Speaker
What's good everyone? Welcome back to my first kicks. Yo, it's another legendary episode. You know, last week I had Welty on. So this week I had to bring back former guest, Fresco. What up though? be care This is AI. This is AI. This is that that's totally AI. I don't know where I am right now, but like, yeah, my, eye my hologram is up here. Yo, man, it's been a minute. we I mean, I had you on, what is it, two years ago? I think so. pi was it No, we did a live. we we did We did a Zoom. A Zoom, excuse me. Yeah. yeah And ah you know you showed off some heat. air You told some crazy stories. I mean, I still laugh about the story about the dude with the fake bill. And you were like, yo. And I had to run down on it.
00:00:59
Speaker
Yo, we live in a weird time. But yeah, like you know if you try to get me fake money, I'm running down on you. There's no debate, I'm from Brooklyn. And since then, we hung out and you made me, wait I ended up wife having to wipe my phone because you you gave me way too many shots. Yo, I tell you, man, if you see me outside or my hologram,
00:01:23
Speaker
um I do kinda like to provide my people with a good time. So I've been blessed in certain spaces to you know have access to certain things, so my man needed some shots. So we took some shots. Maybe we went a little bit overboard.
00:01:40
Speaker
But, bro, it was crazy. And then, ah but since then, you know, you now you're free agent, right? you Free agent agency, no longer with the brand that people ah used to know me to be with. um And only thing I can say to that is,
00:01:57
Speaker
I wish them what they deserve. That's not, you know, that's not gay or nay, not bad, but you know, I wish them what they deserve. um Yeah, I had some good times there, you could. Met some amazing people, did some great things. And... Now I'm doing my own thing. Exactly. You started that channel. I mean, I joined that channel. sneakers don't sneak I don't pay for sneakers. Sneakers pay me. that's You use close i was close. I don't work for sneakers. Sneakers work for me. There we go. I love that. because um it's the other That's the other channel. Yo, to be honest.
00:02:36
Speaker
For a long time, I didn't pay for sneakers. But you know, I was just having this conversation yesterday. When you have certain people in positions in certain spaces, when those people leave, the relationships are never the same with the newer person in that position. right So shout out to my good folks over at My Good Folks at certain brands that, you know, shout out to the brands. But unless y'all paying me, I really don't care to say your names. But it's all love. It's it's certainly all love. but um
00:03:06
Speaker
Seed product to the right people. Yo, I was I mean look you perfectly you brought this up at like the perfect time I think that I wanted to bring this up on this new podcast. I'm starting well with my boy ah Mikey from the camp out and But seeding is has been a topic as of late, you know it's interesting to me that People are getting sneakers and still are upset that they're getting sneakers. And then you have other people who are like have nothing to do with the other cross sections of getting sneakers and they're getting sneakers. Right. And then you have people that just make content to only get sneakers.
00:03:46
Speaker
And the thing for me is getting the sneakers is cool. It's it's cool. It's great. It's all that. But pay me because, you know, my presence is currency, especially in the world of shoes. So it's good to get um none of the product is free right because it costs you your time. You have to create content. You have to post. You have to try to engage people outside of the brand to the brand. So all that stuff costs. So with that being said, free shoes, not free shoes, but seated shoes are great. Love them. I don't love all of them because you know sometimes they see you some shit that you don't want. Excuse me for saying shit.
00:04:30
Speaker
um Yeah, like ah it's ah it's a weird space now of you know what is what is cool, what is um going to bring eyes on certain brands. So now it's kind of just like, oh, it's a shit show, to be honest. Yeah, for real. It's a shit show. but But I definitely want to know learn about the first time you received the sneakers and what it felt like.
00:04:54
Speaker
The first time i would see these sneakers because i mean when you first started doing you know youtube videos even before that before that first time I was seated sneakers i was working with I was working for Nike for a summer during a the World Basketball Festival, the first World Basketball Festival, that was 2010. And it was overseen by a company called 94 by 50, which later turned, not turned into, but one of the associates of 94 by 50 started ah game seven. So shout out to game seven. But I got called down to the office one day and they had like a booklet of yo destroyers
00:05:39
Speaker
Amax 1s, 97s, 95s, like, and I'm just like, all right, so what do you want? And I'm like, yo, word. Like, yeah, like, what do you want? Like, you know, like we have this product, you've done whatever you've done, because I was kicking ass at some, I'm not gonna lie. When you first get to When you first start working with Nike, yo, that Kool-Aid, that Kool-Aid tastes so good. That Kool-Aid tastes so good. Until it doesn't. Nah, but it's what you make out of it. So um I think the first shoe I ever got seated, it didn't even fit me. It was a gold Air Max 97.
00:06:19
Speaker
gold Air Max 97s, and they were a size 12, and I didn't think of at the time that I needed to go a size up, if that was always a true 12. Not with those. The foot got wider. Yeah, that just was not working for me. So, Air Max 97 lovers, if you have a wide foot, go up a half a size for a full size. Like, it's totally fine, but that was the first shoe. That's a classic shoe. I've i don't i've never owned any 97s. I feel that.
00:06:49
Speaker
the I do like 90 sevens. I do like obscure 90 sevens or like I do like the, you know, silver bullets. Yeah, gold. But I also like the ah Ricardo Tishi. Yeah, that's like a high top. It's a very obscure shoe. I like the undefeated. Oh, undefeated.
00:07:08
Speaker
That green and orange colorway, man, yo. Undefeated is a fire. I like all of them. I like green, orange. I like white, red, and green, black, red, and green. Yeah, I like all of them. I need a cold wall to make one with like the aged. Aged as well, it'd go crazy, yo. I like the AMX+. I have the white and the black. Didn't get the blue. Samuel Ross, I did a video about you, man. I'm very compelled by your work. Just so you know, I am a fan.
