Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

Speaker 3: The counterfeit market I've actually read is actually booming and
Speaker 3: they've become really good. Like you said, sometimes you can't
Speaker 3: even tell the difference between counterfeit, So is that all
Speaker 3: coming out of like China or is it counter fits
Speaker 3: like just all over everywhere at this point, and you
Speaker 3: just really don't know because they said, like sometimes you
Speaker 3: really don't even know if it's if it's real or Notough.
Speaker 4: I think they sees like it was like a seventeen
Speaker 4: million dollar season at the border, like they got a
Speaker 4: shipment of just fake Jordan's seventeen million do that it
Speaker 4: was crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they are mostly from China. I'm not
Speaker 5: super familiar with it because we completely stay away from it.
Speaker 5: There's been other sneaker YouTube channels that have dove much
Speaker 5: deeper into that, where you know, maybe they'll compare a
Speaker 5: real pair and a fake pair or try to educate
Speaker 5: people in that regard or whatever. So they've got their
Speaker 5: hands on the fake pairs, but we don't really do
Speaker 5: anything in that regard. But yeah, I think I guess
Speaker 5: they've got you know, Big Fact three is over in
Speaker 5: China and they're getting better and better at at making
Speaker 5: them look damn near identical.
Speaker 3: Well, they probably make them in the same factor they
Speaker 3: make the real ones. Prob they're because it's like this,
Speaker 3: it's a factory in China that's making the real ones.
Speaker 3: So what's the difference between They'll just put summerside for fake.
Speaker 3: They actually probably aren't real.
Speaker 4: Now, this dude's making billion. They had Advice had a
Speaker 4: whole show on the fake retail market.
Speaker 2: This dude's making millions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's making millions of dollars and everybody knows it.
Speaker 4: But the thing is, like, yo, I could just fit
Speaker 4: in with this fifteen pair of fifteen dollars pair of sneakers,
Speaker 4: or I could have the one hundred and eighty dollar
Speaker 4: pair sneakers. They don't look the same, and when I
Speaker 4: walk out the side, you're not going to know difference anyway.
Speaker 3: Now, But that you know what. That's crazy though what
Speaker 3: you said as far as like predicting events, because that
Speaker 3: reminds me of the stock Like we look at we
Speaker 3: buy stock and were like iPhone thirteen is about to
Speaker 3: come out, so we predict that Apple's stock price is
Speaker 3: going to go out. It's all an educated guest. We
Speaker 3: don't really know it not, So I never really looked
Speaker 3: at it as far as sneaker is in the same capacity.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you could say, okay, like let's say that
Speaker 3: you know, Lebron decides he's going to retire after this season,
Speaker 3: then the last sneaker that he puts out hypothetically could
Speaker 3: be more valuable because he's not gonna put ot anything.
Speaker 4: That literally happened this year with the untimely death of
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant. Yeah, so like Kobe pass. And now if
Speaker 4: you try to get any Kobe shoe, any of the
Speaker 4: thirteen or fourteen ones he put out, they're over four
Speaker 4: hundred dollars each. Like whereas when he was alive and playing,
Speaker 4: that wasn't the case, like you could buy a Kobe
Speaker 4: shoe outside like the Kobe Nines. When he came out
Speaker 4: the high Top and it changed, it was like it
Speaker 4: was affordable to do. And now it's like, yo, four
Speaker 4: hundred dollars at the minimum.
Speaker 3: So but Mike, let me let me ask you this,
Speaker 3: what is the How does sneakers actually get value? Because
Speaker 3: to me, it's looking if he's like I said, I'm
Speaker 3: not a sneakerhead, but I saw you did a review
Speaker 3: on your on your page a few days ago with
Speaker 3: the off white something off white OZ. Yeah, it looked
Speaker 3: it looked like it was it was a dope sneaker
Speaker 3: to me. But she was like, you can actually get
Speaker 3: it for a cheaper price now, So it seems to
Speaker 3: me like the randomnest sneakers just go up crazy, Like,
Speaker 3: is there like a rhyme or reason to why sneakers
Speaker 3: are valued at what they're valued on the secondhand market.
