Why Skaters Hate Nyjah Huston's NEW Skate Shoe!

[@WillGrahamCHNL]

Love the look of these shoes. I dunno who needs to hear this but it’s ok for skaters to look like pro athletes and not homeless dudes…

[@localjoe]

hahahaha

[@wrenzaugg2022]

Unless you wanna have good style...

[@localjoe]

@@wrenzaugg2022 goes without saying style is subjective

[@4-Sight-Skating]

1 good skate session and u will look homeless in in any shoes. Even brand new Nike

[@igetitlitsoicansit2950]

[@chefchefchef]

I love that nyjah listens to his fans too even for the second show in an interview he said what he changed and why cause of ppls feedback. Plus I had the same gripe for the 2’s the webbing ripped easily. Now they put the rubber all over the toe again

[@jaciobe]

I actually like the look of them

[@localjoe]

I do too but again hard to match the vibe with the clothes I run

[@pedrodurty47]

I tell people all the time to try em and see. The last shoe was super comfy, I wear them all the time. These news one haven’t dropped all the colors yet but I will be getting a pair

[@poopgoblin6934]

Eeeeeeeew

[@jaciobe]

@@localjoe they looked good with those pants. I need more ankle stability in shoes so wear ès or tyshawn mids .. sometimes sk8 hi or half cabs. Usually ès or tyshawns though

[@Thenny773]

They should have a black and 3m pair

[@Ohgreatcj.]

My pair came in yesterday. Very impressed with the build quality and how light the shoes are. I break in all of my shoes before skateboarding so the stiffness isn’t a worry at the moment. The design is definitely hit or miss for people. I’m a huge fan of the 2’s (I have 4 pairs) so it’s sort of a given for me. Great review man. You pointed out all of the differences.

[@localjoe]

The heel reminds me of the ishods as well really feels good on foot

[@PrecYsely]

Yea the 2s are the best so far

[@jamaltatums]

Do they fit true to size for nike?

[@Ohgreatcj.]

@@jamaltatums they are true to size but a bit narrow out of the box. With some time they will break in.

[@jamaltatums]

@@Ohgreatcj. thanks brother

[@vicarious_cringe]

I bought these because I like the way they look and, as I recall, are virtually indestructible compared to any other shoe I've owned. I usually like bigger shoes, but these are one of my new favorites

[@dennylekstrom4517]

Because it's Nyjah Hustons shoe, and it's not cool to like Nyjah? Interesting that a culture that developed out of a fuck you to conformism has no sense of original thought sometimes.

[@prevailwithme]

I had my first session yesterday with the shoe, and holy shit they are really fucking good.

[@JostenDooley]

I think some of the best Nike skate shoes were the janoskis. But holy hell those shoes are only meant for ledge skating and some transition had little to no protection for your feet. But the board feel was incredible.

[@HarryBalsark]

still have 8 pairs of them with 3 never worn. bought a bunch of em when i heard they were going to be discontinued lol definitely the best board feel in them

[@Hogib35]

Bro yes super comfy, and damn disconitnued..

[@p4fizzle]

IDC what some haters think. Every time Nyjah drops a shoe, for some reason I gotta have it! But I hate all white so I'll be waiting for some new colourways! Edit: Joe is very right though, this style doesn't typically look good with baggier clothing. But I'd wear these when i skate in shorts (long shorts that is)

[@4-Sight-Skating]

Personal preference here... I can't take Nike serious as skate shoes... I hate the idea of all these skater started companies like etnies and fallen being overlooked for nike...

[@tresfordays9644]

It’s a double edged sword, I prefer skater owned and focused brands like Etnies or Fallen, but your market is only so big if you only cater to skaters, so in the end the company makes less money to put into production and innovation of skate shoes, where as Nike has the money and resources to innovate skate shoes, so skaters have a choice, skate the awesome innovative skate shoes from big corporate brand, or stay core and support skate brands and stick to less innovative shoes, which is a hard choice, Etnies does a decent job of walking that line, with the Marana being a good innovative shoe from a core company, but that shoe also came out 10 years ago, but as much as I love Fallen, they are Falling behind

[@pirty-dirty-bops3734]

​@@tresfordays9644 if your skateshoes are good everyone will want them, even to just look like they skate

[@MickyThunderV]

That Es' argument was on point. The same with nyjah himself, if anybody else would put out his parts there would be no discussion about soty at all^^

[@raimondibro]

Just finished my 1st pair of nyjah 2s. Lasted 5 months skating hard everyday through the summer and fall. Cupsole was great for impact, the ventilation was amazing and it still holds up. I just finally blew them out on my kickflips but theyre still kinda good to skate in. Gonna get these after I destroy my 2nd pair of 2s. My cariumas, es' and etnies only lasted like 3-4 weeks tops for not much less money and vulcs lose their protection after awhile. My only complaint with the 2s is how low they are. My ankles hate my skateboard 🤣

[@shaunbang]

These remind me a lot of the old SB Tres with the holes in the front and all the plastic rubber type material making up the upper

[@ryanwalters3531]

I appreciate the look of these shoes more than the Nyjah twos. I think its because of the lower profile, they appear more narrow, and the simplicity of it all.