00:07:35
Speaker
I'm a fan as well. i The black, learning that the black, the aging process when it was posted after the shoe was sold out everywhere did make me very salty that I didn't buy them. Pantina. I mean, it was called Pantina. Yeah. The black turning into blue.
00:07:50
Speaker
and white turning into whatever it turns into. yeah I really don't know. I was curious with the what the, um yeah, what was the white? I think it is, it's like so it's like a, I think it white turns into like off white. I haven't worn mine enough and I definitely got two whites because I really have a affection for white shoes. I'm not a white on white Air Force One guy. If you see me with white on white Air Force One, chances are if they're regular, it's like for a photo shoot.
00:08:18
Speaker
but nine times out of 10, there's something that's different about them. So I have like the acronym white on white. I have Don C. White on white. I have ah ah have the, unfortunately as I say this now, I have the OVO, the Drake White on white, which is a great Air Force One. Like the leather on that is good, yeah but you know, people take L's.
00:08:37
Speaker
How many wears on a white on white for you? it depends on It depends on which one it is. So if you have like a sheet white on white, sheet high white on white, yeah those are great in rain, snow, because they're packed in leather. yeah So there's a little bit more life in those. um But I'm talking about just a regular white on white. Just white on white. two Two? You were two? Two, a stretch, three, pause.
00:09:01
Speaker
Like, yeah, stretch three. So then they're beaters at three, is what you say. For sure, at three. Because you'll never get that same air. Again, that air is now dirty.
00:09:17
Speaker
You know, and when it comes to white on white, certain white shoes like these, like they've been worn a bit, but you know, you can clean them up in there, whatever. But y'all ain't got these, so. These are not the every games. They're not. They're not the every games. Those are definitely the bike airs. Shout out Nigel. Shout out Nigel. Shout out Nigel. I love my bro. Yo. Yeah, I mean, I met him at SneakerCon this year. Oh, this year I did not go to SneakerCon. That was, I really didn't want to go, though, because That's a part of where I got my first, ah like my feet wet in regards to selling shoes. 2017? Nah. sneaker con We were going to, we were doing SneakerCon, I want to say maybe like 2011.
00:10:00
Speaker
Wasn't that during the Dunk Exchange era? Dunk Exchange was a little bit before that. OK. Because I used to go to Dunk Exchange, and then I went to Sneaker Pimps. Definitely Sneaker Pimps. Sneaker Pimps had the performances. Sneaker Pimps had Pusha T one year, had Ghostface one year. That Ghostface one was crazy, bro. Yeah. Sneaker Pimps used to put on, but there was no no one was buying sneakers. No one even really went there for sneakers. You had on your sneakers already, and then you went for like the vibe and the performances.
00:10:27
Speaker
but yeah, Sneaky Pimps, Dunk Exchange. Dunk Exchange, we used to shout out to Sammy the Jew. Shout out to Sammy the Jew. Sammy's legend when it comes to sneakers. But one time before Sneaky Con, no before,
00:10:45
Speaker
Dunk Exchange. We went to his crib. He lived in LES at the time. And he had all this Supreme stuff that he just didn't want. So like, at the end of the night, we still had a decent amount of it left. And he pulled up on us and we just threw it into the crowd. Five panels, teas, mad teas.
00:11:08
Speaker
Not really. This is circle. What? Like this might have been 2009. OK. Yeah. 2009, maybe. That's not K-MOS, right? No, that's pre-K-MOS. OK, OK. That's pre. I wouldn't throw that one out. You know, like it was just like the basics that we had, but even still it was just unheard of at the time. But you always have to have something. Whenever you're doing one of those trade shows as a seller, you always have to have something that separates you as a seller. Yes. So if you have the opportunity to give away something or we used to even do buy one, get one free and not get one free was varsity red sixes.
00:11:47
Speaker
facts because it used to be $100 as a locker. Yeah, crazy. So yeah, like there's um there's certain ways. You have to have something that entices your consumer. that's I don't think they have that at all now. So I went i went to SneakerCon, and i and like I understand it's going to be a sea of resellers trying to get off. This just does not move in. A sea of resellers trying to get off is crazy. Yeah, pause. Pause. You my man, though.
00:12:14
Speaker
I wasn't thinking about that. And so I'm walking through, and I pick up a pair of Band-Aids. I love the Band-Aids SBs. There was one time I copped the pair online off of nsb dot.org. Bro sent it to me in a USPS box.
00:12:32
Speaker
I forever hate this. I pulled pulled out pull it out of the box, smelled exactly like a Marlboro which is lit up in the room, bro. So I messaged homeboy back and I'm like, yo, these smell like cigarettes, bro. Cigarettes. So I've always wanted that shoe back because I sold immediately, I Febreze them and put them on eBay immediately. So I got an actual question. Is that the the... the one shoe that you wish you could get back? If it's not, what's the one shoe that you sold that you wish you could get back? Actually, that is not the one shoe I wish I could get back. The one shoe I wish I could get back is the Syracuse be true to this to your school. ah I remember having to pay a fucking next tell bill and being like, and being like, I gotta let go of this shoe. And I remember i copped I copped it at Dunk Exchange for like $75, right? And then I go, I'm like, damn, I'm really gonna about to lose my service. And it's about to be a wrap for me. put I had to put them on eBay and I sold it to this dude who was a and NYU teacher. He was a professor at and NYU.
00:13:42
Speaker
and he copped it off of me for like 150. And then now when I look at the prices, yeah impossible to find now, impossible to find. Anything from that pink box, be true to true to your school, like era is gone. like I'm so mad I'm not able to like get any of it. I've only got one left and I gave it to my nephew and then like he didn't really want them, so um the UNLV.
00:14:08
Speaker
Oh, I love those, y'all. I have two pairs. I got the Kentuckys and the Iowas. swayed s Suede? Suede. Okay. Suedes are the the originals. Suedes are the originals. And who doesn't love a pink box?
