Bun B: Yo yo what up Trill OG Bun B reppin' UGK for life in here with Monster Energy and
Monster Music gonna introduce everybody to the storefront here in Houston,
Texas come on in let's take a look at some shoes baby.
So Sneaker Summit would be considered a consignment store good friends of mine own
the place work here we kind of all just kind of meet up here usually three, four times a week or
if we're in the area just chop it up and either cop something or talk about
what's coming new. You know you can see this this whole section is devoted to Yeezys and
this one is more of a Nike section even though there's a Van here and Jam Master J Adidas a lot
of great basketball shoes in here that's probably one of the most limited shoes in here the Kobe '81
so yeah there's only eight pair of those in the world four white, four black
extremely hard to get the owner is a huge huge Kobe Bryant fan
also we have the Shaquille O'Neal Pump this is actually his size this would be a size 22.
bigger than the rims on most people's car bigger than my head right and it's signed by Shaq.
Sneakers for me is a way to identify like-minded people right so some people collect cars some
people collect watches everybody has these certain things that they're into that kind of symbolizes
who they are and how they see the world you know for me it's sneakers right because if you're into
sneakers it's very hard to identify you in a room I could be in a room full of five thousand people
but I could see a certain shoe on someone's feet and i know how serious they take sneaker culture
Union Jordan 4 this is the Guava this is the Black here's the Travis Scott 4's you can see the tongue
how high the tongue comes up this is the normal regulation length of the tongue for Jordan 4.
What Union did was basically fold it over and stitched it so you can unstitch it and open it
up if you want this is upside down on the tongue on the back of the tongue so if you look on here
you'll see it and it's upside down on this version this is the Travis Scott 4 so obviously it says
Travis Scott upside down but that's usually where the Air Jordan labeling is on that shoe
on the inside of the tongue so these are like some of the most wanted shoes in the country
actually in the world for that matter
I travel all around the world doing concerts I go to London, Germany, specifically Japan
obviously a lot of things get lost in translation but sneakers never get lost in translation so if
you walk in certain places and you don't speak the language but you still rock
certain pair of shoes you'll be able to find the sneaker heads in that city because either
you'll make mention of their shoe or they'll make mention of yours Nike did a collaboration
with The Grateful Dead old-school psychedelic rock group and so the yellow and the green were
I wouldn't say easily accessible they were the easier of the two to get the orange was exclusive
only to one store in Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco which is basically the neighborhood that
Grateful Dead kind of formed in and is known for representing. That shoe was really probably one of
the hardest shoes to get this year it's actually a guy in here that hid it which is ridiculous.
As you can see there's a wide variety of shoes here Jordans, there's Dunks, Jordan Highs, Lows,
pretty much almost every number. I think my love for sneakers kind of started around the eighth
grade there was something about that Jordan 1 model that just really stood out and so that's
the way to connect yourself to the legacy and the iconic figure that Michael Jordan is is by
wearing Michael Jordan's shoes. So this is the Air Jordan Dior collaboration uh this is the High this
is the Low. These were super hard to get people who had first access to these are people who are
like really big Dior customers like Jordan didn't have these at all really um you couldn't get these
from Jordan brand so it wasn't a shoe that showed up on like Sneakers app or anything like that you
literally had to get them from a Dior location and because of Covid that made it that much harder to
actually get the shoe. I think one of the illest I got during quarantine was probably the Civilist
Dunk which is really crazy that's the one that changes color when uh heat gets on it
so that's regular room temperature that's elevated temperature um of course the Ben And Jerry's
Nike SD Chunky Dunky huge deal right the patterning the material uh the rollout was
really cool there's two versions there's a regular version and then there's a more
exclusive friends and family version so the friends and family version came in a replica
Ben And Jerry's ice cream box. That's got to be top three shoe this year I think. So this is
so this is a custom designed shoe from my homie Jaysse Lopez the owner of Urban
Necessities you can see it's got a lot of distressed denim on it you can still see
the original Nike Swoosh underneath it but they customized it the coloration the distressed denim
on it it's got the yellowing on the on the sole for it it's really it's really crazy shoe it put
a lot of work into it it's a lot of detail on this shoot i had no idea how we get it because
the store is in Las Vegas and i'm not going to Nevada anytime soon because of quarantine but he
was kind enough to send me this shoe so even with everything that's going on you're still capable
to get fresh shoes it's a little bit harder but chasing down shoes is something that we
in the sneaker community do anyway all day long see if we can get these Guavas
close but no cigar but I brought some stuff that is so exclusive that even this store that
has like some of the most exclusive shoes in the world they don't even have so i've brought
a couple of pairs and we'll walk you through this is the Jordan 2 this is the Suit And Tie edition,
Legends Of Summer it has two different names the inside says Suit And Tie basically uh when Jay-Z
and Justin Timberlake made the Suit And Tie song and went on tour together Jordan created some
shoes just for them so these were never available in retail the inserts actually say Suit And Tie so
this one says "Suit And" and this one says "Tie" I know a lot of different sneaker collectors
and they all have like very exclusive stuff i'm like the only guy I know that has this.
The beauty about the sneaker community right is that it brings people who would never know
each other who would never be around each other would never socialize with each other
into a common place in a common area under a common theme - sneakers it doesn't matter
if you're liberal, conservative, white, black, straight, gay, male, female, young, old, foreign,
domestic...it doesn't really matter, sneakers are probably a part of your life in some form
or fashion. This shoe is very special this is the Eminem x Carhartt 4 so these shoes were designed
for the Eight Mile premiere they made these for Eight Mile if you've seen the movie he wears a lot
of Carhartt in the movie but um for some reason they didn't release 'em when the movie released
they kind of held back on 'em and basically they were just sitting around like 150 pair
of these shoes so what they did was they auctioned off five pair but then Paul Rosenberg who runs
Shady Records for Eminem was still sitting around with an office full of these shoes
and so he called Jordan brand's like hey let's, let's seed people for, for Christmas these shoes
so this was the Christmas present I got from Shady Records and Jordan. Like when I was growing
up like I said we didn't have a lot of money so I would, we would shop out of Payless you know so I
would have Pro Wings on whatever right and that would pretty much tell you i didn't have a lot
of money but if I pull up now and I got on like off-white Chicago colorway 1s right then that lets
you know not only do I have money, I have access so the shoes do a good job of explaining who you
are without you even having to say anything. This last shoe this is a really really unique shoe so
this summer ESPN did the documentary the last dance about Chicago Bulls the last episode they
showed this shoe. Jordan brand seeded this shoe to certain people in time for them to have it
when the last episode aired so this is the Jordan Center Court beautiful shoe this is the one shoe I
haven't really gotten to wear yet. I'm gonna wear it but i'm saving it for like a suit and that's
never retailed this never really came out so they made it and they presented it but they never
sold it so i'm waiting for the right thing like a wedding or something like that to pull these out.
It's an entry point to a conversation and getting to know people us at a time where a lot of people
are not mixing with people that they normally wouldn't mix with, it gives us an opportunity
to still be able to commune with fellow humans right and basically take away everything else that
everyone is arguing about in the world because one thing you can't argue is a fresh pair of
shoes if they're fresh clean that's what they are there's no division over that I mean I mean i'm
wearing a Cement 3 right like i don't care who you are where you're from this is a fresh shoe
it doesn't matter what kind of shoes you're into right like if i'm wearing this or I
see somebody with this it automatically tells me that this is one of my people.
