World Industries Is Back

Yay I think I figured out how to turn back on comments.

@@noficannabis420 yup just had that talk with someone else. My bad.

[@tinystar3010]

I was recommended this video because I've been looking up random shoes from nostalgia, Jordan's, Adidas, etc., and saw the World Industries return title. I was always into skateboarding growing up but never had the opportunity to learn or skate anywhere but I'd wear World Industries alot. I was actually surprised by this video and I honestly learned so much from you. I didn't realize how many shoes skaters go through or how fast. I was stunned you said the Nikes barely survived 7 weeks. But as an adult, my references made me think of drifting cars, and how often drifters by tires so that makes sense. Also I never knew insoles could get that expensive! I would have guessed like 10 to 20 max. Came here to see what was up with World Industries but left with even better knowledge that I enjoyed even more.

[@CpSkates]

I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Skater usual struggle with shoes a bit. As a kid I woukd wear my left one out fast and that a friends left one. Wasn't uncommon to find me in 2 different brands and colors. Professions go through them in a couple of days usually. My insoles are only that expensive because they are medical. Your never to old to start skating or at least to track down some nice kicks lol.

[@tinystar3010]

Oh ok, didn't realize they were medical insoles. I did look some up and was stunned how expensive they get. Made me wonder if people couldn't just 3D print insoles for cheaper using stronger materials. And yeah going through shoes as a consumable makes alot of sense. It's basically sandpaper grinding down thin fabrics. Just never clicked in my mind as a youth lol But definitely very similar to going through tires drifting and almost as costly sometimes. Definitely valued the knowledge I gained.

[@CpSkates]

@tinystar3010 I'm glad to hear you leaned something man. I'm not sure about the insole though, that would be cool to see. Thankfully my shoes are not as much as tire though. I'm a mechanic and work with a bunch for drifters for specialized alignments. I was laughing because the last guy I worked with had a BMW and wanted to follow other people's set up. I convinced him to go with my numbers before buying more parts. Came back a few days later and said it slid great. Few weeks later he installed the parts anyways dropped camber another 5°. Went from a set of tires every 6 passes to ever one.

[@tinystar3010]

Lol yeah that sounds typical of beginners, instead of taking advice from a mechanic who has experience seeing everyone elses setups, they'd rather still do their own thing. Getting 6 passes from one set of tires is a phenomenal setup efficiency! But hey, it's his money I suppose lol

[@CpSkates]

@tinystar3010 for sure.

[@dathotbox]

Uses to rock some World Industries shoes probably like 14 years ago now. They always had em for cheap at the local shoe store which later stocked Blind shoes which were pretty similar

[@CpSkates]

I've been enjoying them more and more. Blind shoes sound cool.

[@haroldcampos9661]

That was a badass story! The world shoes look kinda sick. I prefer cupsoles when doing flips, I flick with my ankle. And like the toebox feel more than vulc. Also I have an arch but I always try to keep it flat before jumping, even the pop comes from a low heel. My feet get tired in the plantar fascia, works like a rubber band under your foot, but there's not any muscle connected to that at all. I can't say I fully get it, but I have my own understanding from balancing on a flatbar. My understanding is based on the skateboard, and what it can help or not help do. Steering is an important one in general. How do you control a rubber band? lol. Also I had a problem putting the ball of my foot down on the big toe. And it's more difficult than it can seem. One exercise that works for me is you put your feet shoulder length apart, pointed perfectly forward, flat heel on floor is fine for stability...now get a kettle bell (I've only used my skateboard haha) and controlledly swing it side to side around your hips or wherever your arms reach. This should engage your arch and put the inner ball down. Now I said it before, I still bail on heels never forefoot or outer edge. Man that insole story was rad though! Thanks for sharing and cool mohawk, keep shredding dude! Also 5-stairs is already danger for me!

[@CpSkates]

Thanks man I appreciate the time you put into your comments. The insoles have been a big change in my life. I still feel the soreness after work, and after skating but really no pain during. After skating the shoes for a few sessions now they feel great on the sole side. Everything else has deffently been a challenge. I hope I can avoid dancers toe, don't need a 2nd foot problem hindering me.

