- Today we're going to review some shoes.
But not just any shoes.
These are very special shoes.
These are Lincoln do you know
what the names of this are?
- Uh, this are the Nike Kal-iheya
starts with the K dorinbauker
Nike Air Zoom Pulse Doernbrcher Kahlea Corona.
- Corona?It actually says corona on it?
- Yeah duh
- Did they name it that before Corona happened?
These are not shoes for Lincoln or I.
As you can tell this are actually nurse shoes.
These are the first shoes
that Nike's ever made specifically for nurses
or health care providers.
- Yeah - Cause there's
a lot of unique challenges
that healthcare providers see.
You know, there's liquids that are on the floor
that they might slip on.
There's liquids that might spill on their shoe,
blood, urine, lots of gross stuff.
Nurses and doctors
are some of the hardest working
people that we have in the world.
And they're working a 12 hour shifts
24 hour shifts, and so it needs
to be something that's comfortable.
Cause they're on their feet a lot.
So that's what Nike did when
they made this shoe in 2019.
But after they were made
little thing happened called Coronavirus
- Coronavirus - COVID-19.
- Coronavirus.
- To be specific COVID-19
- When that happened,
Nike was sitting there looking
at their stockpile of these shoes.
They had 30,000 shoes and they decided,
you know what?
- That's a lot?
- Rather than sell these to nurses,
why don't we give them away.
But they got them set up
so that they could send them
to some of the hospitals that were hit hardest.
Really, really cool thing.
Well, of course - Yeah
- right when we saw that,
I'm like, I need to see these shoes.
We need to review them.
We need to see what's inside of them.
In order to give this a true test,
we need to give them to a nurse.
Fortunately, Lincoln and I know a nurse.
Our employee Hunter who's awesome.
- Hi, Hunter
- His wife is a nurse in the ICU
at Intermountain hospital here in Utah.
It's pretty cool that Hunter's wife Tait works
for Intermountain Healthcare.
Because Intermountain Healthcare
is the sponsor of today's video.
COVID-19 has been quite a challenge
for all the communities around the United States
even here in Utah.
Despite all the challenges with COVID-19
going on right now in our community
and across United States.
It is reassuring to know
that Intermountain Healthcare
is open and ready to safely care for us.
One thing to remember just because COVID-19
is really strong right now.
It's really important that people don't delay
their important health care needs.
If you have tightness of chest
or shortness of breath,
or you have signs of a stroke.
Make sure that you get checked out of a hospital.
They're prepared to take
care of you in a very safe,
very clean, sanitary way.
Don't be afraid to go to the hospitals
if you have severe issues with your health.
Intermountain Healthcare has multiple ways
to take care of you.
Whether it's a video visit,
whether it's a drive through visit.
They even have COVID-19 testing centers
that are outside of their hospital.

So before we dive deep into this shoe
and take it apart.
Let's take it
to an Intermountain Healthcare employee.
Let let them tried out for two weeks
and let's see what she thinks about this.
So
- Let's go
- Let's deliver some shoes to a nurse.
That sounds fun.
(upbeat music)
All right,we made it
- Got the shoes
- We got the shoes.
- Yes
- This is it.
- Hello
- Hi - Hi
- We've got Hunter
- Hi - Thanks bro
- Is that what you're supposed to say Lincoln?
What are you supposed to say?
- Hi Hunter
Hi Hunter.
- So these are the nursing shoes right here
Tait you are a nurse at Intermountain Healthcare.
Okay, grab those shoes,
take a look at them.
And we're gonna keep a safe six feet distance.
- Well actually, those are really cool.
They have little nursing cuties on them.
- [dad] Have you ever seen anybody using those?
- I have not.
- [dad] What kind of shoes do you wear right now?
- I wear these their Nike too,
but they're super old and kind of falling apart.
I've had them for like six years.
- [dad] They don't look like they're made for nursing.
- Yeah - No.
This look like they'll be really cool
- So Tait's gonna try these on.
And for two weeks.
- Yeah - Give it a shot.
- Sweet
- And then we want honest feedback.
This video is not sponsored by Nike.
We bought these shoes
and they were not cheap because
we got them on StockX.
So they were like 3 to $500 just for these shoes.
That's not what Nike was selling them for before
but because Nike is giving all 30,000
of them to nurses around the world.
There's really none available for people like me
or other nurses that just wanna buy them
because maybe their hospital didn't get them.
So she's gonna take these to work for two weeks
and then we will follow up in this video.
All right, goodbye.
(piano beats)
Okay, this is not something that I do very often
but it is six in the morning and I'm up early.
We gave the shoes to Tait.
It has not been two weeks,
it's actually been a month and a half
and we wanna go and check on her
and see what she thinks about them.
The tricky part is Tait like many nurses
works the night shift.
So she goes to work at 6:30pm
and she leaves and goes home at 6:30am.
So we need to be there at 6:30am
at the hospital to get her review of the shoes
Because for her it's time to go home,
be there for a few hours
and go to sleep for the night.
And we wanna make sure that she gets her sleep.
(upper beat music)
Right now it is a Sunday morning
and it's actually Father's Day today.
So I know this is late when you're seeing this
but Happy Father's Day to all the fathers
that are out there.
Wanted to do something a little extra nice
for Tait and for her nursing unit.
So I got $540 in gift cards
to some of my favorite restaurants in town.
It is good to do nice things for nurses.
They work so hard and they do an important job
that not a lot of us could ever do.
