Return from Hiatus and Fashion Chat
00:00:13
Speaker
Alright, you guys, welcome back to Soul Sandy's Sneaker Podcast, episode 9. We are back from our hiatus. You know, everybody gets busy.
00:00:26
Speaker
Had to take care of some things. Took a little mental break as well. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. You want to show us what you got on today? Mr. Jam. You want me to see the shirt? Yeah. and Tell us where you got it. Oh, okay. a Strawberry shirt.
00:00:43
Speaker
Strawberry Jam, if my Glock don't. Yeah. Some PacSun pants, and then the ah clay green ones on the day. So. Where'd you get that shirt, sir? The shirt you can get at curatedhypenc.com or come to the store. Okay, then I'm going to North Carolina, 27265. Or you can go to the Strawberry website.
00:01:05
Speaker
as well they have other colors uh but maybe not this specific color but you might see me in another two soon they're not cheap though because they got um a blue and orange one cash eat it so you know i money so you know just buy what wants okay dude he literally has six pairs right here so um i might not be able to squeeze past my stuff and get to the
00:01:34
Speaker
So this is actually this is like ah an older Nike hoodie, sweatshirt, sore sleeve thing. I actually thrifted this. i got the straight leg tech fleece pants and I have the Nike kill shot OG. This is undies, so you'll see this on my Instagram.
00:01:52
Speaker
um don't know, I got it for like 40 bucks one time on like sneakers and stuff. And I figured I'm never gonna wear them out. So, you know, this is a good opportunity.
Charlotte Sneaker Expo Experience
00:02:04
Speaker
I'm really chill today. He's coolin'. Oh yeah, I'm off today. a Had to go and deal with some things, but I'm off today. cool It's a light day. coolin'. all Alright, so we're a week off of the sneaker exit.
00:02:20
Speaker
Might as well go spin a racket of black on business. Had my mind on hoes, now I'm back on business. It's real. Back to what's important, I'ma build with you. Cause you here for me, and I'm here with you.
00:02:35
Speaker
the sneaker expo we went to in Charlotte, North Carolina. um I, in my opinion, it was a great event. here um And it was organized very well.
00:02:46
Speaker
A lot of people left early, but like I think it was still a good event. Yeah, for sure. It was just long. And it was on Sunday. And all the most of the other ones, except for the social sneaks, were on a Saturday. yeah And I think the Sunday, 12 to 7, was probably where they messed up.
00:03:04
Speaker
But if it was on a Saturday, I think they could have done it. My thing was is that I felt like, I know we had talked about it. This one has definitely been the best one for us, selling-wise.
00:03:15
Speaker
um Charlotte showed lots of love following the page, um trying to participate in the giveaways, buying the merch.
00:03:26
Speaker
I feel like with this one, unlike the Raleigh one, like when doors open up, there was line. So it was like, you got your rush right when I first walked in and we were right at the door.
00:03:37
Speaker
But with this one, it was like more consistent as the day went through. And like you said, ah they probably could have done 12 to five and everybody would have been fine. I feel like that's a good time period, but 12 to seven seemed like a little bit of a stretch.
00:03:51
Speaker
But that's what I would say, just consistent flow of people coming by the booth, asking questions, everything like that. um this one was definitely probably the best event so far. There was definitely a large amount of vendors.
00:04:06
Speaker
um The guy next to us was from Georgia and I mean he sold out his table pretty fast. and I mean he he hit the road. yeah And then the other dudes are from South Carolina and they hit the road pretty early too. But it's good that like the event reaches people like
Anticipation for Cola Kicks Expo
00:04:23
Speaker
that. I mean, the account had like 80,000 followers or something like that. so So that's a pretty good amount.
00:04:27
Speaker
And I know the one, the the day before the Charlotte show, they were in like Richmond, VA. um And then the guy that I end up buying my unions from, like he's from St. Petersburg, Florida something like that. Oh, the rest of the room? Yeah. Yeah, he's from Florida. Yeah, so yeah, he's from there. So like you said, just reaching that audience, especially for us and just talking to people and just chatting it up.
