00:01:08
Speaker

Sneaker Talk: Rebellionaire Ones and Bo Jacksons
00:01:14
Speaker
With little spa on the sweats. Not crazy. A million great sweat fans. For sure.
00:01:19
Speaker
I got the ah vintage Atlanta Braves tee on with the ah For the Culture Atlanta Braves shorts with the ah most recent version of the Cool Gray 11s.
00:01:32
Speaker
A tough shirt. be down with the With the gray and the things. I almost wore it. I have a Duke shirt that has a gray underlined thing, too. I'm glad I didn't wear it because it would have been.
00:01:43
Speaker
I have two Atlanta Brave tees that are kind of with the tomahawk and everything, but um the shirt's actually older than both of us. It's from 1993. Since 1993, I've been smoking weed. You probably paid a bag for that shirt. Huh? You paid a bag for that shirt.
00:02:05
Speaker
I can't remember. Maybe. There's no way you thrifted it, so. No, I didn't. I was going to say, no way. oh But I don't really get to wear it. It's got pinstripes on it, too. That's tough. I don't get to really wear it during the summertime because of how thick it is. But it's probably one of my favorite tees I have.
00:02:20
Speaker
You're just missing the fitted, bro. Where's the braised fitted? I just got a haircut, so. Okay. Show off the cut. Yeah. Respect. um topic Topic number one. Wait.
00:02:31
Speaker
Oh. Somebody told us last time that we should talk about the shoes up here. So, ah um we don't really – Have a rhyme or reason for picking these. These were on the floor today, so they got automatically elected for the table. I don't have the box in the room, so that's just what happened.
Kanye West and Adidas Split
00:02:48
Speaker
The warmest weekend.
00:02:49
Speaker
Those are the Rebellionaire ones. I'll just pick them up. you know They're supposed to pay homage to like the band, you know whatever. What does it say?
00:03:03
Speaker
can't remember what. I'll look it up. Yeah, I don't what they said. But this shoe was supposed to be like super limited and everything like that when it first came out. And then it was like they were kind of sitting for a little bit. but Yeah, somebody tried to flex on me with these like super early, but he's rich.
00:03:20
Speaker
So like, yeah why were you trying to flex on me? Right. um I would get this shoe if I didn't have just regular shadows. um But mean, it's a cool shoe, but i don't think I would.
00:03:33
Speaker
like i I like it, but... I think it could have been better. Every time I put this... This is my first time wearing it, but whenever the shoe's was in the box and I'm not looking at it, I think that it's patent leather. like the whole thing vax I was going to say the same thing. That would be a better version. like There's patent leather hints or whatever in the lettering, but if the whole thing was patent leather, like the patent brands or whatever, it would be real cool.
00:03:54
Speaker
For sure. and then yeah i picked the Bo Jackson because I mean already had a black and gray sneaker out here. and uh, with white laces in it. So this one came to mind, but, uh, there's none. Yeah. Just to match it up. Yeah. With the Bo Jackals. And then we got Eli's hats here in the middle. Yup.
00:04:13
Speaker
You know, purchase, right there at, they're added to the cart right now. Pending purchase. Yeah. I'm going to throw my man's a good deal. Yeah. So, um, Topic number one. I feel like here recently, for the past couple weeks, we've been starting out with this man and this controversy thing that's happening. but He's a ah powerful guy. But officially, official, no more Yeezys after Adidas sells out of everything that they have. And what I'll add to that. I'll say no more Adidas Yeezys because we have no idea what he's going to after. Right. But there will be no more Adidas Yeezys. And they...
00:04:49
Speaker
The CEO did state that they do not plan to use his model further or anything like that and they're going to go in a new direction without him.
Social Status Foams and Sneaker History
00:04:58
Speaker
They're going to part ways. so Buckle up your seatbelts and see where this is going to go, Adidas. I think this is weird because like how much stock do they have left?
00:05:07
Speaker
if If they didn't have that much left, why didn't they just keep it strictly Adidas? What's the point of even feeding it out to different retailers? you know you We'll see, but Yeah, and then however much he made them in the first drop that yeah first came about, like that $265 million or whatever it was, and it's like, okay, like, you were really going to think about burning this or getting just shipping it to a third world country or whatever the case may be? Like, I don't know, but once you said he's he's a powerful guy, so they're going to take none of his designs or anything, allegedly, so.
