- What's up, y'all?

Welcome to the closet.
♪ Go, go, go ♪
The lion's den.
♪ Go, go, go ♪
Welcome to my closet amongst closets.
This the B sides, okay, this ain't even the single.
I got 'em all. I have another closet.
Mermaids. The Lockless monster.
The Bermuda Triangle. Unicorns.
Stuff that you only might have heard of,
if you're sneaker head, that exists but you never seen it.
Not a picture, not the sneaker.
I have a whole other closet of those.
I'll tell you about the time they made
"Ballers" a TV show on HBO.
Mark Wahlberg had it done.
So the guy was supposed to get drafted to the Miami Dolphins
so that they made him a sneaker,
but they scratched that episode.
But thank God they made the sneaker
and look whose hands it got in.
Please, don't play with me.
This is like a full time job for me.
Every single day I buy five, 10 pair of sneakers.
I got a big addiction.
I got a very big addiction.
These the (indistinct).
One of one, nobody got these.
These are legendary.
These, they made these Jordan Ones
for the designers of Jordan.
I mean, we'll get crazy.
You know the Kobe wave.
Somebody actually, I always tell this story,
got fired for making this Kobe-Jordan collab ahead of time.
This sneaker is like one of my holy grails.
Sneaker collectors are hunters.
And so some of them we pay retail,
some of them we pay a ton of money for.
Dream Big Earl.
Look at that.
These the golfers.
These young black brothers, they on fire out there,
they got their own apparel,
and Jordan actually let them,
this is the first time
I seen somebody change their logo like that.
These are all suede.
One's, dumb. These are like ridiculous.
And so this to me, this like a museum.
We do anything.
We beg.
We do whatever we can to get our hands on these sneakers.
I'm famous for going to sneaker stores around the world
and just putting a wad of cash on the counter,
have the old man and the old lady look at me like I'm crazy
and I tell 'em, "Let me go through the basement."
And I go in the basement and pull out vintage sneakers.
To them it's garbage, but to me it's,
it's that firepower.
So we do everything for sneakers.
You see all these right here. You need to film these.
These are all Air Force One Terror Squad collabs.
These right here actually have my face with the prayer.
These are actually Michael Jordan's personal.
Don't ask me how I got these. Personal.
Infamous story, I remember one time I almost got stuck up.
I met somebody at like a sneaker con
and he said he had more fire power.
I went to go see him,
and the car just jumps out, it's three guys with guns.
And I said, "Damn, this set me up," right.
But when they jump up, they see me,
they like, "Oh shit, Crack,
"We ain't know, we was looking for somebody."
All right, cool.
They jump back in the car, skirted off.
Right here,
vintage Terror Squad PE Jordan's.
Obviously in Knick Colors. I'm a Knick fan.
You made me think of the Air Ship.
So believe it or not,
before there was a Jordan One, there were the Air Ship.
This is the first sneaker
Michael Jordan never wore to the game.
And
these are holy grails
because this is where it all started from.
And if you ain't noticed by now, I'm a big Jordan collector.
This right here is, this is dumb.
This is a Kobe Bryant Denim Air Force One.
(Fat Joe sighs)
I have multiple sneaker closets, multiple.
Upstairs I got another one.
In my crib in Miami I got another one.
I don't do custom,
but when I do custom I really rock with the Shoe Surgeon.
See his logo.
And he made this all out of Louis Vuitton fabric.
He's sick, and I don't do no other custom.
The only custom I do is the Shoe Surgeon,
I got a bunch of shoes of his.
This right here was made by a African designer out there,
he's from Senegal, but is out there in Paris.
This is the most slept on sneaker of the year.
I got the jacket that he made to it,
it's a leather made from the brother from Senegal.
But I really, really love this sneaker.
This is one of my favorite for the year.
You see me, I grew up dirt poor, I didn't have nothing.
And all I ever cared about was being fly, being fresh.
And I loved that whenever I try to put an outfit together
I always got something to go with it.
And so sometimes I buy stuff
that I normally wouldn't even wear.
But one day, when I need that same color scheme,
it's gon pop up and it's gon be fly.
I can't show you everything.
These are, my brother DJ Khaled, this is a looksie,
you'll never get your hands on these.
This a looksie.
And so Khaled was like, "What color you want with this?"
I said, "I want the ones that's never coming out."
You know what I'm saying, and so these are crazy.
And actually,
when they make samples they usually make 'em size nine.
But being that it's Khaled's personal,
they made a size 11, I'm a size 12.
So I take out the insole to the sneakers
and that way I fit it, it's like a 12.
That's a trick for y'all.
This was made for all the Team Jordan players
that actually play baseball.
This is a special canvas.
This is ridiculous, guys.
I'm showing you dumb stuff.
And like I said, this the B sides.
I got 'em all.
I got every sneaker I ever wanted.
I'm sure there's more out there I haven't seen,
but every sneaker I wanted I have.
Tinkers are one of the greatest designers.
I gotta show you something, hold up, hold up, hold up.
I gotta show you something, right.
Look at these right here.
How sick these are.
I'm actually wearing these to the BET Hip Hop Awards,
I'm actually gonna do it.
All right, everybody.
BET Hip Hop Awards will never be the same.
Thank you for coming in my closet, but y'all gotta go,
and this been "Kicking It with Fat Joe".
But it's time for you to go.
