- I talked to the guys that make this,
they will never make anymore of these shoes,
they're done at eight.
We refuse to cut these open.
(bandsaw screeching)
(upbeat music)
We have a special delivery today
inside of this box that I've been waiting for
for months and months and months.
- Yeah, for months.
More months.
- Good job, Lincoln.
So these are Air Jordans right here,
these are the Air Jordan Ones.
They're the first Jordans, I think,
that Nike ever made back in the day.
And what's cool is that--
- They're so cool.
- They are cool again.
And people are selling these.
These I think are the North Carolina special edition
that just came out a month or two ago.
- They're so cool.
- They sold out so fast and I bought a pair on eBay
for a lot more money than what they originally cost.
But I think it's worth it
'cause they're not just North Carolina colors.
These are What's Inside colors.
- Oh yeah, they look so cool.
- And so Lincoln's been wanting to wear these
since we've had them for the last few weeks.
But I told him all of his grades have
to be As and Bs for him to do that.
- I, okay--
- And he has not done that yet.
- I am absent a lot.
- No excuses.
But today we have a very, very special pair
that's more special than these.
If you remember back at the Tesla Model Y launch,
I was lucky enough to stand right in front
of Elon Musk as he brought out the Roadster.
He brought out the Model X,
the Model S, the Model 3,
and then he rolled out the Model Y.
And so all of the cars were there.
Oh, and the semi-truck even came out.
Everything was there.
The craziest thing is he walked out
and he was wearing the coolest Tesla, custom Tesla,
Air Jordan Ones that were black and red with the Tesla logo.
- I actually don't know that much about the car,
I just knew that, that event,
lots of people were talking about the shoes.
And they were really cool.
- That actually ended up being the coolest thing.
Because the Model Y wasn't that much different
than the Model 3,
just has a little bit of a bigger booty but that's it.
Its kinda the same car.
But the shoes, everybody talked about the shoes.
And I think somebody said, "Cool shoes!"
And he's like, "Thanks."
And then he did like this really goofy, little dance.
- [Man In Crowd] I like your shoes!
(laughing) (crowd cheering)
- [Man Filming] Oh, so many memes right now!
- It was pretty funny.
- Yeah.
- So I had to get a pair of those shoes.
And I went onto Instagram and found,
well, where's my phone?
(dial tone humming)
Okay, and we've reached out on Instagram to
dmcustomsneakers
and they were the guys that actually made 'em.
And what was interesting with the story
is that a friend of Elon Musk reached out to
dmcustomsneakers
and said, "I want a unique birthday present for Elon."
And so he took,
I feel like I should just bring the shoes out first.
Let me bring the shoes out and then we'll tell the story.
- I'm so excited.
- I just gotta get these shoes.
We'll tell the story in a minute.
(videotape screeching)
Oh and it came with an SD card
that they wanted to show us what's inside of these shoes.
(videotape screeching)
(rustling)
- Oh yes, yes!
(beeping)
(cheering) (yelling)
- (laughing) Look at 'em!
What is this box?
(tapping)
(laughing)
- Those are so cool!
- These are amazing!
- Oh and by the way, we bought these.
We custom had them made.
There were no special favors.
Other than he took pictures for me of them getting made.
I paid full price for these.
- Those are so cool.
- Yeah, let's get them out of here.
- Oh my!
- (laughs) Oh my gosh, there's a door!
(laughing)
Look!
Hey stop.
- Oh, look at that Tesla logo.
(laughing)
- Are you kidding me right now?
- Look at all the fur, there's like, fur!
- There's actual fur.
- Yeah!
- On this part and on this part.
And then, oh my gosh.
And then it's like some sort of snake skin on it.
And then look at the laces.
These are leather laces.
- Leather laces and then they're like, metal.
- With a metal tip.
- Yeah.
- And then the Tesla logo right here.
- Oh my.
(gentle upbeat music)
Those are so cool!
- Oh my gosh, De Marco, De Marco.
- I'm usually not a fan of red, at all.
- Right, we don't do red, we don't do red.
- No, we don't.
- You can see these brake calipers that say Tesla on them.
I would've wanted them red.
Those look killer!
