Speaker
We'll start with the, actually we'll start with the a fit check. You will start with us, Mr. Douglas? Yeah. I have the camo Stone Cold Steve Austin hat on with a cream Nike Essentials. Essentials shirt. Yeah, Essentials shirt. um Brown corduroy,
00:00:55
Speaker
ah Carhartt pants, and the Starfish ones on today. We got a new one of those ah waiting for you at the store. Oh, yeah? It's gray, black, check. Interesting. Interesting.
00:01:08
Speaker
Pull up on me. I have this one and the the all black one. I didn't really like the blue one. I need the all black one. The blue one is okay. um you know I'll get it at some point when he goes on sale. It's a weird blue. yeah Find something for it.
00:01:21
Speaker
um Texas Longhorn shirt. you know Just you know regular pecs on Chino pants. Brown outfit. I'm getting my car serviced today. and This is the stuff I wore when I bought my car. I don't know. was feeling...
00:01:34
Speaker
real motory to them so matches matches analogic but like i was gonna say feeling real automobile you know kind of matches the uh the interior yeah yeah it does match the interior you know saying um we didn't plan to yeah low-key low-key twin today but it's all right though yeah unplanned unplanned All right.
Mischief's Big Boots Launch
00:02:00
Speaker
We'll start with the mischief. You know, they got another, they got two more big boots coming out. um
00:02:06
Speaker
First one is that yellow croc boots. which What are your thoughts, Mr. Douglas? I don't know. I mean, I just think it's a joke at this point. I mean, I i think that they're just trying to make money off of it.
00:02:21
Speaker
um I mean, it's funny, I guess, the way they rolled it out, like with the, um, What do you call it? The mom? Yeah, the mom that was at that Paris Fashion Week or whatever and he was wearing them. Like, it's a cool way to roll it out.
00:02:35
Speaker
um Yeah, but I mean, i ain't nothing like I'm gonna buy or anything like that. I think it's just like a thing for other content creators to buy and probably wear. Yeah. um i I like the mom thing. Like, I think they took really good photos and had a good um like outreach with it but i think mimes and clowns are like are here you know so like that you know where was this on the red ones right you know but i mean there was a lot of social media people like doing stuff with the red ones and there probably will be with these two um i don't know how that's gonna work though like they're plastic like i i don't know you know i guess i guess they're like rocks i don't know those are big ass holes though yeah don't the shoe is much bigger yeah they don't they don't
00:03:24
Speaker
Not going on my feet. No, and it don't make no sense. Yeah, I just... um It's just like a cloud thing. like I guess they're just going to see if they can really sell it or not. yeah and just see who I mean, the people will buy. It's going to sell out, but it's just going to be probably like a conversation starter. It might go down. I mean, the red ones are you know sitting under retail now, so we'll see sure how the hell the climate goes. I mean, a year from now, they all could be triple the retail, but yeah but these black ones...
Devin Booker's Shoe Launch
00:03:53
Speaker
The black ones are kind of hard. I'm not going lie. ah I'm not going to buy the black ones for $350, but I have a similar shoe. um These are just too similar, in my opinion. And these were also retailed at $350, and I didn't even get them for retail, so I just couldn't you know fathom buying another space boot. These are a lot better than... Oh, way better quality. They're not just plastic. They come with extra laces. They actually tie up. i mean yeah like These shoes got plenty going for them. oh you You've seen like boots plenty of outfits with these.
00:04:28
Speaker
You could style it a whole bunch of different ways than just ah the black boot or the red boot or whatever with the big jeans or some people were wearing shorts with it. just But you will see me enter a big back boot drawing. I will, you know.
00:04:44
Speaker
If my look continues you know and I can win another free shoe, that'd be cool. I would take that one, now especially at at the price it's at now. It would be cool to just have that. For sure. um it's like and ah It's another BBB shoe, like the you know the big baller brand. yeah They're probably going to ride that out. They put BBB on the back, though. That'd be that be pretty cool.