Speaker 5: I think it's just what the consumer kind of pushes
Speaker 5: it to and or lets it drop to. You know,
Speaker 5: it really is, and that's why sometimes you'll see people,
Speaker 5: you know, complaining about prices, and even me sometimes I'm like, man,
Speaker 5: I can't I want that sneaker, but I'm not going
Speaker 5: to pay that. But it's us who set the market.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: It's supply and demand like anything else. And obviously certain
Speaker 5: sneaker releases are more limited, so already the supply is low,
Speaker 5: so then if the demand is even up a little bit,
Speaker 5: it's going to be something. It's going to reflect that
Speaker 5: in the resell price of the sneaker. So it's it
Speaker 5: is something that's pretty hard to predict. Like I said,
Speaker 5: it's not to me, it would be a headache, you know,
Speaker 5: Like I know, if if that's something that you're doing
Speaker 5: for a living, which I know plenty of people who
Speaker 5: do do that and do very well for themselves. But
Speaker 5: to me, that would be. It's too wishy washy for me.
Speaker 5: It's too like I like to.

Speaker 5: A little bit more certain about stuff, and so it's
Speaker 5: it is really tough to predict sometimes.
Speaker 2: But you know, if you.
Speaker 5: Really have your ear to the street, so to speak,
Speaker 5: and by that I mean just really on social media,
Speaker 5: because that's what things are these days, you can kind
Speaker 5: of feel it starting to bubble, you know, like these
Speaker 5: nikesb sneakers. You know, Nike skateboarding is something that several
Speaker 5: years ago were really popular, and then over the past
Speaker 5: few years they kind of got stagnant. No one really
Speaker 5: wanted them other than people who were skating in them,
Speaker 5: but they had no resell value, and now over the
Speaker 5: last year or so, it's just bananas. Like it was
Speaker 5: a pair that I had, and they were reselling for
Speaker 5: like two grand and retails like a hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: So it's but.
Speaker 5: About a year ago, you could feel it start to bubble,
Speaker 5: you know, you could people were talking about them more,
Speaker 5: were posting more. You could see you could see the
Speaker 5: resell prices kind of climbing a little bit, the releases
Speaker 5: being a little bit more hyped up, the sneaker blogs
Speaker 5: covering the stuff more, and so you can you can
Speaker 5: feel it start to bubble. It's not like a complete
Speaker 5: shot in the dark, but it is something that you
Speaker 5: got to really be in tune with if if that's
Speaker 5: how you're going to make your money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the SB, I'm glad you brought that up
Speaker 4: because the SB obviously, and we're going to talk about
Speaker 4: the Ben and Jerry that you got. We need to
Speaker 4: talk about that because I saw the post. We're gonna
Speaker 4: talk about that. We got to talk about that. But
Speaker 4: the SB has, like you said, like a year ago,
Speaker 4: came back and I feel like it was a Travis
Speaker 4: Scott effect, Like that's the power of influence. Like every
Speaker 4: time Travis Scott woul put on the ASB, whether it
Speaker 4: was the Diamond or the ones he made you would
Speaker 4: see that shoe go up. But prior to that, I think,
Speaker 4: and maybe you can add to this, the one that
Speaker 4: changed the way sneakers looked at I think it has
Speaker 4: to be the SB Pigeon.
Speaker 5: No, well, I mean that was that was one of
Speaker 5: the first sneakers that really created like a real, real craze,
Speaker 5: you know, and so yes, but I think there's been
Speaker 5: an ebb and flow to sneakers, and I mean, really
Speaker 5: everything goes that way, but it's the things will be
Speaker 5: sky high and then you know, they'll kind of gradually
Speaker 5: slide back down and then something will happen where it
Speaker 5: booms again. And I think what you said about Travis
Speaker 5: Scott is is I think you really nailed it on
Speaker 5: the head, you know, especially now social media, Like I
Speaker 5: think that that's the ingredient that took sneakers from a
Speaker 5: much more niche really much smaller group of people that
Speaker 5: really really cared about it and really took it to
Speaker 5: where it's at now. I mean social and a big
Speaker 5: part of that social media is, like you said, the
Speaker 5: Travis Scotts of the world, the celebrities. You know, You've
Speaker 5: got Kylie uh Jenner on on wearing sb's and you
Speaker 5: know a lot of sneaker people were upset because they
Speaker 5: were like, oh, she's not.
Speaker 2: You know, she's getting them for free.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, and like, yo, she's she's new to this.
Speaker 5: And but the truth of the matter is they still
Speaker 5: have incredible influence. And when people start seeing that stuff
Speaker 5: on Instagram and they start saying, I want that sneaker,
Speaker 5: I want that one, and and you know, now they're
Speaker 5: on stock x or now they're you know, searching to
Speaker 5: you know, where they can find the sneaker. And so
Speaker 5: celebrities have really boomed things in my opinion, and Instagram specifically,
Speaker 5: and you know, just social media in general.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: My graduates from my school being false bad drop drop,
Speaker 3: drop bagdrop.