00:05:46
Speaker
He'd been, uh. has a full size run of both of the last two easy drops. I seen that on the, on the website. Yep. Um, which is different. Interesting. Yeah. They still get them in, they get them in stores. I'd be interested to see like that black one in hand, but it looks kind of weird to me. So we'll see one of my part-timers. Guess what he wore in the store today. What's that? Completely unrelated. Seven fits.
00:06:10
Speaker
Like the, uh, yeah. The ah original like strap. Yeah. All gray with the gum bottom. Just like, So casual with jeans on, black t-shirt, hat backwards, came in and worked his shift like it like nothing happened.
00:06:24
Speaker
Interesting. Yeah, crazy. He's a stinkerhead. that was just Yeah. We had a um ah guy come in to the store today. He was like, I got to buy my my female a birthday gift.
00:06:37
Speaker
Today's her birthday. I'm a hype beast, but she wants pandas. And he's like, and I really don't want to buy her pandas. He ended up buying pandas. yeah Yeah. But, so, um, the next topic that we're going to talk about is the social status, uh, foams that they just announced. I think today, actually. What do they call Dream a dream? Yeah. Dream, a world of dream or something like that. But, um,
00:07:07
Speaker
Just a cool little phone-posit concept, basically just paying homage to the D.C. and DMV area. um Social status in Baltimore is getting it, and then the Amon Maneer store in D.C. is getting it. but Is this a, like, is was there another colorway of this? Was there a black one? I think the one
Jake Paul's Fight Attire and Boxing Debate
00:07:27
Speaker
is the black like the black top area with the white on the side is the ones that were in the pictures today that I sent you that social status posted.
00:07:37
Speaker
um Not that the all white one that you're thinking about or we talked about before we started recording. that what you're referring to? I don't know. Like the pictures you sent, um theyre like it looks like marble.
00:07:52
Speaker
Yeah, that's the sent yes it's the same thing. But I thought there was one that came out... um Like a similar colorway, but black. Like all black? I'm going to verify right now.
00:08:05
Speaker
um But I thought I went and saw it like in the store. That's why. Let's see. Let's see. No, I guess I'm wrong. No, but
00:08:19
Speaker
nava anyway, I mean, these are clean. They give me like the CDG vibes. Yeah. day Okay. Okay. Okay. So. Yeah. The One Dream of World is a black pair. Okay. Which has like this almost like a galaxy yeah type. Yeah, black and white. Yeah. some But that's the ones that I'm talking about. They remind me of like kind of like the shooting stars or like like you said earlier, the pearls. Pearls with no but no check on it. even like a fighter jet almost kind of color. they're They're cool though. I definitely prefer this one over the black one. That's why I wanted to make sure that I knew that there was a black one because i would prefer to have this one.
00:08:56
Speaker
And basically, the thing that Social Status has posted today on their Instagram was basically like, I guess the guy who runs Social Status in Alma Meniere is a big fan of the phone posit and just of the DMV area. So it's like saluting to them and like just a shoe that's collaborative with that and the history of the actual shoe, which I thought was cool because we both love phone posit. Yeah, I would have. wish they would have done DC only on the black ones. The white ones are clean. i mean It might be worth me checking out Greensboro just in case. but For sure.
00:09:33
Speaker
We'll see. oh Now the the Jake Paul custom boxing shoes that he had this past week. that yeah yeah i mean They said that his whole fit, or it might have been just the shoes, but I think it said the whole fit was $100,000 including custom shoe surgeon made Travis boxing shoes.
00:09:53
Speaker
which is crazy for somebody that's not even, I mean, in my opinion, a real boxer, you know? like Right. For sure. But, You know. Social media
LeBron's School and Misconceptions
00:10:02
Speaker
box. when Yeah, when you got when you got money like that and you can just splurge.
00:10:07
Speaker
did Did Travis cut him a check for a sponsorship maybe? Or you think he just did on his own? I don't know. I mean, he's he he's definitely like smart about his branding and stuff. yeah um ah By the way, I heard Prime is going down the drain. I think there's something like something came out about Prime being bad or something. But i don't I don't pay any attention to him. But yeah.
