Skate shoes getting more expensive to the point where getting Nike's on sale is the best option for me
Hahah. Pretty much. These are way too crazy.
to be fair, skate shoes have always been "expensive", if you disagree then you need to get a job.
@@FriendxANah stuff used just be cheaper anyone telling themselves theyve always been expensive are just delusional and getting an ego boost off of their job these companies be selling you literally the same crap for years with cheaper and cheaper materials and hike the price up every so often for no other reason than profit you having job doesn't mean jack shoes are still expensive
@@FriendxAWhat...? I've been wearing vans slips for over 20 years as my regular chiller. They used to be $35-40, now they're $55-60. Es accels og are $80+, I was buying them for $50 in 2002. The accel plus was $60. That was one of the more "expensive" shoes until Nike came along. Almost every shoe in the early 00s was around $50. Shoes these days on average are $90. There's no reason a simple emerica should be $80. The og janoski is back and it's literally $95. They were $55 when they came out. They were priced like vans because they're just a rip of vans.
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise dunks were 65 and discounted to 40.. in 2002.. everything is 25% increased in 20 + years.. sadly.. Janoski came out in 2009 and were 70/75.. but you could get everything on sale.. Muska were 100$ in late 90s.. its not about Nike
Subscribed and thank you for the AVE 2.0 First Impressions video
Thanks dude. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on these vs the rowan 2s
That’s so weird because I had the Rowan’s and had same “something is poking my foot” feeling!
Yeah it sucks because I think it will skate super good but this is hurtful and annoying. makes me not want to skate lol
I had that same feeling every time I tried the Janoskis. Never understood why people liked those so much.
@@driftlessskater5475 its super lame
I have this issue on the joint of my toe with like 90% of vans. It sucks, always makes me super limited on their choices. I can usually do half cabs and the chukkas without pain. Otherwise the rest usually kill me
I have this going on right now with a pair of Kyle Walker 1s, but they're a size 8 and I usually wear 7.5s (in most brands) or sometimes 7s if they fit big or tend to bag out. That half size too big makes the insole press the stitching into my foot in a really fking awkward spot. 🫣
I always skip the lowest set of lace eyelets when lacing my skating shoes. It helps reduce pressure on the top of the foot. I don’t know how effective it would be on that particular shoe, but based on what you’re saying, I’d personally start out skipping the first two sets.
I actually did this with the previous Ave shoes and it made a huge difference
I so want to ride and skate with Vans. But that fore-foot pressure that you pointed out is a deal breaker. Glad I found your site and yes... subscribed!
Please keep skating em and do the full review! Ive been super interested in these, even if they are hella expensive and feel like something is pinching your foot 😅
Maybe but I’m not really trying to do it.
@christianflores bahah that's fair... can they magically shrink a few sizes and you just shoe drop em over my way to Vancouver, Canada, then? Haha. 😜 Mad props on the videos lately man, you're killing it and your skating is looking clean! 🤟
These videos are starting to look crispy 👍🏽
Thanks G!
@1:05 Yes I have the same issue. They might have to break in more. All I know is all my other AVEs were perfect from the start, no break in needed. I do like these new 2.0 versions and I hope vans comes out with more colors like the og AVE.
You are the only shoe reviewer I actually trust 👍
Nice sounds good 👍
I mean thank you.
La Colonia is such a fun park! I feel like it's always empty but has great lines.
I'd like to give these a try but they're pretty expensive and I have loads of other shoes to skate first that are in the sale lol. Nyjah 3s are so cheap now.
Also, love that not sponsored shirt. Would love another release and shipping to the UK... Or delivery while I'm in the USA next month 😂
haha yeah dude they are A LOT! but idk we will see if there are 1000 likes ill do it. but I doubt it. lol
Keeo doing it, i like them in a lifestyle manner.. still its always good if they are a good performer..
Saw that finesse board ...was on the same team as Rod james back in the day ...😊
They look dope yes, they look tech yes, they are expensive yes, sold out in almost every size yes, but does the knitted shell breathe enough to not make your feet sweat idk, but I do know I have two pairs of the last model so I’m gonna keep skating those until I can’t, but that top part of the shoe where it bends sounds like a problem I might wanna avoid all together along with $120+ price tag, I sure didn’t pay full price for the ones I have now, we shall see, thanks for the review!!!
I had the same issue with the left shoe, since my right foot is bigger. I had to loosen the left shoe to make that poking pain go away. It went away after they were broken in tho.
Definitely subbed
No way!!! thank you! :)
Thank you for spending the cash to give us your assesment on the AVE 2.0. I just got the shoe yesterday but not skated them yet. Please give us a full review 🙏🏻. However, it sounds like it's already a negative 😞
Loosen up the bottom half of the laces, but keep the top couple holes of laces by your ankle tight so they don’t feel like they’re gonna fall off or something.
It’s worth a try at least. It worked for a few dudes I skate with that bought these earlier then the official launch. 🤷🏻♂️
That’s a good idea. I’m gonna try it.
