don't be that one person in dance classes with the crocs. welcome back to
our channel y'all, and we'll be going over STEEZY's top ten favorite dance
sneakers, in no particular order, for a variety of dance styles and purposes. we
looked at four main things: weight, material and features of the shoe, what
type of movement it's best for, and price. let's start with a cheapest shoe on the
list: the Champion Gusto Runner. also known as
the Gusto Cross Trainer, this shoe is great for first-time dancers and even
seasoned veterans. it's lightweight, breathable, and comfortable with its
memory foam insole. the Gustos are best for being light on your feet and getting
your knees up, so check out your local Payless Shoes to get it for as low as
$15. next: the Puma Suede Classics. the classics are a mid weight shoe with a
signature one-piece suede upper. the sole is dense, but surprisingly flexible which
makes the Puma Suedes great for stomping, sliding, shoe tricks, and
especially for styles like b-boying and krumping. a longtime dancer favorite,
these sneakers were one of the first shoes that b-boys and b-girls wore. you
can get it today at a very affordable price tag: for as low as $20 and as high
as $65. moving on: the Adidas Gazelles. the gazelles are a great alternative to the
Puma Suedes if you're looking for something a little lighter. the shoes'
materials and rubber soles are pretty similar. just don't be expecting to be
stomping in these because they'll be wearing out a bit faster. we recommend
these for its fresh color ways and for dancing faster. starting as low as 20 and
up to $80. stomping in next: the Air Force 1s at first glance these might look
bulky, but they're much lighter than they seem. mid weight with a thick sole and
premium leather upper, these shoes are a favorite for anyone to glide, jook, turf,
stomp, or hit a stick toe spin. for standard adult sizes, these are around
$90 for basic colorways like a classic all-white. and the most expensive
colorways can go up to $1,000. well balanced and the only New Balance shoes
on this list: the 574s. this is the most customizable sneaker on this list. where
you can change materials and colors on almost every part of this shoe,
down to the tongue label. it's sturdy in construction, deceptively lightweight,
cushiony with a comfortable foam sole, as well as light floor grip, making it a
standout shoe for sliding, spinning, and staying on your toes. basic colorways
cost as low as $30 and you can customize it for $150.
boosting its way in: the Adidas Ultraboost. it's hard not to think this shoe
feels like a sock with how comfortable it is, but unlike most sock-like shoes, the
the upper cage and padded collar grips to the feet surprisingly well. the Boost's
foam sole is made from these bouncy white energy capsules that's thick
around the heel to mid foot. but the grip pattern gives it a better performance
feel than similar shoes like the NMDs. the Ultraboosts are good for switching
from heel to toe, jumping, sliding, spinning, and long rehearsals. you can get
these shoes for as low as $60 to as high as $640. next up,
everyone's favorite trash shoe to dance in: the Vans Authentics. full disclosure,
we love Authentics. but we're calling them out for one reason: the sole. the
problematic signature waffle-cone sole is oddly both dense and too thin at the
same time. so it's really easy to see why people have mixed feelings about this
shoe. for dancing, we recommend being light on your toes and keeping your feet
flat on the ground. honestly we're all probably still gonna
dance in them anyways. the Authentics have tons of great styles with different
materials, colors, patterns, and can feel really great to dance in. you can find
these for around $60 and up. and then there's the Vans hotter older sister,
the Old Skools. these are a step up from the Authentics because the padded collar and
longer laces give better lock down onto your feet. but you'll be experiencing the
same problems with the sole. you'll have a better time shifting your weight from
heel to toe with the extra lockdown but make sure to stay light on your feet and
you'll be feeling like the coolest kid in school. prices start at around $60 and up.
up next: the Nike Air Jordan 1s. this iconic shoe from Michael Jordan stands
out with recognizable colorways, like the banned Chicagos, well designed toe
flexibility, great lockdown around the feet, and solid ankle support. the Air
Jordan 1s are versatile for a variety of different dance activities
like jumping, light and fast footwork, and gliding. pricing for these shoes depend
heavily on the colorways, starting as low as $65 to about over $2000. for example,
these blue off whites in Ysabelle Capitule's
Kelly Price video cost about $1,000. we see you Ysabelle.
get ready for some turtle power with the Adidas Superstars. Adidas most popular
shoe earns this spot due to its long history with dance culture. its original
production was in 1969, with the birth of hip-hop in 1973. making this shoe an
original dancer classic alongside the Puma Suedes. these shell toes take a
while to break in, making them an ideal training shoe for footwork, toe spins,
b-boying, and gliding. you can find these for as low as $15 or up to $80. shoes are
an integral part of dancer fashion and culture, but most importantly they affect
how we dance. even for the most experienced dancers, choosing the right
dance shoe is a must, especially if you're going to be wearing them more
than anything in your closet. now when you're looking for your next dance shoe
keep these three things in mind: feet come in all different shapes and
sizes, your feet are gonna swell so choose your sizing wisely, and take care
of your shoes to keep them performing the best every time. if you want some
more information, make sure you check out the description box on why and how to do
these three things. thank you for watching this video. did you think we