[@Wingsforliye]

Delivering again, was just about to order these 😂 Thanks Joe!

[@localjoe]

Good timing!

[@MothAV]

GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL! I usually skate NB#, but I decided to spend the $$$$$$$$ on the Nyjah 2 when it first came out. They were genuinely amazing for about two days. But once they were broken in they really hurt my feet. It felt like my foot was rolling over the edge of the sole. Like it wasn't big enough for my foot. Something I've never had issues with. So I ended up selling them to my buddy for a fraction of what I paid. They were still new....

[@siosemeli5888]

Glad you said this bc this is why I skate NB bc of how wide the toe caps are

[@franciscoramirez9867]

The reviews I've seen have been mostly positive. Interesting about the grip Nyjah said he usually likes his shoes with little to no grip. The stiff midsole is a good idea, I hate shoes that are floppy out the box

[@vinsa30]

I just found a pair to try on (black/blue with lightning), but I haven't done a deep dive on the inspiration of the shoe but I would guess it was the Nike Air Presto. It's basically a skateboard version. If you liked the Air Presto, then you'll appreciate these Nyjah 3's.

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

I wonder if that heel shank would help out a lot with primo and heel bruises!

[@localjoe]

Landed primo once and it hurt ngl but I do think it helps with protecting your heel

[@daffyduckling6958]

Axions are good for that. I bought a pair of the Axion Complex shoes and I can skate them for hours compared to my other shoes. Landing primo doesn't hurt my feet with them either. Globes are also a worthy choice.

[@smashedtomato]

You look like a premium skater now. Welldone!

[@johnhenshaw318]

Hey joe,been watching your videos for a minute now and I have to admit your tre flips are looking quite savvy but your front side flips are still lacking rotation. Front side flips were my obsession when I skated. Keep it up bro!

[@localjoe]

Yeah they are hard to look at lol work in progress

[@Infamous-cause]

Secret to not burning out your shoe laces as quickly is to use hot glue on the area that takes the most beating.

[@lazyk1751]

To me these are by far the best looking Nike skate shoes. Not gonna but from Nike though :p

[@pirty-dirty-bops3734]

Resale is worse especially on pro models from today, like 30× mark up which is retarded

[@jacobestrada2812]

I've been waiting for someone to do a review on these. Thanks Joe

[@localjoe]

good timing! haha

[@thevernonposse]

What are your opinions on bushings I'm a 220 pound 40 year old and my stock bushings are crying for mercy 😂😂

[@localjoe]

haha what trucks are you on?

[@daffyduckling6958]

Get harder bushings,around 97a and up. I started skating again at 205 lb and I kept breaking my bushings which were stock 90a. After replacing them with Independent 95a I haven't had any problems and I skate tight trucks.

[@thevernonposse]

@@localjoe mini logo they come with 95a considered mediums

[@mattfischer3853]

I heard this, went for medium bones bushings on my thunder trucks. Hardness was fine, but was not expecting the extreme change in turning diameter. Second set of Indy trucks put 93A dime bag hardware in and surprisingly was perfect. Still like my thunder trucks for flat ground, which are probably about 88-90, but for transition I like the Indy’s with the 93a.

[@tresfordays9644]

Get bone hards

[@victorperfecto7472]

I hate the hanging lace loop on top. Wish nike stitched it so i can keep it hanging conveniently

[@8bitsamurai6]

I think it's dope that there differnt. Innovations good if it's not gimmicky.

[@findingnemo6669]

I used to skated over a basketball in my driveway. Thats nostalgic right there.

[@thisbumguy9876]

had a pair and they lasted half a year, one of the most comfy skate shoes ive owned, shit i have even worn them to work they are so comfy

[@tresfordays9644]

I finally got to skate my pair, things I liked, the bottom of the shoe is grippier than than the 1st two which is nice, and I think it’s fits a lot more comfortable and has more padding than the first two, I don’t particularly like how the flick feels, it grips nice and has a good flick, I just don’t FEEL the flick that we’ll cause of how the rubber feels sliding on the grip, great shoe overall, and i think it skated better than the others, but I’m not sure if I’d skate it again

[@bihwhat3556]

They remind me of the Nike sb zoom tre for me I love the sneaker

[@Herb_St]

Well where is the follow up review you promised at the end Joe?

[@localjoe]

I got distracted skating other shoes. I think they are solid to skate just not my favorite looking tho.

