But, RA makes it seem like you need to cut everything 100% of the time to tell. Although it's not 100% of the time, most times you still can tell the leather quality without cutting. You can’t tell that just by looking/touching the coated leather or looking at the side cuts. Instead he puts on an act as if there's no way to tell until you cut it.Īs I mentioned before, he was surprised when he found that the white AF1s have some grain pattern. Yes! He easily could do the "trust me bro" THEN cut it as well. No, he did not cut it as a demonstrate, he cut it to "find out", and that's exactly what I meant by him playing dumb. It doesn't feel like I'm listening to a person's opinion on a sneaker, it just feels like I'm looking at someone selling their YouTube watch time.Īnd then say what? “Trust me bro, they aren’t layered”? I guess he does that to demonstrate Me not trusting him is about me not feeling like he's genuine with his opinion. So yea, I trust that he knows his leather and footwear construction. He already stated what type of leather it is, and burns it to DEMONSTRATE, rather than to "test" the quality. What he should do more often, and what I like is the part where he was burning the Dunks. He could have just answered that question by sticking his finger inside the sneaker. He wanted to know whether the the extra toe piece is layered top, or if it's just stitched together to the main piece. Rose Anvil, who's an expert on leather, seems to "not know" what type of leather it is until he dissects them, which I believe is bullshit and is just trying to extend the watch time.Īnother example is his video on the Nike Blazers. Also, if you know your leather, you can tell straight up what they are just by looking at the side cuts. This video the on the Dunks for example, ANYONE can tell you that the standard dunks has shit quality. But he always does that thing where he makes it seem like cutting the sneaker is the one and only way to quality check a sneaker. I wouldn't have any issues with him if he was just cutting sneakers to show us what it looks like, and give an honest opinion based on first impression which extends to when he cuts them. What I am saying is that he likes to play dumb for the clicks. I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about. And which brand are you talking about that was more expensive and he was “punting” in place of the carhartt boot as you say? You can get the same thing but cheaper at Walmart. It was a boot advertised to the blue collar man that works everyday because that’s what carhartt represents. And the way these boots were advertised was dishonest in regards to what Weston (rose and anvil) was arguing for. He criticizes boots for what they are in regards to what they’re made of and how they’re advertised. So it could’ve been that the carhartt boots you bought were a better quality than the ones he was criticizing.That’s exactly what he was criticizing though. It’s common for companies to be sold to other people in which those new owners tend to make some sacrifices in quality. Did you have the exact same boot that he was criticizing? From my understanding what you’re writing is that you don’t.
