today we're going to be taking a look at the whatnot app and i'm going to purchase a 500
mystery box just to see if they're legit and if you guys did not know by now my name is dj
and this is the dna show so whatnot is an app that has slowly made its way into the shoe game
they originally started with trading cards and collectible items and with everybody knowing
that sneakers have value as well it makes sense that they added the sneaker category to the app
so with that there comes a lot of questions and the first one is are they legit and how
does it even work so i'm going to pull open the app so you guys can kind of navigate through
it with me real quick just so you have a better basis and understanding on how it functions and
just overall format of the app and everything like that so right here as you can see the categories
it's all kind of based in different categories you got pokemon cards funko pops vintage clothing
baseball cars a bunch of different collectible items that you guys all know you have to go
through a rigorous process to become a verified seller through the whatnot app which we can talk
about in another video but basically these are trusted sources that can guarantee the
authenticity of things and because of that they are able to sell on this app now when we go to
the streetwear section same thing you got some live events coming up right here so if there's
no current live events that are actually active right now that you can click on it shows you hey
so-and-so is going live at 4 30 and then you can actually follow that particular person
and see every time that they go live so now going to the sneakers let's see we got we got one live
event right here limited supply let's click on this and see what they're talking about what's
going on they got a personalized box right here so much but i'm gonna buy it anyway
yo guys i'm gonna tell you a little story so my dumb ass went christmas shopping yesterday
and i couldn't find his phone runner and i went to a store called clicks exclusive
and garden stayed more they had a size a phone runner for 375 i bought it kicks
you get the hit but limited supply has over 300 i'm tight and i can't get a refund back
i need a size eight nine seven so as you can see right here this is a real live thing going
on right now these look like some guys i need to purchase something from so they have a 500
mystery box and that's how much i wanted to spend so i'm gonna go ahead and purchase this
and make sure that this order goes through so now we are good to go we got the order in and now all
we got to do is wait and see if the shoes are legit or not and what they even send us so i've
been navigating on this app for about a month now just kind of checking it out and understanding the
flow and everything like that and seeing who's selling and looking at the in-hand looks of all
the sneakers and i have no worries when it comes to things being legit or not they don't just let
anybody become a seller on there so with that that definitely gives me a lot of confidence but at the
same time i'm still unsure what they're gonna send me in general hopefully there's not no drunk shoes
hopefully you get something solid so i'm gonna check back in with you guys in a couple days or
however long it is and i'll let you guys know how long it took several days later all right
you guys the package has arrived and we have to go over a couple things first based on the
size of this box there has to be at least two to three pairs of shoes in here so because of that
i'm gonna be actually giving you guys a chance to win one of the pairs of shoes from this box
so stick around until the end of the video to find out all the rules and regulations on how to enter
so i put this order in on tuesday the 21st of december obviously we had christmas over this time
so that means there's probably going to be a little bit of delay and my package just arrived
today tuesday the 28th so just based off of that the turnaround time was pretty solid especially
saying that there was christmas in the middle of that so it took about a week for me to get
my shoes once i placed my order the overall cost was 527 after shipping and fees and everything
like that and i don't have tax here in oregon so it could potentially cost you just a little bit
more depending on where you live so with all that being said let's crack this box open and see what
we got bro i'm lowkey excited i don't really do the mystery box thing so let's get into it
oh so the first thing i see in the box right here it looks like a note it says we tried to
find you something you might not have hopefully you enjoy also there is a unreleased limited t
on us limited supply so i actually did do a little bit of research about these guys after i ended up
putting the order in but basically this is a consignment shop out of jersey they definitely
look like they're legit i've never heard of them before but again that doesn't mean anything they
look like they have a good following and a good support group behind them and there's no red flags
when it comes to me checking out their business and if this mystery box goes well we might have
to do another one but if not yeah this is going to be my first and last time shopping with them
so let's get rid of this note and check out this tea real quick see what they got oh