The reason I haven’t subscribed yet is every shoe you review that I love you hate or rag on it! These shoes are amazing you just need to break them in more. Maybe all your reviews should have 30sec at the end after like 30 days or something!
well maybe if you subscribed I would do it. . . :/
cool, now can you please review some eS? I'd love to know your opinion on some of their shoes.
I'll have to check some out.
Bro can u review some new balance shoes like the Reynolds or the new 440 v2
You saved me 130 bucks! Thanks dude! 👍
lol. No problem. I lost 130. Haha
how y’all still buying them for 130?! they’re sold out most sizes!
Are these uncomfortably tight like those Nyjahs from a few years ago?
I have the black ones, and I agree with the top of the foot thing, but that started going away after a week of having them.
A WEEK!!! thats a long time lol maybe ill keep skating them. idk though its super annoying and I don't want to be in pain every session. makes me not want to skate. defiantly something that shouldn't happen with a $130 shoe
@@christianflores I’ve been wearing them in outside of skating too. Doing a 100 ton Captain’s license class and wearing them casually. They are comfortable now, but it took a break in period to get there.
For 130 dollars i want my shoes to not be ugly af
Seems to be a common trend these days..
The non-sock version isn’t as ugly but yeah pretty much
You should do polls for when issues like this arise to see how common they are. And just be sure to add a “just here to see results” option.
The foot poking happened with the tiago 1080s for me. I believe it's the plastic layer under the leather that these AVEs probably also have.
hmm It didn't happen to me with the Tiago. and yeah it sucked for these ones
Yo Christian, can you review the adidas samba adv kader
Pushing down on the toe to skating around the skatepark
These are the THIRD version of the Aves. I had 1 & 2. Here is a 2016 photo of me in the 1s (had to send in an Instagram message to you).
These slipper-socks look like trash. They will fall apart fast
My big-toes are permanently bending towards the baby toes now, from them having too pointy of a toe-area, & from me wearing half size smaller than I should have been, of AVE2s for 2 or 3 years straight. This throws off my overall balance/board-feel a tiny/noticeable amount. As a result, I now have to put 1 toe-spacers in-between my big-toe and the next toe beside it. I'm aware & cautious now about strictly-only picking shoes that don't have too pointy of toe-areas, and don't look like they will bend my big-toe inwards. Skate shoes are the worst for this, cause they usually have pointier toe-areas than normal shoes.
I had the same problem with the ave 1.0. I think it’s the rapidweld toe cap area. It’s a pass for me. I think u should try the new balance 440 v2. High or low next
yeah its super annoying. and yeah ill look at those 440s
Honestly the 440 V1 is an amazing shoe and is on sale in a few places now that the V2 launched.
Thank you for the review! Do they run small?
I would say a little small. Definitely try them on first. They were way too small feeling.
Already returning them....gonna stay with my DC's. Thanks again!
I purchased the shoe.I like the look of the them but they are definitely snug around the foot. I can’t even wear socks with them. They are fly-knit which I have other fly-knit material shoes and I have room in them. I was disappointed and struggled putting them on. Hopefully over time, I’ll be able to break them in. They cost $130 which is pretty costly for a vans shoe.
what's the point of the built in sock thing if we're gonna be wearing socks anyway?
Please review the adidas forum 84 low adv
Didn’t we talk about this and the Nike ek3 look?! lol
Do you know if they’ll restock? Or is this a one time release? My size is out :(
I’ve heard this run was one and done. I. Heard the next run wont have the fly knit as well but 🤷🏾♂️
Felt the same thing on my toes. Wore the shoes all day for a couple of days to break them in and the toe problem went away.
Dude! Right! I hated it.
I have the leather 2.0s, not the knit but the leather 2.0s are uncomfortable as uck, feels like it's trying to bite off my #2&3 toes every step
Yeah I have them still and I like them but I won’t want to wear them because it hurts my feet.
He's not wrong, these aren't very comfortable. Got mine today and returning them tomorrow. They're like ankle socks with a sole. Might be good for some people, but not me. Too flimsy. Run narrow and poke you on the top of your foot.
I had the exact same issue with the outer toe area and stopped skating them after 1 session
Super annoying.
Just Tried them. The top of Ave 2.0 is crushing my toes when it bends (Just like mentioned). There is a plastic like part right at the base of the tongue to increase stiffness. This appears to be the source of the pinching. It crushes the tops of your toes, including the left and right side (top of foot) and that may also be due to the plastic on the side of the shoe. It's a bad feeling. I'm leaing on returning them now. Otherwise it's a nice shoe. Perhaps there is no way around this issue because without the reinforced hard areas, the stock would have no stability. Edit: I've returned them
Yeah dude it sucks. I did like how these flicked but that is making me want to stop skating them
Same thing happens to me. Toebox area feels like it's pushing inward, making it uncomfortable to use.
