was skating Republic plaza in my hometown Paris last saturday morning. Brian Anderson, Leo baker and Korahn Gayle showed up, all skating this shoe. I thought they were Vans for a sec. Definitely looking good. I guess they're filming to promote this shoe. Korahn killed it, amazing skater. cheers from France, keep it up🤜

[@DavidBluetile]

Oh wow!! I’m so jealous. BA is one of my favs. That broken gonz board on the wall behind me was his

[@user-hs1de6ce2u]

LOVE ❤ ❤❤this shoe since i seen it, bought it and WEAR IT AND THEY FITS LIKE MADE FOR ME...🎉 SOOO COMFORTABLE in ANYWAY❤❤❤Thank You❤❤❤❤❤ Alexa from Trier/ Germany😉🤩

[@user-hs1de6ce2u]

...like it, but i'm no skater😅

[@ekaram32]

As soon as you said they are like a more tech Half-Cab I immediately was like they look like a new Omar shoe and then you said it 😂 great minds think alike, love to check these out in hand and maybe grab a pair, still waiting for Ishod 2s to come out. That Jordan 1 last is an interesting piece I never knew about.

[@AaronFelizmenio]

Got the orange/black colorway and I am super happy with it. Can't wait to skate them. They're true to size!

[@DavidBluetile]

Perfect! Thanks for the useful feedback 💙

[@ordinerii]

The first thing I said was how much they reminded me of the Omar’s!! I miss my Dino jr pair. Final product came out solid, the Leo monogram was a nice touch!

[@TuxMask8]

Had my own brown pair for about a week and a half, they really nice, comfort is crazy, I can see the fit being tight/snug but my foot is narrow so tts works good for me on SB product. My only nitpick is something so minor and its the ankle is like a blazer (with material thickness/thinness if that makes any sense) where i have to unlace it quite a bit for me to put it on when i normally like my mid/high tops to be like slip ons with the way i lace them up Overall still like em alot, was at Pawn's FBF and got to see some of the upcoming colorways

[@dylives7667]

Skateshops be like: Release schedule, what's that?

[@SchwappSchwopp]

Are they the same height?

[@ajaxxx16]

Dude definitely reminds of the Omar too!. Especially when they slimed down the Omar and put lunar in it.

[@Jacorpes]

I love how little techie stuff and excessive swooshes there are, just a simple bold silhouette. I think it’s the first SB shoe I like the look of that’s not a Blazer or Dunk.

[@jaybird634]

These shoes are buttery ! Ty for the review Dave . Support your local ! God bless and peace .

[@DavidBluetile]

thank you! I cant wait to maybe get some promo on these so I can try em out.

[@scottsvintagefire]

Oh boy them brown joints are HARD ❤

[@El3ctroclash]

Looks great. Kinda reminds me of the ACG Mowabb.😮

[@Tennesseemontana]

Man the leaked photos looked so bad, but this color way irl looks seriously so good. One of Nike SBs better looking models honestly

[@Eddiewinkicks]

On damn these are actually pretty rad!

[@DavidBluetile]

Yeah!! I’m surprised how much I like them

[@hou5eheadjason]

it kinda look like its inspired from a jordan high a little mix with the new balance 480

[@ianturnbow7011]

Love the concept of mashing up the Half Cab and Omar, but hate to hear yet another new Nike SB model is so narrow.

[@BetoWehrleGomide]

These are fuego 🔥

[@skateorlie]

Very interested in how this feels compared to the NB 440 highs. That shoe has become a solid top 5 all time for me. Also - my sister just had a kid today so that was a funny lil coincidence when you mentioned not mentioning making babies. lol

[@Desmond1of1]

Cmon bro u an old schooler. These are definitely inspired by the Airwalk Enigma..

[@DavidBluetile]

Haha I’ve heard that a few times now. I guess I see it.

[@colinschafer5453]

Yeaaaa, I’ma need a pair of these, I think.

[@crownedinterror9]

They're cool but I don't love the brown...The black and white version is def the one to get. SB also used to have the "hyperfeel" line, those were all sick and I guess they turned those into the react?

[@Quan-ls3ku]

These look great

[@DavidBluetile]

For sure!

[@flxd_]

Interesting fact with the AJ1 last 🤔

[@foodexpert5240]

Very nice video on this nice shoe. Are they true to size?

[@DavidBluetile]

I was never able to try these on because we didn’t get my size. They’re built on the aj1 last and if I remember correctly Irving thought they fit pretty true to size

[@DAVAND23]

So they're like a Jordan 1 with a react insole? I love the Jordan 1 fit.

[@DavidBluetile]

That’s what they say. I have not been able to try it on to confirm if it fits like a Jordan 1. I’m sure it’ll fit different because of the construction and the react but they did build it on the same last

[@JToDoap]

These are really nice

[@captainhook190]

I can see why people would buy this but i'd honestly never wear them or skate them. im gonna pass on these stick with my sb dunk lows

[@spencebjj]

David, do you know any details of the Albino and Preto SB drop?

