sup everybody's Joe from complex we're
in Los Angeles that flight club with the
beautiful Amber Rose
hello I thought I was ballin when I had
those we're gonna do some sneaker
shopping today we're gonna get a
female's perspective on the sneaker game
you know a swag is very just settled
subtle play subtle flex with high I'm
gonna see what she likes what she
doesn't like hopefully she's gonna buy
some sneakers if they're pink oh let's
do it amber let's talk about growing up
in Philly and as a child what were your
sneaker habits like good you always have
the best sneakers I did not always have
the best sneakers I grew up very poor
the single mom I actually remember
getting made fun of in school because my
sneakers were so bad
I would call my dad another like dad can
you please buy me some sneakers and he
would say does the soul have a hole in
it well no it doesn't have a hole in it
but I still need new sneakers like
they're dirty as
and he would say well if the soul
doesn't have a hole in it then they're
still good so take him to the laundromat
wash them and make them brand new when
was the time where you finally got the
sneakers you really wanted around high
school it was always like the Reebok
classics the 5411 or Feliz yeah yeah and
that was about it I never had Jordans
growing up I remember that I had the
Nike Air that it was air really big on
the side and I thought I was ballin when
I had those you have them on right now I
wasn't even paying attention I'm in like
the zone of I like literally just looked
down are you nervous is that what it is
not really you're intimidating I am do
they have those here we're gonna have to
get you a pair regardless if they have
them here okay all right I will look but
those are sick thank you the Pippen yeah
1996
got it so you know
you talked about finally getting a pair
of Jordans when you can afford them you
know we have the sixes we have the fives
and the fours and the threes which pair
of Jordans stood out to you as one of
your favorites I would say the threes
yeah I think the threes are my favorite
okay
talk about the threes and when you got
him in 2009 what was it like to put
those on for the first time amazing I
feel like these are the best Jordans I
feel like you could wear them with
anything and look Superfly so these are
by far my favorite your son is three
years old yes is he gonna be raised a
sneakerhead
probably from his dad yeah his dad yells
at me all the time cuz I dressed my son
like a little nerd and he gets so mad at
me but his dad will probably hook him up
with all this stuff okay he's more aware
of like what's going on yeah I want to
ask you about females getting their own
sneaker Rihanna has a Puma deal Teyana
Taylor had an Adidas and now she's
working with Reebok Nicki Minaj has some
Jordans how do you feel about females in
the industry getting their own sneakers
you know how I feel about that I think
it's awesome um girls obviously we're
sneakers too we don't always wear heels
and I think it's super cool I think the
Pumas that Rihanna did are sick yeah I'm
definitely looking forward to getting
those a lot of musicians want to be
athletes and athletes want to be like
musicians how do you feel about who has
better style oh that's a tough one
I think you know it's just who you are
as a person you know I guess I think
athletes do get a bad rep for like
dressing horribly yeah but that's cuz
the ones that dress really bad stick out
yeah but um yeah I guess he just depends
on the person now we see a lot of
athletes taking risks with their
colorways pink Foamposites and Kevin
Durant has floral prints do you like
that trend
I just think guys that wear pink is
really sexy
so if I were these you'd be cool with
that I would totally have sex with you
if you wore those alright I need these
in a locker now for sneaker culture a
lot of dudes race to Instagram to be
first with the new pair of sneakers how
do you feel about that thing it's very
corny really I would be turned off by
that so if you saw your man taking a
picture of his sneaker
laughter he just got him and running to
Instagram you'd be like yeah what are
you doing it would be a turn-off for
sure you know a swag is very just subtle
they kind of want to notice your shoes
like you didn't even say it but I like
saw it subtle flecks Oh what is the
craziest thing you've done to get a pair
of sneakers you really wanted I waited
on the corner and I had like a sign that
said blow jobs for sneakers that's not
true no I am I don't think I was doing
anything crazy for sneakers okay fair
enough we talked about everything
growing up Jordans dudes wearing pink
yeah let's see what sneakers you're
feeling let's try them on okay let's go
I got those oh I have these I have those
already I have those too what about
these those are cool I definitely want
to get these right um I'm gonna get
these for my boo that's a good gift
thank you and I'm gonna get the
Foamposites the red ones and the black
cement Oh sick they're dope even though

may not have those
