Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys. Welcome back to another episode of
Speaker 1: Legit Check. I'm your host, EASYBUSTA. I'm here with a
Speaker 1: new friend. His name is Peyton Smith. He has a
Speaker 1: pretty incredible story that, um, we're gonna be talking about today.
Speaker 1: But without further ado, why don't you introduce yourself kind
Speaker 1: of tell us where you're from with your story, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear
Speaker 1: your amazing story. My name is Peyton Smith. I am
Speaker 1: eighteen years old. I currently live in Montpelier, Vermont, which
Speaker 1: is the capital of Vermont. And I have been into sneakers.
Speaker 1: I mean really, I've been in a sneakers my entire life,
Speaker 1: but I really got into sneakers way back in like
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve, two thousandt I currently have sixty
Speaker 1: seven pairs of sneakers, ranging from one of ones all
Speaker 1: the way until all the way to regular grs. And
Speaker 1: just a little bit about myself, I A I'm a
Speaker 1: cancer kid. I was diagnosed way back in June. I
Speaker 1: have been pretty much fighting cancer ever since then. I
Speaker 1: am still going through treatment. I went through remission a
Speaker 1: couple of times and it's come back a couple of times,
Speaker 1: which is not always the greatest news. But I've been
Speaker 1: pretty much fighting every day to try to get rid
Speaker 1: of it and live my life to the fullest. Um,
Speaker 1: I am planning. I am graduating in a couple of days,
Speaker 1: which is really awesome, and I am going to go
Speaker 1: to college, and I'm planning on going to college to
Speaker 1: be a sneaker designer and work in the sneaker industry.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, I think that's pretty much all
Speaker 1: about me. So you're so, you're a senior in high
Speaker 1: school right now. Yeah, I'm a senior in high school. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: first and foremost, before we get started, how was it
Speaker 1: dealing with being a senior in high school during quarantine.
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely not the most easy thing ever. Um,
Speaker 1: a lot of online classes, a lot of back and
Speaker 1: forth with my teachers. Um. It's funny because right now
Speaker 1: we're actually having our kitchen redone and because of my diagnosis,
Speaker 1: I actually had a little bit of cancer in my lungs,
Speaker 1: so my lungs are not exactly the greatest and I
Speaker 1: couldn't breathe in all the fumes. So we actually went
Speaker 1: down to New Hampshire. Our friend has a Lake House
Speaker 1: down there, and we actually stayed. We stayed there pretty
Speaker 1: much for the entirety of quarantine. We actually just got
Speaker 1: back about a week and a half ago, but for
Speaker 1: most of that I was staying there. And it's crazy
Speaker 1: to go from being in a classroom setting every single
Speaker 1: day and seeing my friends every single day to going
Speaker 1: to pretty much online classes and zoom sessions and all
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff like that. It's not the greatest thing,
Speaker 1: especially graduating pretty much like one at a time next week,
Speaker 1: and I won't get to see probably any of my
Speaker 1: friends for a while, probably until later this summer. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really really strange. Like the the COVID definitely took
Speaker 1: me by surprise. But yeah, it was really interesting because
Speaker 1: none of my friends because most of my friends graduated
Speaker 1: last year. Um, so I wasn't really able to talk
Speaker 1: to many people about like the whole like graduating experience now,
Speaker 1: especially in But you know, I mean, congrats, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, thank you very much. You have one week left.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot more brighter and more fun
Speaker 1: graduations that you're gonna have down the line, and much
Speaker 1: more festivities and parties and dances and all that, so
Speaker 1: don't don't worry too much about that. But so you
Speaker 1: are used to the whole zoom thing, because I totally
Speaker 1: am not. This is like the fourth zoom call I've done,
Speaker 1: and every time I do it, I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing. So, hey, you learned
Speaker 1: a lesson on how to use video chatting technology. I
Speaker 1: guess right, Yeah, what's crazy because actually what's funny is
Speaker 1: all of my doctor appointments as well. We're on zoom sessions.
Speaker 1: So not only was I using it for school, but
Speaker 1: I was doing virtual doctor's visits. Well for sure, man,
Speaker 1: I mean what else, like from from being at home
Speaker 1: for the last a few months? Um, have you caught
Speaker 1: yourself browsing sneaker websites and and uh stores a little
Speaker 1: bit more than you normally do? Because I totally have.
Speaker 1: I've been super guilty of it myself. Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: Um what, I'm so used to shopping online for sneakers,
Speaker 1: like I don't think I've probably only bought ten pairs
Speaker 1: of shoes at at a foot locker champs, like I
Speaker 1: rarely buy them in person, Like I've never funny, It's
Speaker 1: funny because I've actually never been to a sneaker consignment shop,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. For as long as I've been into sneakers,
Speaker 1: but I mean when I got into sneakers, I was
Speaker 1: living in Europe, and in Europe, the only like sneaker
Speaker 1: consignment shops are in like Germany and like in London
Speaker 1: and all sort of stuff like that. And I was
Speaker 1: living in the Netherlands at the time, and no one
Speaker 1: there is in the sneakers. Like I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 1: I think the only sneaker that they were into our easys.
Speaker 1: But I mean, zs are pretty much popular everywhere. Um,
Speaker 1: But like I was, I was actually one of the
Speaker 1: very first people to go on stock x when it
Speaker 1: was first launched, because my friend introduced it to me.
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, there's this there's this website. It's key Bay,
Speaker 1: but like you get your sneakers verified by these professionals
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and I thought and I thought,
Speaker 1: like that was really cool. And there was this other
Speaker 1: it's called it was called Global Kicks. It's it doesn't
Speaker 1: exist anymore, but it was a sneaker It was a
Speaker 1: sneaker consignment shop in d C. And me and him
Speaker 1: would always go on there and check like for sneakers
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And it's so hard to get
Speaker 1: sneakers shipped to from the US to to Europe, especially
Speaker 1: being a military family, because they can't, like because we
Speaker 1: have to ship it to a special like box on
Speaker 1: the military base, like a po box basically. And it's
Speaker 1: really really hard because companies think like, oh, I can't
Speaker 1: ship too, like internationally, I can't ship to Europe, and
Speaker 1: you're like, no, it's actually you're actually shipping it to
Speaker 1: a place in New York that ships it to Europe.