00:05:04
Speaker
Not the same logo, but still.
00:05:08
Speaker
All right. um Those are the Devin Bookers. are you feeling? Trash. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I don't like them. They look like fucking bricks. It's like this mid-top weird... like
00:05:23
Speaker
It's stiff. It's like... I don't know. I don't know if I just thought of like something to be cooler because it's Devin Booker. and like Usually like his sense of style and like the way he dresses and the way he carries himself is like unique to him and how he does things.
00:05:39
Speaker
um and I'm a fan of him, but... And he was like one of the athletes, like him, Damar, and somebody else was like when Kobe passed away, like they were the ones like kind of pushing the Kobe brand. So I don't know if I was expecting more of like a Kobe lookalike or like similarities in Kobe's because he likes wearing those.
00:06:01
Speaker
But, yeah, these are at least the colorway that Nice Kicks or whatever posted yesterday. like I saw two or three. There's an orange one, a black one, and i think another color. Yeah, and there's none of them that I'm like, poop yeah, they're fire.
00:06:13
Speaker
I mean, maybe the you know the little kids will probably buy because Devin Booker is – a lot ah lot of the kids like Devin Booker. So they might buy them. And they might just be ugly, but they might be really good hoop shoes. But I don't hoop like that, so – um i'm not a fan um so my overall answer would be no however the zion three i am a fan of don't know if you've seen it oh i don't think i've seen there the picture um i'll show you it's clean um i just know what the other zions have looked like and then i this one this one's clean okay um
00:06:48
Speaker
and Now, I don't know how it's going to play.
Nike's Strategy Amid Athlete Controversies
00:06:50
Speaker
And it's a low top, which is weird, you know, for, I mean, you know, Zion's never had a low top like that. But yeah these are um these are kind of clean.
00:07:00
Speaker
um And usually it's the opposite. Like Jordan Brand will come out with the hoop shoes and Nike will have a cool, you know, hoop shoe. Yeah, those aren't bad. But they did, it I think they did the thing with this one.
00:07:11
Speaker
um Maybe not this color. i Not quite this little toothpaste color, but the but the black one is the one that I saw. Yeah, this one's cool. Yeah, that one's not bad, for sure. And then have you seen the Luka? Yeah, I've seen the Luka. I'm a fan of the two. like the Luka too.
00:07:26
Speaker
That's going to be a good one for him. We had the Luka ones at 452 and never sold a pair. I think they were just too – I don't know if it was just too plain or like the colorway that I had. I don't know. They just didn't.
00:07:40
Speaker
i I don't think I ever sold a pair like we never sold a pair i mean outside of that red pair most of them were just primarily like all white and yeah another color like accent color yeah so I mean it's hard it's hard to sell stuff like that if you don't have good colorways um I don't know why like I said this last time i don't know why they don't lean on the old designers like is Tinker retired like is he officially retired or can we ask him hey yeah can I reference you real quick yeah for sure um I know we had talked about this in a previous episode, but once again, another situation where Nike hasn't made a statement about Zion's situation that's going on outside basketball. And then they just announced the Zion 3 that's coming out with no disregard or anything. They don't make no comment about what's going on. They're just... Keep their mouth shut. And just release the product. I mean, that's how you stay out of, I mean, political turmoil, if you want to call it that.
00:08:35
Speaker
um But speaking of Jha His shoes that came out last week and The Hunger yeah the seventh The Red Ones or yeah whatever yeah so which i thought That was Saturday fast Fast forward to Monday We get an email to pull them off the shelves Um They didn't pull them, suspend them or anything, but the release date has been moved again to where they're coming back out on the 15th. What's the point? i mean We sold 80% of the ones we had right that weekend. right I got four left. you know like why Why am I about to re-release these four? Yeah. yeah For sure. i don't know Nike's got some weird stuff going on when it comes to stuff like that. There's a lot of things that like the regular public doesn't like they don't realize that unless they make a statement about it. Like, you know like oh,
00:09:19
Speaker
you know Somebody might come into your store and be like, yo, like I seen where y'all got them. And you're like, well, yeah but yeah, but no at the same time. So it's like regular people in the public that aren't in the retail space or get the emails from Nike and everything like that. like they went They wouldn't see that stuff. Because it it happens more than then people think unless it's it goes on the apps or whatever. And it's like, oh, we've moved it two weeks or whatever. and so um And then Kyrie's got a new deal going on.
