[@ManCave1972]

The passion on display is what it’s all about. Back in the day I loved wearing DC, Vans, Converse, Osiris, Etnies! Loved my Etnies. Easy to get pumped about seeing those old models come back.

[@bakerXderek]

Saw these in Zumies yesterday and double took so hard and snatched them up real fast. This was my dream shows as a kid that I never could have lol.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

These are the chunkiest shoes of all time. They’re such bricks, that they’re in a brick league of their own. No not the bricks you think I mean Mr. resell. Straight 90’s padding. Kick flips in these are difficult and they’re made for a technical skater haha, love it

[@NastyRhythm]

Yep they are bricks, but the OGs are slightly less chunky than the 2001 d3s....those things just looked crazy big on the feet, and tbh looked ridiculous. Always loved the OGs and so happy they re issued them. They're still chunky, and probably not the best for board feel, but for me its purely nostalgia. I just got the white and red ones as that's all I could find. Cent wait to get them on!

[@HectorLopez-um5dw]

I'm 35 and from San Jose, you are so right these were fire back then, not just skaters wore them, everyone had these.

[@WearTesters]

Hey Guys! If we've learned anything in the past 24 hours, it's that the past is in. So with that being said let's check out these beefcakes. Let us know down below if you have any early 2000s trends you're hoping make a comeback down below. Thanks for watching!

[@JXsneakerhead]

The Nostalgia with them Empanadas width kix 🤣 So awesome to see them back!

[@GraV21]

Man, I remember I went through my skateboard shoe phase in like 97-98. Emerica/Etnies & DC’s were my jams. Was rocking Hook-Up’s gear and Alien workshop as well as a board. 😂 I can always count on relating to Chris. I think we would have been best friends had we grown up around each other. It’s like we were experiencing a similar life and experiences growing up. It’s crazy can’t forget the JNCO’s 😂

[@oliverg6643]

Man i remember being in middle school and about 40% of the school had a pair of these. I was soo close to getting a pair but i went with the muska Circas because of the stash pocket in the tongue. Skate shoes are some of the most comfortable things to have on your feet.

[@jimtierra4545]

This is why I love this channel, I really get to reminisce the glory years of my childhood/pre-teens, with all those pop culture references.... Hoobastank, man kids this days would never know unless they dig it haha... 'I'm not a perfect person...' By the way, Osiris D3 was the unicorn of the skate scene during those times from where I live.... seeing it now, was like just wow... it does not feel like just only 20 yrs ago... :D

[@h__j__r]

Skate shoes were my foray into the sneaker world, and I love how you've done a few reviews on some grails that I had back in the day!

[@michaelsanford4891]

I wasn't a skater but I can FEEL the passion in this review and can relate with other shoes that got horrible retros

[@pmjc07]

Yessir. The D3’s were definitely popular. 👍🏼👍🏼 Shoutout to NW for throwing it back to the good ol days. Backpacks with speakers were field trip essentials. Playing the latest songs download straight off of Napster. 🙂

[@vladimirgreene1516]

Great review man! With dunks being burned out, and seeing LV and other high end fashion houses try to mimic skate silhouettes, I've decided to return to my roots copped a few skate shoes. Right now my daily drivers are the ES Silo and they turn heads everywhere I go. They sort of look like a Koston 1.

[@Lopescu]

Fred Durst rocking these in the video of My Generation. Takes me back.

[@watchmyepics]

The Osiris G-bag!!! On my bus we use to play rap beats n freestyle!!😂😎my most fond childhood memories was skateboarding, learning how to Trey flip, learning hard flips MUSKA style, watching Osiris’ The Storm for the first time on dvd 📀……skating on tensor lows n shortys decks 7.8 size, the bag jeans, baggy hoodies, bandana on head, loved it…east coast kid

[@WearTesters]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@josephm.u.4365]

Thanks bro for taking me back. You where spot on with the backpack with the speakers and the bands. I was a big NFG fan. I feel like the Bay Area and San Diego are very similar! Before the internet waiting for your CCS catalog to see what’s new in gear. Buying the skate magazines to see who’s wearing what. Let’s not forget about the brand “shorties “. What a great way to start my day. I’m gonna go throwback 2000s music all day today.