00:10:30
Speaker
Yeah, he's pretty, like, brand savvy and stuff like that. So he probably reached out and was like, yo, like, I want to do this. ah Or they're probably friends. I mean, yeah to be honest with you. i mean And Lil Durk walked him out, like, doing a song and everything like that. So he's definitely tapped into, like, obviously other people and have, like, you know, friends at all places, I'm sure. but um Which is smart for the people, like Durk.
00:10:56
Speaker
had like his album title on his shirt. So he's doing promotion and marketing as well. So it's, it's, it all makes sense in the end. But, um, I think that he, he ended up winning the fight too.
00:11:10
Speaker
If the, I don't even know if the fight was like, yeah, don' I don't pay enough attention to Jake Paul to think, but I think so. But Logan Paul is in WWE.
00:11:21
Speaker
And I know that this past weekend on SummerSlam, Logan Paul had to have the vice first match on the card because he was wrestling, got on the jet, and then went to his brother's fight. but You could show me those two dudes like next to each other and I wouldn't be able to tell you who it was.
00:11:40
Speaker
I just don't. I mean, which is crazy because I look at the shoe stuff and they post them on the same account, but I'm just like, I'm so detached that I wouldn't even be able
Tearaway Skate Shoes: Practicality Debate
00:11:50
Speaker
to tell you. For sure. I mean, maybe if I saw him in the Travis fit, I'd know which one it would be. Yeah, yeah. For sure.
00:11:57
Speaker
Little side note, while we're on WWE SummerSlam, my man Seth Rollins wearing the yellow... the big boots. Yeah, the Croc mischief boots. Those are cool. um Like, on somewhere like that. Yeah, for sure. But for regular people, I just don't see yeah um how you could, like, style that.
00:12:19
Speaker
But he he caught a lot of publicity on, like, nice kicks and stuff like that because he wore the big red boot, like, in in the ring, like, on a Monday Night Raw something like that, and then um end up, like, kicking some eye in the face with it. So it was, like, a big sneaker moment, but ah Whenever ah they posted that and WWE posted it and it showed like the whole fit, I was like, okay, already know what he's doing here. but yeah Somebody like him, like he's his character is loud, like outgoing personality. like Even his in-ring uniform has always been off the wall. so it's like It just makes the most sense for, like we said, people like that.
Jordan 17s Pricing Discussion
00:12:56
Speaker
um this When I was looking at this ah video, It shows because i somebody asked me a question. He was like, or not me, like I know, like I'm inside of Mischief. But he asked, like, you know, like I want those croc boots, but I don't want people to be able to see my socks or my feet.
00:13:15
Speaker
And I was like, well, yeah, I don't know. But this video kind of shows that you can't see the person's feet. Yeah. I think it's got like the hose in it. And like we have the big red boot at the store. It's got like an actual like.
00:13:28
Speaker
insole so like your foot's not flopping around the big thing there's actually like something in there holding the inside of your foot it's a mold yeah so yeah but that makes sense though yeah um next the crenshaw skate club sps i literally just showed you these um it's like made to actually skate in like it tears away underneath and everything like that i think tearaways i'm about to give a controversial opinion go ahead I think the tearaway shoes should be the standard when it comes to skate shoes, just because if, if obviously if the shoe is made to be worn like that, it doesn't necessarily have to be a different color or something like that, but yes, let's make the shoe more durable. So like,
00:14:12
Speaker
when you do skate it away it's not just skated into a piece of poop right and i'm not the biggest skater ever so i don't have this experience with everything but i've definitely skated some shoes down to the point where you're no longer you've seen them last episode to where you're no longer able to wear them but at the same time i don't also don't want nike sb or whoever to like go overboard with making everything like oh it's this color on top and a this color on the bottom right kind of like i mean Like the Harito, same thing. Like, you can tear away that thing and it'd be it orange underneath. But, um yeah. I mean, it's a clean shoe. The blue's clean.