Kyrie's New Deal with Anta
00:09:49
Speaker
I believe it's five five years. With Anto. Yeah, Anto. And he's going to be chief ah creative, like, organite or something, operating something. So, you know, seems like they're going to give him a big bag. Yeah, for sure.
00:10:03
Speaker
And give him a lot of creative control, which is cool. Yeah. I don't necessarily know if I would do that with an athlete, you know. Yeah. um Yeah, he might have, you know, some good ideas. But I don't know if I'm handing out a spot like that. Yeah.
00:10:17
Speaker
Yeah, and... in great move by answer though um to get somebody as caliber as Kyrie that was on Nike at one point because I think answer only has like the biggest one they had before Kyrie was probably clay I think that's the one that clay Thompson's with yeah um so which clay is a ah big name in in the in the NBA as well but somebody top tier caliber with a Nike line everything like that Nike product um
00:10:49
Speaker
great it's a big move yeah andta i it sucks that they had to like catch him on a rebound yeah um but this is definitely gonna like bode well for the company as far as like putting younger people on and i mean kairi influenced a lot of like younger kids like a of young kids like really really really like kairi so right my little brother is a kairi like fanatic like with his shoes like You know, he went to Duke and everything. Like, he just – everything he does, my little brother's like – he's had every single model of his shoes. Like, it's just – and there's kids like that everywhere.
00:11:23
Speaker
I'm not turn this into a sports podcast, but I'm just not a fan. So, I'll keep my opinion to myself. Well, I was going say with Anta, like, I know they're more of, like, an overseas brand. So – I mean, who knows what the overseas sales are going to do with them having Kyrie's because I know they don't really sell a lot in the States. But, I mean, this is a way for Kyrie to probably go on like a summer European tour or China tour or whatever. And, you know, they're probably going to kill over there doing basketball camps or whatever the case may be. So it's all about the marketing. And I think. Like I said, they chose Will.
00:11:56
Speaker
um I just, I don't know about the head, creative. Yeah. know, that's kind of. Just give him the deal, give him the money. And just. Hand him away the keys. Yeah, just, you know, say, okay, in the contract, we got to, you know, you make.
00:12:10
Speaker
Every year we have to make these four different colorways. A breast cancer one, you know, a Black History Month one, a Christmas one, you know, whatever the case is. Like, we have to make these four every year.
00:12:22
Speaker
and then whatever he wants, if he wants to make one for his birthday or whatever, like do that and then just make, but the creative people create.
Return of Kobe Shoes
00:12:32
Speaker
So speaking of Christmas, how are we feeling about these Kobe's?
00:12:35
Speaker
The reverse Grinch's one. Uh, yeah, the reverse Grinch, but I was just, I mean, the Kobe's coming back in general. Um, need them, need them. Yeah. Reverse Grinch's need them. Um, the all white eights are cool.
00:12:48
Speaker
Um,
00:12:52
Speaker
I probably wouldn't wear them casually and I'm not a hooper like that anymore. But when I did hoop Kyrie or Kyrie, Kobe eights was my favorite hoop shoe, which was of people's favorite hoop shoe at the time.
00:13:03
Speaker
um Yeah. like, I'm glad they're bringing Kobe's back. I just hope that the resale on all of them isn't through the roof. um I hope that bringing them back and, you know,
00:13:18
Speaker
just bringing them back so everybody can wear them or like air everybody that wants them or claims that their Kobe fans can have them. But I know that's not how it's going to be. They're going to make a hundred thousand pairs and make everybody fiend for them.
