so I went to all-star weekend and I did some shopping I also got a bunch of gifts so I wanted
to unbox all this stuff and show you guys what I picked up over the weekend so I'm sure some of
you guys have seen all my other social platforms Instagram Tick Tock Snapchat YouTube shorts you
name it I've been posting a couple of things some behind the scenes look different photos people I
met and some of the parties I went to but I didn't really have time to actually shoot a full Vlog of
the trip so I figured I'd do a little recap and tell a couple stories along the way as I unbox
some of the things that I got starting off with the first item right here we have a Foot Locker
bag and inside of here let's see what we got we got a little Flex app card right here and a
little is this a phone basketball it looks like a little foam basketball right here and then I
ended up picking up a pair I had to double up it only made sense I was copying them for retail as
you can see by the box right here you got a pair of Jordans but which ones are they are they nines
or are they 11's I got another pair of Cherry 11s They were sitting on shelves at the Foot
Locker store they had them for retail they were restocking a bunch of different Retros throughout
the weekend each and every day they were dropping new retro so when I saw these hit the shelves I
was like you know what I gotta grab another pair I couldn't pass up on them so as I was leaving
the Foot Locker they actually had another Foot Locker right down the hallway and that's where
the House of Hoops was at and they were doing a collaboration pop-up with Jordan brand and they
were bringing out different people to do speaking engagements having different high schools and it
was super dope as you guys can see right here from The Tick Tock video that I posted you could go in
there and they had Barbers people to do your nails they had photo booths with the little Wheaties
pop up they had other installations with art or playing 2K and I think it was a really good pop-up
because a lot of people were able to come in and get a good shopping experience as well getting
all these different items for retail and then to also be able to have a little bit of fun while
they were in there shopping during that time I got a chance to sit down with bam and Big Tigger and
it was super dope medium Big Tigger in particular because we all know he has been around for so long
and we ended up okay and he showed me some videos of his shoe collection and he said we might be
able to come out and shoot his collections if we can make that happen I think it would be super
dope if anybody else knows him as well make sure you guys reach out to him and tell him I'm trying
to pull up and shoot that collection video because I think it'll be super dope to do but besides that
I did a little bit of shopping before I left and went to the Jordan party and I'm gonna show you
guys what I got right here the first shoe as you can see it's a little bit smaller but you know
I had to get something for wifey as well she doesn't have this colorway in particular so I
made sure I picked him up for her couldn't pass up for a retail cup you got the Navy Forge right
here in her size this is I think is another good option I saw these sitting on the shelf they had
just restocked them they put this in a different shoe out and I got a pair of shoes for myself as
well but to see these hit the shelves for retail I was like yo I gotta get these and being that
this was a collaboration with House of Hoops they had a nice shopping bag for everybody with Jordan
brand right there you got The Branding on the back so nice premium bag I thought it was cool
to show you guys as well what comes along with the shopping experience now for the shoes that
I got they're sitting on shelves some people may call these bricks you can call them what
you like I just hadn't got a chance to get this shoe for retail yet and I I've been wanting to
get these since they came out and I didn't want to pay anything over the retail price as you
can see from the box right here another pair of Jordans you guys know I like my Js but in this box
ah y'all know I love me some sixes can you guess what's inside the Box
the Georgetown Air Jordan 6. they restocked these at the store right when they restocked the fours
and I happened to be there when they did it and I ended up getting my hands on a pair and I was
extremely happy about this cop I've been finding pairs for retail and just above retail but they
weren't a size 13 and when I saw the size 13 sitting at the store I was like bro well I
didn't say I saw the size 13. I just saw a pair on the shelves and typically when I see a pair they
never have them in my size so I was like yo do you guys have a size 13 and they're like let me check
they went to the back and they're like yeah we got the four for you uh for your wife for her size but
let me check on the sixes I don't know and then the other dude was like yeah we just got those we
got a 13 for sure so the dude goes back he grabs them for me he's like yeah we got him I was like
bro instant cop I need to have these so I finally got these in my collection I'm not sure if I'm
gonna do a full review on these I know I gave you guys some in-depth looks at the shoe just on some
in hand shots right now but either way I love this sneaker I think they did a really really good job