00:14:50
Speaker
um The little yellow accents is clean. um I think it would be a a good shoe. It's a clean SB. But, like you said, I think sometimes they – I feel like sometimes they oversaturate the tear away stuff or something like that. It's a slippery slope too. Like I'm going to have these social status, uh, Mac attacks. They're not going wear away until I'm like 40. Right. Um, because I've been wearing them as much as I possibly can to like try and get anywhere out of them. But I mean, unless I take the acetone. Yeah. was about to say, yeah.
00:15:21
Speaker
A lot of people, like when they do like the Target of LA's or like the the Lance Mountains or like whatever, it's like if some people want the character, they have to actually do acetone or like the harritos. You have to physically pick it away so you can see the orange underneath. Now, for custom purposes, I think it makes good designs. Like, you can, like, really create cool and unique things. But as far as the actual wear, it's, I mean, I don't know. We got to make it a little bit easier for me to get this this shit off. Yeah, you have to, like, almost damn near beat the shoe up, it seems like.
00:15:55
Speaker
the ah They came out with a report saying that the Jordan 17s were going to be $300 retail. Just for you, Spence Sanity. Just for you.
00:16:06
Speaker
um They haven't even said that it's going to come with a case or anything extra like it it did before. um I want to say that I'm not going to pay this $300, but I also don't want to be a liar. right So I'm not going to make any too soon claims. You're not going to use the flip-flop card right now? Yeah, I don't want to be... so you know But I do would think this is a bad move by Jordan Brand, but it's also a it's a test.
00:16:34
Speaker
if we're willing to pay $300 for these and they sell like, like they're probably going to then you guys should just go ahead and expect a lot of other things to have the prices raised. Because why would they not? Like if, if they're testing it right now and and we show them that we are willing to pay this $300 regardless, man, I mean, it's, it's over. Right.
00:16:55
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, yeah, they're gonna, I mean, you, I mean, we've slowly seen it obviously being in retail for while, you know, they, You know, Jordan 1's going from $160 to $170
Nike's Canceled Shoe Release and Charity Hopes
00:17:08
Speaker
to $180. You know, Retro's going from $190 to $200. Now we're at $210 for fours. And, I mean, even on some some stuff, $220, $230, like, it's crazy you know, it's like just, you know. And it's crazy that people are so, you know, people want to hit retail so bad because they'd rather pay $235,000
00:17:30
Speaker
than $445. four forty five so but yeah this But I also think you term on this will be a test. This will be a test. If you really want the $17, you should be able to get it because I think the $300 price point will run away resellers because if they can buy it for $300 and it's only going flip for $350, then that's like, I feel like for me that's just going be a harder sale.
00:17:55
Speaker
yeah If you want the $17s and you're willing to pay the price, you you should be able to get them. I really hope so because I would like them. It's better to start saving up now, guess. For sure.
00:18:06
Speaker
um Let me come back to that that Crenshaw. The blue on it is is really cool before it wears away. That like softer Carolina blue is just, I mean, it's a cool concept. Yeah. um When you first showed them to me, for some reason, I thought it was that SB that got canceled last last week. Oh, with the guy that passed away. Yeah, and I was like, it's weird that coming out with another one. But yeah that was just me getting confused.
00:18:29
Speaker
um How do you feel about them like cutting it?
00:18:35
Speaker
I mean, like we've talked about multiple times with Nike doing the right thing or like saying the right things at the right moment. I think that they'll end up probably coming out with them later on.
00:18:45
Speaker
But I think Nike and like his foundation will try to figure out a way to like let the sales go to his foundation or like to the kids at the school or or something like that. I feel like Nike is going to end up making the right business move.
00:18:59
Speaker
yeah um um I don't know all about it, but I feel like I've seen the shoe already. like like it It came out yeah before the shock drop or something? Yeah, it came... Yeah, it and they did – well, what they did was is the shoe was coming out through Nike and everything like that, but the guy that was partnered with the school, which the school was – the shoe was made after the school, all the kids that graduated high school this year, he gave them all free pairs.
