What I remember back then was that the original D3s got popular in Southern California (specifically San Diego) after Osiris started liquidating their stock for sale. When they were at regular retail prices, nobody had them. Then they suddenly became ubiquitous in low-income communities, because they gave them away for near-free at skate and surf shops. And then everybody had/wanted them. The customary thing to do was once they were worn and battered, was to cut the tongue off your old pair, so that you could slide them behind the tongue of your next D3s to make them look even puffier.

Classic Vans suck for street skating. And their wet traction is down right dangerous. Nobody in the 90s skated in Vans. I can't recall seeing one person in the DC area, especially any pros (e.g. Freedom Plaza) skating in Vans. Vans were not very popular in the 80s/90s and didn't seem to start getting popular again until 2000s. With Vans Skateparks popping up, and all the contests they put on, they certainly gained back a little market share, especially after they were purchased by another large company in 2004. My favorite most comfy skate shoes ever were made by NICE (~1996?) that were like a Taupe colored suede. They kind of looked basic, almost cheap on the outside, but they held up for 2-3x longer than any other shoe I ever had skating. From Vision Street Wear suedes (nearly identical construction to Vans Full Cabs), bulky Airwalk hightops, to Etnies, eS, Emerica, DC, and others. I didn't really like when they started all looking like super bulky Basketball shoes. I know Dyrdek had some influence on that as he had dozens of shoe designs he created with DC.

@@hazepheno925 DC were the "poser" shoe in my town growing up. With their atrocious build quality no one who actually skated wore them. People either had the cheapest models they put out cause they were broke (no shade, I was broke too) or their $130 "fashion" oriented shoes that were trying to compete with the Circa, Osiris and Supra flashy hightops. No idea if DC finally upped their build quality but I'll certainly never skate them. Not even my love of Dyrdek growing up could keep me buying them after I shredded two pairs in two weeks.

I fell in love with the D3 1st time I saw them, I tried to get them in every colorway, I got most. Sk8'n them kinda sucked though. Couldn't feel the board and I found out the hard way, you can't fly a plane in them either. I was learning to fly in a Cessna 172 and the shoes were way too wide for the pedals, I had to take them off and fly in my socks that day. I wore my D3's more casually. I sk8 best in Etnies Callicut and Adidas Superstar.

I had completely forgotten about the impact those sneakers had in the 00's. You have brought back very good memories. greetings from Tijuana Mexico

The 2001 model (this one) looks so incredibly different from the OG ('99) that has tons of mesh on it and a ring for the laces in the centre of the tongue. Had both versions at one point, still think the OG is a nicer shoe, and puffier overall (which let's be honest was the reason we all wanted them lol). 2001 revision is real nice feeling on the feet though and is much more comfortable than the original release imo.

My man is SOOO thorough wit his information, I've NEVER seen another channel likes ur bro, aint NO ONE doin the same things ur doin! (Atleast to my knowledge). Keep up the GREAT work fr. 👊

It seems silly now, but as a skater, the D3's were seen as the poser shoes that non-skaters wore for fashion. Never owned a pair for that reason.

I mean, in reality they were more casual or fashion shoes, over what a person should want in a responsive skate shoe. In that sense, you have nothing to feel off about. Plenty of non skaters did wear them and other puffy skate shoes. However, I've always laughed at how ridiculous skateboarding is as a culture. So elitist for something that is supposed to be a counter culture. Don't hold the board this way, Don't wear this band's T-shirt, he's pushing mongo, ect. My absolute favorite is how nitpicky people will get on a game of SKATE "But I said only flat ground fakie flip tricks"! That argument really never happens in other sports. Still a fun sport, but just can't get over some of the culture stuff.

And you are right about the convincing of parents, not an easy task especially when they were so expensive (for the time), my 12yr old self had to spend an entire summer washing cars and mowing the good old neighborhood lawns to save up the $$$ to own a pair. Still my favorite skate shoes to this day!

