00:00:00
Speaker
What's good, everyone? Welcome back to my first kicks. This is episode 174. I hope so. And this week, welcome Nya, and then eventually, Michaela. What's up, what's up, what's up? What's good, what's good? Full, full, candid, I was late. I biked here from Queens and. But at Queens, not far. No, I mean, this is still like a six
Queens and Brooklyn Proximity
00:00:24
Speaker
mile bike. What part of Queens? Yeah, I'm in, well, I don't want to dox myself. Oh yeah, but, okay. I'm deep.
00:00:29
Speaker
Because I was like, it's not terribly far. This metropolitan ain't that far. That's like the borderline. You could be in Queens. You could be in Brooklyn.
Delayed Meeting and First Sneaker Experience
00:00:38
Speaker
We've been trying to get this to go together for a while. For a minute. For a minute. And I feel like there's always something. Yeah. It is always something. I don't know what it is, but it's always something. So we finally made it. Yeah. Two years ago, we emailed back and forth. For a man long, yeah. And then who got into the car accident?
00:00:56
Speaker
Me? Yeah. Okay. Last August? Yeah, that was me. Okay, okay. I'm glad you're good. Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you. And now we're here and Mikayla's running late, so. Yeah.
00:01:10
Speaker
This probably gonna be a part, there's gonna have to be a part two after this. But welcome to the podcast. Thank you, thank you, this is cute. You know, shout out to the homies at my friend's basement, Maxim and Connor. I don't know the third guy, I'm sorry third guy. I thought there was a third guy.
00:01:28
Speaker
See no third guys. Imaginary third guy, sorry. Imaginary third guy's crazy. But you're here to answer the question, because we got to jump into the question with Nya first. And that question is, what's your first kiss? What's that first pair of sneakers you absolutely needed to have? That I absolutely needed to have?
00:01:46
Speaker
Is this after I discovered that I really like sneakers, or is this the first sneaker to set it all off?
Sneaker Influence and Cultural Background
00:01:52
Speaker
Whatever store you feel. I feel like the first sneaker that set it all off was the Cherry Red Low 11s. I was in elementary school, and my dad used to work in Staten Island. Well, that's where his main office was. So back then, there was really no lines for stuff like that. So he would go on his lunch break. And I was wearing a size 2 and 1 half Y or something like that.
00:02:14
Speaker
one and a half, some preschool size or something like that. My foot was small for a long time. And I think that was the first pair that I was like, oh, two. This is kind of cool. He was bringing me sneakers home.
00:02:29
Speaker
I would say like on a regular basis, but it was just like, I was like, okay, yeah, cool, whatever. Like I put these on for school, but those, I was like, wait a minute. I didn't know sneakers could look like this. And then that's when I was like, oh yeah, more of these, like whatever they got pumping out. And that was like the year that it was like a whole bunch of loads. I think it was like 2001. Yeah. Yeah. I was in like
00:02:49
Speaker
Was that snakeskin low? Yeah. It was snakeskin low, the pink, the blue, then it was like Carolina blue lows, Columbia blue. I think I put it on my Instagram. I think it was like my birthday post. I was at a birthday party and it wasn't mine, but I had the low Columbia leavens on. That was whatever gear that was. It was like 2001, 2002. It was very serious. That's when I was like, oh, yeah. I didn't know that sneakers could be this fire. That's kind of what started it.
00:03:16
Speaker
And you always lived in the Bronx? No, no, I grew up in Brooklyn. You grew up in Brooklyn? Yeah. And then you moved to the Bronx. Yeah, I got older because it was cheaper. Yeah, makes sense. You know, you come back home from college and stuff don't be cheap no more. You be like, dang, where am I living?
00:03:34
Speaker
I mean, what was it like being in high school and going like? Well, I went to Catholic school, so I didn't get to wear, like I would wear my sneakers to school. Yeah, where's your freedom? Where's your freedom coming from? Yeah, like I used to wear my sneakers to school. Yeah. And then I had to change. So like I would have my stupid hush puppies in my locker.
00:03:50
Speaker
I hated those. They're so ugly. I was like, where's the style? So I would change my hush puppies. But I wear my sneakers to school. Whatever I was feeling, I would just wear them to school. But I feel like in high school at that time, I was really heavy on Air Max. So I had a ton of 95s.
00:04:08
Speaker
I feel like there was a moment when there was a bunch of 95s that kept, I guess I would say, retroing, because it wasn't the first time they ever came out. It was like the neons that came back out in all the colors, damn nears, because I know I had the green, the orange, and the pink. And I think the yellows are coming back, but I ain't touched the yellows because I had the orange. And I was like, ah, it's not the same color, but I don't need the yellow. But yeah, I had all three of those. I had like mad 98s, because 98s was having a run.
00:04:33
Speaker
I had a little Nike Blazer moment, but those used to hurt the hell out of my pinky toe. That pinky toe, man. Oh my God. They used to hurt the hell out of my pinky toe, but I had like two, three good pairs that I was just like, yeah, I don't know. I just really, I remember I had this white and gray pair and they had like gold laces. Interesting.
00:04:54
Speaker
Yeah, I know I got a picture of my feet. But is it the 87 blazer? Is it the one with the little thingy on the side? No, not the one. No, no, no. It was just straight. Yeah, it was just straight. Pinky toes on fire. Pinky toes always on fire. On fire. Those, the fours. Pinky toes on fire. But now the new style is a little more comfortable.
Comfort and Evolution of Sneakers
00:05:15
Speaker
like the sb ones and then the the four the bread fours yeah that is way better but fours before no i will say before those the most comfortable pair fours i had were the olivia kim fours but that's maybe because they came in women's sizes so it made it different i don't know but i would compare those to like the comfort how comfortable like the sb and the reimagined breads are because fours used to
00:05:41
Speaker
Like white cement fours are one of my favorite pairs, but they hurt my pinky toe real bad. I just recently wore my OG white cement fours. I need those to come back out. I need those to come back out too. But like, I don't know if you have this problem, I'ma bring it up. So every four I've ever worn, this like the midsole, like it's the sole, but like this one specific part right here that gets scratched. Cracking? No, it's just a scratch. It's like a weird scratch.