00:04:55
Speaker
As you go to these events, it seems like you see the same people, but it's cool to see different people. I'm hoping to have the same type of success this weekend at the Cola Kicks Expo.
00:05:07
Speaker
They have a decent amount of followers as well. They have multiple pages. and they're an actual store. you So I'm hoping that, you know, like just for that reason alone, like, you know, their customers are going to come out there. And I mean, it's just going be good to get out of North Carolina. And I mean, even if only slightly and like put sole sanity in a different state, this will obviously be the first out of state like dinner table I've done. so sure We'll see how it goes. Hopefully, hopefully like we said, it brings a lot of traffic like the
T-Shirt for a Cause
00:05:37
Speaker
Charlotte one does. so Yeah, definitely. Because I got a ah new t-shirt dropping soon. Y'all should see. it
00:05:42
Speaker
Actually, by the time this video is up, the pre-order will already be out. but um Definitely go look at it. It's for a good cause and it's got a decent design on it. you know so but know Show some support please. I appreciate it. So we were gone for a while. um So I'm going to show the shoes that I got while we were in hiatus.
Thoughts on Burgundy 5 Shoes
00:06:06
Speaker
Eli doesn't have his on them, but He remembers them and I will put them on the screen. um We both got this first one so this one's not too important and we we talked about this one a lot obviously.
00:06:19
Speaker
This is the burgundy 5. um This is in my top, this is gonna sound like a lot but top 20 shoes of the year because but that's I mean that's not a lot in my opinion but for some people that's a lot.
00:06:33
Speaker
but that says a lot because it's just a gr like it's a you know but this is this is really clean and i'm i'm glad i was able to get them for the price that i got about it and um like we said it's it's not too crazy i mean people weren't hyped about them i guess you could say because they said but it's like It's cool for us, like we said, because if we want them, we got it. We got for price that we want it for. So, it's just, at that she was just or at that point, it's just a shoe that if you want then you got
Social Status Mac Attack Shoes
00:07:05
Speaker
it. you can you can get it
00:07:06
Speaker
pretty accessible so so this is the social status mac attack the second pair the social currency um there should be two more pairs coming out i have both so far i need the next two um um i was able to get these pretty easily um people just don't really like the mac attack or they don't they're not paying attention to it or whatever but um i really enjoy this model This part comes off um like with like X-Acto knife, and there's an orange underneath.
00:07:34
Speaker
So in all the green parts. I don't know if I'll ever do it, cut it and do it, but you can make some cool designs with it. i might do one.
00:07:44
Speaker
Same with the other ones that I have. The silver rubs off in a pink, like the color of the laces were. But this shoe has got a good... like Social status does a a great job of like the box and it comes with like the currency coupons and the bag and the laces box.
00:08:03
Speaker
I mean, it's it's all just super fire. um Like, you know, that's hard. Yeah, that's hard. And I really like what we had talked about. Like, we're big on like the extra stuff and the concepts and like just the cool rollouts and stuff like that. So whenever I had sent you like the video of how they're doing with the kid who sells the candy off of his bike and like is just learning how to make extra money and you know of the guys that he's dealing with has the new mac attacks on just cool things like that that people i actually are going into and like have a story that they want to tell behind it and
00:08:43
Speaker
It's just a cool concept like you said once again if you want it you can go get it and it's easily accessible but we really like concepts and extra things around these parts. Yeah I mean it makes a lot of sense we're pay all this money for all these shoes um even if I got it at retail you know like give me something you know put some thought into it. So boxes are a big part for me I know not everything can come in a special box but You
Nike Terminator Low Purchase
00:09:09
Speaker
know, some stuff should. right My next one, this is the Nike Terminator Low.
00:09:14
Speaker
I was able to get these for a great price. I still need some highs. This is my first Terminator. But this one, like this Michigan colorway is clean. I wasn't able to get, was sleeping a little bit and I didn't get a 9.5 but I have a 10 so I'm hoping they fit the way I want. But I'm definitely glad to have these. I can wear some Michigan themed stuff without having to break out my Michigan dunks.
