WEBVTT - Episode 26 - Quarantine Sneakers Update 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.440 What's going on, guys. Welcome to another episode of Legit Check. 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:08.080 I'm your host, Easy Busta who it's uh. It's been 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.039 a rough couple of weeks, and every week we just 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:17.079 get more and more. You know, I hope that things 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.520 are going to open back up. And you know, we've 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.159 had a couple of sneaker releases, which is good, and 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.479 a couple of updates on some sneakers, so that means 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.400 that slowly things are starting to get better because everything 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:34.160 was getting delayed indefinitely, which is really really sad um. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.120 Last week we had the drop of the Air Jordan 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.920 five fire reds, and you know, they're actually reselling a 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.519 little bit. And I didn't think that they would resell 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.879 because they had like a shock drop kind of like 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.040 a couple of weeks before and they sat for a while, 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.559 and now this time they sold out and I think 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.360 they're going for about fifty to eighty dollars over retail, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.200 which is, you know, not bad, but you know, with 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.160 tax and everything, you end up only making like thirty bucks. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:07.160 But still it's great fire Red obviously classic color way. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.000 I think maybe part of the reason why that shoe 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.240 is doing so well is because of the Michael Jordan's 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.119 documentary that has been playing over the last few weeks. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.920 A lot of people have been watching, and a lot 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.520 of sneakers have been going crazy because that like the 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.280 Jordan one Chicago's, which used to be like a seven 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.120 to eight hundred dollar shoes now going for like thirteen 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.000 right after the episodes of The Last Dance came out 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.119 came out, I think that's what it's called. It's called 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.440 The Last Dance. I'm pretty sure. I'm not exactly sure. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.440 I actually haven't watched it, and I have made it 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.240 a goal of mine to watch the whole series all 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.000 the way through. I definitely should, I should keep up 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.639 to date on my Jordan's history. But I have enjoyed 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.440 all the memes that have come out of it thus far, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.600 and I'm sure I'll understand them more when actually start 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.480 watching it. So definitely on my to do list for Quarantine. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.760 But I hope all you guys are doing well back 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.840 at home. I know it's a real rough time right 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.280 now for everybody. It's not just for you guys, it's 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.119 you know, for me and for pretty much everyone I know, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.800 and um, the least I could do is just give 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.680 you guys some content, and your boy hasn't posted again 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.720 in a month. I told myself I wouldn't do that again, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.040 but I'm kind of a perfectionist with everything, and whenever 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.600 I make a video, I will literally scrap it on 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.840 the spot if I don't even like like one small 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.440 part of it. And it's really frustrating because I'll film 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.000 and edit for hours and then I'll end up not 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.720 liking it and I have to scrap the whole thing 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.840 and that's literally just like ten, ten fifteen hours just wasted. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.440 So I apologize, but we'll be getting on the content 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.160 grind coming soon. But I'm really happy that you guys 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.000 are tuning in every week for legit check. It makes 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.400 me really happy that you guys are listening. We have 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.560 gotten a absurd amount of new listeners. Shout out to 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.440 all you guys. I appreciate you guys, and they will 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.200 be and you give away coming soon. So for everyone 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.440 that's listening, that's here from the giveaway that I did 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.000 on YouTube for the Off White Fives. The winner will 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:17.399 actually be announced this weekend. I think if the day 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.919 I'm recording this makes sense, then it should be announced 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.079 this weekend. So shout out to all you guys who 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.600 downloaded the podcast, because this was one of the main 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.200 parts of the giveaway, and I hope you guys stick 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.120 around and actually, you know, enjoy and listen to the podcast, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.560 especially during these hard times. If you guys are just 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.040 chilling at home and getting some work done and you 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.480 guys just wanna hear me talk about sneakers and kind 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320 of like the world as a whole, then make sure 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.560 you guys tune in. But this week has been not 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.400 the most eventful week in sneakers besides the fire Reds 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.960 of course. Um some Jordans are going up. I noticed, 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.760 like bred ones are going up, and um some I 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.080 forgot what else is going up, But like just because 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.520 of the last days, and one sneaker that I'm so 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.880 excited for it is dropping at the end of this month, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.880 Fingers Crossed is the Chunky Donkey Nike sp So it 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:15.880 is a collab that Nike is doing with Ben and Jerry's. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.760 I love Ben and Jerry's I always have And as 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.479 you guys can tell by how thick I am, I 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.920 love Ben and Jerry's a little bit too much. So 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.119 I think that Wow, I definitely I'm gonna get clowned 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.920 for that. But anyway, Um, the Chunky Donkeys are coming 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.679 out at the end of May, which is not confirmed yet, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.960 I think, but they were actually supposed to come out 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.240 at the beginning of May and they never dropped. And 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.240 I guess the only sneaker releases that really happened over 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.359 the last few weeks were the fire Reads and some 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:53.760 gr stuff and then the um the four twenty like 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.760 reverse skunks. I don't know exactly what they're calling them, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.200 but I mean, I guess there are a reverse skunks, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.479 and I think that's like the best way to describe them. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.240 But those shoes are going for astronomical amounts of money. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.080 They're going for four to five thousand dollars, which blows 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.120 my mind. I mean, it doesn't make sense though, because 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.800 they're so limited. There's only four pairs because of the 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.000 holiday four twenty, which is kind of funny to me. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.320 Um that Nike makes the shoe every year for weed. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.839 I actually I don't smoke myself, so I don't partake 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.719 in those activities, but I think that the sneaker that 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.599 comes out in four twenty every year is normally pretty dope, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.360 so I'll give them that. That's my celebration of four twenties, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.240 like looking at new sneakers and hopefully trying to get them. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.960 But the reverse gunks are sick. I can't believe they're 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.560 going for that much money. I really thought that they 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.360 would go for like, you know, one to two thousand 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.400 because of how rare they are. But I mean, as 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.719 bees are so hype right now that you know things 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.600 can go for pretty much anything, like it's it's it's crazy. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.039 I have some as Bees that I bought for I 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.000 think three to four hundred dollars and now they're going 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.240 for for over like hundred to two thousand dollars, which 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.440 actually blows my mind, like crazy. I I bought them 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.200 not thinking that they were going to be an investment. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.040 I bought them because I genuinely liked them. I'm like, well, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.440 these are like sick. I I have a feeling that 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.640 like these are gonna be the next thing, and what 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.800 do you know, Like the Stuicy Dunks, for example, I 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.000 bought those for four so that's like the most expensive 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.920 sp I bought, and those are going for I think 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.720 two thousand in my size. And then um, another shoe 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.560 that I bought was the Uncle Dunk shout out my 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.919 boy Ryan Cooper for who give me up on those? 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.800 If you're listening, UH appreciates you. I got those for 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.480 fift hundred, which is actually pretty a pretty good price 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.440 considering now they go for three thousand. I bought Papa 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.919 Bear Nike Highs, nikesb Highs for how much did I 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.480 buy those four? I think I bought them for six hundred. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.680 I think how much I bought them, and I think 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.839 those are going for twelve hundred now, Like it's crazy. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.960 Sbs are going through the roof and I have no 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.880 intention of selling any of my shoes. I I've worn 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.960 most of them, but it's just like crazy to me. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.880 And I bought them at a good time, so you know, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:14.440 I was pretty happy about that. There's only one SB 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.680 that I actually bought for an investment, just because I 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.440 wanted to test the market and see exactly like how 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.920 it works. Because everyone's always saying like, no matter what 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.200 Travis Scott wears, it's gonna go up, which for the 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.720 most part, it has been true. Like even like the 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.280 Stuicy I don't even know what they're called. I gotta 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.120 look this up because this is gonna bother me. But 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.560 literally Um, they're kind of an ugly shoe. Honestly. I 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.960 mean I think it's cool, but it's a very like 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:48.400 dad looking shoe that I did not expect people to like. Um, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.640 it's a very like New Balance E looking shoe, but 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.280 I don't know. I think it was cool, but it 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.520 was kind of ugly at the same time, it was 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.840 the Nike air Zoom Spirid Dawns. So it's the stucy 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.560 fossil color ways of the Cage two or whatever. Now 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.640 that should dropped for a hundred and sixty dollars and 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.000 it's going for three four hundred bucks because Travis warre 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.520 him and I think there's a new color way coming out, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.000 which I don't really like as much. But anyway, getting 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.600 back on track, like pretty much everything he wears people 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.680 go crazy for, so he's like the big you know, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.000 everything hype is around him. So one thing that I 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.040 decided to do kind of as a social experiment, um 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:31.880 as soon as Travis or the Nike Bucks. So the 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:36.559 Nike uh okay, yes, the Nike dunk as b Low Bucks. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.800 So I actually had a pair of Bucks before this picture. 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.720 I genuinely thought they were so dope. Green is my 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.880 favorite color, and he has b or a sneaker that 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.120 has green on it. I will probably buy it just 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.360 because of the color. And like, I love green. Um, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.960 it's not my favorite. Shaded green, military green or olive 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.040 green or whatever you guys want to call it is 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.040 my favorite. But I had a pair of those that 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.640 I had worn, and those shoes are from two thousand 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:07.200 and two, I want to say, or two thousand three, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.320 I think I think it might be two thousand three. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:16.080 And um, they were going for I think, um, how 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.880 much were they going for? When I bought my pair, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.520 I bought them for like two fifty, so like almost nothing. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.200 And and then when Travis war him for he warm 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.040 in an Instagram photo and I was like, oh, Dawn, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.040 like these are about to go up. So as a 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.160 social experiment, I went on and go and I bought 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.360 five pairs, just like five random sizes like that minute 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.040 and I bought five pairs and I just kept them 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.960 in my room. And now let's see how much they're 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.520 going for. I think I bought each pair for like 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.760 three fifty or something like that. Now, um, the lowest 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.920 I could sell them for is eight fifty, which is 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.360 crazy to me. And some of the smaller sizes, I 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.559 can sell them for like up to which is insane. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.000 So guys like certain as bees are always going to 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.360 be hot, like the bucks have like some history behind them. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.120 I'm pretty sure that I can't remember the exact history 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.080 behind the Buck, but I think that here let's see, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.000 let's let's have some little like sneaker history lesson. Let's 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.000 have a little sneaker history lesson right now. So let's 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:24.480 see S B dunk Low Buck. So I I'm pretty 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:30.200 sure that um that, like I think Phil Knight designed 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.480 them or something. It was like his favorite true or something. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.160 I can't remember, but okay, let's read the dunk Low 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.080 pro as B. Buck pays tribute to Nike co founder 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.480 Phil Knight, who's alma mater of the University of Oregon, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.920 inspires the shoes green and yellow color way. The heel 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.679 tab features in brodery of the name Buck, a nickname 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.560 that's stuck with Knight from childhood to college. Okay, so 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.440 I was a little bit off, but it was inspired 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.679 by the by Oregon's colorway, so green and yellow, and 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.720 then I had the word Buck, which was Phil Knight's nickname, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.679 which is really really cool. And that's weird because on 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.959 on stock X it says they came out in two 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:12.120 thousand three, but on go To assays two thousand and four. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.600 So let's see who's right. I'm actually I'm not sure. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.360 Let me go take a look at my pair and 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.520 see what the production date was, because they should probably 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.600 say that on the inside. On this one. I'm just kidding. 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.480 Of course they say that. So the production date is 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.840 two thousand and three, so October three, so that means 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.880 they probably dropped two thousand four. And it says they 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.400 dropped on New Year, so January one, two thousand four, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.319 So I think it is correct in this one, unless 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.480 I don't know, maybe there's a friends and family thing 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.360 that dropped before that. But on my parent at least 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.040 that says they dropped in they were created at the 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.160 end of two thousand and three, so that's true. It 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.360 was a little um kind of social experiment. I wouldn't 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.480 say social experiment, I'd say an investing experiment. And that's 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.360 something that I want to show you guys, because I 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.120 think it's really important for people to not only like 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.880 obviously like collecting sneakers is a big thing, like everyone 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.720 loves their shoes. I love my shoes. I have such 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.480 a hard time selling anything in my collection and I 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.920 really don't have any intention of selling anything, especially if 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.880 it's in my size. I have some shoes that are 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.280 not in my size that I have gotten rid of, um, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.960 just because I'm like, you know, why do I even 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.200 need the shoe. There's only a couple of shoes that 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:30.800 are not in my size that I will never sell 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.280 just because of like a sentimental value or you know 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.600 where I got them, and uh, like here, I'll give 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.080 you guys an example. So I went to Astra world 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:46.560 Fest this year, or I guess, and um, I was 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.720 there with my boy Andre. He's the one who hooked 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.079 it up with some passes. So shout out to Dre 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.760 a k Croatian style and um, we went to the 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.960 concert amazing. We had like v I p every thing backstage. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.280 It was done. We had, we had a great time. Um, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.240 it was really cool to see um Check West, Don Toliver, 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.360 um all them goos. It was cool, like, um, they're 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.480 frequent like clients of ours and um, so like it 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.000 was cool to see them. And then obviously Travis, Um, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.240 I saw Kylie. There a lot of people didn't think 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.640 she was gonna be there because it was like right 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.920 when the scandal was going on. But um, anyway, so 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.760 the concert was great. It went great, and then the 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.760 day after we decided to visit Um Travis's new store. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:43.599 It's called Space Village, and UM basically Blitz had um 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.840 Blitz had given Travis like a hundred thousand dollars in 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.719 supreme to sell at the store, and so we went 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.079 to go check it out. Blah blah blah. And when 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.440 we were there, UM, it was like a friends and 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.040 family only thing, like at first and then after they 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.680 opened it up to the public, but it was like 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.640 in possible to get into the store. But they were 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.640 selling pretty much all of travis Is sneakers for retail, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.960 which was crazy. And I ended up getting a pair 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.000 of Travis Scott Jordan once um in a size nine 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.920 and a half. The actually didn't have my size, which 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.400 was funny, but I got a nine and a half 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.839 And I don't think I'll ever saw that shoe just 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.720 because I got it from like Travis's store, and it 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.320 actually means something, you know what I mean. Maybe a 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:23.640 lot of you guys will think I'm weird, but I 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.640 just feel like the like there is a sentimental value 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:33.480 about sneakers, Like certain shoes I won't wear until I 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.520 have a reason to wear them, you know, certain shoes 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.240 like I'll just like I'll get them and I'll be 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.160 so excited about them that I'll just bust them out 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.240 the box and I'll just like put them on my 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.000 feet right away. But there are certain shoes where I'm like, 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.120 you know what, I'm gonna wait until this concert, or 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.440 I'm aa wait until I meet up with this person 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.960 or I go to this event, or like whatever. So 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.000 I think it's important for people to have like, um, 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.640 deeper meaning behind their sneakers. Um. There are some people 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.200 who literally just keep them in their room and just 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.040 stare at them all day. Like. I don't have any 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.920 issue with that. I don't have any issue with people 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.120 wearing their shoes to the ground. I know both types 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.040 of people. I would say I'm a little bit in between. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.920 I definitely don't wear my shoes into the ground. Yeah 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.760 I do. I have certain shoes that I do, But 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.240 for the most part, I take a really good care 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.360 of my sneakers. UM A lot of the times after 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.040 I wear them, all clean them, especially if it's like 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.560 a parent that means a lot to me. Um. But 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.200 I think the reason why wearing your shoes and having 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.440 a sort of sort of story behind them, it just 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.280 makes them that much more special, you know, like I 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.800 wore these shoes when I met this person or when 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.360 I went to this event or like whatever. Like it 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.160 really like adds so much to the shoe. It's not 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.200 just like a like a physical possession anymore. It's like 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.120 a part of your life, which I think is so cool. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.000 And that's kind of why I love sneakers so much, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.120 because every sneaker kind of has a story behind it, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.560 you know, um, the designer or I mean, like that's 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.280 especially why I love sps. I know at this a 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.520 million times, but it's because each shoe has like a 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.040 story behind it, and the Bucks especially, Like that's such 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:11.760 a good dope story. Like Phil Knight, co founder of Nike. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.960 I think he is he the co founder or the founder. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.600 Let's see co founder and current chairman of Nike. So 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.760 let's see who's the founder of Nike. Then I think 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.760 it was definitely him, and then who else? Um? And 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.880 then Bill Bauerman. Wow, that's a name that you don't 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.040 really hear a whole lot. William J. Bill Bowerman was 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.120 an American track and field coach and co founder of Nike. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.400 Over his career, he trained thirty one Olympic athletes, fifty 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.280 one all Americans, for American record holders, twenty two and 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:45.480 c A double A champions in sixteen sub four minute milers. Wow, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:51.240 that is sick, but looks like he passed away in 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.800 So that was like before Nike really really blew up, 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:01.080 which is crazy, that's sad. So but I guess Nike 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:08.680 was founded in UM. That's pretty incredible actually, but Nike 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.760 really really started blowing up in uh wait, no, I'm 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:18.160 tripping Nike was hot in what am I talking about? UM? 