[@haroldcampos9661]

​@@CpSkates It's cool as hell that you can do sports in the hallux reinforced insoles. Is that what it's called? By dancers toe what are you referring to? It's kinda vague, do you mean like turf toe? Why would you get that? Generally, I find best care for any toe is a roomy toebox. Snug fitting shoes and sports is a bad idea. It's the same effect as when you jam your finger on a basketball, if you can remember ever doing that. It might not be painful but it is damaging. I'm experiencing some reversing of this type of damage myself, too. And yeah, some cupsoles shoes are stiff at first, that might be a good sign. Lift the insole and poke under the footbed/last to feel the inside of the cupsole. Push down with thumb and see if it dents and reveals a empty but flexible lattice structure (like an ice cube tray) or a stiff midsole foam. Notice if it has this foam under your heel and forefoot areas of the shoe. That foam is good. Skate shoes typically are zero-drop, usually minimal arch support if any like the nb# 480 (has some arch support), but dunks and jordan 1s only have midsole near the heel, I think. Sb dunks have beefy forefoot area though, lots of rubber and no lattice poking thru. Less foot fatigue, by a long shot! Non-pro vans classics are also the only vulc shoe with midsole foam. Pro vans use only a thick insole which is fine sometimes, except that in this case packs down too much for impact. Just for looks and comfort, in my opinion. But maybe easier for you to get your custom one in there, plus duracap is cool. Changing the original insoles out is always an option with skate shoes. The basic classic vans' midsoles are glued in but you can remove those too as needed, if needed. My bane is landing primo, then nursing my shit back to health.

[@CpSkates]

@haroldcampos9661 Dancers toe is planter fasciitis. Doctors refer to it that way because when it was named the only people who had it were ballerinas. The would spend careers on the tips of there toes. Lol. I never put much thought in the shoes I was wearing or the boards I was riding. Recently i heard Tom Asta and Kelly Heart talking about how very specific there set ups are. According to them the reason is as they get older they need those things to be perfect to skate at the same level with less effort. That made me start to think about things like that more. So If I loose a handful of tricks in these shoes, but gain dozens more than I'm ok with that trade off.

[@haroldcampos9661]

@@CpSkates Sorry for all the edits and moving text around haha. The reality of writing but sometimes its better to fix everything up nicer. I get ya now, I have that constantly! I stretch it n warm up my fascia haha! And yea older guys above our thirties have to be strategic. We frequently splurge on the nice cupsole shoe for our health. And to skate several days in a row without leg fatigue. If you grew up skating only vulc you can still run whatever insole works best for you personally. I run sb dunks only. Xtended Wear insoles swap. I skate an 8.00" board with 7.75" trucks most days, 52mm wheel. It's light and flips fast. If I was a slappy lord I'd probably run something wider with more truck.

[@CpSkates]

@haroldcampos9661 I think I finally dedicated to 8.5 inch. 8.25 truck, but I do want to change them out soonish for 8.5 hollow. 56 mm wheels. So my board is bigger and heavier, but I've only had maybe 10- 15 flip tricks at one time. I've always been better at 360 and shuv tricks. So I hope my future can include some tech tricks but focused more around what we've seen in the 90s and early 2000s. Like front shuv nose grinds.

[@togzor]

when I used to skate everyday I would use hot glue and an ice cube to spread glue where I flick on my shoe since it won't stick to the ice

[@CpSkates]

Not a bad idea. They actually came with a patch, I was deffiently surprised. I haven't seen shoes do that in a long time. I'll need another pair soon, 800 Tre flip tries burnt them out quick.

[@curtislinden9297]

havent skated in years, randomly on my algorithm... couldnt turn It off. classic KZbin shit. good stuff

[@CpSkates]

Thanks man. I haven't changed with the times much. Not a huge fan of screaming and acting up.

[@Wavytmt]

I'm pretty sure the Janoski was the most sold skate shoe of all time! Plus if you watched the video of him talking about the shoe, he totally made that shoe for function, not for style! He stripped all the tech that Nike was trying to add to skate shoes.

[@CpSkates]

I wasn't referencing one specific show, from him as a designer. I have deffiently seen some designs that look sick and others I wasn't a fan of. Same thing with the base nikes, I like the placement of the stitching the most. I've never been a sneaker head in or out of skating. Did his shoe surpass the Half Cabs?

[@crimes2]

Janakaoski is a crazy way to pronounce the OGs name …

[@CpSkates]

Why is it pernouce a different way?

[@crimes2]

@ as far as I know for the passed 20 years or so he’s pronounced it “Juh-Now-Skee” could be different but definitely sounded like you added more to it when you said it.

[@CpSkates]

@@crimes2 I deffiently did. I swear I heard everybody else say jana. But I've never actually heard him say it. If I hear the person say there name I'll usually pernouce it that way.

[@crimes2]

@ I know he recently did a story about the Janoski not too long ago. But I been hearing it as Janoski ever since like 2000 .