I know when we had our kids,
I thought to myself,
I am so grateful for nurses
I can't believe they're here.
And they're doing this job which wasn't to me
the most exciting job.
And you gotta think about the things that they see
in the hospital when you're at your worst.
(upbeat music)
Because we're out in public
and we want to be safe.
I did get a mask so we will wear a mask
when I see her today and let's go find Tait.
Check it out!
There is Tait the nurse
and let's see you've got the shoes on down here.
How are they holding up
- They're holding up great - after a few weeks
- Yeah, I like them a lot.
I haven't had them all broken in now.
They're working pretty good.
They're pretty comfortable.
They're kind of a mix between
a clog and a normal sneaker.
So I don't have any problem
running around in them.
- Do your shoes get nasty stuff on them as a nurse?
- You know, unfortunately, sometimes they do.
- What have people thought about the shoes?
Other nurses, doctors,
Is anybody say anything about them?
- Yeah, almost everybody.
And sometimes my patients are like,
oh yeah nurse your shoes are so cute.
How do they compare to your other ones
that were just regular Nike shoes
that were not made for nursing?
- They are different,
they're more comfortable.
I usually can't wear Nike
because I have like I need like arch support.
I like Asics.
But these have helped a lot.
Actually they feel good on the balls of my feet.
They feel nice and padded.
We're on our feet for 12 hours a day
so we need a lot of support.
- This is Tait shoe,
I'm gonna take it off
and make her go barefoot for a second.
And I'm gonna get really far away
so I can take off my mask.
It's held up pretty well.
Do I dare smell it?
- Oh!Gross
- It is dirty but I think most of that's just
from the asphalt that we're standing
on right now.
It looks brand new and clean on the top
and she's been wearing this
on four 12 hour shifts a week.
And I'm impressed they've held up really well.
This is some sort of plastic on the outside
that makes it so you can wipe
it off really easily.
And I do like what she said
about the inside of it
That it has really good support for her foot.
You can see that support like in the arch area
and then in the balls of her feet.
Yum, it does have enough cushioning
that she said that are safe.
And then on the bottom,
this is like a stick free material.
So that nurses when they're walking
on different types of flooring.
Whether it's slippery or whatever.
It should be a non slip type
of material on the bottom.
Which are some things that you don't get
just from a regular shoe.
And unfortunately a lot of nurses
just wear normal shoes.
Because they get what they can afford
and get what's available.
The back of these shoes are kinda weird.
Do you like the way that they are ?
Is that easy to get on and off?
- I do, I usually my old shoes,
I would just step on the backs
because I would try and get out in a hurry.
But these are so nice
they're super easy to take on and off.
You just kinda like slip them on.
- Is it too tight back there?
- No it's not.
But I'd super like it a lot
because it grips onto the back of your feet.
So you can run around the unit in them
and they still work.
- Okay, she's had a few weeks
to try these shoes on
and she's got them here
But now we gotta know
what as your rating out of 10
How would you rate these shoes?
- For a nursing shoe I think 10/10
- I think - 10/10 really?
they're better than I've ever tried before.
- The purpose of this video
is to take these shoes off
and to cut them into half.
Are you okay with me taking them apart?
- If it must be done,
it can be done.
- Here's a change in plans a little bit.
I think Tait loves these shoes.
She is a nurse.
I don't see how I can take the shoes
off of her feet that she likes as a nurse
And shoes that we can't get again
and cut them open.
So yeah, this video is on the Family Channel.
We are not gonna cut open those shoes.
You can keep the shoes, they're yours
- Thank you
That's actually makes me so happy
- How many nurses do you have
on your if floor you think?
- Depends on the day
but like, per day there's like 20 on the floor.
- Twenty
- Maybe.
- Cool that's a lot
I don't know if this gonna work
but here's some gift cards.
- Oh, my heck.
- This is a lot - Thank you
- of gift cards.
If you could give that
to like one to every nurse.
- Yes, I can do that
- That work?
- That works
- Okay, - Thank you.
- Thank you to Intermountain Healthcare
for sponsoring this video.
If you have a chance,
go do something nice for a nurse.
There are so many of them out there
and they are literally
on the front lines of this pandemic.
Helping to make sure that we all stay safe.
As a reminder like I said earlier.
If you have some serious health issues,
if you have a shortness of breath,
chest pains, a signs of a stroke.
Whatever it may be,
don't just stay at home
because you're scared of going to the hospital.
Because maybe there's some
Coronavirus patients there.
The hospital is doing all that they can right now
to make sure that every patient
can go in safely.
They're sanitizing the rooms,
they're taking care of everything.
The nurses have their face masks on.
They wash their hands between every visit
or they have gloves on.
It is a safe place.
Make sure that you take care of yourself.
And Intermountain Healthcare is here for you.
For now at 630 In the morning,
we're gonna let Tait finish her shift
and go back home.
We wanna say thank you to the nurses
that are working really, really hard
to make sure that we fight this Coronavirus safely.
And also we gotta give big kudos to Nike
for giving away 30,000 of these nursing shoes
Their entire inventory,
just giving them away to nurses.
I wish they had a few hundred thousand more
because there are definitely a lot of nurses
that could benefit from these Nike shoes.
Maybe they'll make more that they can sell.
Or maybe they'll make more than they can give away.
But for now very cool shoes 10 out of 10
Good job Nike.
(upbeat music)
These are not shoes for Lincoln or I
As you can... - Nope
- Whoa, the bulb died
