So right out the day trouble go get into it is on the area
Alright so welcome back to the channel if you guys are new don't forget to hit that subscribe button if you are older
What's up, how you doing? And if you don't know about this guy right here, I'm telling y'all right now
y'all got to learn a lot of things because as you can see he got the heat and
He's blowing me out the water, man
I'm just trying to figure out how I can getting on his level and I'll be dealing him all the time like Brett
How can I do this he gonna tell you today? So let's go ahead and get started
Just tell us about the collection how it came to be what it is today
What was that first shoe and how you got all these kids?
um, man first shoe that I probably started it off for me was the
LeBron soft BJ talked about this one first issue when it came out was sitting at Foot action
I was originally living in Jersey sitting at Foot action for weeks and every week I went in there and I'm like, yeah
Oh, yeah the next week. So one day I went in the world
Determined to find the shoe the only place I found it was right. Well, hmm
Not gonna lie to you. I went there a night and I bought four phases first. Oh,
My god a burrito but you know keep waiting kept waiting keep waiting and I end up paying like four thousand loves trigger that shoot
for one of these
Crale this is you know, this is my first
Hype shoe that I got in other words
And then from there, I just I just became you know, I have the same problem too of getting multiples of a sneaker
What kind of got you inside like? I don't need one. I don't need to I need five honey tea
No, what got you into that back then? It was easier to grab stuff for sure, you know prices were
Skyrocketing either way the way they are now so, you know if I was able to grab an extra one, you know
I was border because you know, you were one mess it up. And obviously I always have a backup hurt
My issue a lot of it as you can tell
You know more than one so on current time now that was easier than so. How would somebody go about getting multiple pairs?
Especially getting that first pair but how do they go about getting multiple pairs in this current time day seeing all this off-white star burger?
Here's the thing everybody sees this and see and says, well he has a store so you get super cheap. Right, right
Trust me that was the case of I would have three times, right?
You know, I pay a lot of a lot of money for what a lot of these pairs
I mean, I don't get anything handed to me worst part is when you you know
When people know you on the Instagram they treat you differently for sure. They actually want to charge you more because they're like well
you
Have enough money somewhere that's hard to make sure you know and in reality. It's
You know and then I get lucky and I little stuff comes into the store for cheap
So, you know if the store doesn't wander than I you know grab for myself. Yes
Sort of clearly we have I don't know how many pairs off White's right here, but a good amount
What is the number one off white shoe for you?
Right now that the Carolina one is obviously pretty dominant
But I'm kind of sort of leaning towards the MCA stuff to be honest with you. I
This was my favorite. I don't I don't really
You know know everybody was kind of like I mean, it's cool. This shoe is so nice to me from like
You know feels nice, you know see through wanna see you got your pair. Yeah
Same thing I wear one and try to hold on to the other one watch other one
You know prayer that's worn a few times so that I could you know, so I don't feel bad put that time
Yeah, you know it's not that it's not that I can't afford to wear brain tissue, right?
It's just hard how much easier one is one example, you can just buy it
That's why I try to do a new one and they use one but you know sometimes even on use pairs you're gonna
You know, right you got a collection of stuff right? You get the authorization you got the easy collection
You got another easy collection or organ Doernbecher. What is the collection that you're trying to like complete finish?
You know how you got that one missing piece or so right now. It'll probably be all white. I'm
Trying to get the whole series every single thing
I have everything so far except for the running shoes like my okay, so that's probably the only thing that I'm missing
I'm probably gonna try to pick him up tomorrow psychopath. Oh, all right
So let's make our way over to this wall. And why is your room so Jordan dominate?
Did he have a big factor in your life coming up in Chicago or what I grew up in Jersey, okay
So using Jersey
Yeah, it's when everybody war I mean
You know wasn't anything my parents in had money when I you know growing up somewhere
I was able to get two pairs of shoes the whole school year
okay, one of the beginning one of the Christmas but it was like
A real expensive shoe. So, you know, I always grow up with that
And I you know, I want my shoes, you know, all the kids are wearing Jordans
So that's kind of where prospect then there wasn't there was no easy, right? I mean it was nowhere to be found
So for a young sneaker head out there
What are some tips that you would give them from your you're starting process of like how did you get that that?
Kickstart of getting that first pair of shoes. And what did you do?
You know, everybody's always say go cut some grass go figure it out. So what was your hustle?
what was your time to be honest with you when it
All became it all started when I got my first job bro. It was I
mean
Couldn't get me shoe so as soon as I got my first job it was like damn I got paid Roy go buy shoes
Really just became you know an obsession so that was like high school
more juicing, you know, that was actually
after you're like, oh my god, I bright I was when I
Turned 16 when I graduated high school. Okay, so I couldn't get a job anyway, right?
