Trying On 3D Printed Shoes!
00:00
New Balance Zante Generate 3D Printed Shoes
/ Under Armor!
00:01
Hey, what's good, guys?
00:02
I've been waiting for this specific package
for a few weeks now.
00:04
I'm really excited that it's here, and, in
case you don't know what these are, basically,
00:06
it's the world's first 3D-printed shoe.
00:10
So, let's check it out.
00:12
So, this right here is the New Balance Zante
Generate, and it's the world's first 3D-printed
00:14
shoe, which I think is freaking awesome.
00:19
And, this name, it took me a few times to
get right, but I ended up getting it right,
00:21
and, to be honest, I'm a huge fan of 3D printing.
00:25
Now, I don't actually own a 3D printer, just
'cause they're a little bit pricey, but I
00:28
really like some of the stuff that it can
do.
00:31
You can print food in 3D form.
00:33
You can print shoes in 3D form, or, at least,
most of a shoe, and, honestly, the possibilities
00:36
are endless, so, when I saw these shoes come
out, I knew I had to have them, and, before
00:41
we actually hop on into the box, New Balance
sent me this note, and it says, "Welcome to
00:46
the future of running."
00:51
Because, you know, a few years, all shoes
are going to be 3D-printed.
00:52
Or, that's what they say.
00:53
And, it's just a little note about why they
made this particular shoe, because, in case
00:54
you guys don't know, and haven't been subscribed
to the channel, these shoes are super limited,
00:55
and I really like limited edition stuff, like
those Rihanna headphones.
00:59
If you haven't seen that video, check up there.
01:03
But, they only made 44 pairs of these Zante
Generate.
01:05
And, well, this is pair number 44 out of 44,
so, I feel really honored.
01:08
So, we're gonna set this note to the side.
01:10
Before we hop on in, I wanna check out the
box a little bit, just because, if you don't
01:11
know me, I'm a little bit of a sneakerhead,
and a hype beast, and I really have a good
01:12
appreciation for packaging.
01:14
So, this box is awesome.
01:15
It's got a nice, soft touch.
01:16
You got some holes here, to kind of show the
whole 3D printing kind of aspect.
01:17
I've seen some pictures of these online, but
I haven't actually seen these shoes, so you're
01:18
gonna see my impressions live.
01:19
I'm actually, like, a size 12 1/2.
01:24
I have really wide feet, so I'm hoping that
these fit.
01:26
These are running shoes.
01:29
Say New Balance right up here.
01:31
And, let's open these.
01:36
I'm really excited.
01:38
Little sad that, in shipping, the box tore,
but I will get over it.
01:40
Got the New Balance right there.
01:45
The smell is hitting me first.
01:57
That's, right off the bat, what, That's really
strong.
01:59
I'm kind of in a daze.
02:03
So, this is the shoe right here.
02:05
Wow, dude, this 3D printing is insane!
02:07
It looks like a honeycomb.
02:10
Did honeybees engineer this shoe?
02:13
So, this is the other shoe.
02:15
Okay, I didn't really know what I'd think
about this 3D printed midsole, but I really
02:17
It's really eye-catching.
02:24
Alright, we'll set this aside.
02:25
The box is, legit, lit up.
02:30
I don't know if it's been lit up from shipping,
but you can definitely tell.
02:32
You could see that?
02:38
It's got a USB cord.
02:41
So, I'll be recharging my box?
02:43
Um, didn't know I'd ever be saying that.
02:46
It feels moderately light.
02:50
I thought it would feel a lot lighter.
02:52
I just had this idea in my mind that, like,
this wouldn't really weigh much, but it weighs
02:55
like a normal shoe would.
03:01
I really like this design.
03:02
At first, I was a little stunned, but it reminds
me of honeycomb.
03:03
It looks freaking sweet.
03:07
I've never seen this before.
03:08
And, as for the shoe color, it's kind of a
like a purplish navy.
03:09
Didn't know what to expect there, in pictures,
but doesn't look horrible.
03:15
I think I can definitely rock this on my feet.
03:19
It's more of, like, a unisex shoe, so, got
these shiny New Balance branding on the back
03:21
there, so you won't get hit by a car at night
when you are runnin'.
03:25
And, for the pull tab, it says, "The future
of design.
03:28
"The future of running.
03:32
"Take bold steps towards the future with New
Balance."
03:33
Well, I am a futuristic kinda kid, so I'm
excited to put these on my feet, and what
03:36
I've been told is, these size 12s right here,
they only made three pairs in total, so this
03:41
is one of three pairs, and I guess my pair
as a whole is pair number 44, so I'm kinda
03:48
feeling super special right now.
03:54
♫ Putting 'em on my feet right now ♫ Oh,
boy, these are a tight fit.
03:56
That's, like, the most workout I've seen all
day.
04:00
Alright, now for the next one.
04:04
So, these shoes, they don't really feel any
different on my feet than, like, a traditional
04:06
They don't give me any superpowers.
04:10
I don't feel like I'm from Back to the Future.
04:11
I thought I would feel a little bit lighter
in these, these midsoles that are 3D printed
04:13
would feel a little bit springier, but, to
my surprise, they're not.
04:18
They're just normal shoes.
04:21
They do look really great.
04:23
They are comfortable.
04:24
But, I thought I would, honestly, have a little
bit of a superpower goin' on here, and that
04:26
is definitely not it.
04:31
Worth the 400 dollars, but no superpowers,
and I will not be in the next Marvel movie,
04:32
And so, that's pretty much it for this video.
04:38
If you guys enjoyed it, a like would be really
awesome.
04:41
The things I had to do to get these shoes
were pretty insane.
04:43
Go ahead and get subscribed for more cool
stuff like this, and, yeah, I'll see you guys