[@untilnothingisleft8722]

Oh! Man.... Real talk... DC, Osiris and DVS started my collection outside J's. Taking me back brody. Sneaker heads are like great actors, gotta have range. Feel like heading to Active now.

[@WilsonS965]

I remember when kids started rocking these and the Hi-top versions of these and DC. My late brother had like six pairs of these, he and my other brother and cousins were super badass on skateboards. They were so mad at the kids that wore them and didn't skate because they made them super hard to find. I suck at skateboarding, lol I can't even roll down the street. My oldest brother was just getting big into longboarding and just got back home from a longboarding trip around the country. He was skateboarding to the gas station one night with his best friend when they were both struck and killed by a drunk driver. Seeing this video makes me think of him! He would have loved seeing these! Love your content! Keep up the hard work!

[@jesusmartinez-br1yx]

I dont skate nor do i buy skate shoes, however your passion for footwear has always been a pleasure to watch. Also, the genuine care for one another that you two share is honestly inspiring to me. Keep up the great work…seriously!

[@russellgray1917]

Lol, I remember these. I remember kids skating in these or just hanging out in front of somebody's house, sitting on the porch listening to Limp Bizkit. Lol.....Good times! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, great video!

[@johnlindsay7301]

Skate shoes were THE shoe in the late 90s. They were perfect for the style of the time because the were padded shoes which made them quite bulky. But not in a bad way. They were generally lows, which were really low. Not a lot of mid sole. But here’s why they were perfect for that specific time: we all wore super baggie pants back then. So if you worn normal shoes they would just get hidden under your baggie pants. But if you had the Luffy skate shoe it would catch the bottom of the pant exposing the shoe in all its glory. Baggie pants/puffy shoe. It was a great combo. Today we have the east if at the bottom of the pant leg so we don’t need to hold it up with the bulk of the shoe. This is a great style for sneaker heads because you can wear any style shoe and it won’t get lost under pants. Back when skinny jeans were cool you pretty much had to wear skinny shoes or else the shoe and the pants would clash. But today with the semi baggie pants with sinched cuff you can wear skinny shoes, puffy shoes, skate shoes, chuck ts. What ever you like. It works. I love how style has evolved to maximize sneaker culture. I mess with it.

[@pm2007est]

Those are the widest biggest skates shoes ever made, and there were a lot of dope skate shoes. My favorite skate shoes I owned were the Duffs Stromboli, Etnies snakes. Es accels, es kostons, and Saviers Raleigh.

[@InZaneKicks]

All I need to see was the thumbnail and I knew this would be a nice trip down memory lane for you.

[@rafaelrivas8723]

I been waiting for this video I literally got my first pair of d3 2001 yesterday for my 19th birthday and I haven’t taken them off I love them ❗️❗️can’t wait for the red and white Og like you Chris 🤙🏻copping for sure. Remember wear what you like I was born in 2003 😂wasn’t even Processed yet

[@hippiegeraldo3042]

Omg, I miss early 2000's skate shoes, these new low profile joints just aren't doing it.

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Never was a big skate shoe fan but I appreciate how passionate you are about them

[@jowen821]

Wtf Chris, are we brothers?! Lol rocked Osiris, played ball in em, while listening to Incubus 🤣

[@larry7799]

They waited until all the kids that had or wanted them but couldn’t afford them now have money of their own. Gonna order mine payday

[@paintballJohn2]

I feel like a part of you’re family I’ve been watching it videos since I was in high school. I’m 27 now lmao.

[@Razielmon]

Love seeing support for Osiris on the channel. I have to agree though, I owned several pairs back in the late 90s/early 2000s and while these are great, they miss the mark on what I was hoping for. Glad to have them in my collection again, just hope they make some adjustments to bring them closer to a true 1:1 replica.