Speaker 1: And for some people was kind of hard to understand.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of sneaker releases that I missed
Speaker 1: out on because I was living in Europe, and for
Speaker 1: me it was a little bit frustrating. But I've been
Speaker 1: on sneaker websites, on sneaker news, on Complex on, I've
Speaker 1: been watching sneaker YouTube forever. I've been watching like sneaker
Speaker 1: reviews forever. Like I think one of the very first
Speaker 1: people I started watching was Kiss And I started watching
Speaker 1: Kais like way way back before. He has his channel
Speaker 1: now Crew TV, and I've been watching him forever. I've
Speaker 1: been watching Bowl forever. I've been watching Tony forever. You're
Speaker 1: familiar with them, right, yeah. Yeah. And it's funny because
Speaker 1: I've met all of them in person at sneaker cons.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons why I love sneaker
Speaker 1: cons so much, is because like basically a nobody like me,
Speaker 1: Um to get to meet them and interact with them
Speaker 1: was like so cool. And I think one of the
Speaker 1: best people I was I met at a sneaker Khan
Speaker 1: was two Jays Like Two Jays was like he was
Speaker 1: the very last person I met. He He's the most
Speaker 1: like down to earth guy ever. He's like the nicest
Speaker 1: guy ever. Um I actually lived in Las Vegas before,
Speaker 1: and I was telling him about the military base that
Speaker 1: I that my dad worked at UM while we were
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, and I told them, yeah, I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember like going to the mall that your store
Speaker 1: was in, but I never went to your store because
Speaker 1: I never knew it existed. And he was like super kind.
Speaker 1: He's like he's like he's like, man, thank you for
Speaker 1: your service. Like he was just a super super nice guy.
Speaker 1: And then uh and then Kais, like obviously Kais at
Speaker 1: that time was like huge. UM, like way bigger than
Speaker 1: everyone else. Because he was. That was before he reached
Speaker 1: a million subscribers. And of course, like everyone in London
Speaker 1: loved Kais because of Ari and because they're such good
Speaker 1: friends and like the lot. No kidding. So I got
Speaker 1: in line to meet Kais. I was waiting in that
Speaker 1: line for two hours just to meet, just to say
Speaker 1: hi to Kais. Dude. You know what's crazy to me
Speaker 1: is like I always thought in Europe sneaker culture wasn't
Speaker 1: really a thing. Um. I travel a lot because of
Speaker 1: sneaker cons and like some other business that I'm a
Speaker 1: part of, kind of behind the scenes. But yeah, um, dude,
Speaker 1: it's like crazy. Certain certain countries are nuts for sneakers.
Speaker 1: I've personally never been to the Netherlands. Yeah, um, but
Speaker 1: Germany people are crazy for sneakers. Um uh. The UK,
Speaker 1: so London is always insane, so people, but people in
Speaker 1: the UK aren't really that into Jordan's is more like
Speaker 1: air max is and stuff, and they call them and
Speaker 1: they call them like trainers over there instead of sneakers exactly. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, for the most part, like, for example,
Speaker 1: I had this kind of like interesting story. Um, I
Speaker 1: was in Poland for whatever god forsaken reason, and it
Speaker 1: was right when the N M D O G s dropped.
Speaker 1: But like you remember like the black and M d's
Speaker 1: with the blue in the red, So they were going
Speaker 1: for like fifts at the time, and then they restopped
Speaker 1: and then I think they came out like uh, and
Speaker 1: then they were going for like four or five. This
Speaker 1: is when like N M d s were like everybody
Speaker 1: was obsessed with them, and these were like the hottest shoe.
Speaker 1: I remember, like they just dropped in this local store.
Speaker 1: Literally I just walked in and they were sitting on
Speaker 1: the shelf. It in my head, I'm like, I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: this is like a hundred dollar shoe that goes for
Speaker 1: fives back home, Like what is it doing on the shelf?
Speaker 1: I was so confused, and then I really thought about it.
Speaker 1: But in Poland they used a currency called lati, which
Speaker 1: so it's like four to one, so four's lot is
Speaker 1: one dollar. And then also in Poland, every think they're
Speaker 1: so cheap like food, water, groceries, like like the expenses
Speaker 1: they're super cheap. You can get like a super nice
Speaker 1: apartment for like a month. And then then I realized
Speaker 1: that the median pay like the average salary in Poland
Speaker 1: was I think like two thousand's lotty a month, so
Speaker 1: so that's like five a month, which is nothing like
Speaker 1: if you really think about it. But but the way
Speaker 1: they live is so so like easy and cheap that
Speaker 1: for them, they're able to do it. But then I
Speaker 1: thought about it, and I'm like, these sneakers are sitting
Speaker 1: on the shelf, but they cost like I think they
Speaker 1: were like one fifty, so one fifty times four, it
Speaker 1: was like six hundreds of lotti or whatever, so that's
Speaker 1: that's literally like over a fourth of their pay. So
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and I'm like, maybe people aren't
Speaker 1: buying them because they're already too expensive. And also people
Speaker 1: there don't really care about sneakers, Like there were a
Speaker 1: few kids in the store, but but dude, I saw
Speaker 1: them and I'm like wow, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: how many can I buy? So I ended up I
Speaker 1: ended up buying three, one for myself, um, and then
Speaker 1: one for a friend and another one I think I
Speaker 1: just kept. But it's insane that the sneaker culture is
Speaker 1: a lot bigger than well most people think where where
Speaker 1: else have you lived? So I mean, obviously thank you
Speaker 1: for your service and your parents and Yeah, this incredible, man.