00:09:37
Speaker
wear the same stuff all the time. I think the like the big lettering and like the like this this whole shoe, I really enjoy it and I just can't wait to have some of the highs. That Georgetown like OG colorway would be probably my... It definitely gives me like back in the day vibes like with the big lettering like yeah how the old school like nike hoodies used to be um so yeah it gives me like definitely the old school type of vibe and then plus i think it's cool that you're doing a terminator
00:10:10
Speaker
Over a Michigan dunk which you'll probably see. Yeah, you could see that every other day. anywhere yeah um And like it's an older shoe. um They have a a cool one on sneakers.
00:10:22
Speaker
I mean, it's not sold out because nobody cares, but it's like a New York colorway. It's cool though. got a New York like it brought like Emboss logo on the back and it's really cool. So, you know, lesser shoes like that getting like some love is cool cool see for sure and this is one that Eli said he wanted and then somehow I ended up getting it um I don't know did I say it did I say I wanted these in an episode I think so I think you said you wanted them but then that you then you you ended up passing that day not not the flip-flop card yeah no no don't tell me you don't like them no more no I do my thing my thing was I like this shoe
00:11:02
Speaker
If I didn't have my mochas, I would have bought them.
Shoe Color Scheme Debate
00:11:07
Speaker
Um, cause it's literally, I compared at the store and it's literally the same brown. Um, I do like it because it's primarily black and brown.
00:11:19
Speaker
Um, that is one thing that I'll say over my mochas because the mochas are primarily white with the white toe box. Um, So, but this is a clean shoe. I don't know why people slept on her. It's not going for more money than what it is.
00:11:36
Speaker
I think over time this shoe will definitely go up because it's good quality. It's a good colorway. If you want it, you can definitely find it or try to get it not an arm and a leg price. so Anybody that's known me over the last two or three years since the MOCAS came out have known that I've been asking for a shoe like this. I like I like the regular mochas and I like the Travis Scott Mocha Highs.
00:12:01
Speaker
However, I've always wanted it to be black instead of white. So this is kind of what I was asking for. I wasn't a fan of it at first. I honestly wasn't going to get them until I saw the curated post and like them with like the leaves and stuff. It looked really good. yeah Unfortunately, I didn't go for them on day one. So now that now I have a 10 instead of 9.5.
00:12:19
Speaker
And as you can see, this is definitely a display shoe that you know they laced up. And put on the shelf. Yeah, got I got a little scratch on them. It's cool though. They're mine. Shout out Athletes Foot. I appreciate it.
00:12:31
Speaker
um But I'm glad to have them. Yeah, for sure. It's definitely great shoe. got these pants just in time. you You wouldn't believe how much I paid for you to take these pants. Probably criminal rape. And I got a brown one back there.
00:12:46
Speaker
Definitely for the love of it. He told me i was scamming people. You're scamming. Well, it's a different kind. All right, what do I got next? Um, shout out my employer.
00:13:00
Speaker
Oh. Uh, finally, I've been looking at these for a while. Um, there's actually a UNC Blue one coming out that I'm gonna need. I haven't seen these in person. Yeah, they're clean.
00:13:10
Speaker
Uh, got it. They came from 452. I think. Probably. Yeah. Um, super clean colorway. Unfortunately, I had to wait two weeks to get them on discount. But.
00:13:24
Speaker
You knew they were going to last two weeks.
Excitement over CB94 Acquisition
00:13:26
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. I was not worried. This is a super clean colorway. Yeah, um I'm glad to have these. I don't know what going wear with them. I don't think that shirt that I just made is going to do it, but I'll have to pull something out.