00:14:22
Speaker
um I'm normally a Saratoga guy. but and Not so good, Saratoga is a limited edition, we have it everywhere. Mountain Valley is is nice. Mountain Valley, if y'all wanna do some work. But you know, I am a blue bottle. Glass bottle water, people, treat yourself better. I'm not judging, ah you know, such essential school. I drink it just because. So good, we gonna get together yeah we're gonna get we're gonna get everybody right. Glass bottle water is the way to go.
00:14:53
Speaker
You know what I mean? I gotta make sure the guest is good, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? And I thank you. I thank you. This is good. Mountain Valley is good. I'm like, Mountain Valley. This is not an ad. But so I pulled up on one of the reseller tables. I saw the band-aids on the table at Sneaker Con. But shout out to Sneaker Con, because my boy Overtime Zion hooked me up with a ticket. Shout out to Sneaker Con. Shout out to, excuse me, Barris. And oh my goodness, what's my man's name? He's gonna fight me.
00:15:22
Speaker
Yo, it's two brothers, Barris, and... Yo, I'm tripping. This is my guys, nah. Hold on, I gotta look this up. Gotta look this up, cause I would feel, I would feel, that's my man. Like, he's shown us love with tables. He's, yeah man, hold on, let me get myself to go.
00:15:44
Speaker
I'll continue the story though. Allen and Barris, they are the brothers that started SneakerCon. Shout out to you Ming too, cause you know, he was part shot of it. Yeah shout out to you Ming. But Allen, Barris, I can't call y'all names cause you, but y'all are men. Anyway, continue. um And bro, I pulled up to the table, I grabbed the Band-Aids and I have them in my hand, I'm like, damn, these is kinda clean, they're not, they're RDS, but you could tell that like they've been outside the box for too long, right? And so I put, and and I go to go homeboy and I'm like, yo, how much? And he's like, 2,500. For a pair of Band-Aids, a pair of Band-Aids, bro. Like, that's insane. That is not a $2,500 shoot. That's like 400. That's like, But you know what, sneaker con certain people, they're swinging for the fences. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, you could swing for that fence, but.
00:16:36
Speaker
after 2,500 is crazy. It is crazy. But I did get to meet some cool people, you know, linked up with J Tips, of course, and fa Swerve. So what up to Swerve? Strickland. Mosh was there. I don't know Swerve. I don't know Strickland. No, the same person. Swerve Strickland. Shout out to Swerve, Strickland. You got two first nicknames.
00:17:00
Speaker
ah but he released a shoe with Mosh and so. Okay, Mosh is the customizer. Yes. I'm keeping a handle with you, like a lot of the sneaker, like I know ah know a lot of the people in this space, but I don't know a lot of people in this space. No, yeah, I mean.
00:17:16
Speaker
the Because, look, I mean, you say it's AI, but the community events stuff, you know, like it's cool. What have you, because you've been to a ah couple, I mean, AI has been to a couple. Polygram. But, you know, recently you were talking with Rob, shout out Robby, and we were talking about getting that invite. I'm never going on live with Robby again. After that day, yo, like Instagram flagged my life. I'm like, yo, I don't got no titties on here. I know there's nothing crazy. What's going on? But Robbie, Robbie's my guy. Robbie's my guy. um But you talked about on there, which I found was really interesting, is the if you didn't get the invite, don't ask me for a while. like If yo, cause... And... um
00:18:05
Speaker
I reserve the right to be selective, or anybody reserves the right to be selective. So if um if you didn't get the invite, no, if you, in certain instances, yeah my memory is short, yeah yeah so it's not even purposely. no yeah so But a lot of people receive the non-invite as a personal thing. And it's never personal. It's never personal. It's just like a lapse in thought. yeah All that. But um at the same time, there are some people who did not get invited. And you kind of know why you didn't get invited. yeah You have a ah general idea.
00:18:43
Speaker
Like there was a person that didn't get invited because they had an instance at the place that wasn't friendly and the staff was not very ah receptive to said person. So I said, maybe I shouldn't invite this person to this because, you know, whatever.
00:19:00
Speaker
But you can always reserve the right to be selective. It's the same way in the world of shoes. It's like um building your connections. right And even if you built the highest level of connection, that person that's in charge of the passing along of the shoe, they could say no. yeah And you may not be able to go. And you can't let that like defeat you. Some people make that nice companies.
00:19:22
Speaker
with the apps have made people feel like it's a gift for me to buy their shoes. Yeah, I don't know. Like a raffle normally for me is something that you win and you receive a prize. My prize is to pay.
00:19:39
Speaker
I could never wrap my mind around it. I complained about it for so so long that I understood it once I went to Vegas. like I was like, the first time I went to Vegas and then I was just like, all right, cool. Yeah, this is a slot machine. like Sneakers app is a slot machine. right is you know where or And even anything where we're just like,
00:20:02
Speaker
Like, oh, we get the chance to spend money, right? We're spending, when you go to Vegas, you just putting in money for the chance to win money. Oh, you gotta, boom. Nah, you look right there in the middle. Yeah, there you go. There you go. Yeah, I'm like, I just peeped out. I mean, I'm pretty sure they couldn't even see it, but hopefully. Yeah, my bad. Hopefully, hopefully it ain't seen.
00:20:23
Speaker
But I was just saying that the whole thing where it's a slot machine, they want you to just be like, all right, I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to keep trying. But then to be like, that's the free aspect. That's the free aspect. And then it's like, now I get to spend my money, which is crazy. Yeah, but you know what?
00:20:42
Speaker
Also, that's a fire shirt. Thank you. This is Big Queens, Mommy and Ty. Pro-Free is the name of the brand. The Crate, also from Queens. Nine Sylvesters from Queens. This is a Yeezy Gap. I didn't even know he dropped the... It came and went. I like all my fits to tell a story. So today's story is just Black Excellence from New York to Chicago. I love it.