Loved these shoes, I had em in like 3 diff colors. A few weeks ago I found the old osiris promo book from when these came out. It was really cool looking through all the shoes and clothing from the time, half of it I'd still rock today.

Major flash back, I had rhe Grey and yellow colorway back in the day with yellow laces, one of my fav pair of shoes back then.

i was hoping for this video but never tought it would happen. great job.

I had these in just Grey back in the day, moved onto wearing Osiris Bronx which were also super puffy. Both super sweaty tbh but I think Bronx have D3's beat for the amount of foam in them... at least the early Bronx(of which there are many), the last few models became super slim with no foam at all.

I remember wanting these so bad when they were around. It was one of the first shoes that even non skater wore in my school.

Could never afford shoes like these as a kid but one day I was blading at local park and a kid asked for a trade for while on his deck and I can still remember that experience like it was yesterday 🥰 felt like I just slipped my feet into some clouds with all that foam and I didn't want to take them off at the end of the session. Was legit the only time putting on someone else's shoe and it didn't feel foriegn AF but now looking at that mid I can see why 👌

I loved this pair of shoes, I've had five pairs. I recently ordered an unopened original pack - it's now in my collection. Thank you for this great video and great channel.

I was so jealous of my friend who had a pair and I bought a pair a few years back to actually have a pair … never ended up keeping as they are really not my style now but was interesting getting them. Great to see what’s inside thanks for the video 🤘

Love the video’s! But what about some videos of boot brands in Europe for your fans overseas? Love from Amsterdam!

I remember I went to a skate tour in ‘96 or so and all the pro skaters were selling their extra shoes. I wanted a pair of Sal 23’s or Eric Koston’s and they were close to 100 at the skate shop and these dudes were selling them for $20-30. But all the pro skaters were little dudes and nobody had my size.

I remember wanting these so bad until I went to buy them tried them on and they were so uncomfortable for my wider feed. So I bought the ct-4 globe shoes with the attached tongue and by far were the most comfortable shoes I ever wore, I still buy globes to this day over 20 years later and they still make a couple models almost the same with the attached tongue.

I had the original release of these shoes. There was a limited edition later on with the S.N.G. Pants and I had those too. My mom kept me fresh as a kid. Thanks ma!

I collect the D3 2001 and now the Original (since their return in 2022) and this was such a neat video. I've always wondered what was inside but never had the heart to cut them in half, haha. Anyway, awesome video, maybe you can do another skate icon by Globe called the CT-IV? They were huge during the same time as the D3 in the early 2000's and in my school the cool kids either had the D3 or the CT-IV. Forgot to mention, the CT-IV has a built in tongue that is fused with the rest of the shoe! It's so unique and I'd love to see what it looks like.

I'm an osiris fan through and through only shoes I've worn for the last 20years other than work boots. I finally opened my original release 2001 d3 to wear just this last Christmas and they do not disappoint. Thanks for showing the insides cause I would never be able to do that to my shoes willingly.

If you could review more skate shoes it would be tight, the durability of skate shoes is super important and I would love to see detailed videos not just skating them but showing everything that goes into the shoe

Never thought I’d see this shoe on your program but I’m 100% here for it.

I been rocking Osiris shoes since 7th grade. And 15+ years later I still love them over all other shoes. Not these ones but almost all others look amazing!

Please could you do a video on the Adidas Forum '84's blue thread? I'm curious to see your opinion on the quality of the meterials used on my favourite shoes. Huge respect from here in the UK, I love your videos!

I just got two new pairs, all black and the tan/copper pair, they are just as big and ridiculous as i remember them, and dumb comfy. Ive been rocking NYC 83's for 20 years now, i fell off the D3 train about 10 years ago but now that they are making a come back and Osiris seems to be releasing them in a steady stream I was sure to grab a few pairs. You can all thank me for keeping Osiris in business because for the last 20 years because every time my friends would comment on my NYC 83's they'd say "You have got to be the only guy keeping Osiris in business man, you gotta give it up already"

Awesome video! Can you cut some Globe skateboard shoes in half? Preferably the Sabre or Tilt styles

I had the yellow and grey D3 2001 and they were great skate shoes. Good memories.

