The owner of Rockdeep is an amazing, caregiving and interactive person. He hosted a free giveaway of 50 pairs of shoes to help enhance his brand and reach out to more people. With that being said, I was one of the selected individuals. His only wish was that we write a review of the product in return.
As I mentioned, the owner is phenomenal. He will connect with you, talk with you and treat you like family. He goes out of his way to ensure his customers satisfactory. His team is great as well. They go above and beyond to represent the brand.
Getting into the actually shoe/receiving the package. Before I get into this, I do want to state; I am EXTREMELY grateful for this opportunity, but I do want to be honest. First off, I was disappointed the shoes did not come in a box. Being a sneaker collector, I do value the boxes to my shoe just as well as the shoe itself. I also do not like my shoes shipped in a bag, which these were. I am not sure if all his products get shipped this way or if it was just because it was free pairs and it reduced the cost for his company. However, the package did come excellently wrapped. It was tripled-bagged; two bags to protect the product and a third custom "Rockdeep" bag that carried the shoes. Upon, opening the shoes there was an extremely strong smell, similar to nail polish. While this doesn't bother me, I know some people have different reactions to smells that can set them off. The best touch was the personalized card, welcoming me to the family, which also boasted my first name on the greeting.
The shoe itself... The shoe I received was a dark gray / gold color way of his "Daylyt" model. The upper material is like a sock, that stretches with wear. It slips right on for easy on-the-go action. The heel is supported by an air bubble to help enhance the comfort. The design is a futurist look of what I would compare the Balenciaga sock runner. Like my girlfriend (who is not into shoes) stated; "it looks like iron mans boot." While I am a fan of the design and the comfort is great, I do not think this is something I would personally wear on the daily. For me this would be more like gym shoe. I have seen some pairs in other color ways that I am a little more found of.
As the company grows, I will definitely be following their success. I truly think Rockdeep will soar through the sky. As the owner states, "we have a little something for everybody!" Which I do in fact deem to be true for the most part. Again, I want to thank you for this opportunity! read more
