WEARTESTING - AKROSS 7 Day wear testing

After 7 days of testing, a couple of medium run (average of 1¹½ hours ) different terrain such as aspal,  uneven gravel, dry earth and pebbles to test the comfort and performance, then wearing them for everyday casual and using the shoe more of a lifestyle.


Over all the shoe is amazing.
From performance point of view, even though it looks outdoor and looks a bit heavy, it is not ment for a performance shoes for track running, but its a good jogging shoe to have. The comfortability on the shoe is amazing. In my opinion, its a 8/10.The midsole is very soft and with ortholite insole bring that comfort levels up even more.
May be for a longer run factor, the midsole needs to be stiffend up, cause u need a bit of firmer structure. For everyday use and for trail walking, this shoe is amazing.

For looks, its fantastic. the color blocking, the design, it had that certain attraction that will capture customer to buy from the first look.
the materials are luxurious. The hearry sued on the toe box, the upper tight mash, the construction stiching. The concept of eco, using material that they have and re-used as part of their design. If a brand that can think like this, the outcome of the products will be amazing.
Regarding the vibram outsole, its as expected. The rubber sole material is sticky and helps traction, the track pattern looks a bit excessive, but will surely grip for every condition ,specially for extreme environment such as tracking.

Over all result, its a good shoe to have on your arsenal. You will kill it with the gorpcore look. for an everyday use, this is an amazing confortable shoe to have. I give a 8.5 or even 9. If u ask why its so high,not only the shoe aestheticly pleasing , the comfrotability and function, works!!. And to my surprise, the shoe is localy made in bandung,the shoe is so underated its cool and the guys behind this shoe have that certain mindset that elevate the brand (kind and creative).
I hope they come out with more silhouette and cool color blocking like this one with more function to the product.
If you have the opertunity to buy, test them out !!!

Special thank to

WEARTESTING : AKROSS RIVERBANK



 SITUATION :
Day 03 - night run / jogging. (1.00 hour)

Testing

1. Advance comfortability test

2. Find any flaws on the design

Result:

Just like yesterday, I did another further weartesting just to further test the shoe for me to give my opinion. I did a night jog for 1.00 hour and more running on an uneven track with gravel
the shoe feel great and the cushion is comfortable. The sole track helps alot for me to grip, there are some small pebbles stuck in them, but not to an extend for me to be worried. Any shoes that have gaps on their sole sometimes will have that "suvenir" (I call it, when after u run u see small pebbles stuck between the trends of the sole)

I have not found any problem to it while I run today, I think this shoes is good and have a bright future for an everyday shoe on your rotation. Over all well made shoes !
I think the 3M on the back help, cause I kind a realize people with motor cycle kind see me and they drive around me with ease, I don't have to keep looking back and give a sign to go over me. This has been my 3 days testing( the whole day wearing it). Instill have 4 more days weartesting

My report today

Thanks

WEARTEST : AKROSS


 SITUATION :

DAY 02 - WEARTEST JOGGING / RUN (1.30 HOUR)
7.623 STEPS

Test :

1. Comfort for running
2. Tracksion of the sole
4. If there is any flaws in the design

Finding
Day 1, I took it for a walk, today I took it up for a 1.30 hours run / jog. I found the shoe is very comfortable. It is a bit heavy, but I understand this is for track walking and not a running performance shoes that had to be light, but u can still use it for running short distance. The midsole and ortholite does give good energy return.
I did test run in a more flat ground, mostly asphalt around my neighborhood. There are a slight hill area, where I can test traction. The Vibram sole does help give traction when I go up hill and when I go down, I don't have problem (need to double test cause todays weather is dry and not wet).
I feel the design of the sole is good, the track pattern ,at the end of my walk, I become lazy and I can see If I don't bring my feet up the sole drag and catch the unneven pavement, which show if Ur outdoor, ithe sole can help in even terrain.

