I'm thinking of buying these. I used to be really into skating like 15 years ago but gave it up, but really want to get back into it

I honestly think these skates are perfect for wide 13. For me personally, these feel better than other skate. The forward lean feels aggressive and lets me crouch better. (6'4 240lbs)

I love the double lace holes to mix two lace colors. It is kinda 90s.

The “dangling skate/I got new skates” gets me every time lol

pleasantly suprised.

awesome as always! nice

Told ya! They will make your groove game even better, the souls are perfect for ledges and rails. Also your cess slide game is about to level up.

Nice one! This is the boot I will purchase. With Reign V3 liners and the Compass Blue Ridge 72mm Frame Kit. Thanks so much for your contributions to this field.

Loving your videos mate! Getting me through lockdown having rekindled an old love of skating! Razors were the grail skate for me back in the day, mainly shima’s. keep up the awesome work Cheers!

My favourite series of skate!

Maybe the best AO soul on that ledge, good stuff!

You guys can thank me for getting these reissued these are the best skates made so.

Your definitely looking solid in those!

I love the genesys! Glad the boot was re-released. I still have my pair of OG genesys from 2002. The boots finally cracked last October...major bummer. Might have to pick up some genesys boots😁🤷‍♂️🤞

There's a place to stash a skate tool under the shock absorber 😃

I still have my Genesys LEs from 2006 and the only thing that I have had to change on them are the shock absorbers and wheels. They came with super high Jug liners and are probably some of the toughest skates ever sold. I could probably still skate them for another two years without changing anything but the wheels. Currently skating Shift 2s and much prefer them and the speed of the flat wheel setup and massive soulplate space. Tiny shock absorbers, though.

Love the video

Hey now! No kink shaming Law 😂

I understand your love of flat boots with shock absorbers, but since getting a pair of Footprint Game Changers insoles, I can tell you shock absorbers are not a must. These insoles can give you all the shock absorption you need. I regularly land from about 10ft and it never hurts. It is a nice soft cushiony landing. I ride M12s with Sola Frames, by the way.

I can confirm

Good stuff

I think it's important to note that you are in the Goldilocks boot shell for this skate, and that the other shell sizes are proportionally wider/bulkier. Why is this? Well, initially, the Genesys had an 8-9 shell, and then a 10-12 shell, which was absolutely massive for size 10 and 10.5 feet. The Genesys are, as you put it, "spacious", even when the shell is a perfect size for your foot... now imagine them being two whole sizes too big as well! After a couple years Razors finally added the shell you have now, a 10-10.5, but still using the 8-9 soulplate. Basically this new shell is just the 8-9 shell with the toe and heel bumped out a bit, but no real change in width. Thus, this shell is proportionally narrower than the other sizes.

I always have a problem with fit in skates. I'm a size 9 shoe. 8.5 in some. On a pair of toe cut razors cult or ssm I could go down to a size 7 boot. I'm wondering if I can find an aeon that fits well.

@aldolega

@@kevincollins8620 the 41-42 Aeon would probably work fine with a regular-thickness liner (not a thin downsizing liner). It sounds like the 39-40 Aeon would be too small, even with a thin liner. It's hard to cram into Aeons because the shell material is so rigid, and the toebox is very snug height-wise.

I had the Shimas size 12 and this explains the fit. It was my least favorite skate I owned and I had to do a lot of customizing on the fit. Its not like other skates, on these there is extra room in the entire shell of the skate on the sides and tops of the foot. And hitting royals and topsides when you foot has room to move around in the skate just doesnt feel solid.

I had my Gen GLD stolen from me last year. now im buying these.

Looking really solid in Gens dude!

I made a bet and the bet was that you are going to like them ! I only got some Jeff Stockwell ones 16 years ago, just for a few days (that has only one row of lacing on each side, rest has studs) but it was too small so I had to sell them, I might pick up a pair of these until I can.

Definitely wanna see a switch to ur comfy liner and lower absorber , to see if ya like that setup then the following week maybe your own frame (definitely antirocker)with maybe a wider soul plate? Have fun!

I haven't read through all the comments but another reason for the two laces is so you can have two different color laces which can add a personal tough to the look. Or just go with one set as well.

Yup. Mine came with black and white laces back in 2006. Still skate them.

I run a single lace in my gens. I go in the inner loop and out the outer loop. I’m not a fan of the 2 lace thing. I recommend trying this method. It holds your foot really well while keeping the look of having 2 laces without he headache of 2 laces.

Did you ever get the Genesys LE?

👍🏾

Had the Shimas. They used to make the Night UHMW sole plates for the Genesys. . Would be cool to see if you can make a homemade sole plate for these. If you drill some holes in the shock absorber on these, it works a lot better, also sanded the shock absorber down some it was too high. I drilled holes in the boots and frames to make them lighter. There is a channel on youtube called Frankenboots where he customized skates for pros like Pat Lennan, a lot of good ideas to make a custom skate. You can also get some pliers and remove the extra interior metal eyelets on the lace holes so only the outer lace hole line is showing. I ended up painting the skate black tho so the eyelets didnt show. That was the only pair of Razors skate I owned, and my least favorite skate due to the fit of the shell. I like a skate the fits tight on the top and sides of the foot, and this skate for me always had a little extra room on the sides. On me tho because I bought a size 12 when I can fit in a size 11 skate. Hence why I did all the customizing because it was a little too big. If your gonna purchase the Genesys, try them on because if they are oversized its not like a roces where the skate is slim on the top and sides, the entire shell is a little too big.

I downsized into these with 2nd skins and it was awful. Way too much room made the skate very sloppy to the point where the whole skate was bending under my foot (disclosure: I'm a heavy guy). That said, I'm going to try them with skinny boys (they don't fit with intuitions) which have more padding around the ankle.

I would enjoy better audio but I don't think it's completely necessary. For the style and volume of content that Law is producing, having a reliable and simple camera setup that lets him make the most of his time is more important than small improvements in audio or picture quality. The backup recording on the Rode Go 2 is very nice but IMO the Go's are still too big/heavy to use while skating. They weigh your collar down and bounce and flip over when jumping around. I could see them working ok on a dressier shirt with a front pocket to clip them inside and stiffer fabric that will hold them in place. I went for the PicoMic system, and although I'm yet to use it for skating stuff, the mics are so tiny and light that you forget they're even there.

These are the ugliest skates on the market imo