[@resksmith8265]

Thanks for the advice about goin half size up these fit perfect with toe room i was kinda worried about the sizing but it worked out

[@julienansay2979]

Skate shoes of that time were pretty cool with a baggy. Since baggy has evolved/disapeared, they ain't lookin' good anymore and it' s not an accident that current Skate shoes have thiner profile like the Dunks or the Vans. In the same category, I used to wear and play bbal with a pair of DVS and a pair of Globe. No one can't deny that the design Skate shoes of that time was deeply inspired by basketball shoes (visible air unit, extra large tongue, padding, colours, round laces, etc, etc)

[@ericrallos661]

Never in million years did i expect to hear a New Found Glory reference on Weartesters. So legit.

[@snipersnake777]

Got my original when I was 22. Really enjoyed it..just imagine listening to Sepultura, Metallica, Biohazard on the train while rocking these. Unfortunately somebody broke into my home and stole it together with my PS2 and Gameboy Advance. As soon as I saw them online, I snagged them ASAP. Now waiting for them in the mail. Size 13 all black baby! Love them fat old skool skate shoes.

[@sparky1642]

One of my favorite non Jordan/Nike shoes. I bought these for like $60 at my skate shop. I had them in hand recently, and they definitely aren’t as puffy as they were back then. Still got them though. All I need now is, a Red hat, Cargo shorts and a Tribal basketball jersey!

[@richardgovea7837]

Built in speakers brought me back, I remember having a hoodie with built in headphones. What a time to be alive

[@cr6nn]

Brooo😂 i was about to comment on your video that they reissued the og but you already got them

[@ralphtree03]

i've never owned a pair of DC shoes, never even owned a skateboard, but back then, airwalks and vans are my go to shoes, wore them to the ground!

[@leogotv]

Thanks for the flashbacks. Osiris were kings back then. 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

[@chriskollias9231]

Great shoe, I remember I was like 13-14 years old rocking the purple/orange colorway. I was mainly wearing another DC pair and saving these for more unique appearances like weekends, parties, etc. Unfortunately after 6 months, my feet grew 0.5-1 size and I could not wear them anymore. I had to give them away and didn't spend enough time on them. Sad memory of giving them away but some nice memories wearing them...

[@caribbeanj]

I really really don't care about these shoes. I used to hate them. But I do love your reviews and stories. Great video

[@variandavid377]

Oh the Osiris D3! Definitely a time machine on feet! It’s so funny you mentioned about the airbag…because that’s the first thing i noticed as well but I hadn’t seen the shoe in so long I wasn’t sure. That LILO and Stitch cut had me dying!! 🤣

[@SpurgeonLane]

Also never a skater, but I can appreciate those. I remember some guys in school rocking them. Nice silhouette

[@kevxxxedge]

You're right, and I 100% agree with the review. I feel like the only skate brand doing good retros is DC. They're all 95% correct. As for Axion, éS, globe and Osiris? They all changed up slight details or the soles and it just doesn't feel right. Have you seen the koston 1 retros that are coming?

[@hspacecowboy]

I remember the D3s were constantly on bogo deals at my local skate shops for like 2 years and then once everyone wanted one they went back to MSRP.

[@jameslkru]

Oh man! This was unexpected! I loved Osiris when I was skating in the 90s. No freakin idea what the model of my favorite pair was but every now and then I look for them. But I do remember when I bought them, this kid next to me was like, "Those are great......if you're a poser." Cool, bro. Cool.

[@gssaraiva1]

I'm too new to know this one,but your passion is unbeatable,now I want one of those too

[@nittanylion7]

I made it to the end, and I don't even like skate shoes and have no recollection of these. I just love sneakers in general and love your videos

[@MetalsForBrunch]

DC Shoes and Etnies were my skateshoes back in 1999.

[@resksmith8265]

FYI zumies has the red grey n blk pair i just ordered me a pair 🔥

[@selfawaredrew]

I used to drool over these when i was a kid.