00:13:40
Speaker
But yeah, this is super clean. I'm glad to add this to my Air Max 1 collection because I have a fuck ton. Yeah, I think that shoe is going to one of those ones where you're just going to have to hold it until you find the right thing and then just
00:13:56
Speaker
Russia right now you know and if this is what I think it is y'all can hear me shut up about how I've been talking about these the CB94 talking about these forever um and apparently I missed the shock drop on the all black pair today and I didn't even know which is definitely the all black CB94s are definitely oh they they will be coming home at whatever price they need to on December 14th yeah whatever that's definitely uh that's soul sanity spent sanity shoot for sure man what I like For anybody that saw me post this on Instagram, like i'm I'm really ecstatic about having these. You've been talking about these for a minute.
00:14:32
Speaker
Man, what? Yeah. such a Just a classic shoe, really. Shout out Vernon. Shout out Vernon, man. Plug in. Everybody's plug, really. Yeah. Everybody's plug. So he got me these for like, I mean, like, he had the receipt in the box and what he charged me was less than what he paid. So i mean, I definitely appreciate it. Shout out Vernon, man.
00:14:51
Speaker
I'm super glad to have these. Vernon.
00:14:56
Speaker
shaau burn I know you're listening to this. Soul Sandy ever gets big. You're going on the friends and family exclusive. Oh, absolutely absolutely. For sure. anytime we do friends and family, Vern is on the list for sure.
00:15:11
Speaker
What did you get in the last few weeks, Eli?
00:15:15
Speaker
I got burgundy fives as well. Okay. And then when we were at sneaker exit, this is when it sneaker exit really just kind of I started going kind of crazy at that point.
00:15:27
Speaker
I spent a lot of money in like what felt like four or five days, but it was all shoes that I had been talking about wanting for a while. So I got the Union Beauty Supply Jordan 1s.
00:15:41
Speaker
Good thing is when I bought them, you were able to see them in hand. How you feel about that shoe now that you've seen it in person and everything? I have no like, negative criticism or feedback i just wish the laces like what i like you know the teal and the laces would have been cool yeah yeah um or like all yellow and all for an all teal or half and half would have been cool um or a gray because what they were white right yeah yeah um i just don't like white um But that's just a personal thing. But no, the shoes are clean, super clean. And you can always find laces. So I have no negative feedback. And they they came with like that orange, those orange laces as well, which I'll probably just keep the ones that are in it right now to be like subtle.
00:16:24
Speaker
um Over time, I've looked at the shoe and I'm glad people are sleeping on it the way they are. I'm glad that they did the colors the way they did and not try to do like something extravagant like the, everybody calls it the baseball mitt. Like, I'm glad that's not, like, purple or, like, dark blue or, like, something. I'm glad they did, like, a cream and a gray.
00:16:47
Speaker
That way you can just throw it on with a lot of things. Um... And I just like it, it's different. I don't know why, I just i just like it. So it just... understand gray. The gray part is it's clean. Like, gray is one of my like favorite colors when it comes to like shoes.
Jordan 4s and UNC3s Market Value
00:17:02
Speaker
The Corporate Got'em Airship, i don't know if you saw it, the all-teal has a gray bottom. um I've seen them with gray laces and I maybe want them a lot. However, when my boy got them in hand, they don't come with those laces. So before I buy them, I need to find them. right Yeah, gray is definitely a good accent color on shoes. sure.
00:17:22
Speaker
The next pickup I got was metallic orange Jordan Force. Shout out to the boss aka CEO for logging me this pair. he was He got metallic greens and then the same guy had posted metallic oranges in my size, sent the payment over and literally got them in a day.
00:17:46
Speaker
um So super clean pair, great price.
00:17:53
Speaker
Definitely going crazy on the floors right now as per usual. Yeah nothing's changed It's getting to the point. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it and I'm not trying to sound confident or cocky But the four collection I have right now don't know who can see me but you better You better come with that shit. That's all I gotta say. a shot. Please somebody and I'm not talking about new pairs I'm talking about you better have pairs from old, some exclusives.