00:06:09
Speaker
Some of mine start crackin', like the paint start crackin'. That's weird, I don't know. I don't know what it is about that one. Like are they just painting the midsole and being like... Yeah, screw it. They gon' buy it anyway, right? They gon' get it anyway, just leave it. I don't know, but yeah, that is real...
00:06:28
Speaker
Like my, I don't even remember what year it was, but I've got like three, four pairs of like bread for us. Like the reimagined ones, then the Nike Air that came out like what, two, three years ago? And then there's like the other one that the grade school pair had to jump in on the back. That's like solid three. I know that that last, the one that jumped in on the back.
00:06:49
Speaker
that I can't do nothing but dance. What do you think about the jump in on the tongue, jump in on the back? It used to, for me, I feel like it would bother me because they would only do it to the grade school parents at that time. Now, everybody, justice for everybody, you know what I'm saying?
00:07:05
Speaker
Everybody gets, everybody gets a Nike Air, everybody gets a better looking box. You get a Nike Air. Yeah, you get a good box. I used to just get that black box with the gold jumping on it. Yeah, the gold jumping on top. That's why I had started investing in those clear cases.
00:07:21
Speaker
I had all my little shelves and I was like, it's just a bunch of black boxes. This is a rack. There's no variety, no color, no nothing. It used to get me a little bit because I used to be like, dang, if my foot was a half size bigger, I'd be paying more money while a whole size bigger because they didn't really care about seven and a half in men's for a while. It was just strictly eight, eight and up. So I'm like, dang, if I wore an eight,
00:07:45
Speaker
I'd be paying more, but at least I'd get all the cool boxes.
Nostalgia and Teaching Experiences
00:07:49
Speaker
Yeah, the cool box, all the extra stuff that y'all would get. The retro cards. Yeah, we would just get shoe. Back in the day, we got retro cards with some shoes. It was very, very rare. Yeah, it was probably like, it would be like the eights. Yeah, it was eights. That's what you would get. Eights, sixes, you would get a retro card. But everything else was very, you know, you just got shoe, you know? And tissue paper. I mean, I've been a size 13 since.
00:08:13
Speaker
She's middle school. Maybe. Wow. Yeah. My foot was like, yeah. I was like, no, that's crazy. Like a nice to teach middle school. Like I feel like one of the boys, like they are just grow. So like some of them is like, damn, I had a student that was in like I taught sixth grade and he was like a 13. He taught sixth grade. Yeah. How did you do that? It's not as bad as everybody think it is. I feel like they'll be like, ah, no, she wanted us.
00:08:39
Speaker
They used to think I was cool. Like they would, they thought I was their friend from them sometimes. Like I was, I did not let them follow me on social media. Like even though my page is open, if I, if I would go through my followers and I would see them, I would block them. Cause I'm like, yo, y'all are 11. I'm not, y'all think in your head, I'm like 19, but I'm not 19. I'm not y'all friend.
00:08:56
Speaker
No, yeah. Maxim, our other guest is outside. Thank you. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not your friend. I'm not your age. It's hard to see. I used to be a guidance counselor. No, I was like, well, I worked my first, first job. We'll definitely get into your first job. But my first, first job was I was in high school and I was in charge of the afterschool program for the summer camp at a nonprofit.
00:09:25
Speaker
them kids used to get at me the entire time. I was just, I was just living life. Yeah. Oh, you mean like get at you. Okay. Yeah. What do you mean? What did you mean? I thought you meant like they was like, you know, like clowning you out. Yeah, they was clowning you for real. Like, yo, this man, cause I was fat and they'll be like, they'll be coming at me. They'll be like, look at this fat dude. Look at this. Like my kids ain't clown me like that.
00:09:46
Speaker
They can't, though. I feel like they couldn't. No, they they could. How? Because like the things that they would say to like some of the other staff, I'd be like.
00:09:57
Speaker
Dang. What's the situation in y'all room? Like, they not talking to me like that. Duh, that's crazy. What was your first
First Job and Gender Bias in Sneakers
00:10:04
Speaker
job? And like, what was that first pair that you bought with the? Ooh, so yeah, I did have to get a job to start buying my own sneakers. Because after a while, my parents were like. Right in front of the camera. My parents was like. He blocking the whole camera now.
00:10:16
Speaker
Just come sit right here. Come sit down. Yeah, I had to get a job because my parents were like, we not buying all these shoes. My dad kind of created the monster and then after a while I was like, all right, you took it too far. So my first job officially was, I used to answer the phone in the front office at my church and I used to get paid under the table.
00:10:42
Speaker
Of course, yeah. It was just like, okay, here's 120 a week. You know what I'm saying? And I would just answer the phones after school, if I had time, if I wasn't at practice, and then early, early Saturday mornings. So I used to go there early, early Saturday and get my little envelope for my little money. You're responsible. Yeah, I was responsible. I'd be counting up my money, put my money to the side.
00:11:04
Speaker
I think one of the, okay, there was this one pair, I remember this one pair of J's, there was a pair of 14's, and I don't remember the name of the colorway, but there was white, like all white, and they had like light blue, you know, like the little shark fin thing look inside. Those was like light blue.
00:11:21
Speaker
And they had like a I'm gonna find a picture of it and had like the the jump man was kind of like pinkish colored Mm-hmm. I was in like ninth grade It might have been a good bubblegum jump man. Yeah, I feel like there's probably a grade school pair but that was the first pay I bought my own money
00:11:40
Speaker
I mean, they need to bring back grade school, like the separation in grade school. Yes, but like fire grade school, because after a while, they used to be fire grade school, and then after a while they were just like, make everything pink. And it was like, ah, what happened? The worst, I mean, now it's that whole, I don't know, I mean.
00:11:58
Speaker
Y'all be online like me, so I know y'all see it. Where the dudes are being like, oh, why are all the women getting all these fire color waves? I'm like, man, shut the hell up, bro. Yes, please, be quiet. Look at how I'm sitting here telling you, the first pair of shoes I got was a Grey's Group pair that was relatable to me. I still wear that size, but it's like, damn, I'm not 14. You know what I'm saying? So it'd be nice to get pairs that kind of reflect the fact that I've grown up a little bit.
