what's up with you guys i'm out here in boston right now i'm with my guy grant and he's going
to take us through his sneaker collection and show you what it's like to be a sneaker head
in high school i think he has a lot to offer so let's go ahead and check it out
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you did not
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already make sure you hit that
subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload a new video
and make sure you hit that like button because that helps out so much so we're here in boston
i've been waiting for so long we've been talking about doing this plenty of times in the past
and now we finally got an opportunity my name's grant i'm 17 here in boston
i make youtube videos and photography and stuff like that around sneakers and clothes and that
and all that so uh yeah so you know i want to just like see what it's all about i went through
the same thing being a sneaker collector back in high school my foot size changing from coming in
freshman year 10 and a half to them being a 13 my sophomore year and then thinking my foot was going
to continue to grow buying shoes not knowing what to buy and all these different things all right
so this is where the video gets interesting for some reason the mic decided to shut off
and i don't know why so there's about two minutes of the video that i'm gonna have to narrate for
you guys and tell you what we were talking about and then the audio will start working again so
please bear with me so at this point i'm asking him about his first shoes and what got him started
into sneaker collecting in the first place and it goes way back to when he was a younger kid and he
started collecting when he was wearing youth sizes so this was before he had even got to high school
one of his first sneakers that he had that he really really cherished was his bread fours and
he told me a lot of good stories about those and how he got him and he was excited to still have
him in his collection and then he talked about some of his basketball sneakers that he loved
as well because he loved playing basketball and if you check out his channel you can see he got
some skills so here he talked about the christmas lebrons and then the elite lebrons and how he got
these elite lebrons for like 20 bucks at a sneaker event and he still had them to this day and he was
happy to still have him and also his kobe's he loved to hoop in those as well they're used sized
so he can't wear him anymore but he still plans on keeping him for a long time i saw that he had
a pair of 23s in his collection as well and i had really appreciated that simply because everybody
wants jordan's one through 13. so it's dope to see a little bit of change up especially some higher
numbers in people's collections then we took it over to the adidas wall and honestly i'm not mad
that the audio cut out on this section because you know how i feel about yeezys i'm not the biggest
fan of them so he showed us a couple yeezys from his collection and how he had different variations
and why he liked these certain colorways in particular and we talked about his ultra boost and
his nmds and how he used to rock those last summer all the time and he has plenty of pairs that are
beat up a bunch of different colorways and stuff like that so oh and we touched on the crocs
oh the crocs all right i think the audio should be working by now so let's go ahead and finish this
video up so i see you got some uh 500 subs right here tell me a little bit about that
so this was back when i hit 500 subscribers on my channel i got a pair of all white bands
and at the time like i wrote all my videos that i had made so all the titles yeah all the titles so
you got 500 subs on the back and just like looking at each one obviously each shoe is different and
it just like brings back memories of like the basketball videos and stuff like that so i never
actually wore these i think i just put them on for the video but yeah i'm never gonna get rid
of these thus far so if you guys haven't already again make sure you subscribe to his channel the
link is down below in the description i have a pen in the comment section as well for you guys
but we got some more shoes to look at so let's keep it going because i see some travis scott
joints up in here and some little full guy guys i don't even want to talk about those but we're
going to talk about them in a second because i got some opinions so show me the travis all right so
we got two pairs the sale air forces or what were the sail air forces and then i dipped item green
um i made a video on that and like basically it's just dip dye and you soak them in there
and i think they came in yeah you can see the other pair like with the little patch on it
and then we got the fours got these for like 300 bucks when they were going for like around good
times and now they're obviously at like a k now so um got the sole protector on these actually um
just so they don't yellow but that's what's up and then yeah yeah mochas i got three pairs of these
for retail this is the personal pair that i wear the size 10 and then we got a ds size 8 up here
and are you waiting to sell those or what's that yeah so i as you guys can see i got a size eight
nine and ten okay i don't know how i got so lucky but uh yeah i sold the nine like the day after
so i basically like got these for free because i made the profit back yep and then
i was like these are probably just going to go up and obviously they have since then
um so i don't know probably sell these in the summer if they go up so now talk to me about
being in high school and being able to afford this stuff and everything like that because everybody
always says typically when you're younger and you got a lot of shoes parents got it all for you and
all these different things but it's like you had to work for your shoes you had to get them too so
tell us about that yeah so as i said with youtube i was i started like four years ago and i got my
channel monetized like really soon after i started because the second video i did like
got me past that view count and all that i think it's changed right now but that and then i work
during the summers full time so that off obviously you know gets a good amount for shoes and stuff
um and then photography doing different sheets for clients and stuff um and then just reselling also
like as i said i got the or i got the size nine sold it and i'm able to like afford the size 10.
