From one GOAT to the next,
this is Colorways & Toeboxes, Unboxed.
(trap music)
Everybody, what's good?
I'm Mouse Jones and beside me,
is my very fly co-host, also by the name of
- Wuzgood.
- Hey!
And of course there would not be Colorways Unboxed
without our resident sneaker plug, KS,
Jersey City's finest.
Wassup?
- What's good, man?
- Now listen, I'm feelin' jealous.
Every time an episode goes up,
3,000 people from Jersey City
get under the post and just tag you.
Tell them that we were there too, okay?
We--
- If it wasn't for Mouse and Wuzgood,
I wouldn't even survive up here, so.
- That sounds good, but-- - [KS] 'Ppreciate ya'll.
- Tag us!
Tag us!
We were there.
Now, this is it.
This is our last show, until we go live.
- [KS] LA, man. - You comin'?
- No. - You comin'?
- BET Experience - You not comin'?
- No. - I got my passport,
so I could go.
- Oh my god.
- Wuzgood, you really not comin'?
- No, I'm gonna go.
(laughing)
- I know I keep tellin' ya'll this,
but next week, next week, not this week,
not last week, but next week,
we'll be in LA at the BET Experience Fan Fast
June 21st.
So, go download the BETX '19 app
to get your wristbands for entry,
and just know, it is the biggest weekend
in black entertainment and sneaker culture.
So, you a goofy if you miss it.
So, it is time for my favorite part of the show.
Get this out the way early.
You know what time it is.
Cold as hell in here,
but we 'bout to heat it up
'cause time for the heat check.
KS, what you got on your feet?
- [KS] 2019 release All-star Weekend Social Status 6's.
(Mouse exhales)
Crazy, crazy, I told ya'll before,
I love, how I feel about 6's
is how you feel about Jordan 1's, so.
- Yeah, yeah. - You know what I mean?
Even the wackest colorwave I grab,
but these was like real special to me.
Man, I traveled all the way to Charlotte,
didn't get my hands on them personally,
but my man, Crack, was able to grab them for me, so.
- Shout out to them.
- Look, shout out to the other plug.
- Shout out to the other plug.
- See like we said last episode.
They all come together for a reason.
- Word.
- You un-ds 'em just for color?
- [KS] Just today. - Ooo.
- Wow.
- Look at us out here.
Look at out here.
You can still lick the bottom if ya'll want.
Not us.
Now, this I like.
Now, goin' back to last season,
we had a debate over what is a dad shoe
and what isn't.
This almost a dad shoe.
- You like these?
- [Mouse] I like these.
- I am so proud of you.
- Thank you, what are these?
- The Nike P-6000.
This is honestly one of my favorite releases this year.
- [Mouse] Now, how comfortable is that?
It looks very comfortable.
- It's so comfortable,
very, very comfortable. I love the colorway on them.
- They remind me of the Vomeros a little bit.
They remind me of the Nike Vomeros.
- Oh the Vomeros, yes.
- [Mouse] I mean obviously not the Cold War,
just the regular one without the back.
- Ironically, the colorwave on the sneakers is
gonna be real dope when we unbox what we unbox.
- Ooo. - It's a combination
of all the colors, man.
- Now, me on the other hand, a little somethin',
now these sneakers on this show alone
are very controversial, why?
Because Wuzgood said last season,
said that these sneakers would be bigger or as big
as the bread--
- I never said bigger, relax.
I never said bigger.
- Can we go to the tape.
Run the tape!
- Oh, you know wassup.
We kept the founds!
- Yeah, we kept 'em.
Now, this is just the Rookie of the Year 1's.
I really enjoy this sneaker.
I got the red laces in 'em.
I think everyone should,
no matter what you're wearin'.
I enjoy the tumble.
I enjoy the tumble leather right here on the heal
and on the, all throughout the sneaker, honestly,
up against that nubuck.
It's like havin' a little Timberland a little bit.
You know, shout out to New York.
- I don't like that.
- Nah, I love this sneaker.
Then, you know, got the little--
- The message inside.
- that little message on the inside.
(computer beeping)
But, we got good feet all around,
so I'm excited about this unboxin'.
It's an original, like me.
A one of one, like Wuzgood.
I don't wanna spoil it.
KS, tell us whatcha got.
- Yo, so today, we gonna be unboxin'
a strictly one of one.
This is the only, only pair in the world
made personal one of one sneaker
that I actually purchased during an auction
at a charity event.
Every dollar that I purchased on this sneaker
went to the Boys and Girls Club of Jersey City.
The quality on this sneaker alone for the Lebron,
very dope.
The material, I forgot the name, the exact name
of this type of material.
- [Mouse] I think it's like neophyte or something like that.
- [KS] I'm not sure. - [Mouse] I could be wrong.
- [KS] I don't wanna lie to the trollers.
- [Mouse] Don't lie to the community.
- [KS] To the trollers (laughs).