00:12:27
Speaker
Yeah, I don't need a bubblegum pink pair of sneakers every time. And don't get me wrong, I do got some like, I got like an old pink pair of Vapormax, but I don't even remember the last time I wore those. There's pink sneakers and then there's like childish pink sneakers too. Like there's some that look real childish. So facts. There's good pink sneakers and there's some that's like, like, you know, it's a childish for you. You remember those pair of fives they had that was like,
00:12:48
Speaker
green, it was like the green with the pink and the purple. It was like, that's childish. I'm like, I don't like that. It was like a funny green. I'm gonna find a picture of it. It was like a funny green. All right, while you look for that, let me hit Michaela with the question.
Snowstorm Sneaker Purchase
00:13:01
Speaker
Hey. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Always late. We're going to New Jersey. We both wait, it's fine. But, you know, I'm going to ask you the question and that question is, what's your first kiss? What's that first pair of sneakers you absolutely needed to have?
00:13:14
Speaker
with my money that I bought? Yeah, you want to bring the mic closer to you too. Is it that better? Yeah. That better? These things. My first pair of things I ever bought with my money, I think they were the Chicago tents. Chicago tents. Wow. I think so. Yeah. Do you remember these?
00:13:32
Speaker
Oh man. Those are the Nicki Minaj's right there. That's a moment for life. The moment for life.
00:13:48
Speaker
But yeah, what's the story? What's the story behind these Chicago 10s? It's a very dramatic story. I remember I was working at Jersey Gardens Mall, right? It was a snowstorm. And me and my friends were like, yo, we're going to get the sneakers regardless. We don't care if it's snowing, we're getting these shoes. So me and my little truck and my friend, we drove all the Jersey Gardens in a snowstorm.
00:14:09
Speaker
Once a footlocker when it was easy just the cop happens away online or anything like that and we was both grade school sizes too So we just walked into um kids footlocker and cop and drove back home in the snow Little dramatic. That's crazy Because we thought oh they gonna sell out this and Thursday Yeah, we just have to go get them and get it over with who's up early as hell like dumb early up at five thirty Yeah, I'm like I would never do this again
00:14:33
Speaker
I don't know if y'all both are like this, but when you buy a shoe or when you buy something, do you go back and check if it's sold out? Oh, yeah. Sometimes. Because I feel like that little validation of like... It depends on what it is. It was like something I really want. I know it's going to be hype and I got it. Yup. I'm going to look. I'm like, that's a ha ha. Exactly. But has it ever happened where you cop something and then you go back and it's still there full size run?
00:14:57
Speaker
And I'll be tight, because I'll be like, dang, I probably could've got this one. I could've waited. But I feel like in this climate, you never know, because everybody will always be like, oh yeah, I'm not buying that. Like, oh, those are wack. We're not gonna cut those. Like the ones that you have on your feet right now. Everybody was, oh, we're not wearing all those stuff. What is that? And then like, they up. They was moving. They were moving. They were going. And I'm like, oh wait, time out. Especially in smaller sizes, they were moving. Smaller sizes were going. The smaller sizes were going. I had to wait until the sneakers dropped.
00:15:26
Speaker
These. Aha, yo, yeah, those are fire. Those are fire. Oh yeah, I do remember those. That was the first pay I bought with my own money. I mean, you got the, you better send the email.
00:15:44
Speaker
I do want my forest green fourteens back. I do want those minor falling apart. I don't know these. I don't think I know. Yes, you do know what they look like.
00:15:58
Speaker
I feel like a lot of times we make, like until lately, I feel like maybe in like the last five plus years, I think we just used to call shit different things. Like that's one of my things, right? I feel we lose that where the brands are telling us what the shoes are called. It used to be a whole thing.
00:16:18
Speaker
I had Matt Haffill on the podcast and we talked about the Bread Fours and Cement. I'm like, in New York, it was Bread Fours. You can't tell me otherwise. I don't know any other name. What's the other name? Black Cement. They're saying because that's what it says on the box.
00:16:34
Speaker
Oh, no, I never heard nobody call it that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The first fours are black cements. That's what they say. That's what they say. See? And it's like... And people be like, yo, nothing after the... Oh, I don't listen to those people. Those are 11s. Nothing after 13s? Some people, yeah. Some people, it's like nothing after 13. Some people would stop at 12. Some people stop before 12. I mean, I skip. I skip.
00:16:57
Speaker
Do I have sixes? I feel like I don't have sixes. Outside the infrared sixes, maybe? There's no other sixes you have? I don't know. Not even Carmines? I had the... Carmines. No, that's what I'm thinking. Carmines. But I don't have them. It's not like you don't have at least a Carmine. I don't have a Carmine. I don't have any six. I got one, two. I had to get a pair of twos because I didn't have twos. So I got the OGs.

Vashti twos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's it. Vashti twos. And I got the OG twos. Yeah, yeah, OG twos. When they came back out.
00:17:45
Speaker
I think I got those for a shoot or something like that. I was just trying to think. Did I go outside? No, I think I got those. I'm curious how y'all two met. That's funny. I can never tell the story, right? Because I don't know.
00:18:02
Speaker
It was two mutual people. And it was like Tekiki on Instagram all the time. Yeah, I think we met at like one event or something like that. I don't even remember what the event was, but I know Robert was definitely involved, probably. Yes, Robert. Robert Williams. No, no. Government sounds crazy because he just like, that's such a common ass name. That is definitely a Robert Williams man.
00:18:28
Speaker
Mr. Robert. Yeah. And then after that, we would... I asked her to be a part of my t-shirt shoot, and that was the first time we ever met. She's like, I ain't know you so short. I never said I was tall. Y'all always assume. No, I'm never going to lie to you.
00:18:43
Speaker
I did not know Michaela was that little in real life. Nobody knows. Because, like, yeah, everything else, it was just like, oh, yeah, yeah. And it was like, oh, yeah. Look at Instagram. You follow pictures. Just get the angles right. Because it was like, oh. I was going to say, yeah, Michaela with the angles. Yeah, like, we like the same height. And then I opened the door. I was like, that's who's that?