Speaker 1: I always have so much respect for that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: really appreciate. It's definitely not been easy, especially I've been
Speaker 1: to I think seven different schools now and uh so
Speaker 1: I'll just go through. I'll just go through the list. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, I kind of like kind of foreshadowing for later.
Speaker 1: So actually my sneaker that I made, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw it at all, but it has all
Speaker 1: the places I lived laser engraved into the side. But so,
Speaker 1: I was born in Oklahoma City, and then after that
Speaker 1: we moved to Germany. And what's cool is at that
Speaker 1: time when I when I was living, when I was
Speaker 1: born in Oklahoma and we were living in Germany. Next,
Speaker 1: both my parents were actually the military, and my mom
Speaker 1: and my dad actually met through the military or through
Speaker 1: the Air Force actually. Um they met in Oklahoma and
Speaker 1: then they had me, and then after that they moved
Speaker 1: we moved to Germany. And what's funny is my mom
Speaker 1: actually worked on a different base than my dad, so
Speaker 1: and so, and then my brother was born in Germany,
Speaker 1: which was around he was born, and he was born
Speaker 1: in two thousand six. I was born in two thousand two.
Speaker 1: But after Germany, I lived, we lived, We moved to
Speaker 1: Italy and lived in Italy for three years, and then
Speaker 1: after Italy, I moved to Pennsylvania and we lived in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania for a year. And then after Pennsylvania, we moved
Speaker 1: to d C. And I went to school in Virginia,
Speaker 1: and then after Virginia we moved to Las Vegas, and
Speaker 1: then after Las Vegas we moved to the Netherlands, and
Speaker 1: then after the Netherlands lived here to where a current
Speaker 1: me and which is in Vermont. Wow. Mr International, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty effective for me been Oliver and I've been
Speaker 1: to almost almost every single country in Europe. Wow. Man,
Speaker 1: that that that's pretty incredible. And shout out to your parents,
Speaker 1: Like I said, thank you for your guys services, and
Speaker 1: it's and amazing. I have so much respect for anybody
Speaker 1: who's in the military. I have a few of my
Speaker 1: friends who who have had to move a bunch of
Speaker 1: times too, yeah because of the military. But yeah, respect man,
Speaker 1: And yeah, I know I've have so much respect for
Speaker 1: them as well. I mean like they literally go through
Speaker 1: like they move like heaven and Earth to literally like
Speaker 1: do so much for this country and like what's crazy
Speaker 1: is like they for as like much as they do,
Speaker 1: Like it just seems like for them and they just
Speaker 1: like brush it off, like oh, that's a big deal,
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's just my job, Like I do
Speaker 1: this every I do this every day. But my mom
Speaker 1: is actually not like active duty anymore. She's in the reserves.
Speaker 1: My dad right now, he works, Um, he works at
Speaker 1: a at a university. So he works at it's it's
Speaker 1: called Norwich University, and he's uh, so you're gonna find
Speaker 1: this absolutely insane. But in all of Vermont, there's only
Speaker 1: one sneaker store. Really, yeah, there's only one sneaker store
Speaker 1: and it's uh and it's a chance in uh in Burlington. Wait,
Speaker 1: so it's so it's a chance. It's not even like
Speaker 1: a cosignment store, there's no Yeah, there's only one. It's
Speaker 1: just a chance. That's yeah, I think so. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's just true or not, but I think
Speaker 1: there's this guy who's opening a consignment store like in
Speaker 1: that area, and um, not very popular at all. Like
Speaker 1: I haven't really heard anything about it since then, but
Speaker 1: I think that that that's going to be a consignment store.
Speaker 1: But that's crazy. Yeah, I had no idea. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I mean whenever this, um, you know, quarantine is over
Speaker 1: and everyone's like safe and everything. Dude, Like, I love
Speaker 1: to have you come out to l A. I'll book
Speaker 1: you a flight and I'll take you around to Melrose
Speaker 1: and fair Fax. Have you ever heard of Project Blitz?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah I have. Yeah, I'll bring you to bring
Speaker 1: you by the warehouse, give you little friends and family
Speaker 1: tour its. It's pretty insane. Actually, I saw your video
Speaker 1: that you did when you tried like on like all
Speaker 1: the most expensive stuff like the like the LV jacket
Speaker 1: or and then you had and then outfit video. Yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Like I love what's the the guy that
Speaker 1: owns Project what Creation Style? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he's like so hilarious And I've seen so many
Speaker 1: videos like he has the the signed Kobe Eates um
Speaker 1: and like has like have you ever heard of the
Speaker 1: of the documentary Sneaker Heads of course? Yeah? I love
Speaker 1: That's like my favorite documentary of all time. Um, and
Speaker 1: I just like love it because it's like because not
Speaker 1: only does it say like does it tell you like
Speaker 1: sneeker history and like where the term sneaker came from
Speaker 1: and like how Adidas was like the very first company
Speaker 1: to like make like love their sneakers and like, but
Speaker 1: I also love how it talks about like sneakers nowadays.
Speaker 1: It talks about the Dornbacker program and talks about um
Speaker 1: like sneaker violence, um, which I I totally remember sneaker violence.
Speaker 1: Like that's something I totally remember, which is crazy that
Speaker 1: like it's like it's still kind of happens today. But
Speaker 1: I like, I haven't seen a sneaker fight since and
Speaker 1: there's so many online raffles that yeah, like like I mean,
Speaker 1: it does make me like kind of upset. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: like I'm not promoting like sneaker violence at all, but
Speaker 1: it is kind of entertaining to see like two people
Speaker 1: fighting over a pair of like Jordan's love and breads
Speaker 1: and like punching each other. I mean I kind of
Speaker 1: draw the line at like shooting each other for sneakers.
