My favorite shoe of all time. I wish they do a re release of these.

I was always buying skate shoes off the sale racks but these were the first SB's I ever got and I remember saving and saving to afford them. I was 15 years old and at the time for me, that was my hardest flex at school and at the local park. From the laces to the sock liner and tongue, they were the most comfortable and the dopest sneaker I ever owned. I skated them to oblivion and I sure wish I would have hung on to them. I would love to get me another pair and rock em as a Dad who still skates but they are pricey and hard to find. Thanks P-Rod for designing these and defining an era for me and some of the best skating memories I cherish forever. My son is 2 months old and I can't wait for the day he is ready to skate!

These were my Jordans. The styling on em was so unique and clean. Quite possibly my favorite shoe ever

The P-Rod 2’s are probably the most memorable shoe I’ve ever had and still have. My first trip to Barcelona, the shoes I had were pretty much fallen apart so my next purchase were your 2’s and my first time skating Nikes. My whole month skating in Barcelona was in your shoe and have so many photos still of your green colour way in the footage and shots. Soon as I saw the green colour way in the front the memories came flooding back. Thank you P-Rod for ever lasting memories and one of the best skate shoes of all time. The Goat

The P-Rod 2 was the shoe that got me into sneakers. Paul, you have no idea what you did for me with the sneakers. The P-Rod 3 is my all time favorite.

@@Prod84skate also Paul, those Black suede/ gum sole never came out, at least I can’t find any images on google of them, and I do not remember them back in the day. Now seeing them, those are probably my favorite color way. Would be cool to see you “retro” some colorways!

as a life-long nike head who loved the art of skateboarding, it blew my mind when you dropped your first pro shoe, so of course i copped those as soon as i saw them in ccs. but the 2s... damn. these hold a special place in my heart. i'm not a sneakerhead whatsoever, but i copped four pairs of these (not all at once, of course, as i was a teen just struggling to get by). i vividly remember going to my local skate shop and copping the og white leather ones. rocked the hell out of them till i couldn't any more. throughout the next weeks/months, every time i'd visit the shop and see a new colorway, i couldn't help but get them. i copped the black and gold ones two sizes too big, because it was the only pair they had. i still rocked those like it was nothing. when i copped the playstation pair, i thought they were some of the cleanest kicks i'd ever owned. but the easter ones... those were a game changer. as someone who strictly wore dark colors (with a huge white tee being the only exception), i always gravitated towards solid colored kicks. these easter ones just grabbed my eyes and pulled me in. i felt like i finally found myself and my steeze, rocking so many colors that i never would have before, just to match the outfit. still have that pair to this day. i don't rock them, but i have it in my collection for sentimental value. it's always hard for me whenever people ask "what's your favorite _____?". i've owned a pair from 1-10, but i think the easter 2s might be my all-time favorite in the whole line

Hands down my favorite shoes to skate, on foot they just fit perfect, had no trouble skating and probably saved my ankles from getting rolled, super comfortable and the style to this day are legit nice

I totally missed out on these, Paul! I'd love to see Nike put out something for you - I know you've got 10 shoes already but can't they reissue some of these classic joints? I understand to some degree that Nike's pipeline is long and it takes time to get things through that big machine and into production but c'mon! I'm trying to rock a shoe with class, Nike, and all of P-Rod's shoes have that and more lol!

2007 was the year I graduated. Saved up a couple checks from my first job. The day after high school went to LA (from DFW Texas) to skate with my friend who was from there so he could show me all the spots from his childhood and the videos we loved. Bought 2 pairs of P-Rod 2’s at Valsurf and Jeron Wilson, one of my childhood idols, was there shopping. We didn’t bother him or anything but we were so hype. One of the best times of my life and forever my favorite shoes. Super comfy and hella good looking.