00:19:02
Speaker
Now, who's that? Yeah, I'm sure, I told you, I never said I was tall. That's not like the first thing in my bio, tall. No, but I mean, you didn't even have to say that. It was just like, wow, like, I don't know. Like, you had, I don't know, you had me fooled. I was like, ah, that's what I do. Who is that? I was like, height fishing. Like right now, my feet are touching the ground. This is like kind of weird for me, because you know, at our studio, my feet be deadly. No, for real? Yeah.
00:19:28
Speaker
It's not funny, but it's funny. It literally be like this. It's not funny, but it's dangling inside. I'm a grown ass woman, and I'm like, my feet can't touch the ground. It's all good. It'd be like that sometimes. If I sit in the backseat on the bus, my feet swing too. Mine would just be hate. I'm just like this. Oh, you talking about, I was thinking about the yellow bus. No, no. You talking about the legit? Yeah, yeah. Those backseats are just. The backseat is crazy. My feet be like this. It's only good in the winter. If you sitting in the back on the summer, you cooking.
00:19:58
Speaker
What's up, y'all? So I'm jumping in this week's episode to talk about SoulSafe.
SoulSafe Promotion
00:20:05
Speaker
It's a new mobile app that doubles as a hub for the sneaker community.
00:20:10
Speaker
You can do pretty much anything and everything that deals with sneakers from cataloging your collection or tracking the value of your collection or even getting their industry leading sneaker insurance which protects you from basically anything like storage theft and
00:20:31
Speaker
Of course, you've heard it on here on this podcast, things like flooding. And they launched a marketplace for everyone to buy, sell, and trade. That's mad dope. So what's really dope about that is that there are no fees through the end of June. But what I love most about SoulSafe is that they are building for and with the community.
00:20:55
Speaker
none of that taxing, or charging you to join, especially when you're just trying to add kicks to your collection, or even do anything. Just join the community, plug in your collection, and tap in with SoulSafe. So, if you want to help the pod, and please, I know that you do, because I know that you're listening, use my promo code, PPOQA5, or tell them my first kicks pod
00:21:23
Speaker
sent you when you sign up. There will be a dropdown or a click something that will tell you how did you find or ask you, how did you find about this podcast? And there you go. But I implore you to do that because this is the start of something special and we are on the ground floor. So use my code PPOQA5 and tell them my first kick sent you. Because as we start building,
00:21:52
Speaker
your collection, or as we start building our collections on the app, we start building our community on the app. So make sure you put in that promo code and support the pod. But now, back to the episode.
00:22:08
Speaker
But what made y'all want to start, you know?
Starting a Podcast and Consuming Content
00:22:12
Speaker
And just be like, yo. And then also like, we was just like, everything that we talk about, we was kind of just like always talking to each other. So he's like, oh, we might as well just say this shit out loud. We might as well. It was like, we thinking it. I mean, we thinking it and we saying it too. And I like, everybody be coming back to us like, oh, we said the same thing, this, that, and that. I'm like, okay, we should just try this. We might as well just say it out loud at this point, because it was like, ain't no point in just keep
00:22:36
Speaker
keeping them in the message story. We're like, hey, that's for sure. I mean, not everybody should have outside talk. No. Some people can keep that group chat in the group chat. Some people can keep that stuff in the group chat. Some might should be cut off. You know what I'm saying? There's plenty of other things to do like plumbing. We need plumbers. We need electricians. Build a roof. We need electricians.
00:23:02
Speaker
Yeah. Change a tire. We need people to lay the cement. Right? Like, mechanic. No, for real. Every time somebody turn around, someone's wrong with somebody's car, mechanics are needed. Yeah, like, why am I putting my hair in my own tire? Why can't you do it? Yeah. That's crazy. Listen, everybody want to be content creators now, right? Yeah. I mean, yeah. See, and this is the thing, like, I never try to, like, knock nobody's dream. Right, right. Or, like, nobody's goal. Because, like, you know, everybody, essentially, at school, or out here, hustling. No, I knock everybody's goal. I'm just playing. I'm playing. I'm playing.
00:23:31
Speaker
I'm not knocking everybody down. I'll be trying not to, but then sometimes I just be like, what is that? I mean, it's just, it's funny cause like we both, I think we start around the same time, right? Probably. Pandemic.
00:23:45
Speaker
It was posted? 2021? Oh, y'all was 2021? Cause I did 2020. I was November, 2020. I thought it was 2021. Yeah. Okay. And like, I know, I mean, you know, I've been following y'all through the jump. It's funny because now we see all these sneaker podcasts when it was just,
00:24:07
Speaker
A few. It was just literally like three or four. It was just a few. And like no offense. Oh dang, I don't want to... I'm not saying nothing. It's like a lot of them might just be like, okay, cool. I might listen to a clip or two, but I just be like, ah, nice.
00:24:24
Speaker
Great gowns, beautiful gowns, but it's like, it's no shade. It's really no shade. I just, but one, it's like, there's not enough time in the day sometimes for like digest everybody's content. But the thing is, is when you're also doing that content, this is my biggest gripe with it is, and that's why I'm saying don't expect me to listen to your stuff.
00:24:48
Speaker
But it's true, that expectation, I don't expect that. I don't expect y'all to listen to my episodes before y'all jump on here. The Olive branch is there because this is the conversation versus, I don't want anybody to expect that I'ma pull up and then be like, oh yeah, I love episode one through 400. I listen to the podcast, I listen to, but when it's, like I was saying, when it's in the same space,
00:25:14
Speaker
I'm gonna feel like we're gonna be regurgitating the same thing. Like I tend to like listen to like one of my homegirls, she has a podcast and I tend to listen to her podcast the most out of like anybody that I really, really know. And that's because like she talks about something totally different. So it's like, oh yeah, of course. Of course I listen to that because it's like, oh, my homegirl is interviewing like, you know, actors and actresses. I don't listen to like fashion or sneaker podcasts. I listen to like crime podcasts. I don't really listen.
