I find it hilarious these shoes will still cost less than some of the shorts they sell

"You could smoke a cig through this" Robbe is iconic

Been running in these for a few months over 150 miles and they aren't showing any signs of wear other than the mud I've been slogging through. Trail or road they're good. Not so much in the snow. I don't even know why they were sent to me but I'm glad they were!

No matter what you think of Satisfy, you have to admit that this shoe looks amazing from an aesthetic standpoint. As for performance, we'll have to wait and see. Ironically, I think it'll be hard for trail runners to buy because it's going to be a hit in the urban fashion scene, similar to the Salomon shoes.

I am a huge Satisfy products’ user and fan, so I might be biased, but man—the amount of details, research and thinking behind every product, this in particular, is unique.

Satisfy might be a boutique brand but in a fast fashion world, I choose Satisfy every single time.

I’ve always imagined a round outsole that matches the heel, a shoe that tries to be more an extension of your foot so that landing on the sides wouldn’t twist your ankle. This is approaching that concept, very cool.

[Burnoir]

Wraparound outsole similar to Under Armour trail shoes from a few years back. Reminds me of MTB tyres.

[danny_larrea]

ugh do I go for the norda 005 or wait for the rocker? I CANT DECIDE

[SoManyMiles]

Just by the fit (D to E), the upper and the asymmetrical lacing, it sounds like the perfect trail rocker. Please leave a pair for me, folks. 🙇🏻‍♂️

[sandstromj]

Outsole looks a bit like the lugs on Salomon s/lab cross 2.

But really good looking shoe overall from Satisfy. Can’t wait for the review and durability tests.

[oli_jens]

I figured this would be a €400 shoe so the price is not too shabby. Looks amazing as was expected.

[Worry]

I have to admit those do look fantastic, asym fit is always an odd one, can be good but could also be annoying if the tongue isn't secured well

[SeanMcPherson]

9:17 “I don’t know if I’ve seen perforations on the insole for breathability”…almost all removable insoles have perforations 🤷‍♂️

[mjsonnenfeld]

It's interesting to see just how much the Mafate Speed 4 Lite influenced this shoe. So many elements borrowed from that, from the transparent ripstop mesh upper, to the heel construction, to the tongue materials which look virtually identical. Even the stack heights are very similar; 33-29 in Mafate, 32-27 in TheROCKER, both with 5mm lugs.

[djbrian]

The outsole looks very similar to the UA HOVR DS Ridge.

[m.chrmalandr]

Besides being a pretty good design, is this meant to be a racer or a trainer, and for what distance and surface?

[SoManyMiles]

Will Satisfy produce the Rockers in the EU like almost everything else in their lineup?

[ivanmitev]

What type or brand of laces are these? I can't hear clearly what he called them. Thank you in advance!

[zacharygarner]

Sort of weird how the white colorway has a different overlay

[MrTCFIRE]

Can't wait for the moths to eat into this one and make the shoes more ventilated. j/k