00:19:29
Speaker
So obviously being a 17-, 18-year-old kid doesn't have any money, and you know a little bit about the shoe market, You don't care about shoes. You take it to these stores, sell it, make money. That's how they've been kind of floating around. think I saw one this weekend at the expo. Yeah. Well, there was, um, I vividly remember seeing an episode on YouTube where like they bought the shoe and it literally had the kids graduation, like, um, like envelope or itinerary or whatever it is, you know, like,
00:20:03
Speaker
the schedule of that graduation and had the kid's name and the size in his shoe, but they had to like tear it out and everything like that. So like he wouldn't catch him back last year. Cause it was on YouTube. So it was like, a flame they would have, people would have probably found him on social media and went in on him. But, um,
00:20:21
Speaker
Yeah, so... But that's... It's sad that that's how it ended up. But once again, when they got the shoot, obviously the the man was not passed away yet. So um now that he's passed away, that person, I would hope, feels some type of way. Kicking himself.
00:20:37
Speaker
Yeah. But um I think Nike will... Like I said, do the right thing. Do something to do proceeds or whatever to his foundation or the school or or something like that. I think they'll end up coming out, but it might be three months, six months, whatever. so and Speaking of like the school thing, I know this isn't a politics podcast, but you've seen the LeBron school?
00:21:03
Speaker
the promise Yeah, yeah, yeah. The kids are passing the math tests and and stuff. They said that... um No student in that school has passed a math test since 2020.
00:21:17
Speaker
And i my initial reaction was like, dang, thats that's crazy. But then I looked at it a little bit harder. I did some research on it. And like a lot of these kids are accepted. Like you have to be eligible to go to this school. Right. Yeah, for sure.
00:21:32
Speaker
And like they accept, they only accept like the lowest, like, you know? Right. Like, so yeah there was everybody was just flaming on Twitter. Like, oh, like we need to hire better teachers. got all this money, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's not the issue.
00:21:48
Speaker
Like they didn't take in, the person that posted the the original one just didn't like, it's a skewed point of view. They didn't take an account to like, like that the test scores are getting better or that like any of the things they just said, oh, nobody's passing math tests in three years. Right. which is Which, I mean, it may be true, but there's a lot more, like, when you get into it. And it's and it's a shame because it's, like, like you said, a lot of people don't want to do the deeper research and, like, see the root of the problem and everything like that.
00:22:17
Speaker
But, like you said, like, these kids, like, they have to be eligible to come to the school to because it's free. You know, their parents... probably have to make a certain amount of income. They have to fit in this certain type of tax bracket. Their test scores had to be a certain thing before they got into the school anyway. Yeah. So, and it's like these kids have, are probably, like you said, lowest of the low.
00:22:41
Speaker
They probably didn't get taught correctly back in the day. So now they're playing catch up on everything. Yeah. But so I didn't see that, but that's crazy. And like the crazy part about it is like there, LeBron James is trying to do something nice for people, you know, trying to do a good service for the community.
00:22:59
Speaker
And we're over here talking about, oh, well he should be doing this and he should
Travis Scott on Kanye West's Influence
00:23:03
Speaker
be doing that. Well, no, he's just like, yeah, his name is he's the vice principal on the thing. It's his school. Yeah. But we act like he's making the curriculum and he's not, know, like yeah he's paying people who are probably more than qualified to lead this school.
00:23:19
Speaker
And if they're not executing yet, at some point that's going fall on him. But like, you got to understand that this is not his job yeah and his full-time job is playing basketball, yeah you know, and he's already doing more than he has to be asked to be doing. And I have to commend him for that anyway. Like, you know, let's just keep that in mind when we're talking about somebody this is not his full-time job and,
00:23:41
Speaker
it's a choice. He didn't have to start the school. He could have kept all the money by himself. He's trying and that's the biggest part. Yeah, for sure.
00:23:53
Speaker
Your boy. Back at it again. This this one's very recent. Travis Scott out yay at the show in Rome. And I quote, travis scott brought out yay at the show in rome that and and i quote There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis without Kanye West. And there is no Rome, Italy without Kanye West. Give it up for Ye.
00:24:38
Speaker
There no Philadelphia without Kanye West. There is no Javis Scott without Kanye West. There is no world without Kanye West. Make some noise for
00:25:01
Speaker
Hey, man. Can't tell me nothing. Right. I mean, but he is... It just shows you, like, how big of an influence Ye really is with Travis, Big Sean, like, you know, just... I mean, he's the...
