Those gum/foam griptapes stop working when they are dusty (which is very usual), wear out faster than a usual griptape, do not have grip with suede (only with outsoles and depends on their material). I do not recommend it, but if you're fine cleaning your grip all the time then maybe you'll like them. They save shoes for very long time.
Yeah, it gets real dirty, but i just carry a wash rag with me when i go out and skate and you just have to dampen it with water then rub the grip, boom, problem solved. (:
That ain't foam grip tape that's DKL non abrasive griptape and foam is usually thicker not paper thin but if you want some shock absorbent griptape then you can look at undergrip is your usual griptape but thicker
You know for all the times I've been watching christian, he still never cease to amaze me with hes videos. Much love and hope you land that trick man. 🤘
I used to skate back in high school. 20 years later my daughter got a board now I am back into it. I destroyed my shoe laces in one day. I'm 38 now it i forgot how good if feels to skate.
I have new mob grip and it teared my shoes in 1 day and 3 days and theres almost a hole in my other leather shoes so i might put a little bit of water on my sk8board so its still grippy but like less so it doesnt ruin my shoes so fast
preventative maintenance is the best way to make your shoes last. before you ever skate your shoes super glue the stitching in the wear areas. and youll be fine for awhile then once you start wearing a hole i just dab a dot of shoe goo in that area every day so its not globbed on and and you just dont wear the hole bigger. if you keep up with that then you can skate them for at least 2 months. laces just a drop of super glue on the wear spot of the lace so it doesnt tear down the material. what terrain you skate make your shoes wear differently too, transition and skate parks wear down your shoes less than skating street. i work on my switch just as much as my regular stance so my board and my shoes wear evenly.
Christian can u review the dkl grip tape it’s the rubber grip tape however I gotta follow the instructions where u don’t sand before cut once and then cut again sand it and skate it with brand new shoes so then it’ll be like a 2 in 1 review shoe and grip tape review
@@doloresberry3144 You can still do flips with jessup. It's just what you are used to. Nyjah said once that he skates mob but sands it down bc it doesn't work for him. if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me. And I can skate my shoes for longer.
uhh it’s not a skateshoe more of a lifestyle shoe inspired from the ave pro but I’d like to see how well it does for skating too. although I’m skeptical of the mesh or knit material they use, I don’t think there’s duracap under nor is reinforced in high wear areas.
Its so sad because i want to watch this but the sound quality on some of the vids is just way to sharp. You really need to invest in a new mic or something
This was not a good video. Every idea to make them last longer was pretty much debunked right after. This and the actual reviews are turning more into self advertising than anything. The reviews are the reason of your success. Please focus more on that again. The laces are cool and all but no need to mention them 3 times every damn video😅
Gotcha mane. And yeah I say the good parts about them and the bad things about them. That’s the point. You decide what you think about em. And hell yeah my laces are amazing! Lol. Thanks G 👊
@@christianflores I'm pretty sure you know what I mean🙃 There still are plenty of unreviewed (well good reviews at least) out there like the Westgate New Balance, Adidas Copa Nationale, Nike Grant Taylor Blazer, Etnies Marana Slip XLT, Trucks, Decks and so on. Or try getting some smaller shoe brand on your laces. Footprint shoes with actual FP insoles and your laces would be dope! Maybe Axion, I don't know. This message is way too long anyway 😅
I got to give him props for at least doing the video before promoting his own stuff at the end. But it did kind of feel like it was all a set up to get you to buy his laces. I will say that I used to hate shoe goo until I learned how to properly use it. I think a proper tutorial would have made this video a lot better.

Nice thanks for the info

@@thefadedchef repeat every 15 minutes and wait each time for the grip to dry... no, thanks, I have enough of that.
@@TheFeatalion in most cases it doesn’t really take too long to dry. the grip dries after about thirty seconds lol.

why does christian only have 60k subs he’s so underrated. this is literally the number 1 shoe review channel in the world
U must’ve not watched kickgenius back in the day that was the best shoe review channel
He's gonna blow up one day, it just takes time to get the exposure..
I just realized he only has 60k I’ve been subbed to Christian since 30k
Been wondering that since I found his channel
Idk man. One day. Until then. Slow steady climb.
I really like how you're shooting talking segments of your videos while out and about in-between skating.
Thanks mane. I will keep doing it ! 🚀
dude you are legit the best skate creator. you dont get enough attention you need so much more than this.
You know for all the times I've been watching christian, he still never cease to amaze me with hes videos. Much love and hope you land that trick man. 🤘
Thanks dude. And I need to wait for my foot to hear is hurts super bad.
wow christian went to go skate again by himself for like an hour and a half that was a bad idea if i landed it it would have been a good idea
Haha. Thanks G
I used to skate back in high school. 20 years later my daughter got a board now I am back into it. I destroyed my shoe laces in one day. I'm 38 now it i forgot how good if feels to skate.
I'd like to see your review on the etnies marana slip xlt. Great video as always!
I can’t believe you only have 60k you deserve everything good that is coming to you man I love your vids
Thanks G 👊 we will get there.
Hi man, can you test the adidas tyshawn low next video please ? Amazing work as always, keep doing, it will pay
Hello could you perhaps review the new nike sb force 58? Id be interested in you opinion on them! Keep up the great content:)
i just got some rubber grip actually, works really good. finally able to skate my dunks xD (p.s i think i’m kinda early 🤝)
Nice you are and cool.
Congratulations on 60k🤙
Thank you my guys 👊💕🚀
I have new mob grip and it teared my shoes in 1 day and 3 days and theres almost a hole in my other leather shoes so i might put a little bit of water on my sk8board so its still grippy but like less so it doesnt ruin my shoes so fast
what part of my shoe do I do tricks with like the side or the soles or what cause they rip way too fast I don’t know why I do 2 ollies and it rips
I'd still love those prod dunks even after you been skating em hard !
You should make a review on one of the shoes from the new vans vtg lineup
Here in Venezuela whe use silicon bars, just put some and that works for weeks 👍👍:)