on this shoe let me know what you guys think about these down below and uh let's take it to the next
part of the week weekend so after that we ended up going to the Jordan brand parlor 23 and it was a
friends and family event only so I had a chance to go in and meet with a bunch of crazy cool people
talking about big celebrities and names that you know different athletes and other people in
the media world as well and like I said before I know I've been trying to tell these stories in the
past because this is stuff I used to do years ago like 10 years ago I used to go to All-Star Weekend
all the time and do these things but I just would never document the journey and I kind of forgot to
do that as well because I like to be in the moment and trying to network with people at the same time
so I kind of see more value in the relationships than actually trying to capture content of those
people so that's just kind of something for me when it comes to these special events but I was
able to grab a couple pictures and take a couple videos while I was there just trying to remember
to do that on the content side but I want to show you guys a couple things that I got um right here
this is the bag that they gave us so it's the Parlor 23 Saloon it was a little tote bag and then
it has a Jumpman on the front so as you can see on the toe on the back end it has the coordinates and
then it says Salt Lake City and everything like that and on this day I didn't get the black and
white ones uh when they had came out so I was kind of like damn bro how did I get these but luckily
they had something to make me happy and they have as you can see right here the little Locker box
super cool I got a 5c I always like getting the baby shoes from my collection as well but you got
the OG Air Jordan 1 black and white right here 85 Style with the baby shoe these are super clean I
love this sneaker I think it's super dope to see that OG style of the Jordan 1 comeback compared
to the Retro style now um right here also inside oh I forgot about this so you got to customize
the item but I was literally so busy upstairs by the basketball court networking with people I kind
of forgot by the end of the night when the party was getting over and I went down there and I was
a little too late so I ended up not being able to customize an item but this is the ticket that they
give you to customize I think it was a hoodie or something like that but luckily they hooked
me up with some other stuff and um I got some photos right here we gotta backtrack real quick
um these photos I don't know if you can see it I'll try to get a close-up shot but this is at
the Wheaties Booth uh at the House of Hoops pop up earlier in the day this was kind of
with me just messing around taking a couple shots so that was something that's cool as
well put that in there to protect it so I wouldn't mess up the photos when I packed
the stuff to bring it home and I forgot to show you guys so besides that I was uh I wasn't able
to customize the free hoodie that they were giving out to everybody that was you know the
party favor so we got the totes as well and then I ended up getting a hoodie right here
so as you can see it's got the Jordan brand right here this is stitched on like an embroidered
Jumpman logo and then on the back end right here you got the coordinates Salt Lake City
got the globe right there 23 with a Jumpman and everything so they ended up hooking me up with
the hoodie either way and it was super dope to be able to go there and network and meet a lot of
dope people and reconnect with a lot of friends as well because I haven't really been going to
all-star weekend that much anymore over the past few years and now that I'm getting back in the
mix and meeting all my friends and stuff again and seeing everybody and meeting new people it's been
fun to go out and do it so what else did I cop from there I went to The Parlor oh also here we go
so we got another white bag right here this was actually from The Parlor so they had similar
style bags at The Parlor or at the House of Hoops pop-up but they had the craft fours there and I
was like you know what like if they got a retail cop they got a size 13 let me just try it and see
if I want to keep this shoe or not you guys know my mentality if I'm on the fence about the shoe
I typically will purchase it and then if I end up not liking it I'll either give it away or trade it
to somebody or whatever and try to get a different shoe but right here we have the craft Air Jordan
4 a nice mixture of materials with the leathers and the suedes and everything like that if you
guys want to see a review video of this sneaker let me know Down Below in the comment section
and I'll try to get that out to you guys as soon as I possibly can I know there's a lot going on
this week and we got Sneaker Con coming up but I wanted to make sure I showed you guys these
as well I thought it was a nice pickup again not my favorite Air Jordan 4 but a really clean shoe
right here is a couple wristbands as well from the Three-Point Contest the night with the dunk
contest and everything like that sometimes I keep the wristbands I got a couple other party
wristbands over here I usually just kind of use them as memorabilia and throw them in the boxes
for storytelling and different things like that and I have some boxes and actually I know I don't
know how interesting it would be to you guys but I have these boxes that are loaded with like these