00:18:24
Speaker
um I got that shit on Jordan Force. If you try this competition and you have Red Thunders in there, you lose automatically. If you have Red Thunders, Red Cements, Midnight Navies, it's an automatic L for you. I'm telling you.
00:18:41
Speaker
I'm telling you, better come with that shit. yeah Sorry, had to get that off my chest. today understand cause i'm going I'm finding older pairs, i'm just I'm getting insane on the Jordan 4s. All right, back to the program.
00:18:57
Speaker
um Then ended up getting a shoe that I've been talking about a lot. I've been bugging Spence about. yeah Ever since I sold this shoe, I regret selling it, but the money I got for it at the time was ridiculous.
00:19:10
Speaker
I got me UNC3s back for a great price as well. um And when I sold them back in the day, they were going for a crazy amount. So needed some bread at time, got rid of them, ended up getting shoe I wanted at the time, and then they come in full circle.
00:19:28
Speaker
for me to get the unc threes at of great prices i'm ecstatic right now if you think yours is a crazy price you should look at the receipt i have in that box if i have it in that box it's i know it's way cheaper than what i got for right which is great dough for you yeah great no yeah yeah i'm not mad you still got ah got a good price but you would just you would be like you'd be steaming yeah yeah for sure but i got my pair of retail at hibbit Back in the day when I hit, I got them retail day. So it's a shoe I wanted, but i just never wore. And then like the price for the brand new pairs when I sold them was like, I ended up selling them for like six, which is crazy to think now because that shoe is like $450 now. But at the time it was six brand new.
00:20:14
Speaker
And i was able to get another pair of shoes. I think two pair of shoes and like a hoodie or something from the from the store that I took them to. so Jordan's are just now made well enough for me to spend $600. But yeah, I'm ecstatic with all the all the pickups that I've got so far. so And more to come too, but I just have to...
00:20:35
Speaker
calm it down just a little bit just a little bit this is getting bad actually um we haven't recorded since you got the orange lobsters so jesus that's another one yeah the orange lobsters got those probably the week before nfl season started because i wanted to wear them on week one put the tail laces in you should have worn on week three wait i did wear em i want you to i want to store So the Orange Lobsters are 3-0 right now. The Orange Lobsters are 3-0 and up 70-20.
00:21:06
Speaker
Wait, what? Yeah, that'll make no sense. Broncos fans, you can just turn it off. you turn off Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, not sorry. Sorry, not sorry.
00:21:18
Speaker
All the two I hate better. It's two a time. For sure. um But yeah, Orange Lobsters got those. I've been talking about those for a minute on this podcast too, so.
00:21:29
Speaker
Been getting on stuff that we've been wanting. He got some fusions too, but we'll just bring those on here. You'll have to see those next week. They need a a deep cleaner. de and Oh, I mean, yeah, whatever.
00:21:41
Speaker
Whatever. And so we're going to start talking about topics and So... topics and stuff so Eli's been anxiously awaiting the the official pictures of his his favorite shoe in the reimagined form.
00:21:56
Speaker
So the official video and pictures have leaked of the red reimagined leather. I feel good. Obviously it's not the canvas ones, but you know i feel good knowing that there's a another version coming out leather-wise that I can proceed to be to the ground. Yeah, I was about to say, I would just wear my leather ones because can just wipe those shits off. Yeah. Whereas these are bright, these don't see the light of day very very often. Plus because they're also 10 10 and a half.
00:22:34
Speaker
The reimagines definitely definitely need them. um It's crazy to me that I feel like I never thought I would, as a young sneaker head, would never get to the point where I'm seeing shoes come back out again.
00:22:49
Speaker
But now I have two Thunders and I'll have two Bread 4s. So it's like, it's just kind of crazy to like wrap your head around it that like you're finally seeing the re-retros like Military Blues coming out next year. It's just crazy. I was actually about to ask that. what's What's your four of the year, you know, for next year? The Military Blue or the Reimagine?
00:23:11
Speaker
You gotta pick one. For new pairs? Uh, so, if you could only get one. You get a military blue you get another... I get military blue. Just because I already have bred four.
