0512]

Need the performance review on these. Better get those hips loose Chris😂

[@Turbokitten643]

Jody just running with the swoosh idea made my day.

[@sosbrigaders]

Crazy to see you still making videos nightwing. Good stuff, takes me back 👍

[@hiruys]

Happy to feed the Wear Testers algorithm.

[@damonm.]

For the Al Gore Rhythm

[@halfanhalf]

Hell yea, been waiting for this. Do a 6 step lol

[@arsenichell]

youtube algo brought me here but ive been following chris/weartesters since inception man. great to see you alive and kicking man and keep it up! a blast from the past

[@My2boyzjj]

Best reviews on YT

[@macfanguy]

The banter is so enjoyable! ❤

[@Genetics98Gaming]

I had the Futura x Nike Jam collab and I sent it back. As a Breaker (B-boy) these aren't great for Breaking, which is sad but I am happy we finally have a sneaker repping our culture. From an anatomical perspective if you notice the sole is like a slab and straight there's no curvature/arch for the inside of the foot and after a while of training the hurt your feet will feel is next level. The best sneaker for breaking in my opinion is the Huarache Runner or the Nike P-6000.

[@stevencochran8768]

Love the content i’m an old part and I still love it. I got some puma M. B. 3’sgot and loving it.

[@waihengtan]

Hands down the best sneaker review channel on KZbin!

[@loulew314]

man i remember the kicks on court site with the orange branding and the old shoe performance grading scale 😭great memories. would be interested in hearing more on the "issues" you ran into with it!

[@bruddahmanmatt]

Really appreciate Nike not releasing these through SNKRS so you know, I had a chance to get em. They were super ninja about the drop too. I had been waiting for these and they just showed up one day but what surprised me is that they only released in Women's sizing. Wifey saw me grabbing the blacks and scooped up on the browns herself. And yes they run a bit snug. Had to skip the last set of eyelets to keep em loose but they seem to be breaking in as I've been rockin em pretty regularly lately.

[@seanbucknam8163]

Another cool feature are the dots on the midsole that are supposed to help the dancer find the spots on the foot for holds by sense of touch.

[@LeizelxAllan]

The Axel Foley sound effect is hilarious! -A

[@JamesSchlanger]

Not ‘Axel F.’ It’s Herbie Hancock’s ‘Rockit’

[@qu3nt]

I first heard of Nightwing from Matt Whelty, I insta-subscribed to the channel since am kinda a wear tester myself, I have more or less 50 pairs and counting always trying to get the newest technology and best comfort.

[@MigLifeCrisis23]

Man that Nike Check hand stand idea would have been dope!

[@TLEE1977]

I've known you as Chris for years, but I still go with the NW for nostalgia. I'd be interested in a pair of the Jam being an old dancer myself that's also a sneakerhead.

[@soubido]

Just got mine as well and I'm liking them so far

[@dmapes159]

Great preview, ChrisWing.

[@justanotherbruin]

As someone who grew up breakdancing in the late 80s and 90s, it's wild seeing it make its way to the Olympics. I actually dig the brown color way. I definitely agree that they should've done more with the branding and marketing for the shoe. I had no idea about this shoe until this video, although the shoe being a women's release means it's harder for men to grab a pair.

[@TheMancunianCandidate]

ROCKIT 🎶

[@alexisguzman3950]

That Spider Man T-shirt is awesome

[@WearTesters]

Pre-order goes live August 12 at SinceApparel.com

[@karenk3458]

They actually do look cool Chris now that I’m seeing them on your feet! They look cool for beaters in the right colorway such as this pair!

[@natcheral4810]

I’m into these. Super dope Hip Hop officially has a performance sneaker

[@bran.taylor25]

Snack time! Great video as always. For so,e reason the driftwood color way doesn’t look so bad.

[@michaelhowell8412]

We wanna see the Wing Nut 😂😂

[@hanssteele3024]

And now you're a "BRAND'way to go. 💯

[@blacktopsuniverse6090]

Thank you for this one, I didn’t know which color to go with the black or the tan

[@juanjuarez6416]

Seriously one of the best looking Nike shoes out recently Little streetwear, little 90s runner, little skating Its straight 🔥

[@carlosbaez1914]

Keep the great work!!!!

[@cj7472]

Hey Chris. What yeah was your favorite year for sneaker releases? For example, I like 2018. We got the Jordan 3 black cement, Jordan 11 concord, the Union black toe Jordan 1 and the air max Sean Wotherspoon’s. I know you’re quite fond of the early 2000’s. 2025 might be the year cause they have some unreal releases coming. Love the channel.

[@Bathory_Mayhem]

I remember when people use to break dance in the nike vandal those are 🔥

[@noiisserpmii]

That collab colorway is a clean looking shoe.

[@Chocomerican]

Way to give us that brief Rockit interpolation.

[@noelpena9091]

Bro thoose sneakers look they was made for you .They look awesome 👌

[@MM-x6c]

QOTD: Cool history lesson! I think I like the idea of there being a breakdancing-specific shoe with appropriate tech for the moves they're doing, but it would have to look better than, say, an Air Max 1 or an Air Max 90, and the Jam is not that. It has Pegasus 2005 or P-6000 vibes, but those are better looking, too. Overall I'd say it's a really cool concept and it may be a good-performing shoe, but the aesthetics are a big miss. Thanks for the review! Come on, one million!