[@elfyteamrockdontstock1085]

Bro I really miss out on the original release cause in Singapore it was super limited. But when this retro i had to get them. Wish the all red will be retro also. Thanks on sharing your views on the different between the original and the retro. Info like this is much love for a sneakerhead. Not many people does this and hypebeast will never understand what you just said hahaha. Much love from Singapore 🇸🇬

[@aarondelacruz8079]

Man, the THE HUNDREDS collab is lit! How I know? I have them. 😆

[@dopedev7079]

Man I definitely remember these! I’m definitely going to get a pair if they release that OG black/Royal colorway you have Chris. Awesome video guys!

[@jasonproctor9896]

This shoe started a revolution of skate shoes when I was a kid

[@yakxattack]

I had that same feeling when first looking at them that they had more 2001 vibes than I remember on my 1999 editions. Thanks for the review; honestly got me a bit hesitant now...

[@BIGBADWOLFVAMP]

This is my second favorite skate shoe 1st is the KOSTON 1s kids today tell me what im wearing that i need jordan 1s or dunks on but SKATING shoes are the most COMFORTABLE for us older guys 100% agree :) such a great shoe.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Bro! Skate shoes are the shit!!! I literally just bought some (different brand) I'll be reviewing soon, because it took me back to my childhood. But, I remember having these and the backpacks with the speakers!!! Man the 90s and early 2000s were the shit!!!!

[@eldude831]

I was as passionate about skating as you are about basketball. All of my friends felt like you couldn't skate unless u had skate shoes so when one of my friends offered to sell me his used Osiris I jumped on the chance and man where they a game changer . I used them till the air bags fell out kinda wish I never tossed them but they where beat .

[@drstevebrule69]

I had the 2001 D3's from 3rd to 5th grade and was known as the kid with the grey D3's. Good times!

[@amoore05359]

Man I hated these back in the day but now seeing them return makes me actually appreciate them more

[@t.h.e.weasel1337]

Immediately think of Reese from Malcolm in the Middle whenever someone mentions frosted tips 😂

[@bluebomber424]

The d3 its also my favorite shoe of all times specially the navy and yellow colorway sheesh and yes I am a sneakerhead too but d3s im still getting every color way that comes out and I like

[@subieracer005]

Episode is straight FIRE!!! Had a few pairs of those... I love when you go off trail and mix in other shoes!

[@jeffslave]

I remember wearing these when I was a kid and man these bring back memories. I gotta try to cop a pair of these

[@riellabanda1814]

Damn it. I am gonna get a skate shoe like that soon. You inspired me. I Actually wanted to get one when I was younger but you know, you don't have a job like you have now. Gonna get some cargo shorts, and big shirts as well. Not kidding.

[@rockytribouillier9028]

These are Hella dope.. I remember my big bro buying these for me back in 6 grade.. I was kinda skeptical on getting the blackout ones or the grey and yellow ones from just looking at pictures on the internet... after watching this review, thanks to you; ima go ahead on copp the yellow and grey ones 🔥🔥🔥🤙💯

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Being a real Millennial born in 1987, and grew up in the late 90’s and early to mid 2000’s, now 34, I can relate. I wasn’t a skater. The majority of us weren’t, but that along side platform shoes/sneakers like the famous brand Buffalo, still own a pair just for memory sake, was the shit back then. 90% of the kids in my home town owned a pair of these brands and types of shoes. I didn’t own any DC, Osiris or Etnies etc, but I had the Buffalo version. Best shoes ever. Wore them regardless of weather and season. Then after 2003, at least here in Norway, Puma, Nike, Adidas, and Converse took over. I loved how cushioned the skating shoes where, the thick oversized tongue, fat laces, and wide foot/toes friendly. I had a scull ès version, which I gave to my boyfriend, and he used them all up until recently when they basically fell apart being over 14 years old. So old I couldn’t even see the sizing to buy another as ès still makes a version of their skating shoe… tho not the same quality as it was way back when, when being made in Spain was more common than “China” or “Vietnam”. Also back then, there where no raffles, no limited pairs. You just walked into any store that had them, tried then on and bought them. Miss it!

[@TitongGalit]

I'm just on my early 20s but due to my involvement with skateboarding, I've wanted to wear this back then.