Speaker 1: I think that's kind I think that's like massively stupid. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, like that's like my favorite documentary
Speaker 1: of all time. Yeah, So I have a quick question. Uh,
Speaker 1: and this is a question for you, And so I'm
Speaker 1: only asking this question because I know if I don't
Speaker 1: ask it now, I'll forget later. And so I know,
Speaker 1: like you're famous for wearing like the mask and being
Speaker 1: and being like the mask guy. How is it having
Speaker 1: like COVID like every and like you have to require
Speaker 1: a mask everywhere? Is it easy? Is it like easy
Speaker 1: since you always wear a mask, or it's it like
Speaker 1: is it like weird or well, honestly, Um, so I
Speaker 1: only wear my mask when I'm like filming or if
Speaker 1: I'm at like an event or something. And trust me, dude,
Speaker 1: it is not easy to wear it for seven hours
Speaker 1: straight at a sneaker con Um, I'm always super happy
Speaker 1: to like take it off and just like be me.
Speaker 1: It's funny because all these theories came out of like
Speaker 1: people saying that I knew about coronavirus before it happened
Speaker 1: and that I just didn't tell everyone that's why I
Speaker 1: wore a mask. Um, and like all these like super
Speaker 1: funny theories, Like some people think I don't have a mouth. Uh,
Speaker 1: some people think I'm like extremely ugly, have like super
Speaker 1: disfigured face, like all these like crazy crazy theories. Um,
Speaker 1: but it's funny now because of coronavirus. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: kind of used to the mask thing. I definitely don't
Speaker 1: prefer wearing it, contrary to what people believe. But um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, so it's I'm kind of used to it.
Speaker 1: I guess I just thought it. I just thought that
Speaker 1: would be a funny question to ask. Yeah, d of
Speaker 1: course a lot of people have actually asked me that
Speaker 1: recently because of because of the whole quarantine thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny. Yeah, because I would think you'd be
Speaker 1: like easier because you like, do you do you get
Speaker 1: like used to it after a while or Yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. Um. The only thing
Speaker 1: that really bothers me is if my facial hair is
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, like if I have a beard
Speaker 1: in at one point it will start sweating and that's
Speaker 1: really unable. But otherwise, like I'm I'm pretty used to it.
Speaker 1: I've definitely gotten used to speaking on camera and being
Speaker 1: in public with the mask on, so I have to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit louder than I normally do because
Speaker 1: it's not easy to understand if you're not speaking a
Speaker 1: little bit louder with like a little bit louder tone.
Speaker 1: I'm used to it, for sure, let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: I only ask because I have to wear a mask
Speaker 1: all the time because I'm going to the hospital like
Speaker 1: all the time, and they were and of course they
Speaker 1: require it there. Yeah, we do you need any cloth masks?
Speaker 1: Do you have some of those? Uh? My mom ordered
Speaker 1: most of the time, like since they give you free
Speaker 1: masks anyway at the when you check in and they
Speaker 1: like do the screening and stuff. Yeah, uh they usually
Speaker 1: we don't usually like bring in a mask just because
Speaker 1: like they're going to give us one anyway. Okay, but um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, my mom ordered like from this one random
Speaker 1: lady on Facebook that was making and she ordered a couple. Okay,
Speaker 1: well send me after we're done to send me your
Speaker 1: address and I'll shipt you some of these. Awesome, thank you,
Speaker 1: No no problem. I barely have any left. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I printed so many at the beginning of the year
Speaker 1: and then yeah, you know, obviously it's like it's been
Speaker 1: a big part of my March since like two thousand seventeen,
Speaker 1: so like the last three years. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: people know me for like the mask or whatever, so um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was always a big part of my March.
Speaker 1: And the coronavirus hit and I saw all these people
Speaker 1: started ordering it. And uh kind of decided that, you know,
Speaker 1: with my platform, and you know everybody's because they're not cheap.
Speaker 1: They're twenty bucks because it is merch at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know. But every single um order
Speaker 1: I've gotten since like the beginning of of quarantine, which
Speaker 1: is in March or whenever it happened, I've donate all
Speaker 1: the money. So I literally only have like fifteen left.
Speaker 1: I'll save I'll save something for you. I actually took
Speaker 1: him off the site because I just want to have
Speaker 1: a few just for friends and family. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been cool. I'm happy to give him back to the community,
Speaker 1: you know. I al we trying to give back as
Speaker 1: much as I can because I'm so thankful to be totally.
Speaker 1: I totally understand. It's funny because I actually donate to
Speaker 1: a lot of like pediatric cancer things all the time.
Speaker 1: Like even if the money goes back to me like
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: to me, like it's kind of sad sometimes, like when
Speaker 1: you go into the hospital and like see all these kids,
Speaker 1: like for me, like being eighteen, being like being diagnosed
Speaker 1: when I was basically sixteen, it's kind of weird. Like
Speaker 1: being an adult now and while still going through cancer treatment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: keep fighting, dude, I know it's hard sometimes, but keep planning.
Speaker 1: You'll you'll get through it, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really really appreciate that of course. And you you've
Speaker 1: had some pretty you know, incredible experiences and dude, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I've been entertained this whole time, Like I I
Speaker 1: just shut up. I just let you talk. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's pretty amazing. Um what making which
Speaker 1: has done for you and with like Nike, it's so cool.