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.720 But I would say closer to when the Nike really 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.360 become huge. Well, obviously, you know Michael Jordan's UM started 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:31.639 in UM. That was like the first shoe first Jordan, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.520 and then before that, UM, I don't know how like 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:41.919 the airships obviously the dunks um. Hm hmm, I wonder 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:43.800 I actually don't know. I should read up a little 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.520 bit more on my Nike knowledge. I'm not a Nike encyclopedia, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.920 but I mean it is really interesting. Start should probably 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.760 read up on it. But I think that's so dope 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.760 how they made a shoe with the word buck on it, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.440 because like that's like what his nickname was, and the 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.960 color way of his alma mater, which is Oregon. That's 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.240 why Oregon has all the coolest like peas because because 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.080 that's where Phil Knight went to college and obviously where 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.520 um Nike's headquarters are important in Oregon, so you know, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.480 they we support their home team. The schools that always 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.560 have the best p s are Oregon number one, and 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.679 then U n C because of Jordan's and then um 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.760 Michigan has some really dopees too. I think Florida has 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.879 some six P six ps, like the Gators are like 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.399 the Georgian ones that have like the croc skin on them. 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.359 We're so sick or where was the crocer python? I 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:40.240 can't remember? It was so fire um, but well, yeah, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.600 it's interesting. Like that's why I really think it's important 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:47.040 for people to, you know, have some sort of connection 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.840 to the shoes in a sense, but not too much 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:54.879 because then you become a hoarder like me. Um. But anyway, guys, 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.640 I mean right now, it's really important for you guys 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.920 to understand that you know, if you have any sort 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.720 of money laying around or anything. And I know a 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.919 lot of you guys don't, like I don't either, like 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.399 nobody does. Because of everything that's going on. UM in 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.520 the last two months, I have lost out on I 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.600 can't even begin to tell you guys how much money 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.600 I've lost out on. UM. At the end of the day, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.280 it is my it is my business, and it's important 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.800 for me to travel and go do and like you know, 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.359 make money because it is my business at the end 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.440 of the day. So UM. But you know, I'm blessed 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.440 to be in the position that I am, and I'm 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.480 so thankful for all you guys listening and everybody who 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.359 supports me, because without you, guys like I would be nothing. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.840 So UM, let me just preface it with that. But 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.199 if you guys have any sort of like money, um, 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:48.520 any money that you just want to use, because one 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.600 thing that I think is really bad is that people 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.080 just let money sit in their bank accounts. Obviously, have 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.320 enough money in your bank accounts, pay off your credit cards, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.200 your mortgage, and like car payments like whatever it might be. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.520 But the rest of the money, let it work for you, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.240 let it make you money. I think it's so important, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.240 and I feel like I sound like, um, um, what's 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.280 his name, ty Lopez? Right now? But go get some 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.560 knowledge and invest all your money. I'm just kidding, but um, 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.439 you know, sneakers are a great investment. And that's what 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.000 I was trying to get up when I was talking 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:23.440 about the SPS earlier. I always get sidetracked, and um, 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.879 there's a way that you can exponentially make money from 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.320 your sneakers. Like like I'm telling you some like some 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.040 shoes I spent under fifty dollars on resale by the way, 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.400 Now I didn't get them for retail. I I paid 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.840 like two hundred fifty dollars resale for him, and that 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.840 can sell them for like a thousand dollars after a year. 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.960 So if you think about it, that is a what 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.080 return in a year, which is a hell of a 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.800 lot better than most stocks. That's all I'm gonna say. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.680 You know, like, I think that there's a way to 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.760 kinda get before the wave so you can really see 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.719 like what's gonna be hot. But beside that, I mean, 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.399 obviously you guys can invest your money in like stocks. Um, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.280 I have a portfolio myself I've been investing, and quite frankly, 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.320 I think it's really important for everybody to have UM 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.920 an investment portfolio. And that's why today's sponsor is And 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:22.239 I'm just kidding um no um no sponsor, but UM 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.880 I think that it should you guys should definitely take 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.680 advantage of like all the um the apps that are 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.080 readily available, like at robin Hood or you know, I 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.120 don't use robin Hood myself. I use UM. I'm I'm 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.080
