hey what's up guys minus Tech tips here Footwear love it or hate it everyone's
wearing it Footwear has more daily active users than Facebook Twitter
Reddit and WeChat combined so when a
long time rival gets to Market before me YouTube's foremost apparel salesman you
know that I'm going to be first in line to check it out
so I've had these for about a week and
I gotta say Marquez you more than anyone know that it takes courage to change an
industry courage and I gotta respect bold design decisions I mean black and
red I wouldn't have done it but it's undeniably you and that is one of the
coolest things about making clothes bringing a bit of yourself into the
world I do feel like we're too close for me to lie to you though man I'm a little
confused by the way that you've constructed this sandal I've never made
Footwear myself but I have made hats available at lttstore.com and what is a
sandal if not the Hat of the foot so I
feel well qualified to provide you not only with praise for what I feel You've
Done Right but also valuable feedback from my lab on what you can do to
improve your spiffy new kicks that's right I can spend six figures on a robot
too you know I mean not my own money of course
thankfully the knuckle draggers at dbrand who have dogged me for years
making my devices more wrapped and my life more worse have agreed to open
their purse strings yet again to give the community what they want prettier
devices and the real story of the MKBHD
X Adams 251. give them hell boys
the 251 is with the kids and I guess trendier adults would refer to as a high
top sandal and is reminiscent of iconic designs like the Air Jordan Ones the
upper is made of recycled mesh and synthetic leather and the sole is made
of rubber using a zero waste injection molding process kudos for aiming for
sustainability embroidered on the heel is the number 251 a reference to the
length of young mkbhd's first video it
definitely lacks some Creature Comforts compared to what I'm used to I mean
laces what is this Rome it definitely
screams Marquez roundly and I've got to imagine that that's what his fans want
let's move on to our lab tests though knowing marquez's reputation as the best
tech reviewer on the planet we felt it prudent to focus on the tech of the 251s
everything from the tops to the underbunds to the all-important tips
first up is what we call Don deficiency
that's how fast you can put on or remove the sandal honestly speaking we're off
to a pretty rough start here I alluded to this before for but the laces slow
you down immensely and while it doesn't look that bad in a vacuum as soon as we
add the leading Market competitor to our chart it's clear that if time is of any
importance to you this is the wrong sample next up is our
swampiness test we took a heavily moistened sock and placed it inside the
sandal recording the time to reach a dry State and unfortunately this is another
bad showing for the pretending to be located in NYC high tops at this rate of
swamp dissipation any puddle mishap could easily lead to wrinkly toe
syndrome at best or trench foot at worst don't Google that both of these results
indicate a low Beach compatibility factor and here's the thing I don't like
sand it's coarse and rough and
irritating and it gets everywhere
but if I have to go to the beach then I want to make sure that I can efficiently
swap between land and sea without bringing home half a pound of unrefined
silicon and unfortunately the 251s fail here in a really big way but there's
still room for them to impress to evaluate thermal performance we mounted
one of our samples on our 13900k test bench and ran both cinebench and MSI
combustor for 30 minutes measuring the resulting temperatures and clock speed
unfortunately compared to our nhd-15 reference heatsink the 251s represent a
very poor value for CPU cooling but just
because it can't cool a CPU doesn't mean it couldn't cool a foot
so we devised a test to find out but the
results were again extremely unfavorable this is by far the least breathable
sandal that I have ever encountered which does not bode well for our
olfactory test Suite this one involved wearing the shoes for two days straight
through my usual mix of badminton beat saber and sleeping in the nude then
recruiting a panel of Brave volunteers
to assign an odor mitigation grade or OMG the results were
well it's kind of upsetting for me personally actually and it was clear
that after just two days my unique blend of nerd sweat and sporty tryhard Aroma
were permanently caked into these unique
non-removable side panels finally we
tested out ground orthogonal Locomotion distance which is an all-important stat
for the vertically challenged and they did
pretty okay here probably the best result yet but still fell well short of
our control test with my daily driver sandals so it's clear Marquez that with
my history as a connoisseur and taste maker in the sandal verse I have a
responsibility to show you how with just a few modifications you could turn these
251s into 10 out of tens I am so excited
to unveil the all-new Linus X Marquez X
Adams XD brand two five foot one sandals
minus sock this one-of-one drop represents the greatest design ideas
from the past the present and dare I say the future it's just a whole new breed
of Footwear but look don't just trust me Bros trust the numbers they don't lie
our metatarsal Liberation window massively improves breathability over
marquez's flawed design decimating our
swampiness values and as an added bonus they are completely hot stockable
allowing the user to customize their Style on the Fly we've also snipped the
tip freeing those crowded little toesies this not only boosts the effectiveness
of our mlw technology but it also
provides extra comfort and size compatibility for those with 11 or more
toes and optionally exposes Nature's
most potent natural weapon the toenails giving our wearers a boost in their
self-defense stats and now I'm really proud of this next part after extensive
negotiations with NASA we've reached an agreement to use the same Swiss designed
hook and loop Fasteners that are found on the International Space Station these
are almost solely responsible intended for our record-breaking Dawn
deficiency scores and the weight reductions that resulted in massively
improved gold scores ergonomics and sneak ability as for what dbrand
contributed well nothing of substance like usual but
they're overpriced stickers are available in every color meaning that
you don't need to be locked into a red and black color scheme on the new two
five foot one however effortlessly cool the red and black might make you look
this not this is how you make a sandal
s what it's supposed to be a shoe
oh uh
well that makes a lot more sense I guess that's pretty good then um
congratulations Marquez none I wish you nothing but success in this strange
Adventure who buys a shoe in this economy
so much wasted material if you guys enjoyed this video why don't you check
out the time Marquez showed off our screwdriver in a sponsored PC build