It’s the worst thing about the shoe. Other than that. It felt good for mockups.
Kick flips **
tried 4 different sizes and i had the same problem with the side digging into my foot with each one =(
WOW
"I know it's a sock, you don't think I know a sock when I see a sock" !
dude i tried a size 10 but i have wide feet (i'm usually a 10 in vans) so should i try 10.5?
Go try then on at the store. Don’t buy them until you try them.
i have the same problem with the "thing" pushing down on my foot when im walking. very annoying 😭
DUDE!! its the worst lol I hate it. someone said that it went away after a week of skating them. I don't want to wait a week.
subd 🙋
THANK YOU
Vans got me messed up thinking I would pay $130 for a pair of shoes created to be destroyed. Lakai ftw
Vans has consistently become some of the most uncomfortable pairs of shoes for my feet, especially their cup soles. This one reminds me of the ultra range pro, I could not continue skating that shoe at all. Sucks because I also love the look of their vulcs but I can’t skate those without having to scrape a huge layer of the foxing tape off, it’s too much.
vans is the best looking worst shoe.
This is actually the third shoe or a reimagine of the second shoe. The original version of this I skated, but it was too narrow.
Anyways, I just started using your laces. Definitely have to double tie them, but I usually do that anyways. Started wear testing the Vans Rowley XLT. You’re an inspiration. After I’m done skating these, I’m going to wear test the DC JS1.
Lastly, I hope you get more of the size 10.5+ insole in, because I’d love to try them.
Yeah idk why they called it 2.0
@@christianflores I’m pretty sure I heard that this flying version is only limited as well. You can look up the actual 2.0 that is suppose to be dropping.
The original AVEs are my favourite skate shoe and I don't think the's look better to skate in at all
I don't remember how the OG ones skated. but I think they were better
I had the same freaking problem!!!
DUDE! RIGHT!!!???
Play some solid games of SKATE with the bros in street spots!! More views and subs!!
okay ill try it.
@@christianflores 🙏👍
The chimes hurt the top of my foot so bad that I left them at the skatepark after one session
What park is this?
It’s solana beach park. It’s super mellow
They look sick but why does the sole look like it’s worn out already? Also 130$ for shoes is way too much. Most likely just wait til they put em all on super sale
834 likes hope you’ve been skating them 😂😂
They sound about as bad as they look 😅
I'm skating the Zhaba Mids rn and they're amazing.
I can't hang with the toe poking thing, I had to give away a pair of strayes for that same issue.
Yeah the Zara was good. I think these would be good if I didn’t have the hurting on my foot going for them. Lol
@@christianflores did you try loosening the laces close to the toe like that other dude suggested?
These are easily my favorite new vans shoe, or tied with the Rowan 2. They do hurt you feet for the first couple sessions but now they're broken in they're so so so comfy
$130 for a pair of Vans is insane. Thats near the top of the most expensive skate shoes. Have you thought about just cutting the fabric under the toe loops that are pushing down on your toes
$173 in canada. I thought Thiago 2's at $140ish was bad..
looks like a kmart shoe my mum bought me in 1978 😂😂 .
lol. I wish it was the same price.
I wish he could make reviews from puma skateshoes

They aren’t any review of this shoes
Good idea.
We need a full review Chris!
I don’t wanna. 😩😤
First 5 mins in, I have decided not buying them, I can't do tight shoes. BTW AVE's best shoe is with DC.
Hate when shoes have any uncomfortable feeling because it ruins my motivation to skate em.
Yupppp same
Nah man 130 USD? they better make me do switch 3flip like AVE for that price
lol . . . they don't. . :|
5:31 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha it’s facts.
@@christianflores and i wouldn't expect anything else from you👏👏
90's basketball shoe prices for somthing that dies in a few weeks.
130 is insane!!!!!!! And I’ve only heard mediocre things about the shoe
I dunno man...130 is kinda getting expensive for a skate shoe
WAY to much!
Nobody liked or bought the other AVE's! Idk why they made a 2nd version
lol. Probably a lot of people liked and bought the AVE. That’s why there’s been three.
No one should ride these so no one has to
Damn these some ugly ass shoes. Also they are $300 in Australia. I'm going to keep buying Last Resort as they are always on sale and the cloudy cush insole fixed the only problem I had with the shoes
130 is too much for a Skate shoe !!!!!
Who in their right mind is looking at Vans for these? Absolutely no one, that’s who. These will be all over outlets in 6 months for half the price.
Shite
These shoes are rad if you’re a dude into dudes.
Blahhaha
I’m a gay man and think these shoes fucking suck haha.
I actually can't get over how ugly these shoes are.
lol. Yeah I feel you
Is a horrible and expensive shoe. Not the best mix.
Nobody is going to Like this Video haha due to the fact that the Shoe is crap
What vans need to do is re-release some of rowleys best shoes like the XLT2,squares or the slims. Not these nike esque things.
:)))))))
