[@fordxbgtfalcon]

And they're implying that they are made in Japan but are in fact made in China out of cheap steel. Big scam.

[@mCblue79]

Almost as bad as the Huusk "Japanese hand-made" knives; made at very low cost by machines in China. From the same scamming company as the "Nuubu foot detox" patches. I wish KZbinrs would do a little research before taking sponsor $$$. In the long run it's just detrimental to their credibility and hence, channel.

[@maselbac]

Better materials than the crap shoes he was cutting

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Exactly. Even Gillette uses AEB-L

[@maidpretty]

Frankly, these Kamikoto knives are (not Japanese) made of inexpensive stainless 420J2 steel with low hardness of HRC ~53. Initially sharp, but edge retention is mediocre at best. So, their "bargain" prices are easily explainable, since this is a typical marketing case of nowadays: cheap product pretending to be premium - something we have a lot in boots and shoes department, especially for sneakers with production+logistics cost of $25-30 sold for $100-$150 or more.

[@maidpretty]

Also, check out some Asics sneakers, and there's no need for greenscreen, your regular background is just fine as it is.

[@bgw893]

Yeah, the phrasing for the ad copy is doing a lot of heavy lifting to imply they are made in Japan. Saying Japanese steel knives sounds like it's a knife from Japan, made from steel, instead of being a knife, made from steel that might be from Japan, etc. And if it was actually made from decent steel, they'd say what specific steel in detail.

[@maidpretty]

​@@bgw893 While Kamikoto knives are made in mainland China, SUS420J2 Cr13 C0.3 steel is probably made in Japan. Well, it's always a bad sign if a knife maker won't specify steel and hardness. It's like when a shoe maker has no info on upper and sole materials. The 7" Santoku (sold for $171) unit cost (rough estimate) should be sub $35 in medium sized production batches with box included.

These were my beloved shoes I owned the original silver ones from 1997. I previously owned the air max 95's in green and grey and then bought these 97's in silver. I was in the army and stationed in Alaska and wore them to PT as I ran in the cold, the air chambers played some odd tricks as they hit the cold pavement. I also wore these to my first ever trip to the UK in 1997 and got some looks - good times

[@arabella000]

The foam is in there to make the midsole comfortable. Some other air max units just had solid rubber columns. The tunnels of air works like coring out the midsole. It provides more compression in the foam but the pressure of the air holds it up so it doesn't collapse as the foam bottoms out over time. The outside air is to provide stability. May just be a gimmick now but Air Max was a legit running shoe back in the day.

[@Jay.King23]

Yeah tell him

[@Samsonfs]

The 270s were actually really good for running but mine popped so I warrantied them and got ultraboosts lol

Hey Weston, I see that you’ve been interested (as well as a lot of us) in exploring air-soled shoes recently. Would you be interested in seeing the inside of a high-end air-soles shoe?

Always fun seeing the sneaker teardowns. I'm sure it's a very challenging process making shoes that are mass-manufactured and have to appeal to many different types of people. As far as the green screen, I much prefer the simplicity of the shop background without all the edits and cutaways. Sometimes less is more. But hey, that's just me. Thanks for the awesome vids, Weston.

[@maxknuckles13]

For me they were more firm out of the box than i expected.. but soften up as walk/run and materials heat up.. all and I like them.. quite supportive as well

[@jonasnyman8189]

I have a pair of AM97, and they are pretty comfy. They look great in all colorways and in plain black leather/white outsole they can look pretty formal for sneaker. But as a shoe, I think the AM95 gives better support when just walking around the town.

[@robert9595]

Have you ever thought of doing a deconstruction of a high heel? Since watching these videos I've always wondered if the support is built differently since only the toes, and a fixed point on the heel make contact with the ground.

[@kostas1x2]

This shoe, in my experience, had the worst gluing job in the sole. The sole was unglued 10 times faster than any other shoe i had. The problem seemed to be the glue itself. I had 3 pairs that had the same fate.