The ones are still my favorite, wish they did a re-launch

Back in like January of 2007, I got my first pair of p-rods. The p-rod 1 cave purple/black (still have a pair new in box). My mom said i couldn't have them until my birthday in June! Every single day, I would sneak into her closet when she wasn't home and I would just stare at them. That was a long 6 months. My second pair was the first white p-rod2s. After that, I was obsessed. I had so many pairs of p-rods. 1s and 2s. Skated the shit out of all of them and studied every detail of them. I was always obsessed with skate shoes and p-rods just intensified my obsession. Such awesome shoes with amazing detail. I still have many pairs new in the box that i saved and my best friend has every colorway of 1s and 2s. His closet is slap full. We could tell you everything you need to know about p-rod 1s, 2s and 3s. Even things you don't know about your own shoe.😂 By the way, you may not remember, but you hid a secret message inside of every pair of p-rod 2 on the primo plate. You have to cut the shoe apart to find it. Is says "Nothing is impossible for him who will try. -Alexander the Great-" In an old interview with James Arizumi, you mentioned that y'all hid a secret message in the shoe, but you doubted anyone would ever find it. Best believe I was on it! The best memories of my life, I was wearing p-rods. Thanks paul.

PRod 2 is still my favorite shoe till this day! The look, the feel just an all around perfect shoe! Got too many pairs to count lol

Still got my J Rod 2s boxed up in my collection. Bought 2 pairs for skating and saving! Just missing a P Rod autograph. Ever time I went to a signing, I never made it on time back in the day. Someday though 🐐 ✍🏽 thanks for the video content GOAT! Greatest period of skateboarding in my opinion!

i remember skating those grey and blue ones. absolutely loved that shoe and i remember being sad af when they finally got a hole in them. probably my all time favorite nike sb

yall gotta bring these back 🙌 1-3 are all musts.

Hands down best skate shoe I ever owned!!!! I had the prod2s black with the white gum sole and gold Nike symbol. You were able to rock those shoes with any fit.

Love these episodes!

i had just started skating and these were my first pair of nike sb's, i got the lavas colorway. they came in a gold box and i skated them until my foot was flopping out the side of them. i learned so much in these shoes, hard flips, 3 flips etc. everyone in my middle school was kicking it in these too. such a dope time, this shoe will always have a special place in my life. thanks prod!

Been waiting for this video! Prod 2s are elite and glad to have some in my collection but hoping to pick up some more this year.

Please get Nike to start re releasing the 2s and 1s!!!

Not gonna lie. This guy was defs one of my idols growing up skating, especially after Yeah Right...

need these to come back!!

All of your shoes have been great and iconic p.rod.

My wife (girlfriend in those days) gave me my first pair of p-rods since that day I fell in love with the p-rod and I still have the one she gave me, I don't skate anymore but I still have about 27 pairs of p-rods 2 and 3

That's an iconic shoe for an iconic time in skateboarding. Lowkey miss the bulkier shoes, I feel like there was more style back in those time and more variety with shoes. I hope Nike does a rerelease one day soon.

I wasn’t a skater until COVID started, but I always had skating in the back of my mind as something I wanted to try one day, and that honestly started when I was a kid seeing other kids with these dope ass skate shoes and Prod was one of the first names I ever associated with the sport and, and has been such an inspiration for me these past couple years

Damn, I can't believe this heat comes from 2007 P Rod new what to ask for. This guy is awesome. I am definitely a P Rod follower He just doesn't quit, he's awesome

Love all of your shoes Paul im starting to collect them all one by one i just bought 2 pairs of your very 1st ones ! Worth every penny You talking about your shoes always gets me hyped !

Gotta love P Rod, such a humble dude.

Had the black and gold ones back in the day, for sure my favorite shoe of yours. I never saw the black / gum ones before, would have bought those if I saw them back then.

Best Prods ever

The ones and twos are a couple of my favorite shoes of all time. Would love to have them get a reissue. They were around when I was first starting to get decent at skating. Would love to wear them again after all these years later of skating

I still have the Jordan inspired P. Rod 2s even tho they are falling apart and I’ve tried gluing the outsoles so I can try to rock em every now and then lol. I also still have the high top ones that came out in this video…glue hasnt came off of those yet lol

Need these back

we need the reissue . Is the best prod 😍

Gotta do these for all the p rods but including the obscure one like the 2.5 the vrod and all that, the prod legacy in skate shoes ir arguably the bes one ever

U the goat prod

The prod 2 black with the gold swoosh was my favourite pair. Looked very cool and would get a lot of compliments at school and also it skated very well. So bummed that one time i forgot the shoes in the train and i neder got them back. Still good memories though.

