Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys, Welcome to another episode of Legit Chic.
Speaker 1: It's your boy easyBus To. And you know, today we
Speaker 1: don't have a guest because nobody likes me and I
Speaker 1: have no friends, so we're gonna be doing a solo episode.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, today I did something a little
Speaker 1: bit different. Today. We don't really have a specific topic
Speaker 1: to talk about, but what we are going to talk
Speaker 1: about it is kind of a little bit more about myself.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm very secretive and most of my life
Speaker 1: is not public. It's mostly private, and I kind of
Speaker 1: like to keep it that way. Obviously, you know, I
Speaker 1: do wear a mask and uh, you know, and still
Speaker 1: at the same time, I really want to be able
Speaker 1: to kind of tell you guys a little bit more
Speaker 1: about my life because you know, I know you guys
Speaker 1: are curious. So what I did was I posted on
Speaker 1: my Instagram. Um, if you guys don't follow it yet,
Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure you guys probably already do, but
Speaker 1: go follow me on Instagram at easyBus To, I post
Speaker 1: stories every now and then for people to send me
Speaker 1: some questions. And today I posted and I said, Uh,
Speaker 1: ask me a question. I'll feature you on the podcast.
Speaker 1: So here we are. Let's uh, let's get started. Oh um,
Speaker 1: the first question on here is actually kind of funny. UM,
Speaker 1: shout out to you, n m R one THEO. He said,
Speaker 1: are you cringe? Well, I would say, um, I guess
Speaker 1: that's up to you to decide. Um. So the next
Speaker 1: question is from I'm Noah one on one He said,
Speaker 1: where you get all those shoes? Well, I've been collecting
Speaker 1: sneakers now for like five plus years. And I know
Speaker 1: I'm not super o g I haven't been collecting sneakers
Speaker 1: since the womb, but um, I've been collecting for like
Speaker 1: five years. I worked really hard for my shoes, you know.
Speaker 1: Started a lot, started mainly with just like Adidas and
Speaker 1: Easies and only a couple of pairs of Jordan's. And
Speaker 1: now it's kind of like pretty well balanced. I would
Speaker 1: say I might even have more Nikes now than Adidas,
Speaker 1: which is kind of wild if you think about it,
Speaker 1: because I'm easy best to okay. Um, Gronklin asked me, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty clever name. Asked me, what made you
Speaker 1: interested in shoes? So I feel like my whole life
Speaker 1: I've been a sneaker head. But I didn't know. And
Speaker 1: the reason why I think that is because I played
Speaker 1: sports growing up. I played I played soccer, I played basketball,
Speaker 1: I played tennis and in any sport or I mean,
Speaker 1: I also like ran and I was very active. I
Speaker 1: was always like, um, I was an athlete growing up
Speaker 1: and now I'm fat, But um, I always had the
Speaker 1: coolest sneakers on no matter what. People always were like
Speaker 1: looking at me like, oh dude, where'd you get those?
Speaker 1: And um, I always had to have the freshest new
Speaker 1: mercurials or hyper venoms for soccer, and then for tennis
Speaker 1: it was like court ballistics or the vapor like Roger
Speaker 1: Feeder shoes. And then for basketball, I always wore Kobe's
Speaker 1: rest in piece. By the way, we haven't even talked
Speaker 1: about the whole topic. By the way, recipes to a legend,
Speaker 1: like seriously, like I only wore Kobes when I played
Speaker 1: basketball growing up, and like really a huge inspiration to me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but anyway, Yeah, Like I feel like I've
Speaker 1: always been interested in shoes, Like I've always been in fashion,
Speaker 1: like not necessarily like street where like kind of like
Speaker 1: where I grew up wasn't the like the most fashion
Speaker 1: forward place. Um, you just kind of grew up wearing
Speaker 1: bands and converse. But I was always interested in shoes
Speaker 1: and I never really knew it. Kanye. It was kind
Speaker 1: of like the reason why I got into shoes at all,
Speaker 1: because um, I was a die hard fans still am,
Speaker 1: and basically like whenever I saw him wearing some like
Speaker 1: crazy like Jordan's, like back back in the day when
Speaker 1: he was wearing Nikes and Louie Bvutan shoes and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, I'd always like try to get something looked
Speaker 1: similar because I couldn't I couldn't afford the real deal
Speaker 1: back then. And um, like it was funny. One year,
Speaker 1: Um there was like this cord ballistic which was like
Speaker 1: a tennis shoe like Raphael and the Dollar signature shoe,
Speaker 1: and it was black and pink, so I had, like
Speaker 1: I think it had like a pink swoosh. I can't remember,
Speaker 1: but I just remember like wearing them to school because
Speaker 1: I thought they were so sick. I'm like, yeah, these
Speaker 1: kind of look the easy blinks and but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's funny because I never never really clicked in my
Speaker 1: head that I was like really a sneaker head and
Speaker 1: into sneakers until in two thousand fifteen, which actually kind
Speaker 1: of segues since then this next question by a Joshi.