00:25:19
Speaker
He's a goat. Like he's an influencer fashion wise, music wise, just breaks barriers. Doesn't care what people think about him. yeah Speaking of fashion, like he was wearing some crazy stuff at this show, man. He was he had like what looked like a turban. um Like, you know, his black thing that he'd always does. yeah yeah And then Travis was going crazy, by the way, with the shoulder pads as well. Yeah. and Just stomping and just being a rager like he is. But yeah, I mean.
00:25:47
Speaker
ya Yay is a guy. I mean, there's nothing to it. Did you ever watch the the trilogy that they did on i Netflix? watched some that. I didn't watch all of it. I like it. I'm always sleeping. I haven't seen the Jake-Old thing with Kevin Hart. I hadn't either. I hadn't watched it yet. I thought about watching it today on my lunch break, but, you know.
00:26:02
Speaker
um Yeah. But the trilogy thing, like, showing him how he started and then ended up, like, like he's really, back in the day, like, shot-calling everything that he's doing now, and it's, like, crazy to see.
00:26:17
Speaker
see it now that like back in the day, like when people were calling him crazy of like saying, this is what he was going to do. It's like to see that actually come about. it' like, yeah, he's, he's him. Like ah he's him. So,
Travis Scott's New Sneaker Variant
00:26:31
Speaker
um, I'm Mr. Oh, Kanye.
00:26:33
Speaker
I missed the old Kanye. Um, so, but in the, in the, like at in Rome, Travis was wearing like a new variant of his sneaker that he right he showed it in like a workout video that he was doing the other day. But it looks like a mid and it's black. It's like a reverse colorway. So it looks like we're going to get a mid and a low, maybe even a high top. How are you feeling about the mids?
00:26:57
Speaker
same same what Same way I feel about the low. that I'm not a big fan of the strap. um this just Just give me the golf shoe. That's all I need. Yeah, the golf shoe is 170. You can keep that. Just give me the golf shoe. All the other lows, keep them.
00:27:14
Speaker
Just let me get my golf shoe and let me just stay in my lane. and keep flowing i need to see some official pics of like the the mid but i'm a fan of like trainer style shoes so you know i might want to pick this one up which is right b price point makes sense with the the bow jacksons right here yeah and then the um what was the it was another bow jackson too that you showed the the dracula ones when we were doing the halloween yeah so yeah but that has the strap going across as well so makes sense um
00:27:46
Speaker
I know we don't have it written down, but the official, I seen a video of official DMP 11. Not DMPs, that they're changing the name. So going to go and call this before anybody else says it. These are the reverse Jubilees. And I said that in the then like two or three episodes ago because like the piece is different, like the piece is different, just like the Jubilees. And it's just white instead of black.
00:28:08
Speaker
I don't know if they're going to end calling them that, but just just mark my words. White Jubilee, Reverse Jubilee, something like that. you know it's kind It's coming. but i They look clean. yeah They're cool. I'll take them. ah I'm not going to go that far, right but they're okay. I may get a pair to hoop in.
00:28:26
Speaker
right I've talked about how and you both have wore cool greys. This is probably like my seventh, eighth, ninth time wearing these.
00:28:38
Speaker
You bought two pairs, one to hoop and one to wear casually, but neither one of us have touched Brett 11 yet. And that shoe's been out since 2018, 2019. Yeah, it's not going to work. So, I know. Me and 11's got a funny relationship because, i mean, I don't know. Maybe it's just because, like, I like all gray shoes, so this one just just gets worn more. but That Brett 11 might go with me to the grave. Yeah, very true.
00:29:03
Speaker
I don't know what to tell you, bro. That Brett 11 might may not. be Very true. Yeah. I don't have that many 11s either, but it's just, they don't come out that often. They really don't. And then when they do, it's holiday time and it's just like, but it is one a year though. Like, yeah and if I skip one, like I skip the cherries, I'm out a whole, got wait another year.
00:29:22
Speaker
Right. So we'll see. We'll see. let's We'll see how you feel. Maybe this one's trash and I pick up the Neapolitan. Yeah. We'll see.
Sneaker Expo Reflections
00:29:33
Speaker
True. oh from you okay so um this weekend i attended pretty solo no e eli this time uh unfortunately you know uh the social sneaks expo again um this is and this is no like all of this is based on the event not the people who put on the event i like social sneaks i like the people that run it it wasn't that great um I mean, and it's my fault for going to the same thing.