Hi Christian! Can you review the vans wayvee please!
Could you open your shipping to Europe and the uk on your laces
10 seconds into the first vid ive watched and u win a subscrib
Christian can u review the dkl grip tape it’s the rubber grip tape however I gotta follow the instructions where u don’t sand before cut once and then cut again sand it and skate it with brand new shoes so then it’ll be like a 2 in 1 review shoe and grip tape review
Maybe but I really don’t want too lol.
Feels like I’d be wasting a board.
@@christianflores very valid point however aren’t u sponsored by 3 block
@@christianflores you wouldn’t be. It’s great content for your Channel. You can actually give an unbiased opinion. Try it for at least 2 weeks.
Can you make a lakai carroll review next? :)
Bro idk but those dunks look way better skated in my opinion
There is the sweet spot of the shoes where they are skated, worn and look best but not completely annihilated just yet
Lol yeah! Lol
Review the vans skate sport pls🙏🏽
Congrats on 60k, also SB Force 58 review incoming? 😉
Hahah. Maybe. Idk what that is.
@@christianflores it got released less than a week ago and it is basically a remodelled dunk which is affordable. Its going to be my next pair.
@@Rain-sq5lg They look hard as a rock around the mid sole
Have this interaction as a token of gratitude, all hail the algorithm, but mostly all hail Cardiel.
Lol. Nice. Thanks dude.
I didnt like shoe goo so or anything so i superglued the rubber sole of an old shoe onto my skate shoes where i do ollies so it dont wear down as much
Nice. Good idea.
video 59 asking for a review of the gilbert crockett vans
just skate jessup, you can skate with tissues on your feet and they wont break for like 9 years
Na. There's this thing i like to be able to do called "flip tricks"..
@@doloresberry3144 You can still do flips with jessup. It's just what you are used to. Nyjah said once that he skates mob but sands it down bc it doesn't work for him. if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me. And I can skate my shoes for longer.
@@SUB0SCORION impossible. Mob is the only real grip. Scientists have proven mob makes you 50% better at flip tricks.
@@doloresberry3144 only thing mob does is steal 50% of your cash, i switched to Jessup for the first time and deadass doesn't make a difference
Lol. I do skate Jess up
hey Christian can you mabye do at review on the Lakai Cambridge?
Got some.
@@christianflores thanks :)
My laces just came in 🥳
Nice. Have fun breaking them in!
Is there a way to prevent laces from ripping?
Super glue or shoe goo
you should review the Tyshawn lows
I've skated the mids and loved them!
Please start shipping those laces to CANADA
Are u ever going to do international shipping? 😔❤
Maybe. Gotta figure it out.
Wow, Christian went to go skating by himself for like an hour and a half
Lol. Yup I forgot I did that.
can you try the vans evdnt ultimatewaffle please?
uhh it’s not a skateshoe more of a lifestyle shoe inspired from the ave pro but I’d like to see how well it does for skating too. although I’m skeptical of the mesh or knit material they use, I don’t think there’s duracap under nor is reinforced in high wear areas.
@@antares9994 if you look on their website they actually say that it's more durable and overall better for skating
mate, at convenience test the lining Erik Ellington......................
rubber grip
Make it so we outside of usa can actually buy these laces please
I might but I need to figure out that shipping situation.
@@christianflores yes please i dont mind paying an extra 5 bucks for shipping if it means i save 30 bucks on laces
I skate abrasive dkl griptape that does t wear my shoes
Nice. How that go?
@@christianflores I haven’t bought new shoes in 3 months
Wow.....
A extend warranty
These shoes I bought are mad expensive and I fucked em up and now I don’t wanna wear em in public cause there that fucked 😢
Definitely only wear them when skating. If you always wear them they will break down fast.
Early gang wya?,?!
👊
Soon can you do the vans skate era or the adidas superstar skate Vulc adv ( ˘ ³˘)
Meanwhile i trying to make a hole on my switch side shoe..
Yeah I remember doing that too lol.
wow christian really went to go skate a gap by himself for like an hour, that was a bad idea
Bro doesn't recommend the whole video
Its so sad because i want to watch this but the sound quality on some of the vids is just way to sharp. You really need to invest in a new mic or something
Got you I will next video. 👊💕
“Tras was a bad idea “
Lol yes.
Test some cheaper "regular shoe store" skate shoes like Vans Seldan, for the poor folk like me.
Sounds like you’re more concerned with looking cool than the functionality of the products.
1 shoe 1000 videos
The shoe cost 1200 bucks. Ima get my moneys worth out of it.
Early
How not to ruin your skate shoes
Don't skate them 😂
Shoot. I should have started with that. Lol
@@christianflores 🥰❤️
if you landed it woul be sick