I don't know if it's a flaw, but the lacing system can be upgraded. With no holes, you have to coke it so the feet stay in place with in the shoe, the laceing design hold the actual lace ,for lifestyle used it ok, but if you use it for performance, it gives away Abit unless you really tighten them real tight

I will still weartest them till end of the week, if I found anomaly, I will report

Here are my thoughs

Thanks

Meneruskan Dokumentasi Urban Sneaker Society 2023, saya datang  lagi ke Day 03.
seperti kemarin, acara terlihat berjalan lancar dan banyak sekali orang pada datang mensupport acara tersebut. Saya di undang juga sama beberapa tenant untuk melihat activasi mereka. 
selagi saya berjalan, saya di kasih beberapa sepatu untuk di review. 
jujur, saya bukan v-logger terkenal yang sering unboxing. bisa terhitung lah beberapa kali saya melakukannya. tetai saya sangat honnor di kassih kesempatanyya.. dan saya akan lakukan sebisa saya untuk nge-share pendapat saya dan mengedukasi orang2 di sekitar saya dan yang sering masuk ke blog saya  mengenai produk- produk tersebut.
menurut saya yang dateng keacara  hari terakhir USS ini untuk mendapatkan deal-deal di hari terakhir dimana ada discount - bagus dari para tennant - biasanya tenatn di acara seperti ini mengasih discount harga menarik untuk menutup akhir acara.

saya datang di jam 1an , pas saya masuk sudah sangat ramai, dan sampai akhir saya di sana (09.00PM) masih terlihat ramai. congratulation kepada team USS, menurut saya kalian masih memegang bach mark buat communitas anak2 muda, bakat  kreasi lokal product dan culture sepatu2.

Continuing the Urban Sneaker Society 2023 Documentation, I come again to Day 03.

like yesterday, the event seemed to be running smoothly and lots of people came to support the event.

 I was also invited by several tenants to come and see their activation.

While I was walking, I was given some shoes to review by a few local brand.

Honestly, I'm not a famous v-logger who often unboxes shoes.if I did, I can count the number of times I've done it. so, I am very honored to be given the opportunity and I will do what I can to share my opinion and educate the people around me and who often come to my blog about these products.

In my opinion, those who come to the event on the last day of USS are to get deals on the last day where there are discounts - good from the tenants - usually the tenants at events like this give discounts at attractive prices to close the end of the event.

I came at 1am, when I entered it was very busy, and until the end of my time there (09.00PM) it still looked busy. Congratulations to the USS team, in my opinion you still hold the mark for the youth community, local product creation talent and shoe culture.

I'm very curious, what will JSD do next year to show their event skills, because usually two event organizers with sneakers and its culture  as the theme, they compete with each other in a healthy way to show their creativity and what they can offer to educate.

Iam-ran Attended the USS 2023 event on the second day to document the movement of youth and sneaker culture at the end of this year. USS is already known as one of those driving movements in the sneaker scene and brands for locally and internationally to the young generation and enthusiast. Lots of young people come for the retail experience, to see brands showing the latest fashion and sneakers they make or sell. Selling sneakers and trifting are also well-known repertoire to complete the event.
This year, it was held once again at the Jakarta Convention Center, just like last year and the year before. In this year's concept, USS looks more organized in creating  the event, where the flow and tenants are filterd and presented. The traffic flow is very good, the alleys are bigger between tenants so people can move around easily cause they move mass, the choices of tents and areas they provide are also very good in my opinion.
 I saw lots of people attending and supporting the event, many local brands also collaborated on designs between local and international to raise their standing in cultural circles.

It's not just selling that happend, there is a basketball competition, brak dance and rap concert held there, a skate event/competition held by the Vans , they even creating a semi skate park area in the alley way hall and it is very well designed and always pack with people .

Trifting, reselling shoes and local brand area also filled with cool display booth and enthusiasts/buyers that want to grab their product.

In the back area there is also a dining area with tenants of various young food brands providing snacks and thinks.over all view this year USS did very well, and raised the name of youth culture as a benchmark. I also saw that the guests who attended didn't just come to look around like last year during the pandemic and after the pandemic with nothing in their hand to go back with. This year the purchasing power of Indonesian people has returned + looks very strong