00:25:42
Speaker
And like comedy stuff. I don't really listen to like. Yeah I'm one of those girls. I'm one of those girls. I can't do it. I go to bed to like investigation discovery channel. Yeah like I love a crime junkie series. Yeah I love that. Y'all both be like yo y'all seen snap.
00:25:59
Speaker
I could understand why a lot of them snapped though. Not me. I personally would not snap like that. I see why. I don't want to go to jail. I like my life. I watch first 48 and not first 48. I've never watched like one or two episodes of first 48. You gotta watch the black people on there.
00:26:21
Speaker
It'd be mad interesting, because they don't want to snitch so bad. Yeah, they be sending everyone trying so hard not to sing. They don't know when. Towards the end of the episode, that's when they snitch. I'm like, you had all this time. They hit them with the McDonald's and the... Yeah, like a cup of water or something like that. They get that soda can and they be hungry. They put that Sprite in front of them. It's a wrap. It was juju down the block. Right. It's a wrap.
Reality TV and Sneaker Line Stories
00:26:49
Speaker
60 days in, that's my shit. That's my shit. That used to be funny as hell. Until it started getting a little too low. Until it was like, I read, I read, I read. It got weird. But in the very beginning, it was funny. But yeah, like I could watch like, there's this one show that come on investigation discovery call, is it the, what is it? My evil neighbor or something about my neighbor. And it's really, really good. Like people live like next door to like,
00:27:13
Speaker
Cycles and they don't even like no like this person to wave at them every day like, you know cutting a grass and oh I got your paper and they're like Wow, he killed his person. I like a whole body's in the freezer downstairs. It's like And it's like they held that but or like it's either that or like the neighbor would be like aggressively mean like nobody bothers them They'd be like, you know, like yeah, but then they end up being like a psychopath and it's like God Speaking of psychopaths
00:27:44
Speaker
We had any crazy shit happen on lines when y'all was on lines
00:27:49
Speaker
When y'all made a line? No, not to me, like I've seen people getting fights, but I wasn't involved in fights. Not to you, I'm just saying, have you seen it? Yeah, I've seen it. I've seen dudes getting fights on the line. On the Supreme line. The one time I waited on the Supreme line for Lil' Kim shit, it was madness. You waited for that? I think I got that picture on the line, too. I got it on the line, yeah. Well, I got the number to pull up, so I'm like, all right, I'll just go get it. I had nothing to do. Why would they fight over Lil' Kim?
00:28:19
Speaker
shirt. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I got mine. That was, I got lucky. I got the yellow shirt. I got the yellow shirt too. The one time.
00:28:42
Speaker
I don't know what the resale value is like. I don't know either, but I didn't think it was going to be too crazy. That's why I went. Piss me off on that hat. I got the hat in orange and then I was like, oh, they had the other colors. And when I got the orange one, it's like the Chanel hat came out like this. It came out probably
00:28:58
Speaker
Oh, I know you talk about, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not this season, but like the last one. Yeah, the last one. It was like tattered kind of. Yeah. Oh, that pissed me off. I got the orange one and I was going to go back and get the white and then they had like a grayish one and they were sold out. And then I went on StockX and people were selling them for like $200. And I'm like, yo, this hat is nice.
00:29:16
Speaker
Only reason why I didn't get two on the same day is because I was like, all right, $60, Supreme. I'll tell you why. I don't even know if it's going to keep my head warm at first. I was like, it could just be for show. Sometimes stuff look big and it look warm and comfortable for show. And then you put it on. It's like, wintertime, I really need a hat. You know what I'm saying? I can't just be out here like, you know what I'm saying? If I'm going out and it's not hat required, then I'll brave through it. But every day walking down the street, I need my hat. So I'm like, OK. When I peeped out, it was warm. I was like, oh, man, I'm going to go with them all.
00:29:42
Speaker
They sold them out. I was trying to sell me the hat for $200. I was like, oh, okay. Y'all need to get a job. That's insane. But yeah, I've never gotten to any altercations. I've seen people getting fights at like Footlock Aligns. I remember this was like...
00:29:58
Speaker
obviously before the pandemic, but it was like when the silver bullets that came back out. And I went to 42nd Street champs before they closed that, cause that's closed now, ain't it? It was like 42nd Street champs was me and my bro Sean and my other homie. And we was there and like somebody got into a fight there because like they didn't have a
00:30:17
Speaker
ton of sizes. They had my size though and I got mine. I think two dudes got into a fight over like a size 10 and a half. Oh, that's the size too. That's their size. I don't get it. And that's probably resell it, right? Yeah. It was the dudes with the IKEA bag so it wasn't, you know, as soon as I see that IKEA bag outside, I'd be like, oh, I'm not staying on.
00:30:40
Speaker
The blue joint. Like the backpacking joint. The one with the zipper. Because I got the regular one. And I keep that in my car. Just in case I got extra stuff. And it's like, you know what? Do I want to put everything in one bag? Exactly. Or do I want to keep it blushing?
Laundry Humor and Sneaker Rotation
00:30:56
Speaker
I still use it. I'm about to say, you'd be like, you want to have done a shirt? No, I've got it. But I still use it to carry it from the room to my room. There you go.
00:31:06
Speaker
The bag and I don't finish at least the bag is on my floor now all the clothes. Yeah, you know Let me just for the people that don't understand any in unit is like luxury shit
00:31:23
Speaker
Like when you live in the Triceria and you need this, I'm sure I'm like, I am not leaving my spot. Mine's in the downstairs, which is funny. Mine's is like, I have a laundry room and I have to share it. Whatever. It's funny. I would tell you how this story, cause it's literally happened to me yesterday. So I would, I went and I'd put my laundry in and I'm like, I'm like, all right.
00:31:43
Speaker
930 is like, you know, nah, nah, nah, nah, like 930. I'm looking at the time, I'm looking at the time and I'm like, as long as I could come back, they're not gonna close the door on me. Cause they're supposed to, the last wash is nine, right? The last wash is nine and I put like, this is like, I've been wearing a lot of preem, like I'm literally wearing preem, I have a lot of preem, so I'm thinking like, you know, I gotta make sure I gotta get my shirt. So I'm like, yeah.