[@Herb_St]

I feel you on the aesthetics for sure. I’ve skated sb dunks my last two pairs of shoes and I actually love them and don’t really want to skate anything else haha. But I bought a pair of these nyjah 3s for $50 so I decided to look up some reviews, And what do you know! My man local Joe has a video on them 😂

[@Herb_St]

@@localjoe I do think they look decent in hand. But on feet they are a little cringe. I can’t see them going with any fits other than athletic shorts. And I mostly wear pants

[@YTwoKay]

I just bought a pair of these shoes and they make me want to go pro and I’m not even there yet 🤣 I love em

[@nersai1]

since nyjah 1´s these are the best skateshoes u can buy if you can get over the aesthetics. board feel is amazing grip is nice on em for the nyjah 1´s heelflip felt a bit off but they fixed it with the 2´s and obv the 3´s durability is incredible. and i actually like that they look like regular shoes but i usally skate in shorts maybe thats why they dont feel that off to me personally.

[@bassyey]

2:12 I mean, wearing shorts makes your legs have more freedom. You also weigh lighter, pants are really heavy. Like what Nyjah wears. That's what practicality is.

[@ElementWTF]

after one week walking they are broken in perfectly. had about 4 sessions on it after a 2 year break. so far the shoe is nice but i really want to see how long it takes to get this shoe down.

[@dominickdaniels1995]

Hated them at first but every time I see them again they grow on me a little more

[@jsowards6342]

Same thing happened to me man. Then I bought 2 pairs

[@thefisu]

In my humble opinion, ETNIES Marana is the best skateboard shoe of all time, I encourage you to do a review. Cheers!

[@tresfordays9644]

That was one of my favorite shoes, very durable and sturdy

[@jasonharris5201]

The sole looks like you are gonna pick up every pebble on the ground. I believe they removed the shank from the mid foot. David from Bluetile did a review saying they removed it, I don’t know.

[@yakxattack]

That puffy heel cushion is just unpleasant for me to look at. Took away the sleekness that the Nyjah 1s and 2s had

So I was hoping to get a reply from you or another full sized adult I'm switching to bones bushings for the reason you did once I really lean on the edge the stock bushings just loose all integrity but I'm 230 pounds at 5''8" I was gonna get hard is that the right choice I'm also just getting back on a board after a 20 year break so I think I could use the stability

[@trevor2206]

How is the fit on the 3’s? With the 2’s I had to go up a half size so I’m wondering if the same is true for these. Thanks for the review!

[@yakxattack]

I go up half a size with the 2s also and they fit perfect, but the 3s feel different. The 3s extremely tight from midsole to heel, so going up in size helps with that and being able to get the shoe on my foot. But the they're a bit longer and there's a large gap in front of my toes now, which did not occur in the 2s of the same size. Simply put, going up a half size with the 3s don't feel as comfortable on my feet compared to the feeling I got with the 2s.

[@kkronic6709]

They are ok.... But I just don't like his first 2 either, I like the "es" accell slims, or the OG accell

Had the black the right shoe made a popping sound when walking, back they went np why I buy from Nike if possible gold standard for returning stuff 4 days from when I was in the post office money landed. I have many issues with Nike but the guarantee is fantastic 60 days from purchase date to return for any reason. Obviously doesn't matter time wise if faulty.

But I’ve been looking into getting these or if you have any other recs that would be very much appreciated 🙌.

[@TheRealWarez]

If you still skate... look at New Balance #'s (their skateboarding shoes)... they are naturally a bit wide... on top of that they have "wide" sizes. or at least they used to. 🤷‍♀

[@spht9ng]

@@TheRealWarez they have skate shoes with a wide toe box if your toes getting crushed is the issue. For me it’s the midfoot area where my arch spills out of most shoes and I get really bad pain from that. Unfortunately all the New Balances I have tried have a hard sidewall in the midfoot and are narrow in that area. I even tried the 440v2 in actual wide size and they were more narrow than the eS Accel Slim. I guess I will have to keep skating eS forever since nothing else fits me lol.

[@palma2289]

[@jamiemckelvie342]

The thing I'd change about these is keeping the lace system from the 2's and securing the side lace mount thing down properly, not just at the bottom

[@PHeMoX]

I'm not sure the changes from the Nyjah Free 2 make all that much sense honestly. I mean, it wasn't a bad shoe. But had flaws. Now it changed them for new flaws lol. They're only durable compared to Vans lol. The third edition has zero impact protection. Laces will rip waaaaaaay faster. And the rubber might seem pretty durable at first, but it's kinda not really. The same is true for the Nyjah Free 2s. Those didn't last super long for me. The flip flop rubber at the top end is also just kinda ridiculous. I prefer a velcro strap over that lol. The previous Nyjah Free 2 had plenty of grip. Didn't need a different outsole profile IMHO. I didn't love the sizing, but that's just Nike in general for me. (And no, they aren't objectively true to size.). The sock this new shoe has is also worse than the Nyjah Free 2s, so you won't feel as secure in these. As for board feel and such, I'm sure it's fine. But I prefer shoes with some more protection. In general, I'd say board feel is overrated when you can get extremely durable shoes that you can enjoy much longer for pretty much the same cost or less. One thing they did improve is the stiffness of shoe and how it won't bend and tear anymore around the halfway point (near the ollie spot). I kinda wouldn't necessarily recommend this shoe over the Nyjah Free 2.
