- I was our shopping with my girlfriend and she wanted to look at shoes, I saw these and thought they could pass for skateboarding shoes. After seeing how cheap they were I had to see if they could perform as well as Skate shoes.
For shoelace I made that will last you a long time for skating, Go here! xtendedwear.co...

I skated these and another pair of reebok high tops in the past few years. Great value. Super glue the stiches and the parts of the lower laces that break (once they are broken in and adjusted to where they will remain) and you have a great skate shoe that didnt cost much.
That’s the best comment on these for sure. Super helpful
@@christianflores thanks man!
Good to know. Hey Nick, are you related to Tom Willett? He's "Featureman" on CZcams.
@@999thenewman Sadly, I am not. But I did find him a while ago and have referred to him as my grandpa since then.
@@nickwillett5493 Nick, thought you'd like an update on Featureman's past and the truth: czcams.com/video/lwxDrAhGvtE/video.html
The BB4000 is an '80s basketball shoe. Not surprised that they skated well, lots of '80s basketball shoes do.
makes sense lol
Fun Fact:
Prior to Adidas letting Reebok go, Reebok was actually planning on getting back to skateshop's shelves.
Man, that DGK collab was everything.
Reebok totally got fleeced on the come up. Every other basketball shoe brand/sports shoe brand is at the top.
Fun fact: Kareem Campbell skated Reebok’s in some of his classic video parts from the 90s.
Reebok Club C 85s are unironically my favorite skate shoes. They're also almost always available for $30 or less.
Dont lie its because of kareem campbell
That makes it even harder that Kareem used to skate em. I only skate em cause it’s the only shoe that always comes in my size
They look dope. I'm surprised that Reebok isn't making a bigger deal of some of their retros. I want the Blacktops back.
I got pair of these for about the same price and I've been skating in them too
I ve been skating these for a while actually. The leather flick isnt as grippy on older decks as with suede, but apart from that the shoe is better than a lot of skate shoes, if you like stable soles. Also durability wise its pretty good, compared to any other leather skate shoe.
oh really! nice dude! I liked them too! I would sate them I just think the impact is poop
Skated a few pairs of the all black low tops. They lasted about 3 weeks. For 25$ you can’t beat it. The Ross close to me has tons of vans and some Nike Sb.
Nice! yeah mine were 35 25 would be amazing
Lucky
In the 80s we skated shoes exactly like that. The first Jordans and Converse Weapons were popular among others.
Hello from Singapore 🇸🇬, have been following your channel from a couple of years now. Love your content even though I’ve stop skating due to lots of injuries throughout the years. Keep the spirit alive and keep on rolling 😊
Great video. Sometimes I can afford skate shoes. Sometimes I can't. But you can skate anything if it's decent materials. Look at Tom Penny skating suede Timberland work boots.
found a pair of adio kenny andersons at ross back in the day, for 25 bucks i was skating for 4 months on a pair which was huge when your parents are sponsoring you haha
4 months is crazy
I can find actual skate shoe brands at Ross for way less than skate shops sell them for, the shoes are the exact same but still cheap.
I've been wearing BB4600s for decades. This new version the 'Hi 2' is by far the cheapest both in price and quality. It's still a decent shoe and better than most at this price point. The leather quality is way down compared to the previous generations of BB4600s and they also took the foam out of the midsole, it's just a criss-cross rubber structure now. As a cheap skate shoe these are totally worth a shot but don't expect a high quality leather high-top even when compared to previous BB4600s.
Reeboks are very underrated for the price and what you get for it. The Reebok workouts or ex-0 fits would probably have more impact protection and comfort compared to these. Club c’s would prolly be the best for skating in my opinion though.
i wish ur channel goes off at one point, u being stuck at 70k for this long is insane,u deserve like 500k
I was skating Puma rebound layup SL , they are about the same style as those , same price range , but did have to put some fp insoles on em
Rebook should make a skate version of this shoe for real
Hell yeah Christian! I skated the white and red Reebok G-Unit trainers back in the day that were so similar to these and they were sick!
Hahaha. The G-unit trainers! That’s amazing
I love those Ross lucky finds!