00:13:31
Speaker
So I really hope that's not the case. Um, it would be really cool to be able to own some of the Kobe models that I, I want to, I'm not going to, I'm probably not going be that guy and just, you know, buy whatever comes out. I really am like, no, that's not me.
00:13:45
Speaker
Um, But it would be nice to own some of the Kobe's that I used to own or some of the Kobe's that I wanted that I didn't get a chance to own. It's it's a nice you know opportunity for those people and for me.
00:13:58
Speaker
But i like I said, i like you said, I really hope that it doesn't turn into a money grab and they just limit it But they can really control the market you know with the the amount of stock they make. So it like let's just hope that Nike has good intentions and you know wants to help the public.
00:14:17
Speaker
And it'll never be like how it was when we were growing up, like Kobe sitting on shelves or anything like that. It won't, it won't ever be like that, but at least let me go to a different website instead of sneakers and have a chance.
00:14:33
Speaker
Like the ones that we're going show later, like at least give me, like if I strike on sneakers app, like at least let me have a backup plan or like, yeah so there's not, a million people on sneakers app and then it's going to crash and then it's going to be 11 o'clock before people start getting results and all, all that bullshit. Like just, even if you don't even put it in stores, like let Foot Locker get online, let, you know, even if it's like tier one boutiques that get it, like whatever, bro, like just spread it out to where you can spread the love instead of just hanging on to it.
00:15:11
Speaker
But that it won't happen. So, yeah, we just got to, hope for the best on that one. um But yeah, I really hope I get to own some of the, some of the Kobe's that I wanted back in the day. And some of the Kobe's that I had that I took advantage of. Yeah, I, the crazy thing is I have a pair of Kobe 8's that I hooped in um that I kept. They're at my dad's house um that I just kept in the closet because they were my favorite hoop shoes. So I just kept them.
00:15:37
Speaker
And then now it's crazy to think about like, for some reason I always just held on to them and then now it's like, oh shit, like, you know you i held on to them because they were my favorite shoes at the time, my favorite hoop shoes probably ever.
00:15:49
Speaker
And held on to them and everything like that. And then just how 360 it came like of his passing and all this shit. like Just crazy. I have ah had a pair of Kobe 10s that I was playing basketball in. was probably my favorite basketball shoe at the time. um But I don't know where they went. like i don't know if they're in the trash. i don't know They're not in here for certain. right But I don't know if they're in my parents' house. i don't know. like When I went to college...
00:16:14
Speaker
i don't remember taking them, but I don't remember not taking them either. They've just slipped through cracks somewhere. the They were great hoop shoes. The thing like we keep talking about is like for the people that... It sucks because there's people that are wanting Kobe so they can actually play in them and like actually wear them that are actually Kobe fans. like I remember going to...
00:16:38
Speaker
this basketball camp and every summer, um, the same dude always had a pair of Kobe's on. Like I remember one year he had Kobe eights on the next year. He had nines next year. He had 10s next year at 11s. Like he's like, Kobe's are my, my shoe, like my favorite shoe of all time.
00:16:54
Speaker
So like when something like this happens, I think of him, like he might not even be in shoes now, but if he is and he still wants Kobe's like for the nostalgic, like he's going to have to pay four 500, 600, $700 probably. And it's like,
00:17:08
Speaker
It's crazy because, yeah. Every time I go and play, I see like a ah younger kid wearing Kobe's and I'm like, how how much did you pay for these? Yeah. Like to play basketball in? Because I know you didn't have them. Right.
00:17:21
Speaker
And it really just, my it's mind boggling that like they can convince like, you know, or save up enough money to even get, you know, get access to something like that, even if they're not making their parents pay. Yeah. But I'm just like, yeah, you were like four. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
00:17:38
Speaker
For sure.
Excitement for KD4 Shoes Return
00:17:39
Speaker
Speaking of Nike basketball, KD4. Yes. We got two confirmed colorways so far. Big Bang and Weatherman. Which are you more excited for? Weatherman. Weatherman. Please. um I don't know, man. Big Bang is a is a good one, too.
