    I love how down to earth you are at all times Chris but I truly have to disagree on the idea that "anybody can do this". Because "anybody" doesn't have the same passion, drive, knowledge and delivery of knowledge as you, as far as sneakers are concerned. It's called "being a master at storytelling" and you excel at that and that's what I am a fan of.

      this is the only guy left on here completely unphased by the hype and staying true. a lot of these shoe tubers forget the days when 20 dollars was hard to let go of, let alone 200, maybe they didn't have too but all i know is after 2018 this became about the money for a lot of yall and it shows

    Just goes to show that a sneaker CZcamsr doesn't always need the latest hype or unreleased shoe each episode to have great content.
    Nightwing's love & knowledge for kicks as well as that onscreen chemistry with Jodi is why we'll always keep watching & supporting WearTesters

    I think the fascination with this channel is that we are watching a true to form OG sneaker head. No collabs, no hype shit, no fluff of sitting or selling or how they will do in the market blah blah blah, just pure appreciation for sneakers.

  • @bertossari-sari451

  • @onslaught213
    @onslaught213 Před 3 lety +2

    Anybody can do it but you go into full detail. And through the description and feed back you can tell the love and passion is there. That makes me come to your channel just not watch the new but old videos I never watched since I kind your channel last year.

    Weartesters videos are my aftershcool treat before doing my homework,always cool to have this boost of energy and fun. I love you guys, it's so cool that you get back from the community for all you do, you deserve it. Wishing you the best (and a W on a Jordan 1 '85) as always :))

  • @therealmarcc.2529
    @therealmarcc.2529 Před 3 lety

    Man, seriously, you’re making life easier. From where I’m at, you release videos around midnight. I usually stay up late working on papers. I enjoy the time more because of your new uploads. Sometimes, I watch random performance reviews and first look or first impressions and listen to you, just to lighten up and kind of lessen the stress. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Wing!

    I’ve read all of Evan’s articles on weartesters.com and they are very informative, seeing as I wasn’t around when most of those shoes were, but it’s really interesting to learn about. Weartesters as a whole unit provide such a great service, from the top class videos (I love the memes in particular *virtual high five to Jodi*) to the in depth articles. You guys deserve all the good that comes your way ✨✨😁

  • @zillzultraboy
    @zillzultraboy Před 3 lety +1

    17 years? That's beautiful. I look forward to having that one day. & no Chris, everybody CANNOT do what you do. You have the best sneaker channel on CZcams, imo. Accept your drip, bruv.

  • @thepickle7757
    @thepickle7757 Před 3 lety

    I appreciate the seller for retail sale showing love for all our love..Kobe Bruce Lee are such a dope collaboration...I love the Kobe 11 Tinker, Bruce Lee are my favorites. The Crow definitely 1 of my favorite movies..

  • @skyward6878
    @skyward6878 Před 3 lety

    I agree the heel is to soft in the protro V. It needs the zoom back there. The proto VI isnt as bad in the heel. Its more firm and doesn’t sink in so much.

  • @GhostofMcNabb
    @GhostofMcNabb Před 3 lety

    I love this channel and I love the community. It’s really low key here. Been watching since middle school before bed, I’m in college still doing the same shit just because it’s so damn cool here 😎

  • @jetsdead
    @jetsdead Před 3 lety

    My first ever resale purchase. Had to have them. I sold an extra pair of 350 breds to pay for these so it felt like i was getting it for retail. Another great vid!

  • @marksantos2691
    @marksantos2691 Před 3 lety +1

    Glad you got them, Chris! Was lucky to get a pair for retail too. Definitely my favorite colorway out of the 5s.
    Kobe grails for me are the Masterpiece 9s and the Prelude 5s.

  • @reueldaniel4995
    @reueldaniel4995 Před 3 lety

    So I'm from the Caribbean, the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and I randomly stumbled across your channel early last and I feel in love with the content and the synergy that you both have. I've subscribed and I watch all your videos, keep up the good work guys

  • @vinnyninja3552
    @vinnyninja3552 Před 3 lety +1

    With that A** Spankin, I remembered why I love these videos, if there's a chance to make content even more great and out of the norm of shoe reviews you see on youtube, Chris will take that opportunity!

  • @nataliomartinez5151
    @nataliomartinez5151 Před 3 lety

    Your channel fuh king ROCKS! Been a fan for a min but I always watch on my tv and it doesn’t have an option to comment. Great pick up man! Took an L on these like most releases nowadays. I do have an og pair but my air insoles are blown out and they are tore the F-up from rocking them since day one. I actually wear them for sparring now. Anyway keep up the awesome work and just wanted to let you know that every time I watch you with your wife I think to myself “you know what man that was a good time” lol

  • @TheWacoKid44
    @TheWacoKid44 Před 3 lety

    Completely agree, I find my shoes need to more firm as I get older. I put an insole in my protros and that seems to help with the heel drop. Boost seems to aggravate my Achilles after a while, even if it does save my knees

  • @variandavid377
    @variandavid377 Před 3 lety

  • @falcongunner33
    @falcongunner33 Před 3 lety +1

    I'm not crazy about the change in foam on the midsole of the 5 and 6 protro. The originals had that dual density phylon that worked so well. And there should be a heel zoom unit in my opinion.

  • @joserod05

  • @argo60
    @argo60 Před 3 lety

    It's really weird, isn't it? I too, being older, find that the more the cushy the cushion, the more my knees hurt. Had to get rid of a full mid-sole Boost shoe a while ago since I couldn't even walk around in them for an hour. I too, have gravitated to newer shoes that either have Bounce if adidas (or Bounce-like), or a firmer set-up cushioning. Btw, I can walk around in my retro New Balances (old school foam, ie, DEAD cushioning) ALL day with no joint complaints even though I have clinically BAD knees...

  • @ReedMySole
    @ReedMySole Před 3 lety

  • @sdawg4834
    @sdawg4834 Před 3 lety +1

    I dont particularly care for the alternate bruce lee 5's.... Maybe if they flip flopped the original bruce lee colorway but just keeping all that white out. Basically, a reversed up color scheme on the bruce Lee's would've been cooler than all that white on the alternates which are a pass for me

  • @jmd20k71
    @jmd20k71 Před 2 lety

    Missed out on both this and the alternate color, even the Kobe 6 Grinch. Too bad I won’t get them anymore for retail. I just wish Nike will keep creating these Protros FOR THE FANS. It will be a total disservice to Kobe if resellers keep making money out of his shoes.

    Hey Nightwing! Idk if you know the shoe retail Sole Supremacy, but I had contacted them a while back when I had bought a pair of Kobe V Chaos but they were a size too small, and asked if I could trade mine in for a size up. Depending on the condition of the shoe they might ask you to pay a little, but for my shoes they were brand new and they did an even trade. I had to pay for shipping, but I felt like it was worth it to get one of my grails! Hope this helps!