[@bryanadamsVGC]

Im getting omar salazar vibes on these

[@skankwave5245]

It is almost the same shoe lmao. Except 2nd Salazar looked cooler than these

[@nsolis415]

Will React work better than Lunar as the cushion setup for a skate shoe?

[@ByTheGrave]

If Nike dropped this as a basic model with no pro name behind it I reckon people would clown on it. Just has a weird shape to it? But I’m sure it skates great. And I do like that more cozy looking mid collar that the Prod 5 mids had

[@DavidBluetile]

I think this looks better than 98% of all p-rods. Woooo he made some dogs. A few gems though

[@ByTheGrave]

@@DavidBluetileoh for sure there’s been a few questionable pairs lol loved the 5’s with the Lunerlon sole

[@ByTheGrave]

@@DavidBluetileWelp 6 months later the shoes have grown on me lmao Just grabbed a black and white pair & they fit great, skate great and actually cater to my wide feet No more toe crushing 🫡

[@DavidBluetile]

@@ByTheGrave haha that happens. your eyes gotta get used to seeing things sometimes. I heard it fits wider. I still haven't skated this shoe.

[@K4DETHB]

No offense (and honestly its a compliment) you look like Rick and Negan from the walking dead in the same body

[@DavidBluetile]

Hahaha that is so funny

[@amdg01007]

Why are they always too narrow?

[@DavidBluetile]

Feet are so different. I’m anxious to try a pair so hopefully we get some promo. I didn’t order enough. They may fit me better than they fit Irving but that said he really does like them. Def not a wide shoe

[@amdg01007]

@@DavidBluetile there aren’t any wide shoes but dunks and still not wide enough. Experienced skaters have ballet feet. Nike should make shoes for us.

[@amdg01007]

@@DavidBluetile all feet are different but most advanced skaters have wide feet, while most posers don’t.

[@amdg01007]

@@DavidBluetile it’s not a half cab if it’s not wide.

[@gabanlange9793]

Put an Airwalk logo on the side instead of the swoosh.. 😀

[@natevart4156]

These shoes are cheap and have good style, I don’t skate. Should I not buy these bc I don’t want to if they are only intended for skaters

[@DavidBluetile]

They’re marketed more broadly than just skateboarding.

[@natevart4156]

@@DavidBluetile that’s cool! I would buy them but they don’t even have size 11 in stock anymore. I didn’t even realize. Thanks tho 👍🏻

[@DavidBluetile]

Yeah we’re out of larger sizes but I’m sure somebody has em. Have you tried black sheep?

[@BLVCKSEA]

So Yuto just got a dunk color way and Leo gets a signature shoe? I feel like it should have went the other way around....Yuto has literally won every major contest in the past couple of years, not too mention securing a Gold Medal in the friggin Olympics..on top of that dropping banging parts for Nike, April, Venture and Spitfire.. What has Leo done lately? She/he drops a part every couple of years? She dropped out of competing in the Olympics bc of her gender identity..c'mon Nike..give credit to the ones who truly deserve it...

[@DavidBluetile]

Yuto just hasn’t been on the team as long. Politics I guess? Leo reaches a more core audience maybe? Nike SB started by supporting underground “skaters skater” pros rather than all the biggest names in skateboarding. That said I think Yuto might be next in line for a signature shoe. Same thing happened with reynolds and vans. They were like… well we have this whole team in line waiting for pro shoes and we’re just gotta hire reynolds and give him a shoe? So he left and went to new balance where he will likely get a shoe in 2025

[@BLVCKSEA]

​@@DavidBluetileI wouldn't say Leo reaches more of a "core" audience..more like an "alternative" audience at best...

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Nice 😊

[@Newstarboy1907]

so fresshh

NGL looks like a workboot, ain't my vibe, but great review.

[@dylives7667]

There's no way Leo Baker's Pro Model is superior than Omar Salazar's. Because of 2 words: Stash pocket.

[@teetop5776]

Nice female kick. Looks like a Airwalk.

[@elation0x]

Wear the shoes or don't do reviews

[@DavidBluetile]

As a buyer for a retail establishment I’m buying for more than just my taste. I like this shoe. I think there is a a place for it. Could I possibly wear and own all the shoes we carry every month? The answer is no. Between all the brands and styles we carry I’d have a hundred damn shoes a month. Also, people have different opinions of what style shoe they want to wear but still want to see new colors and materials. This is a first look for those folks. I don’t like janoskis but we sell a ton of them and a lot of people love them … why shouldn’t I show that person the new janoski? I don’t know how or why you’re carrying this kind of negative chip on your shoulder but I wouldn’t go into your job and tell you how to do it.

[@kennethfrancis6209]

Cant support it, and nike has just lost me for good now

Why is that?
