That intro song for the shoe brings back memories.

[devourpower]

proud of you for making the decision to do youtube on the side, whatever is best for your mental health. much love <3

I skated the najara colorway (which is actually the ADV model, you’re skating the regular forum) and I gotta say it was by far my favorite shoe, they need to restock the actual forum 84 ADV.

I have the lows and love them so much. I do have board feel, although less then what I normally skate I still do think they are great shoes

1) it's good to hear you're moving to a healthier work/life balance. Videos will come more easily and be better the more you're enjoying making them. Look after yourself!

2) Nike SB Force 58 - they seem to have the Nyjah-style slippy soles that I have got used to, but are quite a bit cheaper and have a more traditional sneaker look. I'm not sure if they'd be great or just meh and would appreciate *an expert opinion*

YOOOO THE OG KEEP THIS AS YOUR INTRO P L E A S E

[jtmcelroy]

I wish you could’ve got your hands on the Diego Najera version. I have those and have been skating a Forum Low ADV for almost 8 weeks now and they’re still holding up!

P.S. The style of these are sick especially if you’re a skater with baggier pants🔥

the netting is the dellinger web - an old idea adidas had from the 80's that a mesh wrap on foam could "control" which direction forces go through the foam

[runework.]

i remember watching this before buying them and thought I would never skate in my life, here I am 2.5 months later with both the shoes and the skateboard checking if they’re good for skating and not just for style :D

[mfnokin]

There's some differences with each different Forum model (without doxxing myself, I work for a shoe store that sells all these different versions

Forum Mids and Lows are the basic shoe, just essentially used to look good or as a chill shoe, these versions have a removable strap (that doesn't do much tbh)

The actual '84 (both the high and low) use better materials and are built more to the original 1984 specification (for example more, more padding on the upper, strap is not removable without cutting it)

And the ADV is the same as the '84 Low, with a skate insole, slightly thicker midsole/outsole, and centering straps for the tongue.

The Najera ADV Mid is essentially the same as the low with a mid-top upper.

If you ever do another review of these, review the 84 ADV's

Wait, these are basketball shoes right? Why use it for skating?

[dociebiemowie]

these shoes look absolutely 80s and absolutely badass. Awesome retro sneaker.

[pitujet]

I bought these magnificent basketball shoes on the early '87;they lasted me the ass (meybe about twenty years...!), and now that I'm 54, my kids gave them to me again in my birthday....the closest to time travelling...!practically never was SO happy and so fund of any of my lifelong shoes...and I recently discovered a 3D file for not to be everytime zipping up and down that velcro stripe...You must believe that I did mostly everything in those shoes (except flying on a balloon or selling umbrellas, as we say in my country ;-) )...say no more;if you are looking for a nice and good-looking basketball shoes that shall be ok for any task you give'em, those are a great choice for you .Greetings from Palafolls, Catalunya!!*!!

LOVE the FRESH FEELING of this video! Keep it up champ :)

[kirillkolesnikov]

I have a love/hate relationship with this shoe after a few solid sessions. Yes, in order for them to feel nice you need to microwave them, also remove the glued on insole and replace it with something super thin. You DON’T need footprint insoles with these you never gonna hurt your feet. Shoelaces don’t rip. They would be my fav shoe probably if not for the flick. I just can’t get used to it, it’s anemic. The sole itself is pretty grippy though. I lost consistency in my kickflips and had to adjust my feet positioning. At the same time i think it’s impossible to roll your ankle in them and the cushioning and support they provide is above any skate shoe. They feel a bit narrow until you microwave them. They are also surprisingly a pretty lightweight shoe. I wonder how they compare with dunk high and the ADV forum version, I never tried those.

[frenchgoldenboyfan]

I will stay with my Adidas Busenitz cupsole forever.. Nothing beats these shoes : comfort, boardfeel, durability and style ! Won't change soon for sure.

Another way to fix stiffness in leather basketball shoes is to run them through the wash cycle a couple of time and it actually breaks them in making them soft and flexible .

Trying out some Emerica Gamma’s this month. First pair of Emerica in over 15 years!

[sundomoldauer]

Hey wish the best for you Christian! Hope all is well with your transition away from YouTube! Glad you’re keeping your mental health a top priority!

[danielkoster]

Should've reviewed the ones that are for skating, not the Originals. Monumental difference between the regular ones and the skateboarding ADV model.