MEEE TOOO
I remember i learned how to fs flip off a 3 foot ledge back in 02 with some reebok midtops. also had a few friends skate in fila's back then too
I got some Jamie Foy New Balances from Marshall’s, and they get some superstars from time to time
I don't skate but I plan to get some Royals like these down the line, sadly the website messed up my order on black friday and didn't get the ones in navy for a great discount, but hey, I found some 50% off Stormy Weather Sk8-hi color theory's instead, which I wanted way more.
I know a lot of people will recommend paying a bit more for better leather and/or construction, there's defiitely sweetspots for bang/buck, but my shoes last me so long either way, and I don't mind having a pair to get messy in if they ever start creasing like crazy.
The Forums these remind you of are my favorite shoe of all time, so it's kinda hard to say no to this look at this price.
Josh was one of my favorite skaters in Drew’s go skate day vlogs, happy to see him still skating :)
A friend of mine was buying $35 Reebok shoes from Ross too for a while. I think it was a budget thing but he seemed to skate pretty decent in them. He went through them really quick though. Every time I saw him, he basically had a new pair lol.
That’s the beauty of being an individual and not a bot🤡
@@andrewashford5617 okay?
So fresh and so clean clean.
try the malls in san diego sometimes they have bargains there like ross dress for less dddiscounts and burlington and marshalls have some shoes but limited on their styles sometimes you can find some really good skate shoes at those stores try indoor swapmeets or swapmeets in san diego.
Hi, could you please review Adidas Aloha Super they look super cool and i would want to know if they are worth it.
Hi, I never seen them yet I might have too.
@@christianflores yooo you replied really made my day dude❤
The Reebok bb's series are tanks glad they're still having the good quality and good price...
Btw you should review and skate some Reebok Pump Battleground because those seem indestructible and I wanna know how they skate...
Who wanna see some pump battleground on a skate park ?
I skated a pair of those for a while and I really liked them. Just gotta make sure you glue the toe cap when the stitches start to come apart
I saw a pair of Louie Lopez converse cons at Ross for 30 dollars in my size the same day I bought some half cabs😭 I went another day and they were gone
I’ve been fortunate enough to find vans skate/pro shoes at Ross, just found a pair of Vans SlipOn skate recently.
I bought the DC Chris Cole shoes when he was skating for them at a Ross store years ago
I got the low top version of these, my favorite skate shoe
Nike all court was my favourite skate shoes in 90’s
This is the stuff people need a Shoe can be skated and if need be there is Shoe Goo also check your Local Thrift Stores I have Bought many Skate shoes from Thrift Stores.
Yuppppp 👍👊
I have gotten from there dvs, emerica, lakais, Adidas, Nike sb ( koston 2s , janoski, P-rods) supra, dc. The biggest steal was the dvs- $13-$15 dollars, emericas for 20, the kostons for $20😳 and the rest for like less than 35🫣
i found some etnies that i cant find anything about at ross, they were 20 dollars and they are pretty nice, vulc sole and suede upper the flick is really nice i like them.
you should try to skate the decathlon skate shoes vulca 500 II
It's more or less, what makes a shoe 'Skateable'? Awesome work on the review Christian! I've been eyeing those sneakers for a while and was hella skeptical on them.
I love skating flat ground so the shoes i grabbed from ross normally are beginner practice shoes and for cruising around.
Reebok workouts were my fav skate shoe aside from adidas superstars
Yeah these were actually super good.
can you skate these until you blow them out and let us know how they skate reebok should start making skate shoes that be sick
6:10 that was a Suski not a salad, and yeah they look sick (the grinds not the shoes lol)
I used to buy my skate shoes from Ross a lot back when it was underrated for skating shoes cuz they were like 20-30$ Nike sb and Adidas
You know, maybe you could review more shoes like these - meaning shoes that aren't expected to be skate shoes, then turn out to be ok. I know you reviewed the Air Force 1 high and some others. But it's just an idea. You never know what gem could be lying there for a reasonable price.
Hell yeah! Good frugal skating. 😋
Try the adidas kader sllya shoes
Maybe 👊
Picked up some pop cush old school vans with the rubber toe cap the other day at Ross 😅 and a month before that I found some Gilbert Crocketts. Sometimes they got some shiii
As a Skater from Tijuana, all I do is go to a “swap meet” and buy my skate shoes (vans, Adidas, Nike sb and more) for 20 dollars, there all new just with out the shoebox’
Yeah I skate some puma rebounds. I’m a beginner so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
An id rock the hell out of those Reebok's on a daily for fashion they clean as hell
Hey Christian, can you review the Nike sb zoom blazer low gt pro??