There's a team that we strongly despise that is red.
- Strongly, very.
- And so we stay away from red as much as we can.
Like, our Tesla Roadster is blue.
When we get the next Tesla Roadster,
it's going to be blue, not red.
All right so there is paper inside of here
that keeps it sturdy and strong right there.
Keeps it in good condition and good shape.
(gentle upbeat music)
And by the way, they told me with Elon's
and then the seven others,
that's only eight in the world.
This is one of eight in the world
and he refuses to make anymore ever.
- And guess who has one of the eight shoes?
Elon Musk!
- And me.
- And us.
- No, me.
- You said I could wear them.
- How's your grades doing?
- That-- mm.
- Hm.
I have something to show you.
Something unique, to prove that these were custom made
and that they are mine.
- [Lincoln] They're ours.
- Or ours.
- Did you put, Dan?
- Dan's shoes, not Lincoln's.
Are you ready for this?
- Did you actually put that in there?
- Here it is.
Check out what is says inside of it.
- Do they actually say Dan's shoes, not Lincoln's.
- Dan's shoes until Lincoln gets straight As.
Which he'll get.
So how do they make these shoes?
They take an actual Air Jordan first edition
and then they deconstruct it.
Let's compare right here.
Check it out.
(upbeat music)
Which one's cooler?
- They're so cool.
- They're both so cool!
- Those are some of the coolest shoes that I've ever seen.
- See, look at the soles on them.
They custom make each one of these.
The Tesla logo, the different skins on here, the fur.
And then they take it
and they put it in and they sew it on.
It's pretty amazing!
I know these are incredibly custom and rare.
But, Lincoln, if you're up for it,
I'll let you wear these to school tomorrow.
- Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
- But not yet these ones.
You know the deal on these ones.
- Yeah.
- Soon!
- Soon.
- Right, As and Bs, it's coming.
This is the most ridiculous shoe
to wear to school, by the way.
- Most ridiculous?
Just look at that, that Tesla logo.
People are going to notice it and they're gonna love it.
- I don't think anybody at your school will know
about the Model Y launch and where these shoes came from.
- Oh yeah, I bet,
I think like one or two people will actually.
- Do you have any enemies at school
that will stomp on your shoe and try to ruin it?
- Yeah, my friend Boston.
- What?
- Yeah, he'll stomp on these shoes.
He will destroy these shoes.
- He better not.
(laughing)
I'm coming after him.
I will break his golf clubs in half on my thigh.
(laughing)
Boston, you watch it buddy.
- Oh yeah, watch out!
- Do not step on these shoes.
- Watch out, Boston.
(upbeat music)
♪ For legal reasons, that's a joke ♪
(dramatic music)
- [Dan] Okay, you look cool.
- Hi.
- [Dan] Are you ready to wear these to school today?
- Mm hm.
(dramatic music)
(cheering)
(dramatic music)
- [Dan] Lincoln, where you goin'?
- [Lincoln] I'm going to school.
- [Dan] I gotta film you going to school.
- [Lincoln] No!
- [Dan] Right?
- [Lincoln] No!
- [Dan] You don't want me going to school with you?
(laughing)
All right, see ya, buddy.
- [Lincoln] Bye!
(dramatic music)
- While Lincoln is at school and before I go pick him up
and potentially cut the shoes open,
I wanted to take a minute to talk
about today's sponsor, which is Audible.
This bush, is in my way, here we go.
(laughing)
For the last few months Lincoln and I have been
on a ton of road trips.
And one of the audio books
that we just finished listening to
is an audio book about Elon Musk.
He talks about Tesla, Space X,
and his quest to just like, save humanity.
It's written by Ashlee Vance and it's a really good insight
into the entire life of Elon Musk.

Thanks, Audible, for sponsoring this video.
Let's go get Lincoln out of school.
(dramatic music)
- What is it?
(door clanging)
What is it, I was in my class.
- [Dan] Come here, I need to talk to you real quick.
- I was in my favorite class.
- [Dan] Your favorite class?
Okay, we'll be quick, we'll be quick.
- Yeah, in History.
- [Dan] Just for a second.
(dramatic music)
- Oh, people love them.
