@@PassBack Thanks Matt! How about sizing compared to the Rod Laver? I noticed, in this video, that you compared these to a few models of shoes, but the Adidas Rod Laver was not among those. What was your thinking in regards to choosing those shoes, and not the Laver? I only ask because it's my impression from 25 years of varying levels of involvement with this sport (currently at its lowest level, but I still watch all of your and Josh Gayhart's videos) that most freestylers would have personal experience with the Chinese Lavers as a reference point. Has that changed?

@@matthewcross for the sizing you can substitute "my regular US10" for "my size in Lavers," because I wear the same size in all of these shoes. As for the comparison point, it's partially an oversight, and partially because we're building up a "new canon." We definitely should continue to use Lavers as a reference point when it makes (and should have here, it wasn't intentional to not include it). On the other hand, we're also catering to a large audience outside of the established community who aren't familiar with past shoes. We wouldn't want to go too deep on a reference point that they don't understand. In the case of the other shoes, the reference point is our previous videos. But, all that said, there is a balance to be struck, and we'll keep it in mind for future shoe videos.

Hey Matt, thank you for all the hard work it really helps! I've been using the SB Adversary for 2 years and they have been pretty good outside of the narrow toe box which was a bit of a problem for me at the start. My question is do I get another pair of these or can you recommend me something else that's similar with a wider toe box? Thank you again!

That's cool you like them so much. I tried these shoes but unfortunately they didn't work for my wide flat feet. I've given up on finding footbag shoes for now and am learning how to swim for exercise/challenge instead cause finding fitting shoes doesn't hold me back from swimming 🏊😂

I'm sorry to hear =/ I've got wide and flat feet as well, but obviously not as much as you. Do you have trouble with shoes in general or for other sports as well? And yes, swimming is great exercise, and sounds like a great option for you =)

@@PassBack well most other sports have lots more footwear options to filter through to find a shoe that works for me. I found cleats for American football and shoes for rock climbing eventually. Only footbag is restricted to only a handful of options where it's a problem.

Understandable. When we started this channel there weren't ANY good/common options in production, so it was like starting at the ground floor. I feel like now that we have three solid options, there's more room to look for "specialized" shoes. I can't guarantee we will find good ones that are extra wide, but if we do, I'll definitely let you know.

I've got the "Ugg South Bay Mesh" on deck to review, but if you want to check them out before then, I think they're still on sale for pretty cheap. As far as other SBs go, I was looking at the Alleyoop at some point because the shape looks good, but I remember finding the weight somewhere and it was too heavy. Let me take another look, and if it's somewhat reasonable I'll check them out. The only other SB I've seen that looked good in pictures was the Force 58, but when I saw it in person the instep wasn't where it needed to be, unfortunately.

They seem to go in and out of stock on Nike's website somewhat frequently. I just confirmed with them that they're not discontinued, but they don't know exactly when they'll be back in stock. If you poke around Google you should be able to find a reseller that has them.

Came here to ask the same. Looks like the difference is the premium has a smoother canvas body for the upper, and the standard has mesh.