um and then yeah just different things like that multiple sources of income um help get shoes and
that was that was kind of a big thing for me back in high school too it was like i was a collector
first but i resold to build my collection yeah and i feel like a lot of people especially in
high school do that and that's what kind of gets them into reselling sneakers just because they
want to be able to afford to get the sneakers that they want for their collection or like you said
i got this shoe for free now because i sold these two and i got that one so i think that's the easy
way for a lot of people to grow their collection is by trying to get multiple pairs if they can
or if they can get to that point and then once they get there now they can be able to afford to
save and keep these expensive sneakers and not have to sell the shoes because it's worth a
thousand dollars but they're like cool i can still have this in my collection but now tell me about
these fakes though okay because you know i ain't rocking with it but i see people is and i ain't
mad at you yes i understand where people's going these are the bouquets or fugazi um jordan ones
obviously looks like the neutral grays that just released and came out way back in the day
um and yeah the brand is fugazi as you guys can see there's like different hits there's
like a um revolver and like different outsole i don't know i just like them
i thought they were cool something different um but i can definitely see where people come from
it's like a fake shoe um and then like obviously with the warren lotus thing and all that yeah
i don't know i think this was the only pair that i actually like that's like fake so
i don't know i picked them up though i'm cool i'm definitely like again
i'm not opposed to it for other people doing it for me i just like i gotta stick with what
i know or what i just i don't know i feel like if it was maybe like the nmd came to be a shoe and
like yeah it's all these things it's like okay that's a new model by this brand but somebody's
just like taking from something else yeah yeah so for me i'll be like i can't do it i can't
do it but i respect it though it looks like they got solid materials yeah the materials clear the
box up here it's like magnetic and all that bunch of different like lace tips so it looks like they
definitely came correct what's the retail price on the shoe though i think retail is like 170
okay so it's around the jordan price they're like 180 something like that okay now they're going for
like 400 um fake shoes dealing for full honey yeah it's crazy that's all i'm just saying bro that's
crazy that's crazy so we got a couple more nike bangers on this side talk to me about these shoes
real quick and i mean this one kind of hits home for you right yeah so we got the uh green lobsters
here obviously from concepts concepts started out in boston um and funny story with these i don't
have the box or i think the box is like downstairs but i got these and the it was a special box so it
has like the glass um topping and it just came i opened it up and it was shattered
uh so you know paying a shoe like paying a lot for a shoe like this and then seeing the box shattered
kind of hurt but yeah these are fire i really want the purple ones right um another pair of dunks
that champ colors these actually don't go for much anymore um they went down a lot a lot of people
thought they were going to go up but i don't know i like them pretty good materials are nice
um off-white prestos the white pair these get dirty super easily i originally bought them
because i wanted to dip down like i did the uh the forces i just like them a lot and uh
yeah i don't think i'm gonna die on anytime soon if you were to dye those what color would you dye
them i was planning on blue blue yeah okay i was thinking purple so that's yeah purple or like uh
yeah then we got the cactus plant flea market fire um air forces really like these i like the um
like the different designs that they did with the um you could customize them basically i
don't know like any other drop that people do that with and you can you know different
pairs came in red and blue and other things like that um but yeah this is the all quality is nice
quality is nice it's there for sure the touch of these feels good i just like this a lot um
and then let's see what else yeah pharrell's um this was like besides for the belugas this is
the first pair of shoes that i actually saved up for because at the time they're going for
like 350 400 and uh yeah probably never going to get rid of these just because it represents like
i don't know i think it was like the first youtube check that i got and i spent it on this
i like liked i see you got some little baby stuff right here got your other stuff organized over
here on this side and everything so it looks like you're keeping everything pretty organized i like
that uh where do you see the collection going over the next couple years especially when you get a
little bit older and you're not able to afford to buy more probably just more shoes honestly like
i'm running out of space there's a lot of the old shoes that i probably would get rid of soon
um just to make space for more stuff and uh hopefully my shoe size doesn't grow
or i don't grow out of these because that would be bad i went through that struggle
bro i know exactly how you feel okay so we're gonna have him pick out his top five favorite
sneakers i'm not worried about monetary value at all i want to know what are his favorite shoes
in his collection and why so i'm gonna have him pick those out and we'll see you guys in
a second all right so probably these aren't really in any order but one is the mochas
the only jordan one besides for the fugazis but like the only official jordan one in my collection
um need to get more pairs but i really like these a lot um and then next just these because of the
story not only is it like a fire shoe but also just you know dying them and it was risky you
know if i messed up it would have been bad but i'm glad that i didn't and uh yeah i really like these
and then just another shoe i've been wanting these for so long really mad that i didn't get them when
they were at like 300 bucks because now they're at like a thousand dead stock or more um but yeah i
really like these and i think that they just go with a lot um and then these as i said before i
got them for like 300 bucks and now they're going for so much and besides for just the like value
of them i just really like the colorway and um a fan of travis scott obviously so like this one
and then next the prestos wear these a lot and it's just a fire shoe you know i can't
go wrong with it so i hope you guys enjoyed this video i had a great time going through