- [Mouse] 'Cause you know they will, you know.
- But uh, also, Nike, after this,
I'm not gonna say after, let say within the same time,
Nike tried to mimic this sneaker
and they fell tremendously.
It didn't come out the way that these came out.
- What sneaker?
- It was the Lebron. - The Lebron 15.
- [Mouse] It was the Lebron 15.
- [Wuzgood] They tried to--
- [Mouse] Nike tried to-- - [KS] They dropped a version.
They had the old version of this.
- What do you mean, "They tried to?"
- Well, well,
- Well, they dropped it.
- [Wuzgood] They dropped it.
- But it didn't look as good as this.
- It didn't hit as well as Mache made it hit.
- When did this happen?
- [Mouse And KS] Last year 2018.
- Wasn't there for it.
- Oh, wow, ooo, excuse me, whoa.
- Do you even care for basketball sneakers?
- I'm not a big Lebron sneaker person, no.
- I'm not a fan of this style,
but it was more so, I'm gonna be honest with you,
it was less about,
'cause if it was about a flip,
if it was about the money,
I woulda sold the same day for $3,500,
made 25 in profit and went about my business.
It was more about donatin' to a charity.
- [Mouse] A charity, of course.
- [KS] So, shout out to Mache
for actually donating a sneaker.
Shout out to Sneaker Room for actually havin' the event.
- Shout out to Suraj over there at Sneaker Room.
Good people over there, good people.
- It was actually doin' very well.
I'm usually not a fan of hybrids, so to say.
I mean,
what?
This was a conversation last season.
Yes it was.
Rewind it to May's.
- And this was you--
- No, but I'm saying--
- [Mouse] supporting the shoe surgent?
- Right, right, right, right,
but, no, I'm saying, as far as mixing,
'cause I thought, when I first heard of this shoe,
I thought it was gonna be trying to mash up a 95--
- [Mouse] Oh, like having natural fabric pieces
from a 95, okay. - Yeah, that's why I was like,
"What the hell?",
but to see just the colorway put on the silhouette,
it looks good.
- So, you thought it was more of a fusion,
instead of a custom.
- Correct.
- Yeah, at this point, in the sneaker game,
Mache needs no further adoration or celebration from us.
I mean, his work speaks for itself.
A great custom here, a great cause,
and he's been doin' this for years
for celebrities, regular people, every--
- The dope part about Mache work is,
you're only gettin' one of ones.
Now some people try to, "Oh yeah, I want those sneakers
"Mouse have".
"I'll do 'em for you.
"For the right price, I'll do it."
Mache is strictly one of one.
- I love that. - You see it, that's it.
That's the only person that owns it.
So, that's real, real dope.
- That's fire. - Shout out to you, Mache.
Mache, why you ain't come talk to us? Huh, Mache?
You too good for us, huh?
Mache, we need a Colorways Unboxed sneaker.
Make that happen.
- That'd be dope. - That's a thought.
- Yeah, make that happen Mache, all right?
All in all this is a great cause.
You can put this up in the crib. Nice little artwork.
- Yeah, like you mentioned, - Like the shoe surgent,
right?
- [Wuzgood] Yeah, no, but no.
- What, it's not artwork?
- I, okay.
- So now this can't be artwork?
- Okay, it's--
- You can't display a
- It's arguable. - one of one as--
- Yeah, you're right, you're right.
You're right.
- She don't like nothing.
- I just, no, it's just, it's just different.
It's just different.
- It's just different.
All right, well, you can't get these.
'Cause I was about to ask 'em where you can get these--
- Not for sale.
- This is fire.
- So, now we done took a look
at a Mache one of one custom,
but now it's time to open the vault.
Flash it back.
Let's see what we got, KS.
- So today we're bringing out Metallic Gold 97s.
Classic. - [Mouse] Beautiful shoe.
- Classic,
and then to me what I will call a fumble by Nike,
by duplicating the Silver Bullet 97s.
I say fumble because we're so used to that red Nike check
on the 97s, that not having it makes it look like
a bootleg version.
- [Wuzgood] It does. - [Mouse] Yeah,
look like you got them from Muhammad, innit?
(laughing) Yeah.
- [KS] The original sneaker heads didn't go for these.
You know I mean?
This was actually a sneaker though that was worth buying
if you asked me if you couldn't get your hands
on a Silver Bullet.
- That's a dad shoe.
- That's disrespectful. - [Mouse] No, no.
I mean it in a different way.
- Why would you call this a dad shoe?
Not in the same way that
these are dad shoes. - No, I know, I know, I know.
- That's a dad shoe in a way like your dad
will be in the store, he'll be like, "Oh, I like those."
"Yeah gimme those, gimme those in a 12."
- "Gimme the sneakers my son got."
- Yeah, he'll come in after like, "Loo, look what I got."
I don't know what those are dad.
You got beat.
- The dope part about this Silver sneaker,
the whole sneaker reflects.