bro this is an older jordan box all right don't don't let me get my hopes up too soon let me just
open up this t real quick bro this is crazy oh i'm not the mystery box type of guy sorry you guys
okay so you got the limited supply t right here with the super mario vibes right here on there
i might have to rock this soon sometime in the future video you know what i'm saying show some
love show some support hey and they got the size correct the extra large and if anybody else out
there in this world want to send me a shirt i'm a size extra large so they're already off to a good
start they threw a shirt in there for me and it's in my size now let's see what we got for
these shoes because bro i'm seeing a box from way back in the day now i don't mean land before time
or anything but these definitely bring back some nostalgic vibes already just looking at the box
okay where do i begin where do i begin should i move this out the way or should
i just open it up and or should i just lift the lid like how should i do this i don't
know i'm just crack the lid open like this and see what we got oh my god oh my god yes
bro bro oh oh oh oh hold on hold on let me let me take a moment real quick
let me take a moment and just take this out and then we're going to get to the next one
because i know there's yep see there's another box in there hold on we go let me just take a moment
this right here you guys is the laser air jordan 5. now you guys remember seeing the laser four
pack with the black and the white pair and everything like that the laser five was a sleeper
and this is actually a sneaker that i used to have in my collection for i'm talking
about since it dropped till like three or four years ago like i literally had this shoe for
years i got rid of this pair because i took the money to go purchase my second property and i
was like one day i'll get them back one day i'll get them back you know in due time this is a shoe
that probably will never retro again and look at this bro this came completely full circle you guys
i'm so happy right now this is crazy this is actually crazy honestly at this point
like whatever i get next i don't even care and y'all not getting these so whatever is next in
the box y'all can have those but these right here this is definitely staying wait actually
hold on let me take that back let me take that back because if it's a more valuable shoe in
there than this one i don't care honestly this is a more sentimental thing but if it is a more
valuable shoe we gonna have to reconsider that one nah i keep my word i keep my word
i'm gonna keep these because these right here i needed these back in my collection so this pair
in particular looks like it was already sitting on the shelf in the store and i actually see a price
tag on the bottom right here and it says 400 size 13 so we're just gonna assume that's the value
based off of the stockx numbers the shoe sold for 550 recently in the past you have offers for 275.
they're asking 400 so i'm gonna give them i'm gonna give them some respect with their price
we're gonna stay with the solid 400 maybe 350 now we'll call it 400. we'll stay with the 400
we're looking good right now okay so now we are on to the next shoe this is a newer jordan box
what's this like a jordan 9 or something i don't know what do we have with this retro
with this this is the old school jordan let me pull it out real quick
get this big box out the way what is inside this box what could it be what could it be i'm gonna
assume it's a jordan nine i'm gonna say like the white and navy nine did they come with this box
that's like not too expensive right i don't know we'll see all right let's let's read the size tag
and see what it is okay size 13 or jordan 7 retro white varsity part oh this is flint seven for
sure definitely playing sevens okay so this ain't bad i just i know i know these don't go for much
i get it i get it if you guys haven't seen the last video i just uploaded yesterday
make sure you go check it out because this is a very unappreciated shoe and this actually brings
me back to my high school nostalgic memories as well because these dropped back in 2006 and now
they got a retro now in 2021 but either way this is a very solid shoe i'm assuming they have a
sticker on the bottom of these i know they're not wrapped up they are currently asking 210
for this sneaker i know that these don't go for as much we're gonna check the stockx numbers and
see on this one i think that might be a little bit overpriced but let's see what it's looking
like online so they're currently listed for 189 on stockx last sale was 155 and as we know
consignment shops can charge a little bit more money because of the convenience and a lot of
other factors so i understand why they have the price point at 210 retail was 190 bucks so 185 i
think is real reasonable and solid and we're gonna go with that so that puts me up 58 off my initial
cost but there is one thing that we cannot forget to mention this shoe right here the sentimental
value priceless simply because this is a dead stock laser 5 in immaculate condition looking
good the midsoles are intact everything is just perfect with this shoe i'm so happy i'm so happy i
got these back bro so like i said i would keep my word either way if the shoe was higher or lower in
value we have the second sneaker being the flint air jordan 7 and now this is your chance to win
