Why this could be BIG for adidas: Jamal Smith's Adimatic!

[@heskicks]

These are NEW & Now $82! Retail $110 adidas Adimatic Skate Shoe w code CELEBRATE bit.ly/3OCqmFj

[@dylives7667]

For 82? Definitely. Never for 110. They're not Dunks.

[@boms2762]

i had this in 1997, 2nd year in highschool . Bring back so many memories. My first adidas skate shoes.. Its true to form. Even those laces are right. The round emblem in the heal thats new

[@owen7185]

Correct, these are 1-1 except for the colorway

[@spodbod1100]

I had these in blue/brown back in 97, n I remember them with the round emblem but same color as sole.

[@owen7185]

Dope sneaker, Atmos Japan is blowing up with Adimatic, and their colorways are insane. They also have special adimatic t-shirts and socks. I'm jealous I wish they weren't Japan only

[@danf1089]

Half or full size up for these! The green and white pair were dope. Tried to buy them but my TTS were too tight, and had otherwise sold out.

[@ClimaxO159]

Thank you for telling the sizing

[@DisruptorK]

true hero here, thanks man

[@stylepoint1200]

Nice. I have every color these come in. This model is super sick. Had a pair in 98 and as soon as I saw them coming back out I went on the hunt. Great pickup!!

[@ronrr2334]

Got the yellow Adimatics and i love it. I'm not a skater. I just wear is casually and I find it comfortable.

[@christophersmith9682]

Dope shoe in my opinion. I love watching your channel, because you don't just focus on what's hyped. Peace

[@tiuby]

Saw the review late my man but thanks for this! Looking forward to this coming to Manila 🤙

[@TheSmartSneakerhead]

After all the videos I'e watched on your channel the last 8-9 years. I just realized for your newer video intros have the same sneaker brand you are going to review lol. Man that is dope and smart!!! Great review as always

[@ericfreeman5394]

This are one if my favorite skate shoes, they havent ripped up for me yet and i just love the feel, it was hard to get used to bit i love it. Its slippery but i like that buttery feeling

[@LeekandMLeah]

Literally just bought a yellow and blue pair from Burlington Coat Factory for 38$. Never seen them before just cool looking.

[@sniz1oner]

These I'll def cop when I can, some skate nostalgia but also they are clean and bold branding is great 4 me. Nike blazer vibes but no doubt a lot more compfort and thrashability here.

[@stalefacegoldteeth]

What’s the sizing like??? Do they fit big? Small? TTS???

[@whizkid0328]

Got these back in 97! Black and blue colorway if I remember correctly

[@You_know_its_ya_boy]

Are these true to size?

[@3rDegreeBernz]

I have a pair of the Tyshawn lows and I absolutely love them. Great build and materials especially at the price point i was pleasantly surprised. I wanna see these in hand now too.

[@HMartindeCampo]

Those look very cool‼️‼️

[@harperexplores9349]

Have you seen the re-release of the kswiss SI-18? I think these retros of 90s skate- street style shoes are making another resonance in the market.

[@stylepoint1200]

I get compliments on this model more than any other sneaker I own....

[@johnnguyen1716]

didn't mention anything about the fit and sizing

[@bogdanpaunescu2650]

What model are the sneakers from 00.34-00.35 sec ? Thanks

[@buddlightyear8557]

Are these a cup or vulc sole?.

[@mrzack888]

These good for wide feet?

[@DMNDREG]

Good video, no extra laces on this pair?

[@PhoenixsWorldVideos]

nope I ran thru mine pretty fast while skating. had to replace them with some thin laces that weren't taped together when I went out the other week

[@kamarudinbujang1203]

The remake of adimatic brings back my teen memories… definitely cop for me…

[@glp626]

does your foot hurt after a day of walking in those shoes?

[@84goat28]

This type of style is coming back. I would cop

[@francisshot-gunn5519]

I remember these in 8th grade where the tuffest but zumiez only went up to a 12

[@ericfreeman5394]

Ive been getting looks and compliments from other skaters at the park when i wear them

[@underscrutinyallnight]

Hey Hes, I'm really interested in your opinion about the Orketro. Cheers!

[@AxHxNJ]

im just now learning about these, damn...

[@JohnDoe-md6cs]

Hey are these true to size. I usually wear a 9.5

[@dnbcone]

Run small dude real small

[@Wladislav]

The Green/White colourway they released first is actually a much more hype release than these. The Adimatic was/is huge in Japan. And yes, the originals look just like these.

[@dylives7667]

Those are part of the Atmos collab.

[@Wladislav]

@@dylives7667 The green pair is just a regular Adidas shoe. They released in Europe back in April. I think Atmos had dibs on the blue pair, though.

[@alexandercamargo2357]

Hello bro is tts or down or up , pleace

[@craigrowland5939]

Are these similar to the adidas beta trainer

[@owen7185]

These are a 1-1 match of the original Adimatic apart from the CW's. The midsole and laces, all identical

[@PhoenixsWorldVideos]

I got these after retiring my Accel OGs. Was drawn to them as they felt way more padded than everything - only found out after how significant these are after I'd already begun destroying them skating lmao.

[@bwanakidogo4844]

hey, would you recommend them as a skating shoe?

