Juho Marjo Busts Out In Shoe Commercial

Juho Marjo of Finland recently starred in a shoe commercial for the website www.feelmax.com. I don’t know the details of how much air time this commercial actually received, but it’s well worth checking out. He busts out some pretty serious footbag tricks, especailly considering these shoes really aren’t designed for shredding at all. I really like the concept of the shoe: It seems that it’s designed to fit more like a sock than a shoe - It “simulates barefoot feeling”. Years ago, I had actually pondered making a pair of footbag shoes with this sort of concept in mind, only it would have to have some built up areas on the sweet spots (toe, inside, outside and heel). You can check out the video here:

Again, I don’t know much about the details of how much play this commercial has actually received, but these shoes are only available in Europe (where they are much more open to foot sports in general than here in the US), so don’t expect to see this in the US anytime soon. I do know that due to the challenging surfaces, Juho twisted his ankle a few times - We don’t recommend trying to shred on uneven surfaces! The video only gives you hints and pieces of a number of different tricks, showing only the simple toe stall and the Jani Walker in their entirety. In case you are wondering, the moves are as follows: Blizzard, Double Around the World, (ending of a) Drifter, Ducking (cut short), Spinning (?) Swirl (2 shots), Ripwalk, Jani Walker (complete move shown, this is a triple dexterity!), Ducking Clipper, Barfly (2 views), Double Around the World (two views), Toe Stall, Ripstien, Blizzard.

If you enjoyed the video style and would like to see more Juho, we highly recommend “Bringing Out The Shred (BOTS)” which stars Juho and is filmed and produced by the same person that co-edited and co-directed this commercial, Jere Vainikka. BOTS is now available in our shop and currently on SALE - it’s an incredible value.