[@CpSkates]

@crimes2 Now that you say it, it sounds right. I don't get to talk to a lot of people about skating besides myself lol. I feel like that's how my one friend said it to me a couple months ago when he told me he only skates his shoes and it stuck. Good catch lol. I've watched his parts but I don't think talking pieces on him a lot so maybe my brain just added in some spaces.

[@xavierrivera9130]

They just released a full length video last year I think or earlier this year for the first time in like 15-20 years

[@CpSkates]

I'll have to check that out. I'm curious who's on the team.

[@stonedan0]

I had a pair of world industries shoes in the early 2000's. Loved Rodney, flame boy and wet willy. But, they just didn't grip the board or have any board feel. I was surprised by my disappointment.

[@CpSkates]

I've been figuring then out more and more. wWhat you don't see in this video if the fact I did 5 crooks in a row the day before and it took 300 tries that day. I foot just kept sliding right off the nose on the Ollie.

[@haroldcampos9661]

@@CpSkates The rubber isn't soft enough to grip, happens to a lot of low-end cupsole skate shoes. Sometimes it's not the tread pattern causing the issue. The compound of the rubber they use just isn't good for skateboarding. Circa, DVS, they all suffered from this exact problem frequently enough. Vulcanizing makes very grippy shoes consistently with ease and low costs, but they wear a bit faster. The heat exposure changes the material slightly to be less abrasion resistant. Not bad, but not great.

[@CpSkates]

@@haroldcampos9661 the rubber actually feel good, there has been a few times I've fallen because the shoe sticks like gum. The only issue I seem to have was since the band of the sole is so big that contacts the grip rather than the suede. Of course stupid me did 300 of them before I decided to move my foot back about 1.5 inches. The second session they were feeling good again.

[@apealeal3973]

Just put super glue on your laces. It will harden them and make them really gard to rip once they dry

[@CpSkates]

I've been thinking of different ideas, to help me and double as a video. Like paracord or leather cord.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I know there's a company that is releasing some of the OG world industries stuff. My local has a tee with the old school logo. They did have a cap as well, but it's gone now. I wanted to get the tee, but it's white (so will wreck it) and also is pretty expensive. I reckon I'll wait and see if the price comes down on it, or get it in a month with fewer outgoings. Go a full set up to build this month, so probably not a great time to be buying an expensive t-shirt.

[@CpSkates]

Yea I much rather the shoes lol. I'm a mechanic and a skater so I'm banned from white. I would also check market place maybe someone has some OG stuff on the cheap.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Lol rip lakai

Yea I just seen they are having issues again. I long for the days searching through ccs and active ride shop for deals.

[@Zephyrian1st]

@CpSkates so many off rand shoes tried to fill the cheap margin bracket. Also idk if u mentioned are the worlds cup sole?

[@Zephyrian1st]

I would assume , but ya never know

[@CpSkates]

@@Zephyrian1st I've never been a big shoe guy outside of my personal preferences. So I'm not going to lie I just did some quick research and no they are not cup sole. I listing I found also spoke about the last time the company sold in 2014. In not sure if they have always been vulc or were previously cup sole.

[@Zephyrian1st]

interesting, I would have thought it would be an old DC mold and design just retailed to budget market potentially. Cool find none the less, def a show off piece

[@tonicandsails]

i skate with insoles and adidas but those shoes looks so dope im gonna trash that sole tho

[@CpSkates]

They are pretty dope.

[@xanielton.714]

Es and emerica have really good shoes for any budget.they have really good stuff and both have a sale/ clearance section on there website. 🤙

[@CpSkates]

I feel like I can't go back now lol. I was filming a new long form video and I switch back to the orange Nikes for more board feel. It literally felt like I was bare foot on the board. Landed the trick though.

[@xanielton.714]

@ ah ok ok ha. You should check it out once in a while though and es keeps it original till this day . Etnies is really good too for budget I believe these companies are the brothers and sisters but not to sure

[@CpSkates]

I'm no sure if they are brother and sister companies. Maybe just made from the same manufacturer. I do like that when Es went out of business and later sold it was to some of the team riders.

[@cybersaurus2199]

W.I. might be back but they are owned by a corporate acquisition firm. They are hoping on the nostalgia for the brand to sustain it but it's basically Walmart quality stuff.