00:17:53
Speaker
It is. um but I'm excited for both. I mean, I'm going try and get both, you know, but this is for sure the same thing we were just talking about. Probably not going to be the case. Another nostalgic shoe. And this is the first time Katie Forrest have came back. Yeah. I think they're probably at around 300 after they come out, but we'll see.
00:18:09
Speaker
But though yeah, I need, I need these. I've had KD4s on my want list on GOAT for a long time now. Same thing, that just nostalgic of like the time period we were growing up in.
00:18:22
Speaker
KD4s, KD5s, just Nike basketball just at its peakness, like just top tier Everything they were dropping just couldn't be touched. um I have the Weathermans for sure the want list.
00:18:39
Speaker
The scoring titles, which is kind of crazy. The scoring titles is like um like a Golden State colorway, but Katie Forrest was definitely when he was at Oklahoma City, so it was like a weird coincidence of that now that you look at it.
00:18:52
Speaker
um The Texas Longhorn ones with the the Longhorn on the tongue instead of the Katie logo need those, um but they might not bring those back out because of license and all that all that shit. but oh Yeah, kate I'm excited.
00:19:11
Speaker
Probably going to be mad at the sneakers app once again. I've never owned a pair of KD4, don't know if they're going to be comfortable. I hope so. i mean cause i Obviously, all these basketball shoes are not meant to be worn, and I'm not bad at hooping these. um but yeah I hope they're you know comfortable enough for me to wear around you know casually. yeah um Speaking of weather, man, was looking at phones the other day. Weatherman phone is brand new. Your size, $300.
00:19:36
Speaker
There's a size 10 down the street in somebody's closet um that I could probably get for like the free. For real? A 10. ah you you know and You know who you are.
00:19:47
Speaker
I'm coming for them. You let me know about that. Whoever you are. I don't know who this is, but you let me know about that. um Yeah, they're... they're so Basically, the um who we're talking about, parents divorced.
00:20:03
Speaker
I texted him about them because I was like, yo, like he had them like when they first came out. He was always a bigger guy than me. So I figured now the size that he was wearing then is the size I wear now.
00:20:14
Speaker
So I texted him and I was like, yo, do you still have these? at a He's like, they're my dad's house. Okay. um Dad sold the house, moved to the beach.
00:20:28
Speaker
so I'm like, okay, what happened to the, what to the weatherman's here, you know, oh and then he texted me randomly one day, and was like, yo, my little brother has those, and he i was like, what size are they, and I think he said 10, but if they're not cooked, I'll yeah we'll definitely reach out and see we need to talk about this as soon as we finish yeah i'll we can we can make a phone call and and see what what's going on with those for sure but 300 is not bad i definitely thought it was gonna be a lot higher than that um especially for a shoe that's like not gonna fall apart no um but want to bounce off of you i've never owned a pair of katie fours either so once again just getting stuff that we wanted when we were younger um
00:21:16
Speaker
that we just want.
Peak Era of Nike Basketball Shoes
00:21:17
Speaker
And so I'm excited. I'm excited for Katie for us to come back. This seems like we're transitioning out of the, this whole Nike dunk era. Yeah. Like seems like dunks are dead and Nike basketball is coming back. I hope so. um Even if they keep bringing the old stuff. Yeah. um Please retro the hyper dunk.
00:21:37
Speaker
Yes. Yes, please please. That was my favorite. That was my favorite. Besides Kobe's, my favorite hoop shoe was a hyper dunk. Yeah. Those are tough. I have a like i have a memory with Hyper Dunks.
00:21:48
Speaker
I was probably 10 or 11, and then my sister probably bought me a pair that was on sale. And I wore them then to the ground.
00:21:59
Speaker
Hooping outside, inside, going out to eat. Didn't matter. I was wearing them to the ground. um And then the next year, playing basketball, found a colorway that matched my basketball uniform. i was going brazy. I mean, this was just a golden time of like, you know, like 2010 to 2014. Yeah, 2010 to 2014.