I have to give myself credit here and say, the first time I saw P Rod was in his debut City Stars 🌟 part and I knew right then and there, this kid was some sort of prodigy. Although there are many incredible skaters today, P Rod has some true innate talent that is truly 1 in a million, it doesn’t surprise me at all that Nike has given him so many shoe models!

On to the 3rd and best p-rod shoe ever!!!

Crazy 🔥. The what the Paul SBs are one of my grail shoes

these got me into nike sb i wanted the grey and blue ones my entire life. that’s one of my grails. a random kid o don’t know on myspace had em and i remember thinking they were so cool lol

I had a pair of the prod 2.5s with a hood swoosh!! I wish I still had that pair

I wasn’t a skater but I did hoop in your shoe! Loved it!

I had the yellow laced pair back in high school i miss those shoes

Had a black pair with gold swoosh, my favorite shoe of all time. 2007 in 7th grade Had a pair of black and gold prod 4 and black and gold janowski I wish they would re release

One of the first cool shoes I remember getting as a kid. Got a gift card for my local skate shop and usually wore éS or Etnies, but I got the p rod 2 in that cinco de Mayo colorway. Still love em wish Nike would remake them!

forgot about the high. that is dope!

love ur vids and u are an real idol man u made it bring the p rods bag please

can we get a remaster of these this the best prod sillouette

PRod 2 by far my favorite! Can you bring out some Free Rod 2s?! Grail status for me!

I'm a sz 9,5 and remember to have looked for Samples of PRod 1s or 2s cause they were my sz.. only one I still have is a GR pair of the Bloody V colourway

Need the Prod 3 review ! I have 4 colors of that model Never skated them but they are by far one of my favorites ever.

Damn a LOT of dope colorway on that table! The black cements and Tinkers are both crazy, as well as the PlayStation ones!

I’m wearing my pair tomorrow. I have the original CW of the PRod 2s. Had a pair when I was in high school and beat tf out of em as my daily and skate pair. Few years ago got into sneakers and found a pair of these to relive those times. Big fan since ‘07 man love the content

I had the Pigeon Midnight Fog / White / Red colorway. I miss them.. they were my favorite shoes 🔥

My all time favorite shoe was the grey and blue P rod 2 by far the most comfortable shoe I ever skated!

My first pair of sb’s I ever skated. The best Christmas 2007 present under the tree I swear. I also swooped up the brown elephant print zoom tre that Christmas break.

First shoes I bought after getting that shop sponsor discount. Loved them!

Wish i could find a brand new pair of that olive green and yellow and the navy and yellow ones. Just found some old pictures of me rocking them 14 years ago today and one of my sponsor videos.

I remember some of these color ways being on sale at active in summer 08 before the school year started 😢 Wish I would have grabbed all the pairs back then but I was getting into Adidas Busenitz

When would you bring out the PRod retros? 🤔 Might be nice 🥹

This brings back good mems. I really f with the black gum colorway. Cant go wrong with dem joints. The PlayStation dunks go hard in the paint as well. You seem to mainly rock the white 1’s. Cloud kicks

What’s interesting is some people can rock all white kicks and some can’t. I never could wear all whites. They look super clean they just don’t fit my vibe. It’s funny how a persons energy can make a specific fit work or not just based on that. Everyone has there own thing that makes them unique in how they rock there kicks.

The all black/gum ones you say were general release were never released. The closest we got to those were the black/gold. You have so many unseen samples, I'd have a field day going through your stash. I still have many pairs new in the box.

need a re issue of the 1s and 2s

Gotta say es shoes always looked wayyyy nicer than any sb but yeah. Would be dope to you see you back representing skater owned brands 💪