This was excellent! Definitely would love to see you cut up a pair of Adidas Forum 84 hi. That or any 80s converse basketball shoes.

These things have a special place in my heart and Ben though I think they are ridiculous, a kid at the park I used to skate who was always sort of picked on even though deep down everyone loved the guy, talked his unemployed single mom that used to pick up cans into buying him a pair and he was a small kid so everyone made endless jokes about his shoes that he was so proud of

I had the grey and yellow 2001’s in 2001 and they were insanely comfortable. I used to hit my ankle a lot skating if I missed a flip trick and these remedied that. For me that was worth the money (that my parents paid) just to not limp around campus. Also, I made the choice to wear these for the year vs getting 5 pairs of Vans. Still worth it in my mind and it’s cool to see how the center cut looks. Thanks for this! Checking online they’re around $100 these days. Might have to buy a pair and download some Limp Bizkit to relive what I consider to be the golden era of street skating.

Oh man, these and the Globe CT-IV's were my favorite shoes in high school. Those were such great years in skating and fashion, when we started phasing out of Jinco jeans😂

In 2001 the Osiris shoes were great for stairs and drops for me. They absorbed a lot of impact compared to the vans, emerica and globe shoes I wore for more tech tricks. The Josh Kaspers were one of my favorites. I remember a lot of “Posers” wore them, that never even stepped foot on a skateboard. I still find it weird at an older age when I talk to someone that wears skate or surf brands but don’t do either. The pro skater Dave Mayhew, who designed that shoe killed it in the Osiris video with those shoes. His interview in the Nine Club is worth watching or listening.

I had the original version of this shoe in high school (not the 2001s) in navy with yellow accents. loved the look but they ran pretty small so they were really uncomfortable, i couldnt return them because i ordered them from a catalog and i was like 15 and didnt know any better so i just wore them for a while anyway. also yeah, sole was so thick and hard that there was like no boardfeel at all, like skating in air maxes or whatever. i think i went back to wearing DC or Vans after these.

I didn't skate myself but I grew up with so many skaters in Southern California, and these huge ass puffy shoes are such a nostalgia trip

These and the Reebok Answer 5s were the most popular shoes in my 2001-2002 5th grade elementary school, loved them both still to 5his day. It's funny because it was Reebok & Osiiris and Jordan's ofc.

I loved this. I wonder what the original D3 2001 looked like on the inside/how similar they are to this re-release. I was lucky enough to buy two pairs of these shoes back in the day, the black and red and the black and blue. My nonna HATED them. They were super stiff and gave me blisters but I wore them to death both to skateboard and just as a leisure shoe anyway. I remember them being super hot, and with all that padding, yeah, makes sense.

Will you cut open mountaineering boots? Curious to see the inside and what you think about the construction

Cool video I would like to see you cut the Ariat Rebar Flex Patriot work boot that would be neat

I actually had the grey and yellow ones you wanted 😛 i worked at a motocross track and was able to buy them myself (i was 16 at the time). they were awesome shoes, i went to the bad high school where there weren’t any skaters and people were amazed at the shoes they would call them moon boots and other names i can’t remember lol… and i had them double laced, (they came with both black and yellow puffy laces) for a added dramatic look… i got rid of them like 12 years ago they were thrashed and long forgotten, then about a month ago i don’t know how i came across thinking about them, i found out they have a 15 year anniversary limited edition pair that are black with gold accents ! and i am in talks with someone with a pair ! Pretty excited about it, the nogostic of re-owning a dope shoe from my teenage years.

I believe I had a pair of D3s in 2001, but it might have been another Osiris skate shoe. At the time, people thought there was some major performance benefit to wearing big chunky skate shoes. In retrospect, that seems a bit silly but the padding in the tongue and collar was helpful in reducing impact if a flip trick goes wrong. For a second, I thought this was going to be about the Muska shoe that had the stash pocket. Now that I've looked it up, that shoe was made by és tho.

lol man i'm old .. i had the grey and yellow pair in high school... they weren't exactly the best for actually skateboarding but they were so flippin comfortable just to wear. i loved them

Do the Air Monarch next! I sell so many of those and I want to know why Dad's love them!