00:22:21
Speaker
So, golden time in Nike basketball. You know, all those, the Christmas shoes were crazy. i mean, the the playoff games were crazy. Everything about it was crazy. All-star, every all-star collection, like. Yeah, the um the Nike commercials that they were doing.
00:22:35
Speaker
Everything was top tier. All the basketball games, it seemed like, on Christmas Day were top tier, like. i was going I just remember going to my grandma's house with the whole family and like me kicking all my older cousins and like my uncle off the TV and being like, yo, I'm watching ah the Lakers and the Heat because this is when Kobe was on the Lakers and the Heat was D-Wade and LeBron. and like i just It just seemed like a – Black Christmas jerseys.
00:23:06
Speaker
Just an error at the time. You don't know you're in the good times until until you until it's not the good times anymore. So that's when people was wearing khakis with basketball shoes and polos. Blake Griffin.
00:23:22
Speaker
What a time to be alive. You don't know it's your last D-Wade to LeBron live until it's your last D-Wade to LeBron live. You know what I'm saying? yeah Yeah, it's a sad time. um I am happy to say goodbye to dunks though. Like, yeah, i own some.
00:23:39
Speaker
It's cool. But I sent that that message to our little group chat the other day about the plum because they're coming back out and they that was the first dunk I remember coming back out in like 2020 or 2019 whenever they came back and I got them. Yeah. So I'll be able to tell you the time.
00:23:57
Speaker
But i just... Yeah, like, why bring it back out? Why are we getting a shoe that came out two or three years ago we haven't even gotten back most of the dunks that haven't been retro from the 2000s or from, like, since they came out in 84? This is a claim pair, too. Let's see what the release date is.
00:24:19
Speaker
The production date is 2019. Okay, so it's been four years, but They probably came out in 2020, though, right? If the production date was 2019. Yeah, even so, but, like, you know, there there hasn't been a re-release on, like...
00:24:38
Speaker
Like the Heineken or like, you know, I mean, maybe that's a collab, so I'm breaching. yeah But like, you know, there's been there's plenty of colors that we haven't gotten. yeah Now, they they've released over a thousand dunks. I know it for a fact since this. But like, why am I getting this again? if Brazil is coming back, like, give me something else before all of this makes a comeback. Are you just doing a cash grab? yeah That's what bothers me. That's that's probably all it is. It's just the the cash grab at the moment. Just, yeah. Yeah. they haven't even been long at been out long enough for me to get the whole pack yet yeah i don't you know i don't appreciate another retro i haven't even got the you know gun for sure there's still like older like you said even like even if it's not like chill out on the regular dunks like let's go for older sbs and stuff like that like it has to be like a crazy dunk now or like something that i don't see a lot of people wearing for me to grab um
00:25:38
Speaker
But even like at the store now, it's just a whole bunch of dunks and one SB on the wall. yep Or like the SBs that we have are in the case because they don't bring out SBs and the SBs are top tier money shoe.
00:25:53
Speaker
I hope if the dunk goes down, the Jordan 1 goes down too, so I can go back and get all the Jordan 1s I want. yeah And we can you know transition on to another sneaker era, so yeah I can get collection or stuff. that you The stuff that you want, for sure. If we're going to start mass-producing fives, that'd be cool. I can get Bel Airs, I can get right Black Grapes, because they're going to start bringing stuff I'm not saying they're going to fives, but whatever they do next, it just becomes much easier to collect those stuff because you get a bunch of retro. For sure. I think that's where I've been at here recently. but
00:26:26
Speaker

And then when the price is right and everything like that, I've just been pulling the trigger on that.
00:26:47
Speaker
And just getting that because that like the new stuff is just, I feel like I see everybody with it all the time. And it's cool to kind of step out and be like, okay, yeah, like I have some shoes that are older than 2019, 2020. You know what I mean? like Really been doing this for a little bit. so Not new to the game. True to this, not new to this.