Speaker 1: He said, what was the first hyped shoe you brought?
Speaker 1: I think I think it was supposed to say bought,
Speaker 1: But the first hype shoe I bought was a easy
Speaker 1: three fifty pate Black. That was the first authentic sneaker,
Speaker 1: the hype sneaker that I bought. And actually before that
Speaker 1: I had they weren't really that hype, so I won't
Speaker 1: even mention that. But so yeah, I had the Ether
Speaker 1: Pirate Blacks, and ever since then I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: like this is actually crazy. It's a whole culture in itself.
Speaker 1: But before before I bought the Pirate Blacks, like I
Speaker 1: was starting to get into the culture and like seeing
Speaker 1: like why everything was so expensive, and obviously I was
Speaker 1: like following and trying to get all the easies. I
Speaker 1: struck out on the Turtle Doves in the seven fifties. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, that that's that's on how it all started.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Um, this is an interesting question. Connor seven
Speaker 1: Jag asked, what are the most expensive shoes in the world? Now?
Speaker 1: If we're talking shoes shoes, I'm pretty sure it's like
Speaker 1: a pair of I think it's a I think Nick
Speaker 1: Cannon bought them. I think it's like tom Ford loafers
Speaker 1: with like diamonds all over them. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're like
Speaker 1: two million dollars something crazy like that. But if we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about sneakers, I would say the most
Speaker 1: expensive sneaker on the market right now. That that's a
Speaker 1: really tough question because it just depends on how much
Speaker 1: someone wants to spend on certain shoes. I would say
Speaker 1: that the market really dictates like what shoes are hot.
Speaker 1: Like obviously, like Easys were like the the biggest thing
Speaker 1: um for the longest time, and then three fifty prices
Speaker 1: kind of dropped a little bit, and like Travis came around,
Speaker 1: and then Virgil with the off white collection and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But I would say that trends are really
Speaker 1: important to like as bees right now are probably the hottest,
Speaker 1: you know, like when Travis, Travis just dropped his SBS
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago and literally went crazy. I
Speaker 1: thought that the prices were going to kind dropped like
Speaker 1: post release, but they're they've been pretty strong, like chilling
Speaker 1: at A thousand and eleven because they were really hard
Speaker 1: to get. They only came out in some like skate shops.
Speaker 1: They didn't come out on sneakers, so it was like
Speaker 1: really not easy to get. But it was kind of
Speaker 1: like an O G release, which was cool, which a
Speaker 1: lot of people I think liked a lot um when
Speaker 1: you know, sneakers only came out in stores and like
Speaker 1: very limited online or whatever. But I would say that
Speaker 1: a s B s are kind of like they're like
Speaker 1: the wave right now, everyone's everyone's rocking. SB is like
Speaker 1: trying to be a skateboarder. You know, I'm a total
Speaker 1: poser because I wear sps too, But um uh, I
Speaker 1: would say that it's really hard to put a put
Speaker 1: a like like put one shoe as the most expensive
Speaker 1: sneaker in the world. But I would say, up there,
Speaker 1: it's probably like a flom uh flom NIKSB friends and family,
Speaker 1: um tura. I think there's only like twenty four pairs
Speaker 1: of those in existence. I just heard recently of a
Speaker 1: pair of selling for like mid five figures, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: Um paris as bees, they're going for like fifty dollars
Speaker 1: right now? What else I mean, like there's there's all
Speaker 1: kinds of crazy stuff like Freddy Krueger's are going for
Speaker 1: like thirty grand um yellow Lobsters. I think there's only
Speaker 1: like twenty pairs of those two. I don't know the
Speaker 1: exact numbers, but yeah, I mean there's some shoes that
Speaker 1: are like crazy, crazy expensive just on their own, and
Speaker 1: then there's certain shoes that, um that are really expensive
Speaker 1: because of the cultural of significance, like, for example, um,
Speaker 1: a Project Blitz, Like we have a pair of Space
Speaker 1: Jam elevens that Michael Jordan actually wore in the movie,
Speaker 1: and there's only two worn pairs, and I don't know
Speaker 1: where the other one is, but we have one of them,
Speaker 1: and that one we've gotten offers for like three thousand plus.