Speaker 1: So so walk me through. Um So the way, I
Speaker 1: actually came across your pages because I saw Mike repost
Speaker 1: on a story a picture of your shoe, which is
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. So I don't know if you wanted to
Speaker 1: get that, get to that at the end or go
Speaker 1: ahead like it's all you because I know you have
Speaker 1: some more shoes you want to show me first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so U we can actually we can actually do that
Speaker 1: last and that last and that could be like our
Speaker 1: last topics. Um. So, basically when I win in the designers, uh,
Speaker 1: there was like a group of designers and like different
Speaker 1: people that all work on sneakers, like there was a
Speaker 1: there was like a guy in charge in charge of
Speaker 1: like materials and like the rubber, the prime net, the
Speaker 1: hyper fused, the like like the laces, like all different materials,
Speaker 1: and there was a lady that worked on like like
Speaker 1: traction patterns and which like uh, like pattern was the
Speaker 1: best the best for like the type of rubber and
Speaker 1: stuff like that and uh. And then there was like
Speaker 1: other people that worked on different things, like worked on
Speaker 1: the shape, worked on the shank plate, like all different
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But it was cool, is uh is
Speaker 1: the team that was in there was actually the ones
Speaker 1: that designed the Jordan thirty four. And what was cool
Speaker 1: is they walked me through because because at that time,
Speaker 1: like the thirty four was just like leaked and it
Speaker 1: wasn't actually officially out yet um, but it was coming out,
Speaker 1: but it was it like was just leaked by it
Speaker 1: was just like announced by Jordan Brand at that time.
Speaker 1: So they walked me through like how they came up
Speaker 1: with the design, like how why they wanted it to
Speaker 1: be a late shoe UM. One thing that's really cool
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't know is actually designed
Speaker 1: the shoe UM a little bit after Zion Williamson he

Speaker 1: cut you off. The Travis is a very frequent customer
Speaker 1: of ours. He was actually just at the warehouse like
Speaker 1: three days ago. So have you met him as well? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I met Travis met a bunch of times. Do you
Speaker 1: ever like, have you ever asked Travis like, like, yo,
Speaker 1: can you like give me a pair of friends of
Speaker 1: families or anything? You know? How Tinker said that, Um,
Speaker 1: you know Kanye and Travis and some of these guys
Speaker 1: are like interesting and uh, he's right, you know, Like
Speaker 1: it's it's one day Travis would be like really weird
Speaker 1: and moody, and he will like walk in and like
Speaker 1: not talk to anyone, and then one day he'll come
Speaker 1: in he'll like hug me. It's it's like one day
Speaker 1: he's this, one day he's that. Um, but otherwise he's
Speaker 1: a nice guy. Um. He definitely takes care of us. Uh,
Speaker 1: we went to me and Andre went to aster world Fest.
Speaker 1: It was cool. We have like vackstage everything with his
Speaker 1: concerts and and yeah, dude, like if um, when when
Speaker 1: you come down to l A, like we can talk
Speaker 1: to Trav and see if he he wants to pull
Speaker 1: up when you're there when it would be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: He every single pair of dunks that you see him wearing,
Speaker 1: like literally every pair, they all come from us. So
Speaker 1: we're also Kylie Jenner, you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've seen her wearing a bunch of sebes and dunks, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are all from us too. Yeah, like the like
Speaker 1: the Doom uh the m f hom dunks. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: I actually picked those up. So that's awesome. Yeah. But um,
Speaker 1: so what do you think of like me see like
Speaker 1: pages like sol Collector like stuff like that, Like is
Speaker 1: it kind of cool to see like them like reporting
Speaker 1: on like Kylie Jenner or Travis Scott like wearing like
Speaker 1: these shoes and you're like and you're and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we sold them these shoes. Yeah, is that like kind
Speaker 1: of cool to see that? Yeah? Yeah, it's cool. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they give us the credit which is cool. Um, but
Speaker 1: also uh sometimes it's it's pretty incredible too to like
Speaker 1: hold the shoe and then you see it being worn
Speaker 1: by someone like a Kylie Jenner or like a Travis
Speaker 1: and then they guess like millions of likes and millions
Speaker 1: and millions of people saw it. Um, because it's kind
Speaker 1: of like so it's kind of like satisfying. You're like
Speaker 1: I did that or like yeah, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: really cool and we're always um excited to you know,
Speaker 1: help the culture, and um, you know, Travis has been
Speaker 1: like such a big part of it. I'll see what
Speaker 1: especially with the SBS. Yeah, and it's like influence and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he showed us all his shoes like way
Speaker 1: before that actually came out, which is cool. Um. A
Speaker 1: lot of which I you know, like you, I can't
Speaker 1: really talk about that much publicly, but obviously you know,
Speaker 1: we'll have a private combo. I can tell you a
Speaker 1: little bit more of WHI should be cool. Um. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, Travis, Travis is an interesting character. But
Speaker 1: yeah Zion he um, he's shopped with us a couple
Speaker 1: of times. Really nice guy, super super down to earth
Speaker 1: like most of our basketball Um, clientele is like super
Speaker 1: super nice, so we never have any issues, never have
Speaker 1: any issues with those guys. But yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to interrupt you, but yeah, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's okay. I was just gonna say, like to like
Speaker 1: kind of back coffee what you said. Like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like I totally understand like what it feels
Speaker 1: like to like have like all this like information like
Speaker 1: Travis unreally sneakers and yeah and so yeah because it
Speaker 1: was like tons because they becausette without being too specific
Speaker 1: and like that would get me in trouble, is uh uh?
Speaker 1: At when I went into the Jordan Brand building after
Speaker 1: after like I kind of designed my shoe, it kind
Speaker 1: of walked me around. I guess, yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be from um So, like
Speaker 1: I saw the Bread eleven before, like like before it
Speaker 1: came out. I saw the hair the hair sevens, you
Speaker 1: know the ones with like the like the cow hair
Speaker 1: or whatever on them before they released at All Star Joints. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's interesting about the the U n C. I saw
Speaker 1: the U n C threes before they released as well.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting about those is they actually had a
Speaker 1: patch you know that, you know that patch that they
Speaker 1: put like on the Michigan Jordan's fives, Like it was
Speaker 1: on the back. So basically they had that on the
Speaker 1: tongue where the Jordan's where the unc logo would have been,
Speaker 1: and then the jump Man on the other and on
Speaker 1: and on the released pair it does to jump Man
Speaker 1: and simple on both tongues, and then on the on
Speaker 1: the insule it has a little patch. Uh, They're they're
Speaker 1: kind of doing something similar with the Oregon fives that
Speaker 1: are coming out with. I think they were going to
Speaker 1: put the patch on the heel. What I really want
Speaker 1: to do is get those but then cut the patch
Speaker 1: off of the back. I think i'd be I think
Speaker 1: that look really cool. Yeah, I agree, I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not really a big fan of how the patch looks.