00:21:09
Speaker
But, yo, I see you got the Mets get up on. You already know. So you must be pretty excited. I am, and I am from Queens. Okay, yo, it's too many people from Queens. But Queens is so big that there's two airports there. Yes. You can't fly into New York City and not go to Queens. Exactly. Facts. You gotta check in. Nah, you don't gotta check in Queens. Like, shout out to my Queens hood. I don't know why I checked in Queens. Like, shout out to Queens, though. Shout out to our Queens. Look, Queens is... What part of Queens are you from? I'm from...
00:21:40
Speaker
ah Corona, I'm going to say Corona. I'm not going to say my actual, I say, I don't want people doxing me, you know what I mean? So I grew up in Corona. You know, people's is crazy out here. um but yeah He's one of those people that be on Instagram like ah my stalker show my page has' not that's not me Shout out to all my peoples from Queens shout out to everybody that listening to this right now words shouts to Everybody from Queens man shots of the women from Queens Mm-hmm because like I've always thought that the women from Queens came from something like they had families Like they may have less PTSD
00:22:21
Speaker
You know, shout out to me. Unless you're from left rack, all right? Like, if you're from left rack or Queensbridge, it's not. Yo, you know what? We're going to leave his judgment out of it. What do you mean? Because left rack and Queensbridge are two amazing places. But not in the 90s and 2000s. That's what I'm talking about. Like, it was intense out there. It was. Shout out to Nas. Shout out to Nori. The Beat Nuts. Because that's where, you know. Yes. Pause. Because that name is just crazy. But y'all a great group.
00:22:55
Speaker
But yeah, I just ain't saying that name. But i actually, yeah when I was a kid, I was I was fucking with them. They were good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you talked about so building community, right? And that's why I definitely wanted to touch it on with you, like the way this community has been growing, especially as this year with J-Tiffs, dropping his shoe and bringing the people outside and everybody's like going to a lot of things. What do you What do you see and what do you have hope for? um i have I have hope, not even I have hope, but I'd like to see ah just people just continuously being themselves. It's no problem to be inspired by.
00:23:39
Speaker
Like I'm inspired by J Tips. I'm inspired by Nigel Sylvester. I'm inspired by my man Ty who creates Propri. I'm inspired by these people. But at the same time, I still take that inspiration and put it into my individuality. You should take inspiration from something and like you can spin it in your own way. But you know, I just, ah it's dreadful to me. Push your T voice.
00:24:02
Speaker
like that when I see um people that just want to be exactly like someone else. yeah Take inspiration from that person. You could be you know compelled by that person in a way that like touches your soul, which is awesome. But um you know take that and continuously you know be yourself. Okay, stop. Anyway, ah and as far as- Do you think originality is coming back a lot more?
00:24:29
Speaker
No, I don't. That's why I'm saying it. I don't think it's coming back. I think it's something that people are, nah, they're not even trying. They're not even trying. Give me all that much credit. Call me a Debbie Downer. I don't care.
00:24:46
Speaker
No, I do see certain people, there's always you know lights in the ah in the darkness that are the ah building their own like levels of community. But that's the the way we grow. right you know like One person is a tree, it's a branch. like you know One person is here, like J-tips. And there's a lot of other people that are spawning from that. like Even as you see Westside Gun right is about to do Sockany.
00:25:15
Speaker
and he quotes J. Tips as being like one of his inspirations, and I'm sure that's huge, because J. Tips is actually a rapper. A rapper, yeah, we talked about it on this episode. Turned fashion stylist, not stylist, but turned fashion person. Designer. Designer, see. Y'all, it was a long night. I've had a long week, because y'all knew what my week was. It was great. Shouts out to Gibbs, my brother. Future guest. Yo, he could be. Because if he was here, if he was in town today, I could have gotten to pull up here. Well, future guests definitely smoked desert. Oh, future guests definitely smoked desert fucking skunt. That's my brother. That's my brother. So y'all don't talk to him like that. If you hear me say something about someone in a capacity that is like rude banter, yeah these are my people, people. So like, I i call smoked desert a skunt and a cunt to his face.
00:26:10
Speaker
But you can't do that. I call Freddy an asshole to his face. But you probably shouldn't do that. Just know your audience, man. That's another thing. People do not know their audience. Oh, for sure. People don't know their audience, especially in the world of sneakers. I've seen people like, let's say, for instance, I went out with Nigel one night and we were at Last Lap. I see a friend of mine.
00:26:35
Speaker
And his first thought is just to let his glitch out. Like, oh my God, Nigel Sylvester, let me talk to him about his sneaker that I'm sure he's heard about yeah a million times, and we're out. So you gotta just pick your spots and know your audience. Say hello, say what's up. What's good. Nice to see you. How's everything? Great work. yeah Keep it pushing. Exactly. Like, yo, I was out and I was trying to get your shoes. And then I did, he don't give a fuck.
00:27:03
Speaker
And I'm not saying that he thought, you know, let me not speak for him. But I would assume if we're out and about, if we're out drinking, if I met somebody at last lap after three shots, did I really meet you? No. No, because I'm probably not gonna remember this. I mean, look, last time I was with you, I definitely didn't remember. Oh no, he was gone. He was gone with the wind. So I know anybody's with you is gone. Bro, like we gotta have a good time. Like if that's,
00:27:30
Speaker
But whatever your advice is, you know, like I try to accentuate what people, you know, like if you want to drink and I have access to it, I got you. The only thing is when it comes to marijuana. Just have your own. If that's your advice, it's too many. that's It's too many people that want to smoke, but ain't never got no weed. Y'all never got no weed.
00:27:54
Speaker
once that once the Once I got five on it turned into a horror music song. That's it. they they Nobody had five on there anymore after that. And in the words of my brother Smoke Dizzy, it's a personal party. So that blunt is yours. Like when I hang out with my my friends that have their own weed, everybody's got their own. Everybody's rolling up separately. We're not passing. yeah It's passing things since the pandemic.
