- [Dad] What is this box Lincoln?
- Amazingness.
- [Dad] Amazingness?
It has your name on it.
- [Lincoln] It's my name on it.
- [Dad] Open it up, let's see, let's see.
- [Lincoln] Ta-da-da-da!
- [Dad] Oh, your artist's box!
Your sisters would love this!
- I know.
- What's going on today?
Where are we?
- We're at the Nike Design?
Nike Design Lab.
- Design Lab, awesome!
Today is a special day.
This is the main reason why we came here.
Lincoln gets the unique opportunity to actually design
a shoe.
- [Lincoln] The shoe.
- A Nike Air Max with the different materials and things.
We have this book that's full of all kinds of materials,
this is our design kit.
- [Lincoln] All these.
- Lincoln gets to go through this and figure out
what stuff is meaningful to him,
kind of like we talked to Tinker Hatfield yesterday,
and he, Lincoln asked him a question like
where he gets his inspiration from.
- To make it easy way to sort of describe
how you might go about doing it would be,
what do you love?
What do you like?
- Lincoln stayed up for like an hour last night
just thinking about like writing down
what's impactful to me?
What's important?
And so, now the cool thing is, we have our own designer.
One of the best at Nike, right?
- You betcha!
- This is John.
- Howdy!
- John, how long have you been a designer?
- I've been a footwear designer for five years.
I've been at Nike for three.
With Nike on the athletes for that entire time, so...
- [Dad] Awesome.
- ...I like to consider myself a specialist in what we do.
I'm super excited to work with Lincoln and
we're gonna design the coolest Air Max
the world's ever seen.
- Nice!
They've got about two hours, they're gonna get to business,
and design some shoes.
Do you want me to stay here,
or do you want me to go to the Nike Store
and get some stuff?
- I don't care, you can go get some stuff.
I like it when you get stuff for me.
- Okay, maybe I'll go.
Maybe I'll go to the Nike Store
and get some Nike stuff to take home.
- Lot's, get lots.
- Yeah, then Lincoln can surprise me.
I'll come back
and he can explain everything that's going on.
Sound good?
- Okay.
- All right John, good luck.
- Get out of here.
- Nike Company Store.
What's the deal with this place?
Do you get like discounts on stuff?
Is that right?
- [Male] Yeah!
- Okay, so we get discounts on Nike stuff.
You have to be an employee I think,
but today we're Nike employees.
Let's go check it out!
(upbeat music)
- Everything here is 50% off.
Everything.
(laughing)
I'm getting these.
Lincoln has his own custom designed LeBron for this kind
that were a lot more expensive than this.
I can't pass up on it.
They don't have Lincoln's size though.
Here's the damage.
All of these boxes.
Look at all of those.
The good thing is, they have shipping.
So I can ship them all back to Utah,
because we have no room in our luggage.
We already have so much Nike stuff it's crazy!
- You can never have too much Nike stuff.
- Did you hear that?
You can never have too much Nike stuff.
Lot of fun.
Most of these shoes are for family and friends
that really just wanted some shoes.
They're gonna be happy to get those.
Got me some new golf shoes and Lincoln some golf shoes,
so that's good.
The stinky thing about shipping is that
you have to pay sales tax if you ship it.
So I had to pay an extra 44 bucks for sales tax,
just for shipping it to Utah,
where it would have been free here
if I walked out the door with it.
Now let's go see!
I'm super excited to see what Lincoln's shoe looks like.
I gave him some ideas.
I was like maybe we should do like a
"what's inside" type shoe, like
go playba and jawbreaker, baseball, all this stuff.
He was like, "Dad, I just wanna do what I wanna do.
I want to make this shoe as if I'm designing it."
He might incorporate some "what's inside" stuff,
but I'm pretty sure it's just gonna be his own deal.
So, yeah, it should be exciting to see what he does.
We are back.
Let's see what they did.
All right, I wanna see your shoe?
- Wanna see the shoe?
- Did you make a good shoe?
- Uh, yeah.
- Is it awesome?
- Yeah.
Wait.
This is the shoe.
I made.
(laughing)
- [Dad] Oh that's funny.
- [Lincoln] Look in the inside.
Tell me about the alien guy in neon green.
- [Dad] Why is he an alien guy?
- 'Cause he's funny.
- [Dad] Tell me about your shoe.
What were you thinking?
- Tesla is electric.
So we decided to put all these lines here.
- [Dad] To make it look fast?
- [Lincoln] To make it look fast and electric,
so it's blue, so...
- [Dad] Is this blue or green?
- [Lincoln] It's blue.
- [Female] We need Lincoln!
- That was what it is, right there, that's the color.
- [Dad] What's it called?
- [Lincoln] Aurora Green.
- [Dad] That's green.
- [Lincoln] Yeah I know, but does that look green to you?
- [Dad] Yeah.
So tell me about this robot guy.
- [Lincoln] Um, that's really funny, that's like,
I'll show you the color of what that really is.
- [Dad] Oh that's the alien guy.
- [Lincoln] Yeah I know.
Look, that was what he actually is,
that's what his color looks like.
- [Dad] How did it go?
- Oh, it went awesome.
- [Dad] Fun?
- Went super awesome.
Yeah.
- [Dad] It looks like we got a lot of Tesla going on.
- It was great, I mean, yeah.
What we did was we um, it was great that Lincoln came in
with so many ideas of his own.
He had a sketchbook full of stuff already concepted up.
We were able to sketch out two or three possible solutions,
we had like a Pompidou Centre inspired one,
we had this Tesla inspired one.
Then we laid them out next to each other with like 10-15
minutes left and we made the gut check, you know,
which one felt like a winner.
And this Tesla one really seemed to resonate a lot.
The feedback from Tinker was great and yeah.
- [Dad] What did Tinker say?
