- Hello, hello, my name is Dorian, joined by my wife
and celebrity menswear stylist Ashley Weston.
- Hi there!
- So, fellas, today we've got a new addition
to the "Worth It?" series.
(upbeat music)
So, I've been wearing these for about
two weeks now, right, Ash?
- Yeah.
- And so, I think, from your perspective,
it's interesting to hear what you love about them.
- Yeah.
- And then we'll talk about what I loved about them,
and then we'll talk about--
- Especially since you use them, so, yeah.
- Since I am the user.
- You are the user.
- You are the person who hands it to the user
(Ashley laughing)
to then use, and then they give it back to you.
So, let's talk about, Ash, what we love about the sneaker,
the Reid Sneaker by Beckett Simonon.
- So, these are made out of full grain leather.
Fantastic.
Great craftsmanship.
Love the super clean design.
There is literally not one logo
on the outside
of this sneaker. - Love that, love it.
- It's fantastic.
I actually think it gives all the luxury
sneaker brands out there a run for their money,
when it comes to a clean, sleek sneaker like this.
- And I have to say, they're really damn comfortable.
For a sneaker like this, kind of flat sole, straight up,
they are very cushiony, and I really, really,
really like that they actually give you
additional inserts as well.
I like opened it up, and I was like,
wait, what are these black things in here?
Oh, they're additional inserts!
Very few brands actually do that,
and I like their different ones too.
You can add just a little more cushion.
You could add more cushion.
Frankly, I don't use them,
because they've been very, very, very comfortable.
And I have to say, Ash, they're very soft
and supple as well.
The leather, that full grain leather,
is really, really good, and I like it a lot.
I also really like that they come in multiple colorways.
I prefer the white,
'cause I need a nice, clean white sneaker,
but they have other options as well.
So, Ash, what else do you like about these?
What's another pro of the shoe?
- Ooh, free shipping and returns.
- So, the best part, if you don't like them,
or for whatever reason,
they don't live up to expectations, just return 'em.
It's all free, costs you nothing.
And the last, I think, pro of these shoes,
definitely not least, is that, for this type of quality,
I gotta say, the price is pretty damn good.
And what is that price, Ashley?
- 149. (dinging)
- So, 150 bucks, free shipping and free returns,
you get really, really, really soft,
supple full grain leather, very comfortable sneaker,
variety of colors, I like white,
with really clean design,
no logos whatsoever on it.
Mm, mm, mm.
They're hitting (Ashley laughing)
every point for me,
literally every single point.
I don't know if that's the same for you?
- It is.
- Let's get into the cons then.
What do you feel is a downside of the shoe, if there is any?
- So, I was thinking really long and hard about this,
and I think this is the first time
during this "Worth It?" series,
when we're talking about pros and cons,
that I don't have a con whatsoever. (laughs)
I love the design!
The design is awesome!
So, and then the user experience from you is fantastic.
So, I'm sorry.
There is not anything that I would improve upon it
in terms of the design of the shoe.
- And, again, these are the ones that I've been wearing
for the last couple of weeks.
I haven't even cleaned them, which is wonderful.
I've been, you know, obviously I'm not
stepping in mud puddles, trying to dirty them up.
So, my one con, the one thing I will say,
for whatever reason, this little edge right here
feels like it could be a quarter inch taller.
(Ashley laughing)
I'm getting very nit-picky, obviously,
but for, I got long legs, equally long ankles and stuff,
so this probably won't be a problem for anyone else,
and it could be the pair of socks
I was wearing with them or something like that,
maybe it was a little slippery,
but it just felt like maybe
it just needs to be just like slightly taller.
And again, I think it might just be me more than anything.
So, I'm sorry to put it as a con.
- That was a lame con. (laughs)
- Well, I'm doing what I can to be,
you know, fair and balanced here,
but I really,
outside of that, - Sorry.
- I don't really have one. - Yeah, I like it.
- But I noticed it, so I gotta bring it up.
So, the ultimate question, the reason we're all here,
are the Beckett Simonon Reid Sneakers worth it or not?
- Yes, they are.
(upbeat music)
- Unequivocally, is there
any reason - Unequivocally
- they would not be worth it?
- No, other than the fact that Simonon
is really hard to pronounce. (laughs)
But, Simonon?
I mean, that's a little tough to pronounce,
but other than that, I mean, I'm sorry, the shoe is great.
The price point for the quality is fantastic.
- I have to say, I 100% agree.
These are my go-to white sneakers.
When I got them, it was like, okay,
I'll give it another shot.
I mean, we do these pretty regularly,
and sometimes I'm not quite impressed.
Sometimes, eh, pretty good.
Other times, like this time, these are freaking fantastic!
- Wooh! (crowd cheering)
- You should absolutely (Ashley laughing)
pick them up.
Again, they come in different colors,
so if you don't like the all white look, totally fine.
Check the link in the description below
to grab a pair for yourself.
Again, I can't stress it enough,
free shipping, free returns, why not just grab 'em?
- You got nothing to lose.
- Send 'em back, yeah, there's literally nothing you'd lose.