If your tricks are good and you got pop, you can skate in ANY shoe and it'll be *DOPE*
🔥💯🔥
Facts. I got some sub par pop. Lol
I would rock those everyday! They are 🔥🔥🔥 and Super glue on the laces. Every new pair I just put super glue. They never get bad anymore :)
I think these actually look pretty dope
Can you please review airmax 95s
Ross is hit or miss but I've found a pair of Lakai Manchesters and Vans Rowley/Motorhead same day 35$each...kinda random but can you try skating/review a pair of Clarks Wallabees?
Review a pair of suede Reebok Club Cs
🤔maybe
I had to skate some running adidas my dad gave me 20+ years ago and sprained my ankle down a drop like nothing lol
Could you skate these reeboks all the way through and let us know a full review?
Ahh sorry I moved on. Honestly they were really good I just don’t see them lasting to long. Just super glue them and I’m sure that will help a lot.
really good video bro!
Thanks G :)
Adidas sambas always skate well and skate pro vans are still an alright price but even they have inflated
You can get real skate shoes this cheap though. Just check out what's on sale. You could get white Emerica Temple's for $25 recently. I don't personally see any reason to settle for cheap big-name-brand shoes not made for skateboarding unless you really really like how they look or sth
PLEASE SKATE FILA HIGHTOPS, ALSO LOVE THE CONTENT
haha maybe. ill look come up.
Beautiful classic shoes
Dude, i started skating with a indoor football shoe.......
Futsal shoes lowkey skate real good but dont last
Does Reebok have skateboarding line? Cause I saw a lot of people with Reebook Club C 85 shoes as well.
No reason to buy budget shoes when Accel and Accel Slims go on sale for $30-40. You can get pretty much any colorway if you wait a few months after it drops
Looks like a forum good video
You can get lucky and find actual sk8 shoes at Ross sometimes.
have you ever skated the converse pro leathers ?
Yo Christian do the Adidas Nora!
do a full review
He said "they are not like d3s" lololol
i got van slip on pros for $17 usd at ross
My local ross has nike sb alleyoops ross is actually really great in general
WOAH ! yeah they are
I found those too. I’ve gotten Adidas Superstars with cloud foam too, Adidas Stan Smiths and Puma suedes. Can’t forget Reebok Club Cs either
B grade reeboks always hit ross gotta look for those Classics for better materials
plus they kinda look awesome......
I got a pair of Etnies at ross,
Can we by this shoe on rebook Website ??
U skating but effortlessly cause u don't want to ruin your new reebok 😆 we wear those east coast they look official in black aswell
They lasted me like 5 months without even skating them. They looked perfect at the beginning tho... but quality sucks and I really loved them. The inside of them are like rotten and you can si the inside now
Also you should buy shoes from ross that you wouldnt think would skate and review them
riveting content
‘ you switched from Nike to Reeboks, Ha? ‘
I switched from everything to everything. Lol
Anyone see the error between 2:30 and like 3:15
what about Straye? those are budget but seem to hold up
Ew
No
You guys know the name of the sneaker?
I forgot but somone did comment the name of it yesterday I think.
80’s skate shoe
Anyone remember Dgk X reebok?
Na that sounds dope though.
@@christianflores it was reeboks attempt to go like nike with the SB but DGK (or this case Stevie William) wanted to help out (I think) and they collabed
Conspiracy : Big name skate shoe brands make the shoe with less quality and durability knowing you will tear them
shoes has style tho
your voice is super quiet in the video
2:59 god dam who is that
what happened to your wrist?
its just bad. if I hit it a little it hurts a lot! so this guard helps prevent me from hitting it.
Damn this guy is likeable!...lol
Those might be cheaper but you still have to wear them in public😂
es has shoes that are more than half off all of the time
Thats definitely the best bed I would think,
Such a weird vid because in the 80s that's all we skated. Then they started making skate shoes
Not really since the skateboard shoes is too expensive to looked like constient and the design is different than the other products that provides a better skateboard shoes!
For sure. but if you can only skate 35 buck shoes. . . these are good
@@christianflores Definitely Bro!