00:28:18
Speaker
can't get jiggy with it, but you know, love is love, and love is love. Love is love, bro. love So you got the man to win in, the whole thing? Nah, i don't i'm a I'm a realist, all right? You a Knicks fan too? I'm a Knicks fan.
00:28:34
Speaker
What are your teams? Bro, I just love the game. I love basketball. I love the game. um i was i I was a Warriors fan like as a child. It's like I was a Tim Hardaway fan with Chris Mullen type shit. And um when Kyrie was in Brooklyn, I was definitely a Nets fan. And I live very close to Barclays. Don't dox yourself. Nah, that's cool. Don't run down on me. If you feel like that's what you want to do,
00:29:04
Speaker
Yo, yo, just make a better decision. I don't practice violence, man. I'm not here for that. I'm already big and black. So it's projected that I'm possibly a violent person. My boy asked me to do security at his event today. I'm like, yeah, cause I'm big and black, right? Cause you've never seen me do security, but it's okay. It's all right. It's okay. um But Well, look, Golden State, I remember being a big fan of Jason Richardson, though. So like he was nice. He's very nice. He really and Baron Davis, Baron Davis is, you know, and also that jersey, that jersey, that jersey was crazy with the guy. Even when they stunk, their fan base was still lit. Like they still had like a huge following. But then, you know, Steph Curry came in and changed that. Shout out to Monte Ellis.
00:29:53
Speaker
Yo, Monte Ellis, bro, he would pull up and just do like drop 40 on a night just easily. In high school, he averaged 41 points. You know how hard that is to do? A bucket. The Mississippi, some I forgot what he's called, but yeah, Monte Ellis was like that guy before Steph Curry got there. Oh yeah, for sure. It just was a different league. The Warriors had some great players. Baron Davis was great for them. i'm Jamal Crawford. Jamal Crawford.
00:30:22
Speaker
um See, I'm not, like, I know Steven Jackson was a solid basketball player, but I just wasn't a fan of his actual game. Like, i'm I respect his game, but just like, it wasn't like aesthetically like I didn't, you know, yeah like the way the game looked, but he was efficient, and he was definitely a warrior, of Matt Barnes. Yeah, they had a couple people. I was a Warriors fan, but Chris Mullen was from Brooklyn.
00:30:51
Speaker
That's when I was a kid, kid. That man had the crazy hair. He went to Savarian, went to St. John's, but yeah, and then he played for the Warriors and then played for the Pacers.
00:31:02
Speaker
Yeah, which is why I feel like he's mostly known for his time at the Pacers. I guess. By the time he got to the Pacers, he was a shell of himself. He was, but they still were, you know, he was playing with Reggie Miller. Yes, so they were like suspected to win. They used to bust the Knicks ass. I hated it. I hated it.
00:31:21
Speaker
So did you cop any ah when you was growing up? Because I never asked you this, but did you cop any of the players' shoes? um Since that was your team? I think I had a pair of Air Raids. Yeah, I had a pair of Air Raids. Those were like the Tim Hardaway shoe with the strap. um I mean, Air Raids are always fire. The Spike Lee joints are always crazy. Air Raids, they've had some good ones over the years. They need to bring those back.
00:31:49
Speaker
But you know what, when they do bring them back, it's not like people are running out to get them. No, they're not. So whenever we talk about these things. Call the Garçon drive, bring it back, yo. With some crazy straps, yo. Where, whenever they do these shoes that, you know, have had an effect on us, when they re-release them, nine times out of 10 now, it's just in the store. It's true. A lot of these shoes that we swore by is like, you know, it's just not the same. Like, I mean, what's your thoughts on the Wu-Tang Dunk then?
00:32:21
Speaker
Yo, you know. I'm pretty sure you have in hand. You have him in the crib, right? Wu-Tang. Shouts out to Wu-Tang. I love fucking Wu-Tang. I do not have Wu-Tang done because that would be a lie. I could tell you guys lies because, you know, people get in front of these microphones and lie horrifically. And, you know, I'm not going to call anybody out that I've seen tell bold face lies on this very platform. But love is love. I think that
00:32:50
Speaker
you know, now when you run out of, when you're running out of sauce and you're trying to like pour water into the sauce to stretch it, I think that's what's happening now. I think that's what's happening. I think that you think that's what opening the vault means. I mean, there's no, if you are based on innovation, that is the the name of the game within a lot of these companies' frameworks is innovation. Innovation is forward movement.
00:33:16
Speaker
So if you have to dip into your old innovation tank, you're dipping into the old sauce because there's not much new sauce left. True, true. So, you know, you have to figure out ways to stretch the product. Yeah. So with that now, you'll see the Off-White Jordan 1 series coming back out next year. It hasn't even been 10 years. It's crazy. You'll see. So that's you that's actually happening.
00:33:43
Speaker
Cause like I've only seen like, you know that. And I saw that on sneaker news, didn't I? So like, sneaker news is fairly accurate. True, true. Wu Tang, you got ah Undefeated, Forest, probably coming back. pace Playstations are confirmed. And these are shoes that were like unicorns. So like, now that the unicorn is... ah Just a a pony with a cone? Exactly. I have an a pony, that's just a horse.
00:34:13
Speaker
And they don't even got like real horse hair. It's like a weave. Like a horse with a weave is crazy. Cause people use horse hair. anyhow Yeah. So it's like, you know, you're trying to find ways to just reinvigorate the brand. I'm not mad at it because some of these shoes I would actually like to have just for myself. But at the same time,
00:34:36
Speaker
I do want to know what ah forward movement looks like. I just do want to see some some more innovation. like As much as I love dunks, as much as I love Air Force Ones and Air Max Ones, I'm an Air Max One guy for sure. I almost wore my Para. Para, excuse me. Para? Yeah, I have the friends and family. he has a huke It matched with my outfit, but I figured like you know how I was getting on the bike today, so I'm a bike area.