[@leteizjordan298]

Me too I'm about to turn 22 this year

[@franciscocobosrodriguez7395]

This is a great silhouette! They look great in black and minty green

[@spawnie051]

I've never seen these Osiris shoes. I've had DC, Circa, Etnies, ZooYork, but I've never seen Osiris in my parts of Europe. They look even chunkier then the Circa Chad Muska pair I've had, and that's saying something.

[@Insidious88]

D3s were my go to skate shoes back in the day! I love these shoes

[@kenlee1159]

I never see the shoe in my life, and I kind of like how they look. Chunk as hell

[@gotscully]

Love the passion my dude. Love that some skate companies are bringing back the classics. Shortys bringing back the muska boards… Es shoes some what re- released the koston1… emerica in 2008 brining back Marc Johnson’s. Cheers.

[@JoeDaddy11]

No lie the nitpicking is what I relate to the most that’s why I watch your videos because I would do the same thing and I do the same thing.

[@1017enrique]

7:24 i felt that lmaoo😂😂

[@rogermacbain]

geeesus this shoe, dave not the signature but the last to pick a shoe, he got this one, an incirlce joke through the skate industry but ended up out selling some legend skate sneaks

[@Ruddline]

Happy Valentines Day to the cutest couple on KZbin!

[@TheAsheryl]

I couldn’t get a pair back in the day because im a student, and im not familiar with websites. Now its time to bring back 1999 😂

[@gunpla_sk8]

So happy Osiris is bring back more older shoe models there releasing 2 more models this year 🥳

[@markbradley5355]

I tried a pair of the retros on recently and was sorely disappointed by the quality of materials; little details like that missing stitching, the center loop, eyelets, hell even the smell was off. Of all my nitpicks, the most egregious thing was the cheap flat laces. They had all the ingredients to bring back one of the most iconic skate shoes and they dropped the ball hard. I just recently ordered the eS Creager re-issue stoked to relive that era.

[@chinoisuno]

I can relate to that feeling, this was a very popular shoe in my skateboard years

[@Randell88]

I might be knit picking but Dave Mayhew was on the original shoe box. I had the black with blue trim pair with the premium tongue straps .

[@dillyp13]

I had these!! Holy hell I forgot all about these

[@mitsuralli21]

Hitting me in the feels rn 🔥

[@Sjimenez94]

I remember these as a little kid I never got these but I ended up getting some Adios I miss the chunky skate shoe era might have to get these!

[@joseph84az]

Yoooo the Goat Bring me memories 🥲

[@chrisnoel1864]

As a skater since the 80s.. one of my most favorite pair of shoes were the black converse chanys. Apparently they had helium in them and were just as strange looking as the d3's... which I also had pairs of:)

[@awolmel281]

I was born the same year these came out! I like these shoes I’m thinking about getting a pair once I see more color ways

[@kawaii671]

Cant Wait to Grab a Pair…Nostalgia🙌🏽

[@Phamousillday]

I remember these damn! So much nostalgia.

[@hellaguapo]

The D3s! I low key was hoping you’d have on some wide leg JNCOs for the on foot shot 😂

[@christiany6677]

I also had the white and red ones. Your right those eyelid holes ruined it for me. Those are too think. My favorites were the Emerica Reynold 1 in brown. Those were so hard to find.

[@AponeTheSergeant]

ES needs to retro the Koston 1 & 2 now!!

[@hashimihashim837]

osiris, dvs, adio, dc shoes....man what a time

[@snkrcactus5675]

These are awesome! I still need to pick up a pair. Looking at some éS too!

[@AddOnKicks]

Not even a skater and I love the skate shoe reviews

[@wc4865]

I made skater shoes and phat farm/echo jeans a vibe back in my day lol circa 2000

[@NickyStikes]

LOL not what I was expecting. I thought those we so cool back in the day. I remember thinking it was the perfect design for skating and being bummed when I kicked through the eyelets on the left shoe.

[@Lazy_Psyduck]

can't see myself lacing these up anymore, but retro some Heretic 2's and I would SOOO cop.

[@Jose_Ole_Posole]

I feel you on this! Growing up there was some fire skater shoes I use to fukk wit.
