Asics makes some really good shoes if it fits you... But I'm not so sure about those divided sole portion where the pinky toe is haha I guess it could give more grip...? But maybe too much grip in the right situation when you flick off the board and what not. Love how they moved the laces to the inside of the foot so they are away from where we rip them easy. Would make sense to make the big toe side part of the shoe meshy so it could breathe really well, too
You killed it also, those shoes look so dope I remember reading about the shoes being exclusive to Japan and I was so bummed out because I really wanted to try them out so hyped you got your hands on a pair. Also kick flip back Smith back 180 was lit.
bro even to this day YOUR EDITS ARE INSANE!!! i have been here since 2018 or earlier and i remember watching your videos and always LIKE EVERY TIME be amazed about how good the content quality feels. Be happy and keep doing flips!!!
That's going to be a hard no. I tie the laces on the inside near my sock, and fold the tongue over towards the inside over the knot of the laces... that way the tongue doesn't shift all over the place when I skate.
I remember only buying skate shoes that had inner lace loops. Then skate shoe companies changed style, and that got lost. Josh Kalis DC shoes have inner lace loops, Stevie Williams, Kenny Anderson v1, bam margera v2. I think even Joey b's adios were the same.
I think this started in snowboard boots and then transitioned to skate shoes. I remember lacing up my boots one time and thinking the technology they were using to prevent your edge from cutting your boot laces would be great for skate shoes... shortly after DC had shoes with internal lace loops.
If anyone remembers the old H-Street lace savers. They were true skater only shoes. They were like a half cab with laces but had a full flap that covered the whole laces from top to bottom. All suade with big flap that Velcro down. So good. Loved the old H-Street brand.
an asics shoe ive found to be really good for skating is the japan 2 model, easily found just on the asics website or even just shoe stores here, maybe give those a look at too!
I saw these, when they sent Markovich a few pairs. Wondered why I hadn’t seen them on anyone’s feet. JDM exclusive. They look like a lot of well thought innovations were put into the design.
Man finaly. Someone making a skate shoe used their brain and actually tried to 100% protect laces. All other shoes don't do this, so they can look more like other cool shoes.
I used the ASICS japan L the past year for skating and stuff and it was by far the comfiest hi top shoe I've worn. They were light weight and wayyyy tougher than any vans i used. Pretty cheap compared to other shoes too, 50 bucks for a pair
@@brandonsmith5488 yeah it's a problem with lots of skate shoes: fashion over function. That's what happens when you let huge mega corporations that are just about making money take over your footwear needs.
Anyone who's really good at skating is going to have to get new shoes constantly anyways. Sometimes "functionality" includes having the shoe deteriorate. This is because too much grip or hardness isn't the best for a proper flick on the grip tape. Sometimes comfort takes precedence over durability. Being comfortable and having board feel is more important to most people than a long lasting shoe that might be harder on your feet. Lots of factors involved and each skater is different. At the end of the day, the reality of a skater is that you'll constantly need new equipment and that's why sponsorship is so sought after.
U never know, one day they’ll arrive here. Chching$ Now I feel like skating curb. That manny pad was real nice, good height and smooth. I liked the tricks u were doing on it. I wish I had one like that in my driveway ✌️
Check: Gino iannucci and Chico Brenes (with the Chico Stix x Poets colab) on Steezy Skateboarding channel. Gino is skating in some black Asics. Now he's on Adidas, the Samba ADV in Gino's color way.
I like seeing a company push different ideas in skate shoes. I miss a lot of that from the late 90s and early 00s. I think these look cool and nice to see not just another Vans look a like.
Shoes over in Asia are different, all they wanted was D3’s when I was there.. these shoes here are ugly, Looks nice wherever you are though. I’m on the land of snow and ice
If you ever want something shipped from japan my brother works on a military base and can ship stuff for the same price it costs to ship state to state. Even big orders. I would pay at first and then you could venmo me after you receive it if your interested. Not a scam or any of that bull just a fan that would hook a brother up if you were ever interested!! I can get you anything you would want!!! 🤙🙌
If You Believe In Your Heart That Jesus Died On The Cross And Rose again On The Third Day And Confess With Your Mouth That Jesus Is Lord then you will be saved
Just letting you know the person who is running that used to run the nike sb program his name is kasper. It’s not exclusive to Japan. They are sold here in Portland. Nice try with your title buddy boy 😊

This is a indoor soccer spike reinvented into a skate shoe and I love the look

The shoes remind me of a soccer cleat. the way the laces go off to the side.
The tongue is what Adidas should have done with the Busenitz
you can fold the busenitz tongue, that's how I wear sambas
That's going to be a hard no.