Okay, you know at that went to college like, you know, I got my first credit card big mistake
I've been everything for sure. You know, I started buying shoes with my credit card would have paid at all
Don't recommend that so do you got any shoes that you regret up in yours and everything? That's pretty solid did I regret?
I think thank God I got rid of most everything that I regret it. That's
The most believer and I was with a white or in an affair don't like, you know, the black one
I bought three pairs are like a hundred
Now, I mean, you're lucky to get a hundred bucks, right? I mean I got it
I got the sample one here the gold one fire
Yeah, these are crazy 23 made
That one little taste 10. I've seen one more in the market
Right now, yeah
You know where I'm hearing? They're full been set TV set first one was this one?
I mean, I think I got to the word 2 or 3 times and one day they just fell apart
And I took it somebody who knew how to fix something huh? And as you can tell they didn't come back
Yeah, so they just sit here now
so tell people about the real struggles of being this major sneaker head and having all this stuff because
They think it's all peachy right and when you got all these kicks
Sometimes you got to drop some dough and sometimes you got to take else to get shoes. Yeah, and it happens a lot of
No sleep, right, you know I camped out in Jersey. It was easy for me to camp out here
I won't until no way I'm doing it
You know in Jersey I slept outside at the mall
20 20 times and by the time I go in is like oh we don't even have your size in it
Yeah, you know you lose a lot of sleep. I'm sure so it's hard. It's hard to get show sometimes especially nowadays
Everything is done through app store. Yeah back doors
What's the rough estimate on how many pairs of shoes you got in this room alone in here? I'll probably see
Anywhere from like
- I can see your can out. So yeah, that's all something. I just been buying in I
Got another one. I think I want about close to 500 pairs, okay
Down to 300, you know, what's still pushing the kid down my goal is to get down to 100
It's gonna be hard as hell at the possible, but I'm trying
Yeah, I think it's I'm gonna lie when I lived in Jersey I had about 1,000 pairs. Wait a minute
But at that point I was buying it was all general release, but just, you know, buy five pairs of the same general issue
Which at the end of a I was losing money on where I saw and I ended up selling most of it
And then I just started doing
The more limited stuff now
What is your theory behind having all these rare exclusive gems?
Is it that it's all gonna go up like stock or is it just I'm gonna have it
To take that dog shot or what is that?
You know theory behind it my main issues with my totally for if it's not Warren
I don't want to wear right I said it's I know it sounds bad, but it's just you know, it's hard to depreciate
Yeah, and like I said, it's not that I can't afford it because of my body, you know, I cried hurry
But it's just it's hard to wear it and you know to me isn't investment, you know, just keep getting more. Yeah
Yeah, I mean I was buying UNC's off white for
400 bucks in on those tights and a six to ten and a half another I think the cheapest where there might be
You know, I mean everything about it that way I just made
exactly 20 grand
Yes, so it's kind of more making wise decisions and get you purchased and knowing like alright this have a long-term effect
It's gonna be worth it if you put it on credit, how much is the interest rate?
Is that gonna factor over time?
Is it even gonna be that profit makes you it's like you gotta add up all those things before you just go out buy that
Expensive shoe. I mean, you know, no there's play center, but that's why if I'm buying a shoe
I have to make sure it's cash
like I said
I messed up back in the days buying stuff for credit card interest rate and
Time you having people on factor that you got a big?
So taken away from the very oh my shoes exactly. Sorry I try to buy everything
Okay, if I have the cancer no one way so I hate to talk about ease ease on like uses at all
But let's go ahead and get into it because you know, everybody else wanna talk about it
You got the enemies you got the easies
I'm gonna just let you do your rant because I just don't like I got all my peers
I mean same thing but always, you know when you know, when all of these were coming out it was you know
It was easy for you ain't that easy, but it was you know, I got access to them
So for sure I was buying I mean
You know like these I was buying these you never go for a lot cheaper. I was buying these for
Three four hundred bucks. I mean, there's 1314 I
mean a couple of those, you know, this one I think is fun you
Know you don't like them for this part of the shoe. Like I feel like that shoes
Insane, well, I'm not loud colors. But yeah like yeah plus the glow-in-the-dark
I'm having a hard time having warlin. Yeah worn pairs. I've had both generations and I'm just a comfort
I don't know what it is. I call it attack of the clones comfort wise you can't get around
Yeah, I mean, that's sure you know, that's why that that's why I'm into this bro, you know what I mean?
Because right right not everybody could you know put their hands on this?