00:27:12
Speaker

Practicality of Casual Wear for Basketball Shoes
00:32:50
Speaker
box. I don't know, man. i just like wearing basketball shoes. I mean, most days when I get off, a lot times I go to basketball anyway and I don't have to like immediately get there and unlace my shoes and when I mess them up, i can really I can warm up and stuff like that, you know?
00:33:01
Speaker
Right. And what I have on, I'm usually pretty excited to like, you know, I get on the court for some reason. they like I'm ready to hoop. Yeah, bro. What we got on it the pedestal? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.
00:33:15
Speaker
Excited about this too. Oh man, Dion Primetime. Signing back. Well, is it official yet? I think so. Okay. Signing back with Nike with his actual logo on it instead of it just saying Air Diamond Turf. Now it's probably going to Air Diamond Turf too, but it's probably to have an actual Dion Prime logo on it.
00:33:38
Speaker
This is the Oregon PE that I have. Yeah. yeah I'm excited for these to come back. I don't own any. um But i'm I'm a fan of i'll take the of shoe. Yeah, that is just, ah and once again, another ninety shoe.
00:33:53
Speaker
um You know, the same thing with the Barclays and everything like that, just at that time period. um I was watching an interview with him last night. i just I'm a big fan of Deion as a football player, as a guy, as a coach. like i just Everything that he does, I'm a fan of. um I was a fan of him at Jackson State, what he was doing for that. And then now that he's at Colorado, like I'm just – obviously I like his shoes, the way he plays. I have the – when they did the Mitchell and Nash jerseys that Hibbett got, yeah I got the Deion one.
00:34:31
Speaker
um So, yeah, I'm just a big Deion fan, and I think he does deserves his flowers and everything that he gets I think he deserves. So I'm super excited for that. I really hope that everybody sleeps on the shoe when it comes out and they're readily accessible and I can get them 40 to 50% off because I mean, the people of nowadays finger heads don't like these, this style of shoes. So please, don't please let it sit. Yeah. I just, I'll like, I'll wear these, you know, to do whatever, to go to the store or or whatever. I'll just wear these. And it's like, nobody's looking at my feet until like an older guy's looking at them and they,
00:35:11
Speaker
and they know what they are. um But, yeah, I'm excited about these. Because I was telling my i was so telling my dad about this the other day, but, like, how um how Nike was doing these and, like, the up-tempos and everything like that and, like, how they're not paying these athletes. Like, people know about the up-tempos and people know about these.
00:35:33
Speaker
um And it's, like, people will literally come into the store and say, oh, y'all got them new Pippins that came in. But on the box, for the people that work at the store that don't know nothing, you know, they're like, what is a Pippin?
00:35:51
Speaker
And it's like, was pooping yeah, that, and it's like, I was educating my dad the other day about it, like, yo, like, Nike is really putting out up-tempos, diamond turfs, all this and that. They put out the Flight Hirachi, which, I mean, Chris Webber wore, like, bunch of people wore, and, like,
00:36:09
Speaker
Even to the point where people would call them Webbers. Yeah, like, and it's like, people are like, yo, you got these, like, ah and it's like, unless you know that that's like who wore the shoe, like, people that don't know, they're like, no, that's an uptempo whatever. Yeah, yeah.
00:36:24
Speaker
But I was telling my dad, like, how Nike is getting away from not paying these people. And, like, even in the 90s, the biggest thing was, like, Scotty wasn't getting paid for the up tempos like yeah deon was probably getting paid off of that um bo jackson's getting paid off of his but like scotty was truly promoting this shoe people know him as the pippins and they weren't cutting him a check for it and they still don't cut him a check for it so it was like and i was telling him that and he's like well that's crazy because i'm like man that's just how it goes like and don't ever get his love right like
00:37:04
Speaker
I saw a fact the other day. I'll have to actually check it, but it said that Michael Jordan only won one playoff game without Scottie Pippen. I don't know how actually true that is. I'll have to really like you know delve in. i need to um though Speaking of that whole thing, I need to um text that dude about the the Rodmans that I sent you a picture of like a while back. i don't know if he... He probably still don't have them, but he might because, like we said, today's sneakerheads, they don't know what they are. so I might need to text him and say...
