  1. Glad I didn't rush to buy it and waited to see this video. I'm a MKBHD fan, I've been following him since 2015 and he deserves all the success and fame…but he's had a big hand in the making of this shoe, he definitely would be aware of how much it costs to make this shoe and definitely definitely had a say in its price. So MKB has a fair share of blame for launching a shoe that's not worth half its MSRP.

  2. I don’t agree that you said it’s not on him (mkbhd). He stands behind it and promotes it to his community. That makes him totally responsible imo.

  3. The people paying for this are the same people paying for the backpack or the screwdriver from Linus tech tips , they're just supporting their favorite YouTubers

  4. I have no idea how fake leather is any good . I have never had a product with fake leather last . For me literally any other material is better , after few months it looks terrible especially if gets used . But it suits fast fashion really well I guess.

  5. I received mine after 3 months waiting opened the box put one on and then put them back in the box and contacted Atoms support. Innitially they only wanted to offer "Store Credit" with MKBHDs shoe but after I told them I didn't want any other Atoms shoes because they all would such just as hard. I paid $60 to ship them back but they did refund. The Walmart 1s and NOT a vibe 🤮

  6. Any sneaker over $20 is a cash grab. Unbelievable anyone would pay more than that. People like to tell other people that they have no brains I guess. I would be embarrassed to let people know I am an idiot…but I guess some people enjoy that somehow.

  7. Synthetic Leather is still way more environmentally friendly than any kind of animal leather, there is so much more that goes into feeding, watering, maintaining animals overall throughout the whole process than plastic overall, yes plastic is still bad, but it doesn't add into the GreenHouse Gas that animal factories push out. Plus no animal wants to die to become a pair of shoes.

  8. Think of it this way: $100 automatically goes to Marques for his name. The rest goes to the shoe company, and they still have to produce the shoe.

  9. i used to skate from like 8yrs old to 19 then stopped but i always buy skate shoes as when skating theyd hold up pretty well and price wise they seem ok, i know they aint as fancy but most of the time i get a good 2 years out of a pair. Not a major shoe dude tho but they look cheap af but thats the whole industry especially from like balenciaga an stuff never heard of atom tho but guessing they thought because they got a collab they could sell em off for 4x the actual price

  10. The irony is missed on this guy who opens with “buy my faulty products” does his tag line then immediately goes into “this video is sponsored by”… came here to say that then of course the top comment is him again “hey buy my wine” calling what MKBHD is doing a cash grab. Dudes a comedian lol

  11. Would love to see a comparison of all the different versions of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66. Very hard to tell the difference between Nippon Made vs. SD vs. the base model

  12. tl;dr: yes, its an immensely overpriced cash grab from Marquez Brown. You might say he doesnt give a flying fk about his "fans" and sees them as cash cows. Tells you how "objective" all his videos most likely are… not.

    thanks, very informative video. i learned a lot which will help me judge the quality of my future shoe/sneaker purchases just from this one video 🙂

  13. Just lmao@copping 'youtube tech reviewer' signature kicks for 2 c-notes. I'm sorry, but anyone buying these I can pretty much attribute to Darwinism at work. Let the stupid people do stupid things. Seriously…who the hell is buying this stuff?

  14. Funny to see everyone trash these yet consumers will gladly pay out if the a$$ for some hideous yeezy foam runners on the resell market.

    I bought these. Im happy with them, they are comfortable, and i pretty much daily drive them. Ive gotten compliments on them and like that ill probably never run into anybody else with them.

  15. i really look up to marques but the moment he showed the shoe for the first time i thought it looked really cheap.
    the design looked like a Chinese copy of a Jordans going for 10$. like i think he was trying to do minimalism but without the knowledge to do minimalistic design right.
    and seems like that's not only the outside :/
    i dont mind if special editions like these cost more but 200$ really is ridiculous. feels more like they just wanted to generate hype how nike does it.

    also feel like noticing that marquess has a serious problem with determining the value and cost of products (that aren't high end phones) for some time now. which really hurts to say since i am a fan of his videos and the high production value.