00:23:25
Speaker
What if you didn't already have it? Oh, yeah. um reimagining for sure. Just because, mean, you know how we both feel about primarily white shoes. and oh I don't know. Military blue might be an exception. Right. But I don't wear that color blue a lot either. So it's like those are two main like strikeouts right there. so That military blue. Yeah. I'm definitely going need those for sure. Yeah. they um Honestly, like i know I...
00:23:49
Speaker
I've said in the past that I'm not a big fan of them aging shoes, but the military blue is going to look good regardless. So that's something that they could have done on this one that I wouldn't have been mad at. I would have been mad that I don't have an original pair, but like I definitely need military blues.
00:24:03
Speaker
For sure. Yeah. I need fire reds too. This is the only OG four I have.
Reimagined Shoes Concept
00:24:09
Speaker
Great shoe. Could have got fire reds. Man, I had just started working at Diggs, so, and the people that I had just left at Foot Locker, they weren't rocking with me, so that's what happened. And we were talking about this before we started recording, but the reimagined, like the whole name, theme, whatever, and I got this from Mr. Unloved Ones and my homeboy, way he explained it to me, is that
00:24:37
Speaker
reimagined is a term that they're applying to it's not so it's not just like the ones that they're making age it's it's like they take a key part of it and just tweak it or like flip it okay so like the leather um but going from suede to leather is what that one is reimagined the blue one this royal one going from leather and so they didn't call this one the reimagine but they said the first one that they that that is in part of this collection is the patent bread from 20 whatever. yeah you know I mean, yeah it makes sense.
00:25:10
Speaker
um I mean, even when people call the store now, they don't call the white cements reimagines. They call them white cements. But um it makes sense for sure. I think it's a cool concept. It's just Some of them aren't my favorite.
00:25:27
Speaker
I think if you're going have a collection like that and dub multiple shoes into this collection, like we just need to be very clear about explaining what reimagined means. Just so people are aware. you know Knowledge is power. And now that I know that, I mean, that's something I carry with me and I really like I look at it differently. Yeah, for sure. People might might be like, oh, I don't want that suede. But it's like it's it's supposed to be a new take on an old model.
00:25:53
Speaker
you know And that's something you just got to consider. I would rather have a suede Royal than some other ugly Jordan 1 colorway. you know I was going to say, are you going to try to go for the suede royals? Oh, absolutely.
00:26:04
Speaker
And the satin breads, yeah. I guess that's another one where I have royal ones now and and a suede one's going to come out. So that's another three-peat that... Well, you you don't have your satin breads anymore, so you should get these satin breads.
00:26:17
Speaker
The satin breads used to go for red. Yeah, Yeah, literally. Satin breads. Oh, shit. I just... The satin breads that you wear on one time with that crease, it's... You got that crease forever at that point.
00:26:27
Speaker
But... want i want I've been wanting OG breads or bands for ah minute. So we'll see. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how the cars play at time.
Nike Refurbished Program
00:26:41
Speaker
This Nike Refurbished, have you had a chance to look at the website? Yeah. I hadn't looked at the website. I've seen it, like what Nice Kicks posted and then what you told me the other day about it. But I haven't seen it. like I tried to get in on the first day when it launched. That thing was packed.
00:26:56
Speaker
So I haven't had a chance to get on it afterwards. Zach looked at it and he didn't see anything crazy. So the good stuff probably got snatched pretty quick. i would I would like to see them like put some protection on the website or like up the...