00:35:05
Speaker
um The patterns, I did love the re-release or the retro, re-retro of those. But then like a lot of that, you're gonna see a lot of these obscure shoes that we always wanted come back out. And then the thing is, because the generation in time doesn't necessarily care about nostalgia. yeah um they may not hit the same unless somebody they fuck with yeah says, yo, this is cool. right And then they're like, all right, he said it's cool, so it's cool. um It's cool now. the I mean, perfect example, Klot Air Max 1. Remember back in the day, how much of a grill that thing was? Fam, my boy gave me a pair and his was like, DS, I wore them one year for Air Max Day. yeah And this was an original pair. And I was like, oh, I'm the shit with the clear toe box. It's like, it's great. And then when they re-release them, mary everybody's kind of like,
00:35:55
Speaker
You know how you get into an elevator with a white person? They like. Oh,
00:36:04
Speaker
yeah like might i know it's say them we like hey
00:36:11
Speaker
well man, I'm just trying, you know, I'm just trying. But Cause like we talk about about sneaker culture as a whole. I mean, you know, we've seen a lot of it manifest like the current state of it is a shell of it where I think that brands are trying to play into that card of like, was trying to let's make culture again. Let's make culture again. You can't make culture and if culture creates itself, right the the culture that was created in within the reason why we fell in love with it's this world in the first place, it was just um something that captured you.
00:36:51
Speaker
it wasn't something that anybody was purposely trying to build. When you purposely try to build culture, that's what you're gonna get. It has to be, like my man Larry June say, don't panic, it's organic. If it's not organic, I'm good on the beyond and impossible. I'm good on the beyond and impossible. Shout out Larry June, man. Good boys for days, man. Good job, Larry. Shout out to Larry, man. I'm a rapity rap loving ass nigga.
00:37:19
Speaker
And yeah, you ain't got one, rappers. Yeah, but it's not even on purpose. like i'm not like that just That kind of just happened. um But Larry, I'm a fan of Larry. He's like he's himself. and Oh, yeah. All the time. i do I tell this to people all the time when they're like, yo, how do you know whoever you know? I like to interact with people that are good with having their own party. like No matter what room they step into, they're going to be themselves, yeah always.
00:37:46
Speaker
So like my small, my circle is a period. um I might know 10,000 motherfuckers, but you only see me with a very select few people all by myself. Because you know, you you avoid a lot of things just being by yourself.
00:38:01
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. I mean, New York City is tricky. It is wild. It is tricky. Which is funny because a lot of people don't understand that when they're like, I like s sneaker culture and I'm in sneaker culture, but then you're only making videos online and you're not doing where the people are at. You gotta get out on the street and just be present. Be present in the space. You're gonna get a lot further with presence. The online thing is cool. You'll have a following and then there'll be people that'll walk up to you in the street or maybe not even walk up to you because people do weird things like,
00:38:41
Speaker
say, oh, I think I saw you. Nah, you saw me. so That was me, how I look like myself. Like, but you were too intimidated to just say hello, but you rather DM me. Yo, so weird. Anyway, yo, you know what? Let people let they glitch out. I'm being way too judgmental. If however you want glitch, you could glitch, bro. Like, that's fine. I mean, look, the, there's always like the whole, we got to accept people for who they are type of thing. I don't gotta accept nothing. That's the way the world works. I don't have to accept anything that I don't want in my personal space. That's, that's fine. Like, yo, we can agree to disagree. And I can just, you know, keep away from it. And someone can keep away from something that they don't agree with. yeah It's like, I'm following somebody on Instagram that you don't fuck with. yeah i don't But you watch all this stuff.
00:39:36
Speaker
You're so in tune, but y'all ain't even cool. Like that's weird. It's weird. It's weird. Is there is there a specific moment where you were just like, oh, I'm over this. Like, I got to get out of here. i okay Let me see a specific moment in sneakers. that I was like over this.
00:39:59
Speaker
Or like a specific interaction. um I'm pretty sure I had one, but yo, my brain is just drawing a blank. I've been through so much sneaker shit. yeah i know like it fresco is I feel like when you meet Fresco the first time, it's always just like,
00:40:18
Speaker
Like it's mad chill, immediately. yeah love So i I talk a lot of shit, I talk mad shit, but I show a lot of love. I have to have balance. um much yeah If you can't handle this shit talk, you can't receive the love. I'm sure I say it's a balance. It's it's both of those shits, they go hand in hand. But a moment that I'm over this in regards to sneakers. um Well, you know what? In reality, when it started to become ah like a boy band kind of thing, like you have like these boy band type groups that's like, all right, my friend is this. And then like, I can do this and this. And it's um it's kind of like a gatekeeping thing.
00:41:07
Speaker
um when for me, it's just always been shoes. like it's just It's just shoes, I really like love shoes, and I'm not looking for the shoe that is the most ah clout identifiable. I'm looking for what works for me. right exactly And when I started to see more and more of people doing what works for others versus what works for them, that kind of ah turned me off a little bit. And working in the space that I worked in,
00:41:38
Speaker
I got to interact with a lot of people that would come in and say, yo, let me get the shoes that Kim K had on, or let me get the shoe. What's the hottest shoe right now? That's the one that I need. yeah Like, what do you want? Like, what do you like? What do you like? And especially when you're in a store that has every single shoe that's yeah like, like from years come out and you're like, no, just I want the one that I saw on TV. Yo. And it's just like, yo, you have so much space and opportunity to be an individual. When it comes to sneakers, there's a lot of opportunity to express individuality.
00:42:12
Speaker
but you know, it's easy to follow. And we live in a insta, insta time where like, you know, you want to follow what is the norm for you per se. yeah And thinking is, I guess is overrated now. I guess, you know, thinking's overrated.