[@PhoenixsWorldVideos]

@@bwanakidogo4844 I like them as someone who likes soft 90s shoes, however I they are short supply which might not make them a sustainable choice. The shoe definitely doesnt feel like it was meant to be skated - the inside of the shoe is silky smooth iirc and feels like my foot will slide out - but it makes them very comfy. The laces and shape dont make it a very secure fitting shoe until youve really got them broken in. I think they have a kind of flared out rubber side, which feels maybe unstable but made for flicking my tricks great. I learned all my switch basics and skated consistent in them claiming they were like magic. (tho probly just cuz i needed new shoes). Also i rolled my ankle bad in them once off a 5 stair, and probably fractured my foot but i skated anyway. shoes were still comfy lol. CONCLUSION: Yeah they arent the best skate shoe but they work, mostly cool looking and comfy tho.

[@heliosf2080]

I see all those silhouettes in the intro but none of them are sambas.....

[@kevincollins8620]

Or Rod Laver. Dude doesn't do spezial adidas. Not his fault comfort and hype are his thing.

[@PrecYsely]

Just copped the Kith x Adidas Sambas, beautiful shoe

[@stevenairey3818]

These remind me of the adidas nrtn from back in the day

[@gregshanahan6766]

A nod to 90s skate culture very cool

[@dylives7667]

A nod? This is literally a retro! The model actually came out in the late 90's. Even Hes said it in the video. Were we watching the same thing?

[@gregshanahan6766]

@@dylives7667 I’m confused my friend I don’t remember Adidas skateboarding existing in the 90s. Perhaps you have information I am not privy to.

[@dylives7667]

@@gregshanahan6766 Jamal Smith did got to live that era. Who better to tell you about it than him? I mean, it was him who brought back The O'Reardon for that Palace collab. And that model was way more obscure.

[@gregshanahan6766]

Let’s take a Dennis busenitz model which is pretty much an updated samba with new technology for skateboarding. I dont look at it as them retroing anything because it is different. I’ve skated in sambas and busenitzs and the latter is far superior. I guess I don’t know who Jamal smith is though

[@InteractiveProducer]

These shoes already have a collab with Street brand, Neighborhood.

[@edwingatchalian2306]

I have this in 1997 to 2004 blue color

[@evolutional7135]

I just copped the human made one, tan/orange version

[@bigwrnrg]

I'm just trippin' out on how you tied your shoes. 😂😂😂

[@randomnpcmeme]

Adidas really made Jamal 1's

[@flymartian33]

They could of added the trifoil in the back and the tongue instead

[@Finesseccessary_]

Them harddddd

[@antoniomontana7856]

Looks like a DC sneaker

[@jampav33]

These would be awesome with an originals logo instead.

[@ankolbok7732]

Nice shoe verry Dope🔥👟👟

[@Sciencef1ction]

After this video I urge everyone to watch Jamal smith - tornado spin, you’ll thank me later

[@dylives7667]

And in case nobody knows who he is, he's the "I'm tight as fxck!" guy.

[@stylepoint1200]

Yessssss!!! They gon find out today!!!

[@normpaul8761]

OK LOL a lot people who watch this will have no idea but this shoe looks like a AIRWALK shoe , i think AIRWALK IS NOW SOLD AT JC PENNY

[@adlnes7338]

These are not new, they are from the 90’s

[@dylives7667]

Yes, it is very well established in the description.

[@cunnoni]

Did you watch the whole video, he definitely mentions that multiple times.

[@brens9143]

They just need to do something cool with the mid sole. Every version I see just looks a little bland in color way

[@denimbotany]

Could be a good alternative to the Lanvin Curb depending on future color ways. I like these a lot.

[@Zan____]

too bad its not world wide release...i think only Japan got it on S.E.A. market and the rest didn't

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

Nice

[@ColdSoul5150]

Trying to bring the fat skate shoes back. The shoes were big to keep your jncos from dragging the ground though.

[@dylives7667]

Just like when they tried to bring back the 90's flare with The O'Reardons, for 100 bucks, these are just not it. Appreciate these not being a Palace release which would had made them impossible to get, but still. It's also worth noting Atmos is pushing these as well with 3 more colorways. Though digging Adidas finally looking back into the skateboarding line, after being neglected for so long. And even better, by digging through the archives. Hopefully they'll dig deeper in the near future, as there are some gems in need of a comeback.

[@Dubl3R]

Fye

[@johnmcduggle4032]

Gonz/Supreme?!? He's, I'm SHOCKED!!!😱😱😱🤦‍♀️ Other Skaters have had entire CAPSULES.....You PROBABLY could stack EVERY 3 Stripes skate shoe against the Janoski, and it wouldn't be close....STOP .....

[@dylives7667]

What are you on about?

[@johnmcduggle4032]

@@dylives7667 the mere fact that Gonz has been on Adidas for DECADES...... He also has been on SUPREME..... One would think that the whole Adidas as a Lux Skateboard thing has been tried again and again...... The Janoski has had several iterations WITHOUT any collabs, but is more worn and iconic than Adidas's ENTIRE catalog.... Other than a Half Can, nothing is close.....

[@aryandabgotra]

Adidas sneakers are more practical than nike

[@ronw.simmsjr.362]

Definitely not a new model in case there’s any confusion

[@MrMRMatthewMateo]

Looks ok. Adidas never made a good skate shoe and I doubt this will change that. Don't like the triangles in the midsole. Looks kinda tribaly and faddy.

[@dylives7667]

_"Adidas never made a good skate shoe."_ So, we're just gonna ignore how Adidas actually got it right the first time unlike Nike with skateboarding and how the line has been going strong since the late 90's? OK.

[@MrMRMatthewMateo]

@@dylives7667 I'm talking 90's here and Adidas never got it right my man haha. They had shoes people used for skating but they were never designed for skating, and therefore fell apart (the Campus and the Gazelles) or skated terribly, like the Superstars. Nike was the exact same way.

[@jaybird634]

I skate but , wouldn't skate these . Thanks Hes