00:32:11
Speaker
1030 rolls around, that's when they close the door. And I had to run to the bathroom, so I couldn't come back down. I come back down at 11 o'clock.
00:32:20
Speaker
cut on, door's locked, and I'm like, no. So then I had to wake up at seven this morning to go get my laundry. Everything was still there. I'm like, I would hope so, because ain't nobody do nothing but the person that closed the door unless they took you. It was still wet. It was in the washroom. I made it to the dryer. So I'm thinking like, oh, if they see it's in the dryer, they're going to be like, yeah, he's going to come back. They said no.
00:32:44
Speaker
Cause if it was in the washer, oh man. As long as it was in the dryer, I was like, I cool. I was like, was it in the washer? Cause if it was in the wash, you was definitely going to have to wash again. Wet clothes is not it. I'll leave stuff in the dryer for sure, but I definitely will make sure. I take it out to wash at least. Cause it stink after a while.
00:33:09
Speaker
I mean y'all both got we all three of us have crazy amount of sneakers, but I have not counted I don't know the number but like When do you like when do you rotate them out? Like what do you what is your threshold?
00:33:26
Speaker
I need to do that now because I feel like I'm just picking up the same five, six shoes that are right in front of my face. Even if I'm like, oh, I want to wear this sweater, oh, I want to wear this shirt. And I'd be like, oh, but damn, that shoe is like...
00:33:42
Speaker
17 boxes behind something or like, you know what I'm saying? Like if I take that one out, it's going to have a mount. A mount in the boxes are going to follow me. So like I need to rotate. I do the boxes. Be like Bruce Lee with that. I'd be like, nah, you got it. Because the way I don't stack mine right sometimes, I'll just be putting them back. I'm like, you go just sit right there. I try to stack them as neat as possible, but sometimes it's like I still will like. Yeah.
00:34:05
Speaker
It don't always work out. What I've been doing lately is we getting dressed by the shoes that... By the shoes that are by the door, yeah. Like today, I was like, damn, this kinda goes with it. And I don't feel like getting my union ones. I was like, I'm just gonna put these on. That's just what I've been doing, because I'm just very like... I can't be bothered sometimes. But I get mad, because it's like, ooh, I really wanna put these shoes on. Sometimes I'll think about it. I'll be in the bed, and I'll be like, ooh, I haven't worn these in a minute. I wanna put these on. And I was like, ooh, I just got this new shirt, or I just got this new hoodie or something.
00:34:35
Speaker
And I'd be like, damn, those are far away. And I'd be like, far away. I'm like, y'all gonna sit back there. I don't think I'm gonna get up. Like my lately made sixes, they just sitting there. I'm like, I want to wear y'all, but y'all all the way back there. And the crazy thing, I thought about mine, like mine are actually, I can reach mine. No, mine, I have to get my ladder.
00:34:50
Speaker
I have not put those on in a while. Me neither. There's a few shoes I've looked at. I was like, dang, now you ain't wear these in a minute. I feel like that's like a summer sneaker though, so I've been talking about wanting to get some armor. Yeah. Also, it's just now starting to get nice. Right. So now I got to pull out the... Now you got to pull out the colorful sneakers and stuff like that. I got
Fashion Costs and Inspirations
00:35:09
Speaker
to pace myself. Also, I don't know what's going on. I need to hit the lotto or something. I need to hit a parlay or something.
00:35:14
Speaker
Getting fly is expensive now. Tell me, let me hit a parlay. I've been 0 for 0. Not 0 for like 100 actually. That's crazy. I think I've only hit like three parlays in my entire betting career.
00:35:30
Speaker
See like me, my only thing is like I will hit, but I don't be trying to like dish out mad cash. I get like a little $200 back and like my friends will be betting on it. Like my guy friends will be betting on the same thing and they'll put like $50 down and they'll win like two, three K.
00:35:51
Speaker
Let me just put $10 just in case this don't happen, because then it's like, if I put $50, I don't get my $50 back. God damn. But you know, I'm like, oh, I'll spare $10. I ain't eat lunch out today. I made it at home. I can spare $10. You know what I'm saying?
00:36:07
Speaker
But other than yeah, like I haven't had no like big giant. I think the first time I ever did it was like my birthday, like when they first made it legal to do it in New York. And I remember it was like a Knicks Lakers game. And I think I had like Anthony Davis for like 25 points and something, something, something. And everybody hit and it was like my birthday bash. And I got like, I won like $600 on that. There you go. That's good. And I was like, yeah.
00:36:33
Speaker
like birthday money. And then like after that, like I don't, but again, like I don't bet a lot. Like I haven't bet in months like this weekend or like the playoffs came back. Like this week was like the first time like I bet in like seven, eight months. Cause it's just like, I don't like losing money. I haven't bet in a minute. I don't do it.
00:36:51
Speaker
But I gave Trey, Black Trey, I don't know if y'all know Trayvon. I gave him pics and he hate me after that. He was like, former guest Trayvon, sorry. He was like, never again. Cause he, I told him, this was the first game, the next game. And he was just like, he was like, yo, you think, he asked me, he was like, yo, you think Josh Hart gonna get a double double? And I was like, no, that man Josh Hart went crazy.
00:37:18
Speaker
in that first game. Yeah, no, like I could, I waited until like playoff season. Cause I feel like everybody was mad this season, like the regular season. Like I didn't see like any, everybody was pissed like at every single parlay they was putting up. So I was like, ah, if I'm gonna go back, I'll wait till the playoffs. Cause I feel like it's a little more like,
00:37:35
Speaker
You could count on people to do what they supposed to do. Whereas in the regular season, some people just be like, screw it. I am about to get no 10 boards tonight. Even though I'm seven feet, I'ma just let the ball go over my head. You know what I mean? But in the playoffs, it's like, you either do it or you go home. So it's a better chance at like, okay, yeah, Bam might really get 10 boards. You know what I'm saying? Because he don't have no other option.
00:38:02
Speaker
I have another question, and I've always been curious about this, because, you know, Michaela always goes viral for fashion, but, but like, what do you guys learn? Where do y'all get your inspiration from? Just like y'all styles. Just in general and, oh, laziness. No way. No, I'm not joking. I'm not joking. You'd be throwing up some fits. What are you talking about?
