This is my pair of Adidas Ronans after approximately 15 hours of skating. These turn out to be a lot more durable than expected at first sight, so they should easily outlive the 25 hours mark. Expect the full review in Place Magazine this summer and -as always- there will be an English version a…
I updated the publications page today. Under this category you’ll find all reviews I did for print magazines so far, mostly for German Place Magazine. All these reviews have been transated into English as well, except for the Lakai Puig 2, which has been discontinued due to Lukas Puigs switch to Adidas and the Gravis…
It took them some time to arrive at my doorstep, but they are finally here, my pair of Adidas Ronans. Expect a review in Place Magazine sometime in May and a few weeks later I’ll post a translated version on weartested.com as well.
The well known SneakerFreaker Magazine recently expanded and is offering a German Magazine as well as a website now. I’m proud to be part of their blog network and hope to use this space as a place for my personal opinion concerning skate shoes and the surrounding fields as opposed to weartested.com, where I try…
The first weartested review of 2011 is about the Habitat Quest. Keeping in mind that Habitat is still a pretty young company in the skate footwear market, they already did a pretty good job with the Quest and I’m curious how they’ll continue in 2011. Thanks to Jaime Fernandez at Habitat for the test samples….
When I moved the whole weartested content to it’s new home www.weartested.de last year, it was only my second favourite URL. Of cause I wanted www.weartested.com, but although it wasn’t used in any way , it was already owned by someone else. During 2010, I got the chance to finaly buy it and since yesterday,…
As already announced in my last post about the Amsterdam weartest, I was working on a small review about Nike SB FP . It turned out to be a bit longer than the average “One day with…” review, but due to the many features I decided that the FP deserves it. Thanks again to Kaspar,…
During the last month I was fortunate to skate a pair of Nike SBs newest model, the Zoom FP. The good guys at Nike SB Europe, Kaspar, Bjorn and Agra where able to get me a pair in my size a little bit earlier , thanks again! But to top it of I got invited…
Long overdue, but here it is, the C1rca Talon review. Definitely an underrated shoe, I hope my review will be a small contribution to change that. Thanks again to Julien Duval at C1rca for the samples. High quality PDF: The C1rca Talon review
Here’s the first review after the short summer break. After the Converse Chuck Taylor Skate review that I did for Place Magazine last winter I figured the Pappalardo Pro might be worth a try as well. It turned out to be quite a good model too, read more about it in the actual review. Thanks to Jonathan…
My colleagues and friends Juergen Bluemlein and Daniel Schmid updated their great book “MADE FOR SKATE” with additional content and more pictures. Have a look at their homepage www.madeforskate.com and get yourself a copy, it’s worth it!
After some very busy summer months that didn’t leave me any time to work on reviews there will be a huge comeback of the weartested site during the next few weeks. Starting already tomorrow there will be a new review every week for 3 weeks in a row (..if everything works out as planned…). Here’s…