00:27:13
Speaker
the meters or whatever to make it you know more accessible to everybody um but it would be cool if they like said oh i'm gonna we're gonna drop new new stuff on the refurbished site on ah thursdays or you know as long as they give us a time frame um and ah it'll just be cool to like you know get an update to look at that um but yeah i think i got to it too late for sure i just mean i don't know like how are they getting their hands used shoes or refurbishers or just people bringing them or they're still ones that have- I mean, was gonna say, they take pretty much anything back from people, so it makes sense for them to just like, you know, try and make some money off of them. I didn't even think about that because- People return shit all the time. Yeah, well, like even when people used to buy like Vepromax Pluses from Hibbitz, they'd wear them
00:27:59
Speaker
a couple of times and like the air bubble will pop and it's like well Hibbit don't do anything for that but if you to reach out to Nike yeah personally they'll recombensate you or give you a new pair or whatever like that so it makes sense now I'm thinking like crazy shoes like how do they have a use Jordan like Thunder 4 and so at all of these Nike outlets the Nike refurbished program is not like brand new by the way it's it's been at the outlet right you know you've been able to buy you shoes and they have even a like ah a bin where people come and donate their old shoes yeah so it just makes sense for them to monetize it and I mean a lot of them are 50% off or more so It makes sense. And they have like a few
Taylor Swift's Impact on New Balance 550
00:28:40
Speaker
categories. So if you don't want to get something that's like, oh or you could even get a B grade or you know some some of the stuff that what you would see at an outlet is now available online. So that's cool. right
00:28:51
Speaker
That's definitely cool to see. T-Swift. Oh, Swifties. The the New Balance 550 is now back on the map. Sorry, 90-60, your run is is a coming to an end.
00:29:05
Speaker
Sorry, 480. Sorry, all the other ones. Yeah, all the new bounces have been going crazy. 1906 had its time. 2002. But T-Swift is taking back over. so Yeah. Literally, we had talked about this before.
00:29:19
Speaker
Like, within her being at the Chiefs game with the 550s on, 550s, like, new bounce, like, it was on their, like, number one trending shoe. Mm-hmm.
00:29:31
Speaker
um and then it was it it did like a certain amount of percentage overnight from the sunday night game to like monday or whatever and then travis kelsey's jerseys went up like 40 or something like that and then like i told you um the homie that works at the new balance store in charlotte said that he went to work the next day taylor swift's music on the playlist at the store in new balance so It's crazy to see these trends in real life, like, working out at store. Because I had no idea that she wore the, like... I knew they were dating, but I had no idea she wore Because that's, like, that's really, like, obscure. Yeah. um
00:30:09
Speaker
And I'm just not on social media that often. But... You know, I could just, there was, there is an uptick, like, really is, like, in the store of people wanting 550, especially girls. Yeah.
00:30:20
Speaker
And now that I know, it's just crazy to look back on my week and be like, wow, that's they were coming. That's really why they were coming in there. So, she got the, I mean, I'm not saying, I'm not comparing apples to oranges at all.
00:30:32
Speaker
But, i mean, it's, we've talked about it, it's a Travis Scott effect, almost. Yeah. Where it's like, brown shoes. you know, whatever the case may be, like, just people that have that, like, if they have it, they have it, of, like, being able to control people like that or how people think and what they want to wear what they want to buy, so.
00:30:53
Speaker
No, it's crazy, the like, the way, like, you can see somebody like that and, like, okay, they sent her a free pair of shoes, she didn't think anything of it, she wore them and out of them. But it's the marketing move by New Balance is to be, like, okay, maybe the guy that she's seeing wears a red jersey or a white and red jersey, the chances of her wearing red to the to the game are high. She's one one of the most basic colorways ever of all time. like And you know what's crazy?
00:31:22
Speaker
I had the same colorway she wore and I sold it a month ago for like 40 bucks. If I would have held on to that shoe. Yeah, they're worth a lot more. I think I still have mine. yeah Bro, I said this before, but all of those sideways boxes are 550. Yeah.
00:31:37
Speaker
but yeah but if i would have held on to that specific color because i had the same color as she wore i mean i probably could i mean i'm not saying i would have been up a lot but i mean i would have rather had 80 bucks and 40 bucks yeah at that point for sure i mean honest somebody would have took them gladly instead of like i'll give you 40 bucks yeah you know what mean so and that's that's it for uh so sandy secret podcast episode nine I appreciate y'all tuning in.