00:38:31
Speaker
Cause it's really just me being like, I like to be comfortable all the time, so I don't really put that much thought into it. Y'all don't be, I'm not even gonna tell y'all what I be doing. I literally, so I'm talking, I be wearing the same shit all the time, but y'all can never tell. Yeah, I be wearing the same shit all the time. Yeah, I don't know how to describe it. I'm like, yo, I don't really feel like getting dressed. But I guess nobody, like. Nobody really pays attention to that much. No, I'm not talking about like, nobody paying attention to, I'm saying like, there's nobody like, even if you, every day, say it's out of laziness, like there's nobody that you be like, ooh, like I love this sound, like this is what I achieve to be texting.
00:39:04
Speaker
I need to recreate that picture with the metallic fives and the Birkin at some point in my life. Solange, I fuck with. But this is totally opposite of my budget. So this is what I'm saying. It's kind of hard. I want to be like them when I grow up, but I don't have the budget right now. Tiana Taylor, I fuck with that a lot. I want to be Tiana Taylor when I grow up. Me too. I think I wanted to be Tiana Taylor when I grew up since I was...
00:39:26
Speaker
We only like two years apart in age or like a year and a half apart ism, she like that. But I want to be Tiana Taylor when I grow. Even from like her NERD days. Sweet 16 days, stuff like that. Who else do I remember? I remember she had that, what was it? She had the billionaire boys club jeans on and the rugby. Everybody was like, oh, what kind of style? I'm like, no, that's fucking fire. What are you talking about? That's when she had the curly fucking hair.
00:39:52
Speaker
the hat and stuff like that. Yeah, and I'm like, nah, that outfit is fire to understand what y'all talking about. I think that was like... I was like, peak. Because I mean, I had always been... Well, I say because of basketball, people was like, oh yeah, you like sneakers and you like to wear sweatpants and sweatsuits because you play basketball. And it was like, yeah, but I also like, it's cute, it's comfortable. And it's like, I could still be...
00:40:15
Speaker
I don't know, like me, you know what I'm saying? Like I could still give girly, but comfortable, you know? So it was like when she started like stepping out and doing her thing for real, I was like, wow, like finally somebody gets it. And it's like, well at that time, they was calling her everything but a child of God. And you know, like it wasn't until like what,
00:40:39
Speaker
Honestly, like six, seven years ago, that they was like, oh, she's a bad bitch, right? And it's like, duh, like, what do you think is under all the sweatpants, girly sweatpants? No, no, nothing? Like, what do you think, what do we stick for you? I mean, if our sweatpants, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, don't let the baggy clothes fool you. Yeah, so it's comfortable. Yeah, so. And that's just me. I don't know about you. But yeah, for sure, Tiana, and I would say Tracy, just because I feel like Tracy gives the
00:41:05
Speaker
The essence of, not that Tiana don't give the essence of both, but Tracy gives a different level of it. Like I said, the metallic files in the Birkin is crazy. I think about that picture, that picture's embedded in my head. I think about it often. It was one of my first Tumblr reposts. And I think about that shit often. Because it was just so simple, shot on a black blazer. I think it's maybe a Metallica shirt or something like that.
00:41:35
Speaker
Blue jeans, it was probably some fancy jeans I couldn't tell from the front. And metallic fives and a black Birkin, it was just like, yo. I think I want to be like, you when I grow up. Yeah. Because like, everybody, every other woman would say, oh, you Birkin, you got away with this? No, you don't. And it was like, Tracee Ellis was stepped outside in jeans and fucking metallic fives in a Birkin. Right, exactly. Don't ever tell me I can't show up nowhere in my goddamn sneakers. That's about the right thing. Yeah, but for sure, like those two, I want to say like, honestly,
00:42:04
Speaker
Like, my older cousins, when I was younger, they was fly as hell. Like, I mean, they still fly, but like, now it's like, I'm fly. I get inspired by people off the street, too, though. Not like how I used to, though, because everything's been weird lately. Yeah, everybody's too much. It's too much going on. Everybody just went anything. I blame Wisdom for that.
00:42:22
Speaker
Who? Wisdom. Is the black dude that he always put on these crazy outfits? I'm playing the internet. I like him though. I'm playing the internet. No, him himself is just, I'm saying. Him going out. The influence. Because he'll be like, oh, I'm going to go out. And then he's like, they'll be like, oh, put together a fit that looks like, I don't know.
00:42:44
Speaker
Naruto for $500,000 and then you put it together.
Impact of Internet Trends on Style
00:42:48
Speaker
I like his content. I'm really trying to think. I think it's the TikTok people. I hate to say that because I love using TikTok. I don't want to get ready. I don't want to get ready. I think it's a lot of those people that moved here, too. Because you used to be able to go there. You could tell where people were from. We talk about this all the time on our show, regional fashion. I tweet it almost every week. I talk about it on the pod. I will scream it from the Empire State Building if they let me.
00:43:12
Speaker
Regional fashion is a missed art. You got people, I saw this video the other day on TikTok, and the guy was like, oh, what's something about New York style that you can't stand? He was like, Timbs. Timbs. I'm like, but you have on a Yankee. Right, that should make no sense to me. A varsity jacket. Yeah, yeah.
00:43:29
Speaker
Cut it out. You know what I'm saying? You're just trying to sound different. You from Dallas. Shut up. No offense. And the crazy thing is, his outfit was trash, but the Timbs would have made it better. Yeah. I'm like, to be honest, and that's what I was like, in my head, I was like, if you would have threw Timbs on this fit, it might have actually looked better. I probably wouldn't say something to you. Like, hey, you look cute. I think it's like the mix of everybody trying to be so different. Right. And it's like, you always had people that had like, everybody had their own style. But it's different, same.
00:43:55
Speaker
Yeah. That's the problem. Yeah. So we don't get regional fashion because of that. Because of the internet. Because everybody's like, oh, I got to have on my, you know, or it'd be like the internet says if visas are in, so now everybody's rocking the visas. Yeah. And it's like, I remember a time where people would be like, what are those you got on? You know what I'm saying? So it's like. I lived in Jersey, so I used to get made fun of everything.