Speaker 1: I understand it, but I mean I'm kind of like
Speaker 1: happy and sad because like obviously they can't release like
Speaker 1: I think people have realized by now, like obviously they
Speaker 1: can't release a shoe with a duck on it and
Speaker 1: a no on that's on, Like that's just not possible.
Speaker 1: Because because the guy explained it to me, I asked, like,
Speaker 1: why do you have the patch. He's like because, and like,
Speaker 1: why don't you just release the thing? Because for Oregon
Speaker 1: it makes the Oregon School less value ball because if
Speaker 1: they were to release it with like the O and
Speaker 1: then like the duck on the back, they would like, no,
Speaker 1: like all the all the students that are about to go,
Speaker 1: they would know, oh, well, why would why would I
Speaker 1: want to go to this school and get a pe
Speaker 1: when I know that they're just going to re retro
Speaker 1: it like four years later, and like kind of how
Speaker 1: it makes the school less special and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So that so there's actually like a lot that goes
Speaker 1: into it. It's not just like Nike trolling us or
Speaker 1: anything like that. There's like a lot of behind behind
Speaker 1: the scenes for stuff like that. Of course, So did
Speaker 1: you design your shoe all in one day? Yeah? Wow,
Speaker 1: it took about two and a half hours to design
Speaker 1: my shoe. So how did so walk me through the process? How, like,
Speaker 1: why did you choose the Jordan's four? Did you already
Speaker 1: kind of have an idea in your head of what
Speaker 1: you wanted to look like? Or um? Yeah, so for so,
Speaker 1: I definitely wanted to be a four just because I
Speaker 1: love I I love the the dorne Becker for. But
Speaker 1: I thought, I really want to do better on that.
Speaker 1: I really want to play off of that and then
Speaker 1: do better. M And because like no disrespect to the
Speaker 1: kid at all, but like the design is like god awful.
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't think it's a like I
Speaker 1: don't think it's an attractive sneaker at all. Really, I like,
Speaker 1: I know it's a lot of people's grail and like
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but I really don't like, I really
Speaker 1: don't like that sneaker. You don't like the dorn Becker
Speaker 1: for at all. No, I don't think that's crazy. I
Speaker 1: really like that too. It's funny because I just got
Speaker 1: it recently too. Yeah, I mean like it's a I
Speaker 1: mean I I won't like, I have a little bit
Speaker 1: of respect for it just because a dorn Becker, and
Speaker 1: I respect like all the dorne Becker kids because I
Speaker 1: love that program. Um. But there's like a lot of
Speaker 1: shoes like I don't like the you know those up
Speaker 1: tempos that released like a few seasons ago. I think,
Speaker 1: like I thought those were really ugly. Like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be real, like I thought those are ugly. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: only a few dorn Beckers that I was like a
Speaker 1: really big fan of I like the I like the fours, um,
Speaker 1: the eights, the sixes, yeah, I guess, and the ones
Speaker 1: are sick, yeah, the ones with the like palm trees
Speaker 1: on them and stuff. Yeah, I saw those like I
Speaker 1: see those in like every single sneaker shopping episode because
Speaker 1: they're always on like that the l a flight club
Speaker 1: like back wall. But yeah, so why I chose the
Speaker 1: four is because I wanted to put you know, the
Speaker 1: Nike cancer symbol like where it's like the Nike ribbon um.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to put that on the shoe. I
Speaker 1: like that was my number one thing. I had to
Speaker 1: put that in the shoe. And I knew that with
Speaker 1: the four I could put it on the back tab
Speaker 1: and have it be like a and have it and
Speaker 1: have it like look natural on the back tab because
Speaker 1: I was reginally going to do a seven. But you
Speaker 1: can't really do anything because the seven is like my
Speaker 1: favorite model, but you can't put that symbol like anywhere
Speaker 1: like noticeable on the seven because unless you put it
Speaker 1: on like the back where like the twenty three is.
Speaker 1: But other than that, you can't really do it. And
Speaker 1: I didn't want and I didn't want a translucent soul because, um,
Speaker 1: because I'm kinda I really want to keep these for
Speaker 1: like ever, and I don't want it to like yellow
Speaker 1: and then have like a shoe and then I have
Speaker 1: like a shoe that's yellowed. So that's why I didn't
Speaker 1: want to do a translucent soul. Um. I love the
Speaker 1: thought process. Yeah, No, I like, I definitely want these
Speaker 1: sneakers to age well, and I know that, like I
Speaker 1: love translucent soul sneakers, but I also know that the
Speaker 1: yellow after a while, and I just don't like that,
Speaker 1: like piss yellow color on like elevens or like fives
Speaker 1: or anything. Yeah, totally understood. Um. And then obviously the
Speaker 1: Air Force the white blue and then that gray on
Speaker 1: the shoe that's, uh, that's just an honor of the
Speaker 1: Air Force and that's why. And because the shoe was
Speaker 1: originally gonna look like you know, the Michigan four pe s,
Speaker 1: like the ones with like that that like blue suede,
Speaker 1: They're originally going to be those like That's what the
Speaker 1: shoe was originally gonna look like, and just have all
Speaker 1: my logos on it, and we eventually like put all
Speaker 1: the colors together and put it on the because while
Speaker 1: we're doing this, like there's just one lady who was
Speaker 1: showing me colors, one lady that was showing me, showing
Speaker 1: me materials, and then there was a guy on a
Speaker 1: laptop on Adobe Illustrator putting the different colors into uh
Speaker 1: this like template for a Jordan four. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: like he was like giving me like all these different
Speaker 1: color combinations, like he was talent. It could have looked
Speaker 1: like the bread pores, It could have looked like the
Speaker 1: fire red fours, It could have looked like the motorsports,
Speaker 1: the alternate Motorsports. It could have looked like any of
Speaker 1: those shoes as well. And he did like a mock
Speaker 1: up of an all Camo Jordan's Jordan's four, a one
Speaker 1: that had liked, and it was a mostly white sneaker
Speaker 1: with hits of camo, and there was like a he
Speaker 1: gave me like probably twenty different Jordans options of different
Speaker 1: color combinations. So that was Yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 1: I love the insul. I think the Insul is like
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Yeah, so I originally wanted to
Speaker 1: do like so you know the Jordan's ten. You know
Speaker 1: how it has like all of his achievements on the soul.
