Thanks for rolling with Opus and we appreciate the thorough review. Lots of great feedback we can build on. As a small, independent brand run by just a few of us, your support means a lot. Thank you!
Really appreciate you checkin out the video! That's awesome! If you ever make a wider shoe, I'll definitely be getting another pair. Cupsole would be sick too! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the company!
this is so sick, i was at a grand opening for a skatepark last summer and opus was just starting out and i recived a shirt from the owner which i still have and it is pretty cool
Nice! I'm tempted to try them out as soon as they get released here in Germany. That "Hufnagel forever" helped too. What a legend! Btw: your second attempt on pronouncation was pretty accurate. The German way to pronounce his name in English is something like "Hoofnahgle". The "gle" as in eagle. The english translation of the family name is "hoof nail".
must be the German in me that got it on the second attempt lol.. i was actually born in Frankfurt. my mom is from there and most my family is still there. If you do get the shoe's be weary of the tightness at the base of the toe cap like i mentioned in the video. it ended up being a problem for me. Damn hobbit feet lol
@@stickersteve007 That makes totally sense🙂 I had a feeling that there's more to it than just coincidence. That's awesome. Frankfurt is only a 40 Minute drive away from me. Been quite often there in the past. Even lived there shortly in the late 90s. Now not so often there but still frequently. Thanks for the tip on the shoes. My feet are also more on the wider side (especially mid-foot). Skating the 92 Half Cabs atm and they are a bit to narrow for me.
@@stickersteve007 no prob! Originally from a small village in the Dillenburg area. Say hi to your mom! 🙂 Fun fact (your mom might know) : in this area we "roll" the letter "R" in most words almost sounding like Americans speaking German. 🙂
OMG you did the Andy Anderson Moonwalk LMAO!!! That is actually a really good looking shoe for once way better then those strayas lol. Killing it man!!!
@@stickersteve007 haha yeah it’s expensive enough as it is! Shoes looked alright tho man. Just got myself some half cabs for the first time and I’m in love so far… had the rowley classics and that man likes pain too much! They killed my feet!
These were a great show, but the bottoms blew out so much faster than the rest of the shoe for me, they need a stronger outsole and they’d be my favorite shoe, but I can’t bring myself to buy another pair after the bottoms blew out as fast as they did
Thanks for saving me $$$. Was thinking of putting them on my wishlist but now of so much. Which shoe blew out on you? Did you contact their customer service to tell them the problem? Maybe they can make it right.
@@TheReal_DeanD I told my local shop owner who said he would report the feedback to his sales rep and it’s my front foot shoe that blew out, pushing shoe is still in great shape
i got some nike black and white high tops. about 2 weeks after i got them i noticed every little kid i have seen since has them on. anybody who has never tried to go backwards and air push forward has no idea how hard it is.
I’m trying to be more optimistic here. I think they’re making a familiar shoe to get some money in the bank to then fund a unique shoe that skaters will truly enjoy. Gotta make $ back for investors. If they released something out there first no one would buy then they’re bankrupt.

@zeitgeist1977sk8 not quite as bad as the half cabs, but it's close.
@zeitgeist1977sk8 hopefully this doesn't sound weird, but my mom would like to know where you're from (out of curiosity) She is from Kaiserslautern.

Been wanting to try some of these myself!
you should dude! be interested to see what you think
OMG you did the Andy Anderson Moonwalk LMAO!!! That is actually a really good looking shoe for once way better then those strayas lol. Killing it man!!!
I actually prefer the look of the strayes, but these feel better. I'm gonna skate em both I think
One of my homies Jon rides for Opus super cool to see you do a review of them!
dude that's rad! i plan to keep skating them and give a full review
@@stickersteve007 sweet I’ll be here when you drop it!
Enjoying the reviews man 👊
thanks dude! probably the last one for a little bit or ill run out of money lol
@@stickersteve007 haha yeah it’s expensive enough as it is! Shoes looked alright tho man. Just got myself some half cabs for the first time and I’m in love so far… had the rowley classics and that man likes pain too much! They killed my feet!
@@Sk8Comeback all the vans kill my feet. mainly because they're too narrow. these are a little narrow for my feet too though. startin to get some pain
They look cool! But for the same cost - I’ll stick with the half cabs.
Totally get that. Stick with what you know. I should probably do that too haha

That's unfortunate, but hey you gave em a shot. Not much else you can do
@@TheReal_DeanD I told my local shop owner who said he would report the feedback to his sales rep and it’s my front foot shoe that blew out, pushing shoe is still in great shape
@@quarter_cabweird the front shoe blew out. I’m hoping Opus can take care of you and then I’m hoping they will fix the problem.
Fakie tre primo is a classic for sure
i do it every time i try em! probably why i dont do em often haha
@@stickersteve007 same
i got some nike black and white high tops. about 2 weeks after i got them i noticed every little kid i have seen since has them on. anybody who has never tried to go backwards and air push forward has no idea how hard it is.
DUDE. It's waaaay harder than I expected it to be. It was gonna turn into a battle to get a smooth looking one lol
new to your channel sir, thanks 💪
Welcome dude! 🙏
I’ve known Mirko a long time. Since elementary school. Little known fact, he’s Italian.
dude that's rad!
@@stickersteve007 mirko is rad. He’s such a good person.
@@stickersteve007 I’m not sure if he was born in Italy. But I know his older brother Thomas was.
They kinda premind me of the emerica jerry hsu a bit
Fucking nailed that intro made me actually chuckle lol
yessss. did my job then!
Looks like the Jerry hsu emerica
And yeah those shoes look like the half cab and the Hsu had a baby
Yeah pretty much
It’s the last Reynolds emerica and a half cab hybrid homage
Aka the Jerry hsu 😂
in a nutshell yes 100
Looks like a debadged half cab
Very similar yes
It looks kinda like the emerica reynolds 1 with a little éS, vans and chinese child labor thrown in for good measure
lol if we could only drop the last part
Why not make something unique if he starts a new shoe company? What’s the point of new shoes with design we’ve seen for decades?
I’m trying to be more optimistic here. I think they’re making a familiar shoe to get some money in the bank to then fund a unique shoe that skaters will truly enjoy. Gotta make $ back for investors. If they released something out there first no one would buy then they’re bankrupt.
That thought did cross my mind as well, but I kinda had the same thought as @TheReal_DeanD. That's what initially drew me to the strayes. Fresh design
This shoe looks dead ringer like the Emerica Jerry HSU
you're not wrong