[@vmrabello]

its terrible, indeed. I have one that was barely a year old when the sole lost its adhesive and it made way way for the air membrane to simply brake at some point and the cause the air unit to lose pressure. Really embarassing and frustrating, since it is a fairly expansive shoe

[@busi1720]

Virtually all Nike shoes with similar sole to this are outright junk. Had about 3 of them that collectively didn't last up to 30 miles. Have moved to adidas since and never looked back.

[@mia.x]

They're so slippery when it rains, I really don't like them for that reason! I have to say, some of their recent air max launches have been my absolute favourites. The 270s are the best errand shoes ever. I can spend all day on my feet running around the city with zero issues

[@Comfort_Connoisseur]

I love your comment bc this reinforces how everyone has different tastes and preferences. Personally, the 270 is the most uncomfortable air max silhouette I've ever worn. They hurt my feet while wearing and are not easy to get on and off for me. I like the look, but functionality wise, I can't even rock them. Now, the 270 React ENG is one of the most comfortable models I've ever worn. I'm glad someone likes the 270s and I would advise trying the react eng if they release some better colorways. The Travis Scott pair is by far the best but there's not much competition with the React ENGs. Happy Air Max Month. Oh and to the creator, thanks for destroying your 97s my guy. I enjoyed seeing their guts. I have the red pair from the "medal" pack. I don't get it, but I got them for the low. Love 97s for casual wear and if I'm not planning on doing too much walking.

[@kyleduddleston4123]

Awesome video! I think the green screen is an interesting addition, although I feel like there is too much going on. I like the comedic cuts, but having you in front of the water droplet demonstration wasn't very good. The green screen maybe just adds too much hype for a video where there isn't as much hype, but more info and learning. Your videos are interesting enough without the other distractions taking away from what you are doing/saying.

@@sebastianmorales2753 That's a great idea! It would be like a written review of KZbin videos. I guess it would be just like food critics writing about the food they had at a restaurant. You could critique the production quality, the script, the level of detail they went into if it's a review of something or the quality of entertainment from less informational videos. We could do bio's on the channel founder and investigate the truth behind channels who are faking their lifestyle, kind like coffeezilla does. We could do interviews with them and get answers to questions like they do with celebrities. We could also do behind the scenes of big KZbinrs who don't already do them themselves. I think a lot of people would watch that kind of stuff since it's already a huge industry in Hollywood and the music industry. I don't want to be into gossip, though. That kind of stuff can be pretty toxic. I've always wondered what kind of channel I could start and I personally don't know many that already exist like this. Thank you so much for egging on this long reply and giving me a great idea for a channel. 😆 Just having fun, no ill intent bud.

I'd love to see you cut open more Air Max sneakers and other interesting Nike shoes. If you could manage to get your hands on any tubular air Nike shoes to dissect then that would be awesome. They were around for a short period of time in the early-mid 2000s so they are a bit rare to come by but the design choices are incredibly interesting but unfortunately they never really took off. In Australia the Air Max Plus which are known as TNs for their tuned air technology have a cult following so if you do a pair of them that would be awesome too. Another interesting Nike technology is Shox but they also never really took off like the air max. I'm a huge air max head and I really hope you can do more videos related to them and any sort of exposed air technology. Great video as always

Interesting video. I love AirMaxes. The air bubbles look so cool but I find that once the foam carrier compresses completely that the air support columns hurt my feet. Air Maxes are my favorite modern sneaker style-wise but the most comfortable shoes I have are Nike Zoom Fly. The Zoom Flys are 3 years old now but the midsole is Nike React, a foam (I think the answer to Adidas Boost) sandwiched around a carbon-fiber plate. I was working in a warehouse at the time and tried on any cushioned shoes I could find, even breaking my Nike brand preference by trying on their rivals including Under Armour, Adidas and New Balance.