What did he think about it?
- Tinker, he said he liked the color way a lot,
he was like it's super wearable, it's super modern.
And then, he liked the inspiration from the Tesla car
specifically because
you know it's 2017,
electric cars are out there, it's a thing,
and if we have a platform to talk about an
electric way of living,
that's a little bit better for the world
and everybody in it,
it's a great message to sort of send,
as opposed to some other forms of inspiration
that do something with a little bit of a message
felt really cool.
- [Dad] Yeah, nice, I like it.
- I love the color blue,
so I got lots of color blue,
and then the wavy lines come from a Tesla,
because a Tesla is electric and we have a Tesla,
so I love electric vehicles.
We decided to put the wavy lines as a sign of electricity.
I wanted to put the inside guy so it's like
what's inside is popping.
I also thought that little alien guy was very funny.
- [Tinker] What's the gray color?
Is that shiny or...
- [John] Yeah so for material finishes
all the gray is metallic silver,
go going with the automotive finish and feel.
- [Tinker] So you get that real, just speedy fast,
automotive vibe.
- [John] Yeah.
Then black on the rubber to go with black tires.
Reflective for the tongue top logo,
just to give it a little bit of pop,
a little headlight finish.
Yeah, and uh, the story,
I thought Lincoln's idea with the Tesla inspiration
really came together in a cool, comprehensive shoe,
like that thing looks mean.
I wanna pair.
(laughter)
- [Tinker] I think that storyline with the electricity,
it's a part of the style idea, but it's also...
- That's pretty cool.
That's pretty cool that they did that.
By the time you're watching this video,
you're seeing it on the Nike website.
We haven't seen it yet.
It's gonna look cool on there, but,
I think you can vote.
Go look at all of them from all the kids here.
They all did a great job, so
lot of fun.
Here's what's going on.
It's a photo shoot.
There's the photo shoot room.
This is all the wardrobe stuff.
They already picked out stuff.
Check it out.
They already printed out these pictures.
And there he is.
He's under the talent.
That's pretty cool.
You're right here.
Yep, sports stuff.
- [Lincoln] Oh, yep, yep.
- [Dad] Long sleeves, they know you.
- [Lincoln] That's what I'm wearing today.
That's all almost.
- [Dad] What's going on over here?
Mr. Movie Star.
- [Makeup Artist] Hey.
- [Dad] You got makeup going on.
(laughter)
Is it cold, like last time?
- [Makeup Artist] Yeah, that's what he said.
He said it's cold.
(music)
- [Dad] Okay buddy, get changed.
That is perfect, right there.
(music)
- [Dad] How was it being a photography model?
- [Lincoln] Lots of screaming.
- [Dad] Lots of screaming?
I think this is for Air Max day.
They are taking a bunch of photos of people so
Lincoln and a few of the other influencers that were here,
get to get their photos taken.
This is a lot of fun.
It's been an amazing trip.
Design his own shoe this morning,
Olympic athlete yesterday, Olympic gold medalist.
Man!
(funky music)
Okay, so that guy has better moves than Lincoln,
but to his credit,
he is officially the Justin Bieber of China.
Seriously.
He hold's a Guinness Book of World Records
for the most re-tweeted item.
I guess it's not really re-tweeted,
it's a different account called Bebo,
but he had 46 million shares
in like two days, which is the record.
It was like his birthday thing.
The whole time we've been here,
he's just kind of stood there and walked around
and then all of a sudden he gets on that platform
and he's just like, woo, moving it like crazy,
it is impressive.
Pete, that is a wrap from Nike,
there, Hi LaBron.
Come on out Lincoln.
All right, so we're gonna head out.
Look at our driver.
We got the Blues Brothers guy right there.
Insert Blues Brothers clip right here.
- One, two, one, two, three, four.
(music)
- [Dad] That's one of my favorite shows.
- [Lincoln] Aha!
- [Dad] Look at our car, it's a Tesla!
And look at this!
We have a Tesla on the shoe Lincoln designed today.
- We're in a Tesla, and what's this?
It's a Tesla.
- [Driver] So gentlemen,
my stuff says we're going to the airport.
(gentle music)
- Gotta say, that was super cool of Nike
to give us a Tesla.
I'm sure that was planned.
They saw Lincoln do his thing and they're like,
"well let's get him a Tesla".
That is a company that goes all out.
They do every little thing
to make sure that we had a great experience.
Now, we are at the Portland Airport,
we're heading to Burbank, California.
We're gonna meet Leslie and Claire and London over there.
Tomorrow we're going to
the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in L.A.
We're gonna take you guys along.
We'll take the camera.
We get to go on the orange carpet.
This weekend, as tired as we are from Nike,
it's gonna keep on going.
We're gonna keep having fun.
Then when we get home on Sunday,
we can sleep.
For like two days.
This is gonna be a lot of fun.
(piano music)
Quick update on the shoe status.
Lincoln's shoe was out there.
You guys voted like crazy.
I think we had 32 million views in two days.
Not 32 million,
32 million votes for Lincoln's shoe in two days.
At the end of the voting, after two days,
he was in second place and they were going to take
the top three people.
But, there were a lot of computer bots people that voted,
so Nike is going through validating
all the votes for everybody.
If it's produced, if it's sold in stores,
we will travel to the store,
maybe do like a big fan meet up at the store where it's sold
and you guys can buy it, possibly meet us, and all that.
Win or lose, whether Lincoln's shoe is produced or not,
this whole thing was a big old win.
Go back if you haven't and go watch the other videos.
What's inside the Vapor Max, the Nike Headquarters,
our two-day trip to Paris, that was a lot of fun.
Thank you to you guys for making all this possible,
and thank you to Nike
for letting us go on this big experience.
Whew.
Let's see if he wins.