[@lowdwn169]

Got a pair of the tan ones. I like them as a casual. Wore them to work a couple days 😁

[@variandavid377]

I personally still feel they could’ve done better with the name….like the nike freeze, break, swipe, battle or cipher. Oh well. Anyway really happy you reviewed the shoe…..I’ve been super curious to see how it is. Always thought it was interesting they used the upper of the Air Max 96, which is fine. I like that design. It’s cool to see that it’s kind of like a crossbreed of a running shoe and a Vulc/ cupsole shoe…..since typically what breakers would wear. When I was a spry young lad, I would either rock bruins, blazers, shell toes or running shoes, either because of history…that’s what they rocked back in the 80s or because I liked the lightweight and flexibility runners provided. I’m surprised it’s retailing at $120 without a react drop in….. unlike some of its SB counterparts like the bruins or the ishod.

[@phaze29]

FINALLY...ITS BEEN ALONG TIME COMING! BBOYS/BGIRLS STAND UP🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️

[@1311diaz]

Not going to lie when I used to talk to my friends in high school about your channel I’d say the full NW2303 lol back in like 2014 😭

[@Sir_Xhoxolae]

I think that it would be cool if they made a signature shoe for a break dancer

[@thathomiejayr]

This is dope for real! 💯💯💯

[@levzakharov]

Gold to Jody for marketing performance 🥇

[@dofpat]

I’m liking the black pair a lot.

[@klovor]

I just hit on the gold medals on my size while watching thanks for the good luck.

[@Malleus2010]

I'd buy both colorways and wear one of each for the mixed match look 🔥

[@odellbluloutas7084]

Your show is great

[@fugitiveminded]

Wonder if they are comfortable for a casual sneaker. Like the brown colorway

[@Bliu2th]

I'm definitely going to get a pair for my friend

[@michaelsanford4891]

I don't know about these but it's not my wheelhouse so they are what they are. I remember a lot of the channel's name changes and I remember when Chris started intros with his name it was different at first but now it's the norm

[@thelastwriter4000]

Like the whole Nightwing/Chris thing got addressed. It was something I was wondering at the intro of the video.

[@russellgray1917]

For the performance review you should get Jodi to throw on a pair and bust a move! And yes, You could call it the Wing Nut....🕺💃👯‍♂️

[@YoRAHeem]

These got added to my FAV in Nike app with hopes that there was gonna make a men’s. Also hope they stay sleepers.

[@desuschryst382]

The U.S. Breakdance team should start off with Jimmy Castor, “It’s Just Begun”. That Would Be Lit 🔥🔥

[@lc4u412]

It looks clean af I love The overlays it feels 90's I'd love a pair but with a size 13 I doubt I'll find a pair in womens

[@MattDoza]

Chris is your Clark Kent. Nightwing2303 is your alter ego after you go into the phone booth to change and hoop. That is my fanfic/head canon. 🤓

[@03jecht]

Chris and Mrs. Wing, please do a dance performance review.

[@joelgarcia8923]

Graffiti on the packaging would've been dope

[@krabo83]

would love to see the new nike sb ps8 reviewed :)

[@amielmamaril4456]

The Brown/Tan colorway resembles a cardboard box. I think you can piece together from there the significance of why that goes hand in hand with breaking.

[@dallysauce4366]

The wingnut is real! I’ve seen it!

[@fungkicks83]

We need to see the Wing Nut move on KZbin!!! LOL

[@jermaine_event]

Breakin' 2: Electric Algorithm

[@donaldthomas72]

Break dancing in the Olympics. I never thought I would ever see that.

[@Unknownuserlmao]

Can u do a Jordan 1 mid velvet brown ymca review

[@starscream2]

didn't know spiderman came out in 1962....cool!

[@j.r179]

These shoes look cool and “look” comfortable, I like the brown a little more than the black.

[@Victor-it6bv]

My next hoop shoes

[@masterjohn5]

thank you

[@Mario4196248]

For the 1M subs... 😊.

[@dennistan7769]

Can I do the Cha Cha slide and the cups shuffle even better in these? 😂😂

[@snkrsandbeats]

These have potential to be great. some more colourways

[@cesarsoto5735]

The material remind me of the reebok classics

[@seanharrison3504]

Yaay for break dancing 🥳

[@jaydeeventura3131]

These are growing on me

[@slurredbird3072]

The Nike is an actual dance move ya'll

[@trembledust6819]

lol @wingnut. Thanks for the vid!

[@aqchino0891]

Lets feed that algo🎉

[@arianrivers757]

these seem kinda cool, i like the design

[@bloodshot6]

Let's see on feet B-Boying and give Jodi the GOLD Kobe's lol.

[@jasongrubb1416]

If you could customize any Jordan sneaker thru Nike ID, which model and colors would you choose?

[@cliftonbrown4051]

I had them Converse Lakers Weapon in grade school. WEaR Can I find them? Laker colors.

[@j-dizzle6264]

I still think of you as Nightwing

[@User-sj2hs]

I have got problems with my feet and normally I wear running shoes because they are comfy. So my question is are they light and comfortable? Are they very small and are they subdued?

[@j.m.5995]

An upside-down jumpman logo would of been epic

[@angelchristou9193]

SNACK TIME!!!