- [Dan] What's the reaction been to the shoes?
- It's either I've had like three people
that were like, "Ew, what are those shoes?"
I had like 10 people around me
that like I know they love shoes
and they were freaking out.
- [Dan] Did they touch them and stuff?
- Yeah, they were like touching them and, yeah.
- [Dan] Did Boston stomp on them?
- No, he didn't, he got checked out!
- [Dan] What?
- Yeah.
- [Dan] Did he see 'em then?
- Yeah.
- [Dan] What did he say?
- He was like, "Whoa, those are awesome!"
- [Dan] You would wear them again?
- Yeah, I would wear these again, of course.
(dramatic music)
- Okay, there's the update from Lincoln.
- Yep.
(laughing)
Thanks, I'm gonna go now.
- [Dan] Enjoy your donut!
- [Lincoln] Thanks!
- [Dan] Good luck in class.
- [Lincoln] Thank you!
- [Dan] Bye.
(gentle upbeat music)
- [Lincoln] I can't even do the first one.
- We filmed this entire video, Lincoln wore them to school,
we told you how much we loved them,
and that why would we cut them open?
And I can't help but think,
what would become of us if we didn't cut these in half?
Like, this is what we do, we cut stuff in half.
- But they're so cool.
- But this is what we do!
- But look at them, look at them.
(upbeat dramatic music)
- I think we need to cut 'em in half.
(upbeat dramatic music)
Let's do it.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
- [Dan] All right, so here's what the shoes look like
without the laces on them.
They are still some good looking shoes.
(machinery whirring)
Are you sure you want to do this, Lincoln?
- [Lincoln] No!
- [Dan] It's happening, it's gonna grab it.
(machinery whirring)
Oh, it's happening.
(machinery whirring)
(yelling)
- Why have we done this?
- [Dan] (laughing) Why did you do this, Lincoln?
Lincoln, pull 'em out, let's check 'em out.
- Oh no.
They do have the air pockets!
- [Dan] Oh, the Jordans.
- [Lincoln] This is really cool.
- [Dan] That's right they did have air.
- Yeah, 'cause Tinker designed them.
- [Dan] No, but this was be, no, Tinker designed the bubble.
You can actually see the air bubble in it.
So these are the Air Jordans from back in the day.
- [Lincoln] Oh, it's so sad.
- [Dan] One of eight in the world.
So here's the ones that aren't cut.
They're beautiful, they look nice.
And here's the one that is cut and they still are beautiful.
But now you can see the cross section of what it looks like.
They are the Air Jordans.
You can see these were custom made,
What's Inside, edition one.
- [Lincoln] So, I've never really wondered this,
but I just thought, what if you laced them back up together?
You could still probably walk around in them, right?
- [Dan] I mean your feet would fall
out the bottom sometimes.
I feel like we should give this away.
- What, what?
- [Dan] The half of it, just half of it.
- Yeah, that'd a cool giveaway.
- [Dan] Okay, if somebody wants this half of this shoe.
- The link is in the description.
(laughing)
- [Dan] If you'd like it,
make sure you're following What's Inside
and linkpie on Instagram.
- Oh and linkpie.
- [Dan] And we will have the details on there.
Lincoln's Instagram is linkpie and,
dmcustomsneakers,
if you wanna make a right shoe for us,
just the right shoe,
feel free to make it and send it our way.
But I'm pretty sure you're done making these forever.
And there's only eight pairs.
Elon Musk custom shoes, super awesome shoes.
And we cut 'em in half because that's what we do, so.
- Which is kinda sad sometimes.
Especially with really, really extremely cool shoes,
like this.
- [Dan] It had to be done.
(gentle upbeat music)
Here you go.
- Oh my gosh!
- [Dan] They are destroyed.
(laughing)
- Oh my, I could cry. - Don't cry.
(laughing)
- It's like a work of art and they're gone.
- [Dan] Gone forever.
- I am emotional!
(laughing)
- [Dan] It's Lincoln's fault.
(laughing)
- Okay, Lincoln. - How?
- What does Nike say?
- Just do it.
- Exactly, just do it.
Get those As and Bs.