[@CpSkates]

Right after that video went live a where are they now video popped up. I had no idea they sold to a big over seas company back in 2014. I also don't think I've been in a shoe store since 2012. I will say though I don't believe they will last as long as the Nikes, but 4 weeks/ 20 sessions isn't that bad.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

Somebody telling me they've never *skated eS sounds like a crime. They ran the game from their team to their product quality.

[@CpSkates]

I do want to try them. It always just came down to what I could afford. Past few years I could skate any brand, but before that it was what ever I could get for 20$ and under. So I'll see what's on discount soon. lol

[@viracocha03]

Im 40 and just got back into skating 2 years ago, haven't skated es shoes since I was young but that was ALL I skated until I stopped skating at 19. The Etnies Windrow are my favorite shoe I have skated since I started skating again and I have skated like 6 different brands.

[@CpSkates]

@viracocha03 After skating these for about a month I don't want to switch. Kickflips are still a little bit weird but consistent. The big upside for me is the wide shoes and I will stomp anything because primo doesn't hurt.

[@viracocha03]

@@CpSkates Yeah, primo's are no fun in the Etnie Windrow, that's for sure. lol. Its funny, now that I'm older I prefer the smaller shoe as opposed to when I grew up all we wore were the wide big shoes. All that matters in the end is what feels best for us personally tho. I skate just to have fun this time around so im willing to give up some "ability" for comfort or ease as long as it makes me feel better while I skate. Appreciate the reply. Also, that "shed" is such a great idea and I cannot believe I never thought of that. It does pose a problem now tho because next spring I'm building a very large shed that was to become my upgraded wood shop but now you got me thinkin of my own indoor skate park. Would be great considering I live in Nova Scotia and our weather is ridiculous.

[@CpSkates]

@viracocha03 my wood shop is next door lol. It's not that big. For what it is at least. 8ft by 27ft

[@multitablez7825]

I got some old school DVS shoes. There is nothing better. They last 5 x longer than the crappy shoes they make now. Look at how thin the new style is. They last a month. Old school shoes were better. "Board feel" is just a cope out so shoe companies saved money on production

[@CpSkates]

I'm sure that's definitely a part of it. I know most skaters now have fallen in love with bored feel. At first I really dislike them just because I had to learn all the little tweaks to my tricks. And well I can't really aim a flick of a kickflip that's not straight like to get into backside grinds. The exchange was a lot more confidence to stomp tricks that I otherwise was nervous to do. So tomorrow I actually go to pick up a new pair

[@melwood9630]

Ja now ski lol that's how u say it

[@CpSkates]

Your not the first one. I don't script any of my talking pieces, so sometimes I mess things up lol.

[@brokedownsuperman]

Are you skating in a shipping container?

[@CpSkates]

I would if I could they are bigger and cheaper lol. No I built the building.

[@SkaterPoopyPants]

Those insole sound like a major rip off 500 plus dollars for some foam and plastic hopefully they actually work for you but like clearly the leather ones you had as a kid were much better not surprised with how screwed up america is with health care gotta turn your arch problem into a subscription fee/ returning cost somehow can't actually give someone a good product nah screw that

[@CpSkates]

I'll will agree with you in some aspects of that. When I went to prosthetics place I asked how long a pair lasted and they told me about 7 years. Of course comparing that to a pair I had for 10 years it was a rip off. I'm sure the high cost is because of all the fancy tech they used to scan my legs and back. After wearing them for a few years the pain has been drastically cut down. There was a point I considered going on partial disability where I would work 20 hours a week. I felt that wasn't right if I still wanted to skate. These can keep me on my feet for about 12 hours before I need to rest. It's a mix of comfort and durability. I do want to try FP shoes because the out sole takes away impact, but they are pricey.

[@phizbee199]

i stole a pair of my stepdads pair of world indurstires, ive skated and worn them for i think 3 years until theyve fallen apart, i recomend them

[@CpSkates]

3 years that's a insane amount of time.

[@ronaldoravelo6107]

If you had a touch more speed you’d land your tricks so much cleaner bro, trust. Your skating is good tho bro

[@CpSkates]

Thanks man. The speed thing is a bit tricky in the mini park. The floor is like ice and going fast means when you land you need to brace for impact lol.

[@PeepGamePopoff]

Those are deadstock from the early 2000s they are nowhere near being new you got lucky finding those tbh

[@CpSkates]

They actually aren't dead stock. They truly are new. They actually had 5 different color ways to pick from and hundreds of stock boxes. When I made the video i didn't realize they sold in 2014 to a bigger company. So we don't see them in the skate world anymore, but still live and well in shoe stores. I just haven't been in a shoe store in about 12 years. Lol
