Hey, what's going on guys? This is
0:11
Tyberhouse.com and today we're going to
0:13
be looking at a Nike Initiator. Now,
0:15
I've called this shoe the quintessential
0:17
dad shoe. Pretty much this shoe is
0:20
almost like reminiscent of the Air
0:21
Monarch and then the new New Balance
0:24
2002. If you see Nike now, they're going
0:26
back to like more dad shoes, shoes of
0:28
the 2000s, and this one reflects that
0:30
exactly. All right. I picked this off
0:32
for my son on Saturday at the DTLR, and
0:35
he absolutely loves it. Now, as far as
0:37
like the uppers are concerned, this
0:39
colorway is pretty much silver, black,
0:42
red, and white. Okay. Now, as far as
0:45
like the uppers, so what you have on the
0:46
uppers is a lot of mesh. Mesh all the
0:49
way throughout, and then some synthetic
0:51
overlays on the toe. more synthetic
0:53
overlay across the panels. And then your
0:56
swoosh logo is made with some kind of
0:58
patent uh glossy material on the back
1:01
side. You also have more mesh here and
1:03
then more synthetic overlay. Now I don't
1:05
know if these are these are probably not
1:06
3M. Okay. And then you have some holes
1:07
in the back and Nike text. And then the
1:09
other side you pretty much have the same
1:11
pattern repeated. Now as far as like the
1:14
the shoe itself is really lightweight
1:16
and it is really breathable. Now this
1:19
mesh material here is conducive of
1:20
airflow. So you can wear this in the
1:23
summer, you can wear this in any uh time
1:25
of the year and you will be comfortable.
1:27
Now the tongue and this extension is
1:28
built with some kind of mesh again. And
1:30
then inside of the mesh, you do have in
1:33
it uh a layer of foam to cushion your
1:35
your foot in there. And then on the
1:37
tongue, you have a Nike uh logo and then
1:40
Nike. It says Nike. And you have those
1:43
round laces and then the lace hole here
1:46
to hold it. Now my son trying to loose
1:48
lace them. I don't know. They all kids
1:50
like fun things these days. Now, as far
1:52
as the cushioning, you have again a full
1:54
midsole. No air unit, no none of that
1:56
stuff. Just foam midsole. It's really
1:58
responsive. Incredible. This is good for
2:01
like running, walking, just dayto-day
2:04
24/7. If you if you're a teacher, you
2:06
need a shoe to stand on, this probably
2:07
does the job. And then you have your
2:09
flex grooves on the outsole. Pretty
2:11
good. And the outsole is really sturdy.
2:13
So, it's not bendable. So that does a
2:15
good job because you don't want your
2:16
shoes to bend so quick because that's a
2:19
way to get injured. Inside you have uh
2:21
again an insole here which is also
2:23
pretty dense. So which is good for your
2:25
again more cushioning for you. And then
2:27
on the headliner you have again a double
2:29
layer of foam material. It's a foam here
2:32
and that does a lot more uh cushioning
2:35
for you as well. Now again this is a
2:37
textile material and this again is a
2:39
more mesh. I actually had a video of my
2:41
son wearing the shoe which I'll be
2:42
showing you. So, if you want to grab
2:44
this, I'll have a link for you in the
2:45
description. Again, thanks for watching
2:47
and stay tuned for more stuff. And by
2:49
the way, this like a true to size. So,
2:50
he wears a size 13 now. This this kid is
2:53
growing so quick, man. All right. Again,
2:55
thanks for watching. This is T from
2:56
Master Kicks and stay tuned for more