crazy wristbands from like VIP parties concerts tours you name it and I have just so many stories
literally I could look at The Wristband and just tell you a bunch of crazy stories just simply from
looking at a wristband and the nights out and the different things like that so if you do want to
see a video like that or something like this like House of Hoops all access pass different things
like that and just kind of telling you guys the different stories I would be down to do something
like that because I think it would be kind of fun so the next one right here we got a bag again from
the parlor23 shout out to Jordan Brown for hooking it up bro you guys are amazing for this one size
13 I wasn't able to get the shoes but luckily they had them there took care of your boy oh man oh man
85 Jordan 1 black and white these recently came out over the past week and uh you know
I got all the colors so I gotta get these plus I was actually wearing my 2008 CDP pair out there
just in just to bring back Nostalgia people thought I was wearing these ones and they're
like oh dope you got the new ones and I was like nah nah check the back in they
seen the jump man it was like damn you got the whole and so for me it's always fun to
do those little things like that just to let the sneaker heads know like if you know you
know type thing so I was excited about picking these up and I got my size super happy about
this sneaker right here and uh I think this is a great cop like this is duh man this is
a great shoe right here so let me know what you guys think about these were you guys able
to get this shoe and do you want to see a full in-depth review of this sneaker comparing to
other colorways and different models and iterations oh speaking of that actually
I got them right here these are the ones I was wearing so you see the jumpmans is on the tongue
and then you got the Jumpman on the back end right there on the heel so different variations of the
shoe different eras I still love that sneaker and I love that sneaker way before the pandas came
out I just stopped wearing it because everybody was wearing the pandas but that's a whole nother
topic either way another dope shoe another great addition to the collection now we got a couple
more things to go over because the trip was fun we hit up the celebrity game we saw my bro jesser he
went crazy out there at the game he was doing his thing he ended up getting fouled out he got kicked
out of the game which is crazy but either way we had a good time at that like I said the dunk
contest was insane well part of it was some of the other dunks was kind of weak but we can talk about
that later you guys seen some of the tick tocks that's been going up speaking of that shout out
to y'all for showing Love On The Tick Tock bro we're getting millions of views right now if you
guys aren't following me on Tick Tock right now please go over there DJ Sneakerhead check it out
tap in hit that subscribe or I guess follow button over there hit the follow button and let's go
have some fun on Tick Tock because I like to post different stuff on different platforms as well so
let's see what we got next oh we met Travis Scott speaking of that let's talk about that real quick
so I ended up going to the NBA Cactus Jack pop up out there as well and they had a different venue
where they did the parties at the end of the night and then they had a pop-up shop right down below
that people could go shop at during the daytime so there's a bunch of people camped out in line
and everything like that and we ended up pulling up and I had to go check it out and see what they
had so they had patches and they had different things that you could do to add the items to
what you purchased so they had like a blank tee and they had the NBA logo with the Cactus Jack on
it and then you could customize it with different patches and things like that speaking of that I
got some of the patches right here I got these to put on my hat so as you can see they say Utah and
everything like that on their All-Star I want to just get something that actually represented where
it was from and told the story of like All-Star Weekend 2023 because some of the other ones just
said Cactus Jack you could have literally got those from anywhere so typically when I get
these type of merch remember rebellious things I like to get stuff like that so I ended up getting
a pair of brown sweats right here I didn't do any customization to them they got the All-Star
patch on them with the Cactus Jack logo that's on both sides of the sweats right here just wanted
something a little bit simple honestly nothing too crazy I know they did have some stuff that
you could go wild with but I just wanted like some sweats that I didn't have in a different color and
I don't have any brown Swiss that are this color in particular everybody need them doodle Browns
you know what I'm saying so I had to make sure I grabbed these and I thought it'd be a cool little
memorabilia piece but besides that I was there and uh all the Jordan brand family pulled up next
thing you know Travis Scott pulls up we ended up going back inside and he was up in there taking
photos with people and doing everything got to meet the crew and it was super dope to have that
experience and watch all the fans get to meet him as well so that was a cool little thing knowing