I drooled over these shoes in middle school so bad. It took a long time but I finally got a pair on sale. I was so pumped except for I jumped down a a few stairs and one of the air units popped. It was the part showing behind your heal. It split along a seam in the clear vinyl. Then it clicked when I walked. Adio Kenny Anderson V1’s were better.

Check out the Dada Spreewells!! They came out early 2000’s! They had a air unit in them and when you would step down it would rotate a spinning rim on the side of the shoe!! I loved them!! Very unique!

I worked in a surf shop in 99/2000 and sold a lot of these and the Healeys. You should look inside of Healeys. (I think I spelled it wrong)

Along the same lines, would you take apart ES accel. I am curious what you think of the quality of the shoe.

What made these so popular was the fact they were made of tough rubber compared to your standard vans and Etnies that would wear out after weeks of skating. These shoes where the holy grail on the inside skating circle when they dropped. Nobody had to replace they’re old vans after they came out with these. Forever a change in the skate scene for the shoes we wore. I got a pair of these from my older cousin as some hand me downs. Wish I still had them.

I used to rock these back in the day, i loved these so much it was the first shoe i bought multiple pairs lol i had no clue about all the drama around them but i had them in 99 i think it was, i know i was still in high school and i graduated in 2000

Great video God bless!

Never cut towards you, always away from. I got goosebumps watching.

i had these when they first came out. Awesome to see you cut them.

I had these in blue on white. Wish I knew what happened to them. Edit: at the end of the video you asked what people who had them thought, and how they held up. I didn't skate in mine because I had a job and bought them with my own money and I didn't want to destroy shoes that I paid that much for. I didn't wear mine a whole lot because after I had them for about a week I started to dislike how bulky they were and I much preferred my etnies. But I did wear them here and there for probably about 3 years. I kept them clean and only wore them to school or to go out on the weekends if I wasn't working. And I have to say, they felt extremely durable for the time. They never really broke in. And they were so absurdly puffy and bulky that they were practically impossible to crease. The air pockets held up, none of them busted, but I'm sure they would have if I skated in them.

@Rose Anvil You should take a look at the Milwaukee Boot Company’s Products. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Pfister Pain toe.

Please do a shoe review on Sperry and docksides shoes sir.

Bought a pair when it first got popular most recently, year later i loved it so much that i bought 3 more the year after having worn pretty much no other shoes at all since their arrival (and that's with the varying climate in Norway). First one is in a bit of a state - worn though the insole and the heel padding has a giant hole in it, but nothing i can't patch up with some basic stuffing and a patch sewn over. Anything that'll make them last longer. The logo under them is also breaking down though, not sure if i should glue it or just cut it off. Opinions and advice welcome. As for feel - i can barely notice large gravel, which is exactly what i want from a shoe as a non-skating (sorry lol) person who hates any sensory input that can be avoided.

I had a pair of white ones second hand from my skater friend. They worked well bmxing. Very obnoxiously puffy but we didn't notice back then.

Okay I’ve been thinking about this for a week, Please do the etnies marana. The backstory is, they have a three times more durable formula that they just released however, in doing that, they got rid of their old formula and I am under the belief that nothing actually changed. They always offered the 3X durable in a Ryan Sheckler pro model, so a year ago, I bought that as well as their classic marinas and they seem to hold up equivalently After I made that realization they stopped selling their classics and said all of their shoes are now three times more durable Please get to the bottom of this🤩 Thanks🤙

I just bought a pair of the 30 year anniversary version of the Half Cab from vans, but the full blue suede version. Definitely interested to see them split in two😈

I’d love to see the inside of a pair of Etnies Vallely’s. Best BMX shoe ever made.