00:42:33
Speaker
That individuality is like, I mean, I feel like I called it out a couple of times on here where it's just, it's like gone by the wayside in terms of just like, let me put some thought into what I'm gonna rock today, what I'm gonna cop, you know, like, yeah. So I don't, I don't know, what what do you think, how do we get that back in, in the community?
00:42:58
Speaker
um Cause like, for example, you've influenced me when you do your videos and that's why I started doing my what's in rotation videos. I don't know if you've seen them as late. No, I've seen. Yeah. seen And so like I saw the way and I was like, Oh, I can do it like this. yeah And I was like, Yo, I just put on some fly. And then I just talk about the sneeze I wear and what I'm listening. I love music. I love my, I love kicks. um That's the two I wanted to mix together on these clips. And I was just like, I mean, I give you, this is me giving,
00:43:26
Speaker
This is what I was supposed to be like you found something within something that you thought was Was good enough that you could spin into your own space Being inspired by and putting your individuality into the inspiration So that is what I love to see like, you know, I don't I mean, of course I care if people watch my content and I don't over-promote it. i don't I don't walk up to people like, hey, I do, da, da, da, yo. Sound like me. Please, do not let your first, within your first 20 words of meeting me be, so what do you do? There's so much other things we could discuss. Like, just show me who you are first before I get to what you do, because your job doesn't necessarily make you. I know that this world is transactional.
00:44:16
Speaker
We live in a capitalistic society. A lot of things are transactional. Marriage is transactional. However, y'all want to take that. Y'all take that, but business is business yeah anyway. Shit, I lost my train of thought. Just talking about bringing individuality back in the community. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't do drugs before I got here.
00:44:39
Speaker
but I definitely had a piece of Shroom chocolate. Oh my God, and now it's starting to hit? Oh no, it been it's been there. You know, it's been there. I i live in transparency, which is why I'm a hologram.
00:44:54
Speaker
But um I say all that to say, can I borrow $5? No, but yeah, like, so there's there's, how do I see that coming back? Yeah, yeah.
00:45:08
Speaker
um
00:45:11
Speaker
I don't know because I want to have hope. I want to have hope in what is ah what the future holds, but at the same time, black oh pause um I want to have hope in what the future holds, but I also know what I see.
00:45:27
Speaker
and I have a nephew that's 21. And he's got his own like fashion line, shout out to Grey Area NYC. He hopes, so he's in various realms of the world yeah and he can't stand the way that people are in society and his generation is coming up. So,
00:45:48
Speaker
I want to have hope for them because they're bright, they're brilliant, they retain information quickly, like you know they they have so many great qualities. yeah But as far as like them being fully tapped in with their own individual self and creating communities and going forward, I just don't know. I'd love to see it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but No, yeah, I don't think i think a lot of a lot of kids are now, remember back in the day we had indoor kids that just stay indoor and then they just play video games, watch their anime, blah, blah, blah. I think a lot of the majority of people are now the indoor kids. yeah And so you got the people that are outside, but we're always seeing the same people. you know It's the people that wanna be outside. So how do we influence people to start coming outside? you know
00:46:36
Speaker
you know I recently did a comedy show and I talked to KO about it and like trying to get people out and trying to build community, but it's like the incentive. What's the incentive to be like, yo, I got to be at this thing. Transactional. You have to have something at your within your space and framework that you're pushing forward that is different from the norm, which is going to get people outside. So ah it just takes more thought and more ah of visibility again because you're not going to change the world just sitting inside. Like, you know what? Nah, you're not gonna change the world just sitting inside. Let me not chat, no shit.
00:47:20
Speaker
but there are some people that are afraid of what the outside world is. So they live in their shell and they they hold on to themselves in that space. And there's other people that are just very introverted, but they're super into what is the culture of whatever it is that they're into, whether it be sneakers, fashion.
00:47:39
Speaker
but um getting those people to be in tune with the the community, I don't know, it's gotta be something that's social driven because a lot of those people, they just live in the social space, that's their world. right And unfortunately, when it comes to sneakers, sneakers are like a tangible thing, it's something you have to feel step in experiencing. So if you're not like doing that,
00:48:05
Speaker
then you're just gonna be stuck inside that that framework of like looking on the outside of what you love as a community, but you're afraid to interact with it. right It's like, um I see people now that it just looks like everybody's the pandemic has changed everything. oh yeah for sure Between fucking people walking around with poo sheisties, for no reason. It was summer.
00:48:32
Speaker
It's hot. Y'all got on full tech suits with the hood on and a ski mask. For what? You don't got no ops. You not going to catch a lick. You ain't doing nothing. You're probably late to your Zoom class. You're not doing anything.
00:48:52
Speaker
But then that makes a lot of those people feel in power because someone else is looking at them in fear. fear yeah yeah So, you know, like it's it's it's weird. It's weird. The pandemic is has changed New York City drastically. Oh my God, New York City nightlife. I don't even want to get into that. Oh, I do, but I don't. I do, but I don't. I want to say this.
00:49:19
Speaker
the last time you've been to Soho House like that, or like, or? Oh no, last time I went to, I went to the last house I went to was Ludlow House. okay And that shit was lit. This was maybe two weeks ago, they had a all white party. And it was like,
00:49:37
Speaker
Clothes, sticks, and everybody sweating like fucking crazy in white, then they had chicks on a stripper pole. Yeah, it was ridiculous in there, but it was lit. It was lit. um I'm not a, I do fuck with the houses. yeah If I had to rank houses in New York City, um Soho House I probably had the most fun at. Soho House is the one in Poors, the meat packing districts, Niven and Soho.
00:50:04
Speaker
um Ludlow House is the one that's actually in ah in the Lower East Side, that one's cool. Dumbo House? I have a love-hate relationship with Dumbo House, and I'm from Brooklyn. But um yeah, the houses are different. ah I've never been to any, don't ask me.