Mm-hmm, you know and I'm not saying it like in a bad way. It's just you know, like it's more
Like stuff that you can't get anymore. So where's it? Where's it gonna be that tipping point where you're like, okay top market value
I got to dump all this though almost are losing money. I have six pairs of red Octobers at a point
I'm no go to but I'm sending my god
like I feel like those are type of shoes that I got to start studying writing right because you know sooner
Yeah, they're gonna crumble. Yep. So age is a big factor. I'm gonna keep newer shoes in the collection. I got the whole stuff
I mean, there's not really in it. Not that it's bad to not have
Oh jeez, but as you can see, there's not as many. Oh gee sneakers in a collection
Yeah, because you know water just and you know, now you're losing money because sure so, you know
So this is definitely an investment a collection a display PDA a lot of factors more than just my problem everything in here's my size
Okay, like five or six pairs that are my size, but you know
Once it comes in here, it's like for it to go back out
Now that I, you know want to be an astronaut he's been at the one of my UNC's for a year
And I'm like no. Okay. Thank you. So and he's giving me what they want for Andros like
13 pairs and I'm like
He's paying me market and I'm right
Once it comes in here. It's like
You know, I probably would never get rid of yeah
I
remember when you first started getting our organs the
Like I told people I want to finish shove them off but one day not I got sorry. They have too many pairs
It's one of those were like, you know sample comes on mountain. I don't know who's putting price tag, when shoes you know
Scott for like is it really worth 20 grand, right?
I mean samples back then with you know, three four thousand dollars, which is still a lot of money, but it's you know
It's a lot easier to pay three for that now. It's for sure. I was sort of he releases two or three thousand
Yeah. Yeah, and I see I saw you have to some of the
friends and family
For sure, you know what I mean for sure, especially the way Nikias they they'll come up with something, you know, for example
There's an Oregon pamphlet, right? What's the difference between this and the one that came out here for sure, though?
You know the hole in the back or something
You know that stuff that to me is not worth buying anymore if we had to pick ten shoes and pull them
All right, now that you is not getting rid of ever that I wouldn't never get ever
Put them out right here and line them up and these gonna be a top team that you never getting rid of
Like you just know damn well like I'm keeping at least one pair so we got his top team
And this is crazy. I don't even know who is value this air right now
I'm telling you right now if the house burned down and he was alone. I walk away with 10 pair of shoes
This is a while. I think I'll be alright, I think you'd be alright, you might be able
I mean a lot of people gotta say it's all hype stuff, right?
But it's you know stuff that that took me a while to acquire. Mm-hmm. You know, they couldn't you know, this one took me
This is probably one of the last off ways. I was you know that I grabbed because prices were getting in
yeah, first time you know, so this is one that
Took me a water gay
MCAS, you know. Mostly they dropped in Chicago. Mmm-hmm
And even at that point until you know, it took me forever, you know to grab to grab them
Um, I mean just was just such a thing there. I
think I could I get where this well anything so
A lot more wearable than the Chicago. Yeah
I mean, I'm actually, you know, I got a phase of the Chicago's and I'm scared of where the Chicago that's put it again
Especially because of the tool box is different the material and I just felt I think I guess so dirty for sure
Oregon three this, Oregon, Oregon not, Oregon, Oregon
And the Fox I traded a Red October for this really so
That's why I think
But but but when I traded that was when would you get a good size though? Yeah
I was anybody got an 11 right had a nine and a half a chair for an hour and a half and
It was too tight. Just like yeah, and I ended up getting rid of it and I swapped for an 11 so
I guess that first pair of
You know high shoe that I that I really got for one of my guys
So there's you know, I'll probably never leave but it's probably one of the best seasons ever made between more comfortable
Yeah between these two. I mean, you know, you can't get any better than that. So same thing with with with that one
That's like a plain old shoe, but right not so many out there hurt
so I got
So this pair actually didn't come from Congress and this came from
Rzp, did a pop up. Okay and verge or showed up me and my guy were there?
The whole day we drove to the shop as soon as we get into the shop. He tweeted that he was gonna be there
raced down there goes probably
400 people in less than 20 minutes I wasn't able to get up here though. The guy who bought these
For 700 bucks, so
Yeah at that point I was like man I got right for these yeah, but now they're
Right, I mean you can't really put a price on it. Oh, yeah one pair all-star gets the other day for like 7 million
I said yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Well, this is you know, I'm finding my favorite pair from deal for a condition. So
This was the only shoe that I wasn't if I'm gonna grab one, right? This is the one
For sure, so, you know if I had to pick ten shoes, that's why we're all right. Yeah, so that's his top ten
I hope you guys enjoyed it