Speaker 1: I really wanted to do like that design on the
Speaker 1: mid sole and have all the places I lived from
Speaker 1: year to year, so like oh two to oh four, Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: Oh Ford to oh eight, uh, Germany, and like have
Speaker 1: it be like that. He thought it'd be cooler if
Speaker 1: I did it on the outside and laser engraved it
Speaker 1: into the side. That's why you ended up doing that.
Speaker 1: And uh, like have you seen like the yellow hits
Speaker 1: on the shoe? I was like on the soul on
Speaker 1: the back. Um, well, the lace tips are also that
Speaker 1: yellow to give it a pop like when you tie
Speaker 1: it and uh, and the soul is yellow because it
Speaker 1: matches the uh the Nike ribbon on the back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so cool. I just realized that, like the Nike
Speaker 1: logo was actually incorporated on the ribbon, which is so dope.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Uh. I have the the original picture of
Speaker 1: the very first drawing of that on here. That's sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah it did. That's so cool. Man, Man, you'd crushed
Speaker 1: the design. Bro, It's it's sick. They should make that
Speaker 1: a general really shoot, because I think everyone would want
Speaker 1: to buy it. I'm just kidding. Keep them, keep them,
Speaker 1: keep them rare. No no, no, I told no, I
Speaker 1: told I totally agree with that, and that's really and
Speaker 1: I was like visibly upset when they said that it
Speaker 1: was they gonna be like, like, well, so it was
Speaker 1: oginally gonna be a one of one, and then it
Speaker 1: was a four, and then it was a four or
Speaker 1: four when I got them in the mail finally. But um,
Speaker 1: I was. I was disappointed because the way that the
Speaker 1: way that the wish grant her the President made it
Speaker 1: sound was that me, it sound like it was going
Speaker 1: to be a Dornbacker and it was going to release
Speaker 1: to like the public as well, like and I was
Speaker 1: gonna have friends and family pairs and then I was
Speaker 1: going to have like and then there was gonna be
Speaker 1: a general release to the public. But uh, but when
Speaker 1: they told me, when I went to Nike and they
Speaker 1: told me that that wasn't what it was going to be,
Speaker 1: I was kind of upset. So well, so, so you
Speaker 1: wanted it to release, so you're happy that it's not
Speaker 1: going to release. No, I wanted it to release. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's why that's why I designed it the way I
Speaker 1: just that's why I designed it the way I did
Speaker 1: because if you think about that, like, what's a more
Speaker 1: wearable sneaker, my sneaker or the Dornbacker four. Yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: like see what I mean, Like like I wanted it
Speaker 1: to be wearable and and so the fin I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can tell, but the final design, the
Speaker 1: inspiration for it was the was a military blue force. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I definitely see that. Really good man, And I'm not
Speaker 1: just saying that they like genuinely like such a clean
Speaker 1: looking shoe. I'm like incredibly happy about how they turned out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at them right now on your Instagram. Look,
Speaker 1: they do it. The insult is crazy. I love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I think some people are probably
Speaker 1: gonna think it's bathe and like and like it's like
Speaker 1: has like a babe inspiration, But that's really not why
Speaker 1: I did it. It was really do you remember the
Speaker 1: old they're from the planes from World War Two that
Speaker 1: have like the shark teeth on the side. Of course,
Speaker 1: of course that was the inspiration for that. Yeah, dude, dude,
Speaker 1: it's so fire. I really appreciate it. And then the
Speaker 1: air patent, Yeah that is so cool too. I love that.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, so you have four pairs
Speaker 1: for you, your parents, and your your brother. You said, yep.
Speaker 1: Do do you think maybe we'll ever see a release
Speaker 1: or is that something that you can't say or you
Speaker 1: don't think so? Um, I mean it's definitely a possibility.
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely have seen like pees and stuff
Speaker 1: like that like get released, So I mean it would
Speaker 1: definitely like if they do do it, Like I think
Speaker 1: it'd be like really cool for a fundraiser. Or even
Speaker 1: if they just did it and just took out all
Speaker 1: my elements and just kept there like the blue and
Speaker 1: then the white and the gray, I still think people
Speaker 1: would buy it and then it had Nike Air on
Speaker 1: the back of both of it. Yeah, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: awesome though. I would definitely line up to try to
Speaker 1: buy a pair of those. I really appreciate it. How
Speaker 1: how much do you think they'd resell for in stock
Speaker 1: x Oh, I don't know. Actually that's a tough one. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Honestly, that that is like a
Speaker 1: priceless shoe, you know what I mean. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't even be able to put a price
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, just because like even at at Blitz,
Speaker 1: we have a couple of shoes that are genuinely priceless.