that we were just happened to be at the right place at the right time and it all kind of aligned
while we were out there and things were just going and flowing really well and shout out to
everybody that was showing love or helping me get into different places or inviting me to certain
parties or private events I had a great time with that as well my boy legit Tim was out there so I
linked up with him I got to link up with a lot of different homies and we had a really good
time now before we end this video we got a couple more things to go over because we had a friends
and family party that we went to that I forgot to mention and that was the feature party so at this
party as you can see from the clips right here we pulled up they had the feature at the beginning
right there they had the free ice cream they had the open bar all the different things they got the
food they had the hoodie customization and the shirt customization and they ended up hooking
me up with a dope hoodie which I'm going to show you guys in a second but we got to talk about the
pop-up because honestly they had a really really clean pop-up they had a bunch of items available
for retail they had an area to sit down and chill then they had all the different items from the
fear of God for retail and a lot of different collaborations and hats and feature products as
well so I thought it was a really cool product and shout out to the guys at feature and the team that
put that together because y'all are some real ones y'all know who you are I appreciate you guys as
always now let's get into this dope hoodie so they ended up letting me customize a hoodie and I want
to show you guys what it looks like I actually kind of tatted it up a little bit so on the front
right here I ended up deciding to go with the print with the feature just below the Nike logo so
this is actually stitched on there and then this is printed on and then on the sleeve right here we
did a Nike Swoosh going upward on the sleeve over here and then on the sleeve on the right side let
me try to there we go Salt Lake City you got the hoop with the fire and the ball going through it
right here down on the right side of the sleeve I did a hit on the side of the hood right here
so it's never done is the statement that they were using so it's like Salt Lake City has never
done so and so so it's never done so it was kind of cool adding that and then I made sure like I
said something that really represents the area and putting a time stamp on things you got the
Utah feature Salt Lake City big logo right here on the back end of the hoodie as well so I tatted
this thing up they told me I could have added more stuff to it but I was just like bro I gotta go I'm
tired I still need to eat we got other places to be we're having a great time everything was moving
and grooving so fast bro I was literally eating like one time a day bro it's just way too much
stuff going on so to say all that we had fun we went to a bunch of different events we met a bunch
of great people but to finish off the trip in the best way we went to the Hennessy party and shout
out to the Hennessy team for putting on a dope event we had a really good time and I'm telling
you guys right now it was extremely hard for a lot of people to get in so I was really honored
to be able to have the opportunity to go into the party and meet all these new people all these new
celebrities and athletes and everything like that but not only just them the actual back end and all
the other people that work and help them put all these things on and that networking was very very
valuable so I had a really good time with that and they ended up hooking me up with this dope
ball right here so this is white ball and it's got this iridescent kind of blue to it and it
was like real snowy it's actually I got a clip it was kind of snowing like a snow flurry while
we were at the bar at one of the bar there was like a lot of different bars at this venue it was
like a three-story venue and I'm talking about bro like AI was there you name it like all the
Ballers everybody was there it was a great time we had a good time but they had these dope balls all
throughout the venue and these special bottles and I really like this basketball I thought it'd be
a something for a dope display piece for myself so kind of got that iridescent lines on it with
the all white all throughout the ball then you got the Hennessy logo right here on the back end
and you got the Hennessy on the front with the NBA official Spirit of the NBA so that makes a lot of
sense and I thought this was something super dope to take home and have a good time with so that's
kind of it that's wrapping it up let me know what you guys think about the pickups if you guys want
hear more stories about the weekend I know I was kind of vague on some of the things but I just
had a really good time I wanted to tell a couple stories about the things that I picked up and if
you guys want to see more videos like this or me in different cities or going to different events
let me know I'll try to record more I know but I was very busy getting to work as well and building
relationships because that's more important than getting all these material items so I'll see you
guys another one I'm out yo before you go I just launched my Sneakerhead Academy where we
got everything on the inside I teach you all the stuff that I learned over the past 15 years when