00:50:22
Speaker
He could easily go though, cause man, people have stuff there. You don't necessarily have to be, I'm not a member. I am not a member of any of the houses. But have I been to them several times? Yes. New York City is based on connections. If you know the right people, you can get into several doors. There's some doors I got into that people like, yo, what the fuck are you doing here? I'm just like, I'm living.
00:50:45
Speaker
I am living, I'm outside. like i it's um You happen to be someone who I've seen that people have a lot of love and respect for whenever you step into a place or space. So that is because you have an ability to leave a lasting effect on people. I appreciate these kind words. Nah, for sure. that's um But that is what people translate as being mixy.
00:51:06
Speaker
I literally just was called that recently. I'm sure you were, because like you know people, you have access to certain things. yeah That, to somebody else's insecurity, yeah is labeled as mixy, when no, it's really just the fact that, yo, I interact with people well, I'm myself, and people receive me as myself, and they'll retain me as this person. yeah And that's it.
00:51:30
Speaker
So, quick pivot to, I want to talk about, before we get out of here, your last Hack Club drop. See, I don't talk about none of this shit. I'm not good at promoting myself. That's why I'm here to guide you through this, man. I would have never even brought that shit up. Shouts out to Hack Club. This is a Kid Cudi, I think this was inspired by, is it Man on the Moon? Man on the Moon, yeah. Boom, yes. So, you know, they recently tapped into doing a creator's Are you part of that Creators Club? It's like you, Tiana. I'm a part of that Creators Club. I've been with Hat Club now for maybe like two years. And I only got one hat. Yeah, I changed that. BL Facts. Yeah, I changed that.
00:52:13
Speaker
I'm never really, I know that, you know, I was late today. Of course, I'm always late, but um everything happens at the right time. yes So ah yeah, the hat club drop, that was June 22nd. It was called 7 p.m. in New York City. yes sir I know Melo and... Melo and Mero. Shouts out to the broogie boys.
00:52:39
Speaker
um but brual yes sir um They have 7 p.m. in Brooklyn. Now, this was created way before that podcast even came out, but the production just was after. But the idea of 7 p.m. in New York City for me is based around duality.
00:52:59
Speaker
um between a balance between the light and the dark. So if it's 7 p.m. in June, it's like daylight. 7 p.m. right now is dark. dark yeah So there's, ah and especially in regards to New York City, that duality and balance between light and dark, and then I wanted to make a hat that was universal. So the Dodgers are Brooklyn and l LA. right And then the colorway on the hat, which I put that together way after because, you know, I'm in the ocean with this. It's the same color as a globe.
00:53:38
Speaker
Blue, blue sky, green is ah earth. And then the gray under brim on it is supposed to represent like the concrete. That's crazy, that's fire. So I wanted something that had, I love storytelling. yeah If I'm going to design something, I wanna have like a decent story to it. Just like the way I put together in my outfits, like everything is a story. I do love storytelling.
00:54:05
Speaker
I mean, yeah, the you know, a lot of your videos is always based around that. And they come with a story. Come with a story. And, you know, I feel like currently is a lost art. Like this podcast is my version of storytelling. And, ah you know, shout out to I'm set free. He always does a ton of storytelling. And set free is like, oh like, I don't know him very well. He knows a lot of my people and just knowing what he's been a part of. I got to give him his respect.
00:54:33
Speaker
Facts, facts. I gotta to give him his respect, for sure. You know, that hat, when you posted that video, I was like, this is sick. I only wear Matt's hat, so I i can't, i feel you know? A lot of people told me like, yo, I don't wear this. A lot of my friends don't even wear fitteds. I get it. Hat was fire. Hat is gone, salon gone. Oh my God, they're joking.
00:54:56
Speaker
um But um I do, I've realized that I have a crazy ah affection for a Mets has. I didn't realize that I've got maybe like 75 Mets fans. Like a lot. I have a lot. I love the Mets logo. I am not and not a Mets fan. I'm just a little bit more of a Yankee fan, yeah yeah but I'm not not a Mets fan. It's not like the Giants.
00:55:24
Speaker
um The Knicks. Shouts out to Kerry. Kerry, you my dog. I got mad love for you. but
00:55:36
Speaker
But... The Nets. I can't even raise this middle finger for them. So I'm not a New York, like I'm from New York, got a roof for New York team. But in regards to baseball, hockey, I'm a Rangers fan. right same um And... Shouts out to, I had a one up on the game for a few years, but um New Era just got back the NHL licensing. So I had all these, I love and NHL logos. I think that, fun fact, my next hat, if I can do, will be an NHL logo. That's gonna be sick. Like I have to. Now that I see that they're back, got to the and NHL archives for logos. yeah
00:56:20
Speaker
Stupid. It's fire. I mean, look, the logo is the biggest part of the jersey. So all the jerseys always have to be fire. The Detroit Red Wings love that logo. The St. Louis Blues love that logo. The New York Rangers. Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago Blackhawks, one of my favorites. The Maple Leafs. Yes, Maple Leafs. Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg Jets, the Ottawa Senators. Yeah, there's so many. The LA Kings.
00:56:49
Speaker
The Old Kings logo, love that logo. queen Love that logo. So um yeah, like um I can't wait to see what people do with um with the NHL logos and NUERA, because I know it's gonna be a nice little rollout. ah Before we definitely get out of here, I definitely wanna, I want you to,
00:57:10
Speaker
I guess what is your biggest advice for storytellers? Because as it as it dies out and a lot of the content that we see online is very, you know, quick, flashy and stuff like that, you know, us people that are are spending a lot of time doing longer form content, trying to tell stories and be not be as concise, you know, want people to stick around. What's what's your what's your advice for us?
00:57:34
Speaker
um
00:57:38
Speaker