Speaker 1: Um that even if you asked, like me or Andre
Speaker 1: or anybody who who like works at Blazz would just
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, sorry, not for sale, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Do you like? What are a few examples
Speaker 1: of those? Well? Um, for example, we have like the
Speaker 1: Game Warn signed Kobe Jordan eates in the Lakers color
Speaker 1: where there's only one pair of those in existence. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: before obviously Kobe passing, we had like some people offer
Speaker 1: us in like the six figures for it, but we
Speaker 1: always said no just because it was it was really
Speaker 1: close to to Dre's like heart, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: he never want to let it go as like super sentimental,
Speaker 1: but now he was thinking about letting it go. At
Speaker 1: like auction. A pair of Jordan one pees dropped from
Speaker 1: I think I think Jordan wore them, so they're game Warren.
Speaker 1: They sold like half a million. But there's actually plenty
Speaker 1: of those sneakers, but this one is one of one
Speaker 1: and it's Kobe's obviously rescues um, so maybe we would
Speaker 1: we would do something with it for charity, so like
Speaker 1: like donate it to the to the like Kobe Bryant
Speaker 1: Foundation thing. Probably. Yeah, so we're we're thinking about what
Speaker 1: to do with them exactly, but I mean that's what
Speaker 1: we're leaning towards. I compare it to like the it's
Speaker 1: like the last shot, uh Jordan fourteens like that that
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan war. Yeah, that's pretty insane. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: do you think you're ever gonna wear them? Um? Maybe
Speaker 1: one day, maybe like to something special like my wedding
Speaker 1: or like something like that. Okay, I feel you. That's
Speaker 1: awesome and you should definitely wear those where those with
Speaker 1: pride wear them in good health, yeah, or like or
Speaker 1: if I ever, like you said, you have the red
Speaker 1: octobers when you meet Kanye, Well, I have wh I
Speaker 1: have my shoes for when I meet Jordan's Okay that's
Speaker 1: a crazy flex. Yeah, but that's so cool man. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hope it happens one day. I hope they make
Speaker 1: him a pair and they give him a pair. That
Speaker 1: would be so sick. Yeah. Maybe they did, and I
Speaker 1: just don't know about it. Yeah. Yeah, we've I've heard
Speaker 1: a lot of stories about um Jordan getting like one
Speaker 1: of one pairs that like if they gave Jordan a
Speaker 1: pair of like the Travis is ones, and Travis didn't
Speaker 1: even know about it until like way after. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean he is like kind of the head of
Speaker 1: like the face of the company. Literally. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I can kind of like understand why they might not
Speaker 1: tell anyone about giving him a pair of shoes because
Speaker 1: I mean it's his shoe. So yeah, it makes sense. Well,
Speaker 1: what else you got for us? I'll actually show you
Speaker 1: my rarest shoe numbers wise, I guess if we're going
Speaker 1: off numbers, Um, okay, we got so this Uh it's
Speaker 1: a make a issue, So it has a make a
Speaker 1: Wish thing on the back and this shoe is only
Speaker 1: given to make a wish kids who had a wish
Speaker 1: at Nike. And there's only and so it's so it's
Speaker 1: one so I'm the third person to ever get it. Wow.
Speaker 1: So this is a one of three sneaker. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: so dope. Just one one less than your shoe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's so technically this is the rare sneaker and
Speaker 1: it has and it's has a really crazy tag on it. Uh,
Speaker 1: it doesn't say promo sample, it just says promo Wow.
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah. So and uh, and they're also like
Speaker 1: one of the best smelling sneakers. And what's also cool.
Speaker 1: On the bottom, it's kind of hard to see, but
Speaker 1: if you can see in the background, there's like it's
Speaker 1: like blue, it's like a blue tie. I sort of
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of hard to see, but
Speaker 1: I can see it. Yeah, that's cool. Hopefully hopefully one day, um,
Speaker 1: you know, either a sneaker con or when you come
Speaker 1: out to l A. I would love to see these
Speaker 1: shoes in person, like they look so yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1: I have actually have these really awesome cases for them.
Speaker 1: I'll show you when they're soul Soul display I think.
Speaker 1: And uh, it's just just right. It's just just just
Speaker 1: just this small company that I found and and they
Speaker 1: make like really high quality UM acrylic boxes for Yeah,
Speaker 1: totally yeah, I like these for the way they look.
Speaker 1: But you're totally right, Like with certain truth is I
Speaker 1: want to be able to see like the whole thing
Speaker 1: on like a real display, you know, like like, for example,
Speaker 1: if I had a pair of UM I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: build a custom case for it if I because I
Speaker 1: could probably afford it, if I could afford this shoe,
Speaker 1: But like the airmags like I would probably get like
Speaker 1: a custom case for it and uh and like have
Speaker 1: like a hoverboard or whatever. Yeah, that'd be sick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your heater collection makes my sneaker collection look trash. So
Speaker 1: you completely destroy me in any sort of sneaker battle.
Speaker 1: But that's so cool man, like you You've got to
Speaker 1: um have that experience, Like that is so cool, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. Um, it would be really cool to do it,
Speaker 1: actually be really cool. I kind of love to do
Speaker 1: a sneaker battle because I kind of actually have enough
Speaker 1: variety now that I could actually do one. Because before
Speaker 1: I just had like all the same types of shoes
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really interesting. But now that I have
Speaker 1: like Oregon shoes and Travis Scott shoes and Kobe's and
Speaker 1: Lebrons and Kyrie's and all these different kinds of Jordan's,
Speaker 1: I think I can. I think it can definitely hold
Speaker 1: my ground. I mean, I'm no, I'm no a little
Speaker 1: YACHTI with his insane sneaker collection. But I don't think
Speaker 1: that that there's a whole lot of people who can
Speaker 1: who can beat having your own sneakers, So so I
Speaker 1: think you'll probably take a lot of people down. No,
Speaker 1: I can't. It's truely, it's it really means a lot.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, of course, dude, Like, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for coming on the show. Dude, it's been so