It's a reflective 97, premium.
So, the whole sneaker, aside from on the Gold Metallics,
where only the upper reflects,
this whole sneaker actually reflects.
- The whole thing throughout.
Which means, don't take a picture in those.
- Word, word, word.
You'll be aggravated.
But, my opinion, nothing like the Gold 97's.
Classics.
- [Mouse] Favorite pair of 97s right there.
- [Wuzgood] Do you like these better than the Silver Bullet?
- Yes.
Gold, I bought two pair of those.
Like I had to.
- I bought two pairs of the Silver Bullet.
- [Mouse] I got one pair of the Silver Bullet.
- Do you own a gold one's?
- Yeah, but I only have one pair.
- Yeah, this is a terrible shoe,
but it's not a bad shoe.
It's a terrible shoe. - No, it's ugly.
- I mean, essentially it's a Silver Bullet.
Those red accents do change up the entire thing.
Just to note, if the Silver Bullet didn't exist,
this would be acceptable.
- That would be the Silver Bullet.
- Yeah, this is bad though.
There's no need for this when you--
- You can't have the Silver Bullet and do that.
You can't do that. - I agree.
- There's Marvel and there's DC.
This is DC.
- [KS] That's DC. - This is DC.
- What would you consider the worst purchase
you've ever made on a sneaker?
Like hands down, the worst.
- Nike Hyperadapt Earl's.
Those are the original self-lacing sneakers.
I got a pair literally just because--
- They self-laced? - Yeah,
I was like, "Oh, self-lacing!?"
"Need these."
I remember I was working,
actually I forgot where I was working,
but I had 'em brought to the office
and immediately was like, "Why did I get these?"
So now, I have to wear them every couple months
just to get my
money's worth. - Get your money's worth.
(laughing)
- Wuzgood, how 'bout you?
- Damn, this is hard.
- Just tell me worst though.
- So many bad.
- [KS] Like, the worst.
- Um, I don't know, this is hard 'cause I literally,
I feel like I genuinely rotate everything
that I've actually purchased,
but maybe my most unnecessary one,
I had purchased a pair--
- [Mouse] Mars (mumbles).
- [Wuzgood] Huh?
- [Mouse] Mars Yard (mumbles).
- Are you dead ass?
- No, I'm sorry, my bad.
Tom Sachs, huh?
- First of all, anyway.
So, I had purchased a pair,
I don't even know what the actual colorway would be called,
but they were pink 97s with that purple bottom.
- [Mouse] I know exactly which one you're talking about.
- But I already had the Snakeskin Pink 97s
with the white bottoms.
So, that was just like really unnecessary,
and I wore those probably once.
- What about you, KS?
- A pair of Jordan Mids 1's,
when I didn't know the value of--
- [Mouse] Of the highs? - Jordan 1's.
- He immediately looks down--
- I got the $110 pair of Jordan 1's or something like that.
- Listen, we all made our mistakes.
(laughing)
Unless you got the yellow and black pair,
I keep telling people the yellow and black pair
is acceptable because the yellow and black is the only one--
- Can I say somethin' about that pair?
That's the most money I've ever made off of a sneaker--
- [Mouse] The yellow and blacks?
- In my history of selling sneakers.
- How much you get the yellow on blacks off for?
- 'Cause at the time I was selling Jordans
for 220, 230 min,
and didn't realize box price was only like $120 for mid.
Kid box price was only like $90,
and I'm selling those for $180.
So the flip was $100 a pop on every sneaker,
and I had to sell at least like
60, 70 pairs of those sneakers.
- Yeah, those black and yellows--
- So I don't mean the most money made in selling sneakers,
but off of one actual sneaker--
- That was the biggest flip.
- Never had a bigger payday than that, man.
- Yeah, those black and yellows--
- Shout out to those mids.
- The black and yellow shook up the game.
Yeah.
Well, Nike don't do this again.
- Fumble. - Yeah, I'm upset
this is on our set.
Throw it. - Big fumble, big fumble.
- Throw it away (laughs).
- Sick of this.
Get this crap outta here.
Get this outta here.
Don't need to see that crap.
So, we opened up with a J-ball,
saw a Lebron, Nike, Mache collab,
pulled out the Air Max Silver Bullet-ish.
All in all, this was a good episode,
but if you missed anything,
you could re-watch it here,
right here on BET's YouTube channel,
or catch us live in LA.
Why, why, why?
- Why?
- BET Experience, man.
- We gonna be live at the BET Experience, June 21st,
and I already told you how to get to us,
but I'm gonna tell you again
'cause I care so much about y'all.
Get the BETX '19 app on your phone,
wherever you get your apps from.
Get it, that's how you get your wristband.
That's how you get to see KS.
That's how you get to see Wuzgood.
That's how you get to see me,
but as usual, I've been Mouse Jones.
- I'm Wuzgood.
- I'm KS.
- And this has been Colorways Unboxed.
Peace!