00:44:17
Speaker
Yeah, I even remember the smallest. I remember Crocs, bro. I wore Crocs to school and high school once. My friend was like, you're not a nurse. And I was like, they not just nursing shoes. I'm like, they comfortable little shoes. I'm like, I got a basketball game today. I'm not going to wear my sneakers. And I don't, yeah, we don't wear slides. So I'm going to wear my little Crocs then, man. And they was like, no. And now everybody?
00:44:41
Speaker
Crocs. Everywhere you go. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Crocs. Cro
00:44:58
Speaker
Yeah, okay. I'll give you that. I'm really trying to think. I'm talking about like the aesthetic of like, there's a 50-50 chance that this person's feet smell. And if you look at somebody wearing Birkenstocks.
00:45:15
Speaker
It's like you don't know if they wash them the half wash like if you if you if you look at burger somebody puts in the soonest they put their feet in a pair of Birkenstocks instead 150 degrees feet right there But I let people rock because I remember that was a big thing too and I was like oh
00:45:32
Speaker
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, if y'all like it, I love it. I mean, y'all look, if anybody's happy wearing whatever they want, I'm always 100%. But that's another thing I just feel like I always loved about shoes. It's like, yo, what's for you is for you. Nice to meet you. There's 1,000 different silhouettes just from one brand alone. Exactly. And I'll be in the weirdest shit most of the time. Y'all know I'll be liking them weird ass shoes. Yeah, I remember when you rocked those Martine Rose and nobody fucked with them. People came, and then the look at y'all. The comments was jokes.
00:46:01
Speaker
I'm an asshole, somebody said you was like, something for the Haitians? I said, I know, that was funny. He got that one. I said, you know, I died. I said, you know what, you got that. But I went off with some people. I was bored. I had time that day. I don't think that there's something for everybody. The other thing is, I'm not afraid to wear shit. That's me.
00:46:19
Speaker
Only thing I really would clown you for is them Fela disruptors. And the fake Prada Felas. The Prada Felas? Yeah, the fake Prada Felas is nasty. I was never a fan of Pradas. I don't know. I'll let you have it for now, but as long as you have them Fela ones, it's okay. No, but I'm just saying, it was only because it was during the time where it was either you rocked Pradas or you rocked them Diesel shoes. And it was like,
00:46:47
Speaker
Oh yeah, I had a pair of diesels for school. Those were my school shoes. That's so funny. I had a breakfast. That's a throwback. I definitely had a pair of diesels. That was a funny toe too. It was like a square toe. Yeah, the square joints. Oh man. But we're going down towards the end of the podcast. I don't know. I said we're going down.
00:47:04
Speaker
We're going. We're going down, down, down. But I want y'all both, whoever can go first, but I want y'all to visualize when y'all was about to open that box, you for the Cherry 11 Lows and Mikayla for the Chicago 10s.
00:47:21
Speaker
I'm here, I'm here. But I want you all to think about your younger self and now you're you behind your younger self as they're about to open that box. What would you tell your younger self? Wow.
00:47:40
Speaker
this shoe will kinda change your life. Eventually, this shoe and what, it's just a shoe to some people, but this shoe and how you feel about it will eventually change the course of your life.
00:47:58
Speaker
even like, yeah, like, cause I feel like at that time I really wanted to play sports. Like, and I wanted to play basketball. I wanted to figure skate really, really bad. So I was just like, Oh yeah. Like I'll always be like connected to shoes in some way, shape or form. And then you got the figure skate.
00:48:15
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Part two for part two. Actually just coaching like three years ago. But yeah, so like, yeah, I would I thought like basketball would be my way around shoes and instead like shoes already are my way around basketball. So yeah.
00:48:36
Speaker
Well, that was deep. It's not deep. Well, that was deep. It's not deep. Yes, it was. What the fuck? Now I gotta come up with something. No, it wasn't even deep. I would say that looking at these fair shoes, who would have thought you would be here right now? For real, mind you, this is not the direction I was going into. I knew I wanted to be in fashion, but not in this capacity. I felt like the only way you were able to be in fashion was like a designer or a buyer.
00:49:06
Speaker
No, there's other outlets. You was gonna be regime? Oh, come on. The crazy thing is I wasn't even gonna pursue fashion to begin with. I was gonna go into criminal justice. Wow. Or graphic design, right? Graphic design, I can see it. Graphic design, yeah. You and criminal justice? What was you gonna do? I was gonna get into law and stuff.
00:49:23
Speaker
Law and stuff. And stuff. I wanted to be Olivia Benson. So bad. Damn. You little Olivia Benson? But once I saw you, I had to run a lot. Yeah, I was going to say sister. I'm not doing that. And that's too much for him to go through it. You know that costume. That uniform is like 30 pounds. Yeah, that's too much. So I had to run with extra 30 pounds. We had to reevaluate my life. I was like, this ain't it. But you was going to be a?
00:49:46
Speaker
I wanted to be a detective. You got to start out at the thing first, right? I know. I know. That's how I feel. Yeah, that's how I feel. Yeah, that's how I feel. Once I went down the rabbit hole, I was like, absolutely fucked with that. For a second, I thought you meant like lawyer. No, she wanted to be Olivia Benson. Captain Olivia Benson. Don't play with Olivia Benson. They would not know about that. Don't play with Olivia Benson. But she be going through too much shit, so I'm glad I didn't do that. And then I thought about like, you know what? I don't want to run. Let me go into law. I was like, I don't want to read no more.
00:50:12
Speaker
Too much reading, but then I started taking fashion law classes in school too. I was going to say, I think when you narrow it down to different things, then it gets way more interesting. That was interesting, but still- Or specific things. Yeah, that's kind of harder to get into, and I still probably would have been in school if I would have done that. So I was like, nah, so I guess my shoes took me into a different path I never thought I would be in.
00:50:35
Speaker
Like literally never thought, I never thought one pair of shoes would get me into the spot that I'm in now. And now it was like a good 10, 12 years ago. Bam. Perfectly said both of y'all.