The original Air Max '97s and '98s were more cushioned and comfortable that the models released in the last decade or so despite visually being similar in appearance.

Shoe video idea! Skate shoes: cupsole vs vulcanized sole. For example: Emerica Gamma vs Emerica Omen.

[@shanedavis5799]

I prefer an interesting background with mood lighting. With a green screen you can have that and still do the short clips with you in the bottom corner that I liked.

[@skybabyfingaz]

The idea of the sneaker actually came from stepping in water and seeing the ripples flow outward that’s why you see ripples going around the shoe, the same way they would be in water if you put your foot in it

[@DirtyPlumbus]

You'd have to pay me $200 to wear those. Lol

[@christianmoraes7206]

Thats just about how much they retail for 😂

[@buckhaa1502]

I don't think I've ever spent more than 60 bucks on a sneakers

[@LoneWolfed]

Not sure what mine were that I bought in 2012 with the air chamber. Didn't last a year before the right shoe air chamber popped. Never bought shoes like that again.

I’d love to see a video cutting a pair of Allbirds! They’re a brand of shoes that are made to be as sustainable as possible (at least by what they say), so they feature materials like wool and plant-based plastic. I have a pair of the wool runners and they’re pretty good! I just don’t use them for super athletic stuff (they have some models that are more athletically designed)

[@carlwest5936]

Yess! Ive been waiting for this thank you Rose Anvil!!!

[@aweston111]

Also... please do Nike Shokz and Double-stack zoom air Lebron/Jordan, plus the PEBAX jump cage on the Nike G.T. Jumps.

[@MrRiskMgmt]

Nice touch with Bells of War playing in the background, very summer ‘97 🤘🏽

[@devileye90]

i’ve worn this pair to the ground and it’s the one shoe that i don’t ever feel like i’m walking on an air unit or foam. it feels like i’m walking on a solid slab instead. 1 whole day of wearing and my feet is sore. i agree with the gimmick that works part. plus, the overall shape is so slim that it gets tight on the sides (i’m not even wide footed) so much so that it hurts. highkey worse shoe of the air unit bunch to me.

[@oliverfarkas1012]

Hey, i've got them in black and that uses real leather on the lower part i used it for some time and you can see the grain separeting on the side

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

A great video. Really interesting dissection even though I'm not into sneakers. Really hate the new green screen background though. Too much happening. Far too many distractions. You don't need that gimmick

[@stevenswann2835]

Please drop the green screen - it's juvenile and distracting. Great video! I'd love to see more running shoe dissections - Asics and their gel, Mizuno and their plastic plates - lots of interesting tech and claims to test!

[@xof_industries6379]

cut in half all the main air jordans! from 1-14, since they are the more popular models, very interested in seeing the Jordan 3’s thru 7’s cut in half since certain models say they have 2 air units and others are a 3/4 or full unit, would be very excited to see those

[@lukeauckland5113]

Hi could you cut some air max 95s in half please think it would be really cool to see the technology inside them

[@StevOPelO]

So much learning!!! It's like plugging into the matrix

[@shaybosis2199]

Grate video, didnt like the green screen, it was too destracting, but the video itself was grate, ceep up the good eork man

[@GiantSleeping]

you should review a pair of ON running shoes! That'd be very interesting to see

[@dewsusii9336]

i have a pair of 97s and i stepped on a tiny little thumb tack and it completely popped the shoe

[@DfwLlama]

I don't know how I found this video but I'm glad I did. Interesting.

[@satyapura7253]

you should cut the airmax 720 for the latest full length air unit from nike! i think it only has foam in the middle as the stabilizer and doesn't have any chambers.

[@Ladypanic13]

I love the air max 97. I have the black on black one. They give no support. I literally just sold them, lol. So, seeing this video pop up was a nice goodbye to my kicks. Lol

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

Air Max 95 has always been and will always be King of the Air maxes.