00:30:00
Speaker
You know, like, it's it's just like I said, like before, like, it's just a bunch of resellers buying from resellers. I don't see any customers ever leave with some shoes, you know, like maybe five or six people. But like, out of the hundreds of people I saw the whole day, like, you know, like, it just doesn't make any sense to me. And then these dudes that just Now, granted, I sat down a lot of this event, too, but that's because it just wasn't that as many people as last time. Like, the reseller dudes were really, like... Right, just on, yeah. Just in their zone, just... And people are coming up to them asking, like, about their stuff. Right. And this time, I will admit, I had... a
00:30:38
Speaker
a sneaker on my table because apparently dunks I can't fit that I was selling. And I got more asked about the dunks than I did about anything on my table. Right. And maybe I'm just, I'm selling, I'm selling knives at a gun show or something. But like, you know, I thought that people would just, you know. Right. For sure.
00:30:56
Speaker
And well, we had sent, i you had sent something and I had sent some as well, like the sneaker exit, yeah which, either yeah, which has a crazy amount more followers than both events that we've probably been to so far.
00:31:08
Speaker
um And then that ah Cola Kicks one too has a crazy amount of followers as well. So we'll have to talk about that and get a table there. And like you said, me's just like you said it might be because we're selling knives at a gun show and we're selling apparel at a shoe convention. But, you know, it is what it is. Oh, new mascot to the Soul Sandy Sneaker Podcast.
00:31:32
Speaker
What did it do? Black cat for you black cats. Shaking my head. um Yeah, I'll try to be at the sneaker exit. It's in September. um I'll probably go ahead grab a table if it's not gone soon.
00:31:47
Speaker
But... Jeez. Yeah, well...
00:31:58
Speaker
Anyway, at the sneaker exit, uh, I should have my shorts in by then, which, uh, for those who don't know, are for the, the burgundy fives that got pushed back to August 29th instead of the, the ninth, 17th or something like that. Like that. Yeah. i keep pushing them back. Uh,
00:32:19
Speaker
I'll take it because I get more time to get my money up. Right. But at the same time. people keep forgetting about them. Yeah. For all the people that plan to get these, ah your shorts will be here before your shoes. Now, 100%. Let's go. Now that they pushed them back. Let's go. Your shorts will be here before shoes. Let's go.
00:32:35
Speaker
Before the shoes come out. Which is a new thing for me. I don't usually get it out before. And I don't even really like fives like that. Yeah. But something about the Burgundy 5s and like seeing people wearing i'm back in the day and it's just an older shoe.
00:32:49
Speaker
um I need these. s I don't have a lot Burgundy in my um and my c closet or anything like that. So I think this is a good shoe that comfort-wise and just silhouette-wise that I don't have.
00:33:04
Speaker
So just breaking out my little i little comfort zone, man. That's all I'm trying to do. This is going to be a good one. I got pants lined up for this. I got shorts lined up for this. I've been waiting for this one all year. Pat said this is one of the only Jordans to get by for the rest of the year. OG. OG approval.
00:33:23
Speaker
That says a lot because playoff eights are coming out. He said he'd probably still get those with the Cherry 12s and the DMPs. I'll take playoff 12s. Playoff 8s. Sorry. Cherry 12s. Cherry 12s. My fault. um Playoff 8s I'll definitely take just because I've never had a pair of 8s. Yep. So I'll take the original one and I'll chill on that.
00:33:43
Speaker
Cherry 12s, I know I said I want them and
Closing Remarks and Merchandise Tease
00:33:47
Speaker
I'll take them. But um' we'll just see where we're at oh no at that time. Okay. 12s aren't really my favorite, but cherries are classic. um We haven't had cherries in a long time either. Yeah. I might think on that, breathe on a little bit.
00:33:59
Speaker
They don't give us OG 12s very often. I think I've got to pull the trigger on this one. I got the playoffs last year, so I'll definitely have to pull the trigger on this one. That, and then, ah I mean, if they ever bring flu, and whenever they bring flu games back, out I'll double on that. I need the flu games. Literally. Literally, flu game right now.