Crook to Back smith was craaaazy
Loving the videos lately John, your skating & videography is so satisfying to watch
dude holy shit that kf smith 180 was sick lol love the vids too

Damn those shoes look dope.
Takuya ishizuka from Erased's gang is sponsored by ASICS I think! They seem to suit you brother
Nollie backside suski shuv out was beautiful
I love ASICS. This is so cool. Always wanted to see a skate version of their shoes. Thanks for the post.
Been watching this guy progress daily since 2016. Salute bro🏆🏆🏆
Kickflip back smith was juiced
The best part of these videos are the skating montage… dude should make a skate video with just him ripping

Those shoes are super dope. Love em.
New camera recently? damn clean crispy footage bro
Those fakie suskis were so rad.
I saw these, when they sent Markovich a few pairs. Wondered why I hadn’t seen them on anyone’s feet. JDM exclusive. They look like a lot of well thought innovations were put into the design.
What is your playlist you use the skate sections
I want to try a pair!
How do you work out in a collared shirt lol
People work out in polos all the time
these videos have been so nice recently (not saying the others are bad)👍🏾 feel like i’m watching a film
I really like those shoes. I wish they sell it here. I would definably get them. Like the style.
Idk but I really enjoyed this video. It’s like an evolved John. Him just being him without talking to the camera
I remember meeting the ASICS team manager in Japan when these 1st came out. Happy to see them get a highlight to the US audience
Man finaly. Someone making a skate shoe used their brain and actually tried to 100% protect laces. All other shoes don't do this, so they can look more like other cool shoes.
John hill is so damn good
The lace protectors should be standard across all brands
Shoes looks good on you man! Crook to back smith. You’re too good. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I’m surprised you didn’t skate on that weird pyramid they got that can be fun
Saw asic skate shoes a while ago and really want some, couldn’t find them though
love the futsal look on the skate shoe, theyre reminiscent of the total 90 zoom indoors, anyone ever skate sambas? lol
Love this bro so good video from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I used the ASICS japan L the past year for skating and stuff and it was by far the comfiest hi top shoe I've worn. They were light weight and wayyyy tougher than any vans i used. Pretty cheap compared to other shoes too, 50 bucks for a pair
Great song too
This was such a cool style of video, felt like I was a ghost following you around and watching you skate 😅
Indoor soccer shoe. Pretty close
Them Asics are saucy as hell.
I think the shoelace tongue thing has been a thing since ASICS made wrestling shoes
I saw the vinland saga volumes in the back I love that series you should make another manga vid
phone call with nobody?
Wow so incredibly cool thanks Johnny hill
So hyped for the us shoes!!
when you flip into a smith, you must dip it
i say dip it
dip it good!
great video. I like the new style
anyone know any japan online shops selling these? or ones like em?
Please tell me the name of the song in the start of the vid
The design looks absolutely sick 🔥
These look awesome 😮
Love to See u skate
I might think about getting them now. Thx for trying it out for us
how come you never saw this kind of lace system before? Shits been around for a long time
videos that you don't have to talk about a topic are better in my opinion for example this one was really cool really liked it keep killing It John :)
what a goofy looking shoe. We have basics here in PH, didn't know it was a japanese brand
Looks like an indoor soccer shoe lmao i like the concept but it could definitely look better
What's the song?
Good video
I would like a pair to try
Those don't look like they are built for long term skating in mind, even if one finds them stylish.
Yeah they do
I don’t think any modern day shoe is “built for long term”
Whut. Have you seen 90% of skate shoes

Am i the only person that names my shoes? Right now im rockin the brown k swiss court pro 2's I lovingly call "Carmel" i love these girls
love ur vids bro keep it up
They look amazing
man i really want to have just like half your bag of ledge tricks...haha, working on it
My bad they weren't H-Street they were Airwalk. Original Airwalk.
Honestly it’s hard to incorporate new design features into shoes without doing too much. I low key like this shoe even if it is doing a lil too much.
Put the damn song in the description
Yoo are you a goofy skater sick and why haven't I subbed yet I've been watching you videos for a while
U never know, one day they’ll arrive here. Chching$
Now I feel like skating curb. That manny pad was real nice, good height and smooth. I liked the tricks u were doing on it. I wish I had one like that in my driveway ✌️

Hey John hill love the videos keep up the grind!
Cool shoe if it can stand a session of John skating they might be a durable shoe.
raw footy no music is much better honestly
Great shoes 👟
i thought this was gonna be like a real review
Skate shoes will be lame until they have a wider more natural toe box.
There is NO Telegram, John Hill. Wrong Space, Scammers.

Heck yeh. I wonder if they use Japanese maple to make the boards.
stop showing all these shoes, i want them all
Who works out in there clothes that there already wearing,sooo weird 😂😂😂
Lol, it takes a non skate brand to finally come up with a design that works… hope it’s not patented and others follow this example
what happened to your eyebrows bro ?

R u good?
I been wondering how those things skated
Nope