00:37:34
Speaker
and what' up You still got them? I would love to have, like even if I just had one, like i don't like a lot of the shoes I want now, I want all the colors of them, but i mean even if I just have one Dion and one, i have a couple Bo Jackson's, but if I have one Rodman and one whatever yeah it would just be cool to have for sure sneakers well that's like i told you like this is going to be the only organ p i have because it's the most yeah slept on one or disrespected one or whatever but sensible yeah readily accessible but just something about like i have the clear cases so when it's just sitting there and it has the big o like even if i don't wear these like it just looks super cool um to have like the big o or like
00:38:17
Speaker
that feeling of like an Oregon PE in the collection. So I can definitely agree with that. Yes, sir.
Upcoming Sneaker Expo
00:38:24
Speaker
So August 6th, there's ah another expo.
00:38:28
Speaker
It's the same one that I went to in Concord. at social cake So having another one, i'm probably a 10, you know, if you can, you know, for sure. A 10. Yeah. promote odd I'll ask this, but it don't have to be in the video or anything like that, but just,
00:38:46
Speaker
For you, if you had to...
00:38:55
Speaker
You have to sell everything in this room. Except for 10 shoes. You get to keep 10.
Which Ten Shoes to Keep?
00:39:02
Speaker
What's the 10 you're keeping?
00:39:07
Speaker
I mean, for all practicality purposes. And it don't have to... Like said, you don't have to have all 10 right now off the top of your dome, but... i just I thought of that question the other day.
00:39:17
Speaker
um For me, it'd probably be five because mine's a little bit smaller than here. I mean, OG, Air Max 1s. I keep my Silver Bullets.
00:39:32
Speaker
I keep my – the only OG shoe I have. I guess the Lost and Found. I keep the Reimagined 3s. What am I? The 5? It's four. That's four. Because you said two Air Maxes and two over here. um Yeah, I keep my Black Phones.
00:39:48
Speaker
um Playoff I keep my Carmine 6s. All classics. I keep my Bread 4s. yeah I got to keep the Chicago 2s.
00:40:01
Speaker
ah Yeah, nice. Bread 11s. I'm out. why I ran through. I'm out. i' out back um I'm going to wear black and red shoes all day, every day. That boy went everybody ran through 10 fast. Yeah, I'm saying you only think too like Two brands? Yeah, two Air Maxes and eight Jordans. Well, don't matter. The boy wears his phone five days out of the week. so Yeah, I'm going to be good. The rest of my shoes are to be crispy. um Yeah, yeah. I mean, that was smooth. I was like, you don't have to answer now. Just think about it. He's like. ah I mean, 10 is not too bad. i mean, I could probably like, you know, i just started thinking about Jordans in general. I didn't even get to fives because, I mean, I would have to get rid of my fire red five red fives.
00:40:46
Speaker
i would have to get rid all my sevens. um The Aqua 8s, I've got to come out. i don't even have them yet. I'm going to have to get rid of those. The 9s I have, any 10s. Get rid of the Cool Grays.
00:40:57
Speaker
Damn. No Space Jam, no Gamma. no you know like I don't have those, but like you know that's just – with what I have right now, that's what I – I get rid of all my 12s. That sucks. No 14s, no last shots, and none of the 15 through 19. It really hurt mine.
00:41:14
Speaker
didn't pick no Adidas, no nothing else. Nah, you didn't. You didn't pick no Dunks. No Romero's, no nothing. Damn. All right. But, nah, that's a solid list. I'd probably keep that.
00:41:27
Speaker
All right, y'all. um I appreciate y'all tuning in to episode three of Soul Sanity Sneaker Podcast. I'm Spence. D-Doug.