Speaker 1: So but at the same time, like if that wasn't
Speaker 1: worn by Michael, obviously wouldn't be worth as much. So
Speaker 1: it just depends on what you mean, Like what's the
Speaker 1: most expensive sneaker, Like, yeah, obviously that's a sneaker, but
Speaker 1: it's also a movie prop. It's also worn by one
Speaker 1: of the most famous athletes of all times. So that's
Speaker 1: a really hard question to answer. But um, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about the Supreme Air Force one, so that
Speaker 1: actually comes out on Thursday. And I actually it's funny
Speaker 1: because I wanted to get an all white pair of
Speaker 1: UM air Forces. I didn't want to get like the
Speaker 1: plane ones, so I kind of like I wanted to
Speaker 1: get something a little bit different. Like I have a
Speaker 1: pair of Rockefella UM air Force ones, the white ones. UM.
Speaker 1: I wear those a lot, and I like those because
Speaker 1: they're like white air Force ones, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: they're like they have a little bit of like flavor
Speaker 1: sprinkled on there, you know. So you know, I think
Speaker 1: that the design was super lazy. I think they could
Speaker 1: have done a lot better. Like one of my favorite
Speaker 1: UM air Forces that Supreme did was the one with
Speaker 1: CDG with like the eyes all over it, like so fire.
Speaker 1: That's like that is probably like one of my favorite
Speaker 1: air Force ones in existence. But I don't know. It
Speaker 1: was a lazy design for sure. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, it's still Supreme. It's still
Speaker 1: going to sell out. It's a cool shoe. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm going to buy a pair. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: So let's move on my all time favorite shoe. I
Speaker 1: always get this question, and it's the Red Octobers. I
Speaker 1: love the Red Octobers. What's your top three favorite Kanye
Speaker 1: songs that while we're gonna be here for a minute, Well,
Speaker 1: I would say just because of I don't know, I've
Speaker 1: never really been asked about the songs more so the albums,
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's a little bit easier. But
Speaker 1: I would say good Life is for sure up there.
Speaker 1: That's like one of the first songs I've ever heard
Speaker 1: by Kanye when I was a kid. Um Jesus Walks
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite songs. Hey Mama is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs. Family Business. I wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to name top three favorite songs. I wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to do it. It's just but there's just so man, wow,
Speaker 1: that is really hard. I won't be I can't do that,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to move on from that one.
Speaker 1: But in terms of the top three favorite Connie albums,
Speaker 1: I would say, in no particular order, my favorite albums
Speaker 1: were My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy, Um, College Dropout, and
Speaker 1: Late Registration. That that makes it a little bit easier,
Speaker 1: But yeah, songs, I can't do that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, guys.
Speaker 1: Oh By the way. Um. That was from Chance D.
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking that question. Chance Um. Next question
Speaker 1: is from Aiden G k B. What is your reaction
Speaker 1: when you see fakes in public? By the way, A
Speaker 1: huge fan Ali bro. First of all, I love you too,
Speaker 1: thank you for always supporting And um, when I my
Speaker 1: reaction when I see fakes in public is I'm gonna
Speaker 1: like make it really easy for you guys. It's this
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing like I don't say anything to anyone in
Speaker 1: public that's just rude, um and outright just wrong. Um.
Speaker 1: When I see something super fake, I just in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my God, like geez, like that's crazy. Um.
Speaker 1: It was me because yesterday I I flew back from
Speaker 1: New York to l A. And when I was on
Speaker 1: the plane, Um, I saw a dude with a fake
Speaker 1: fragment Louis Vuitton Duffel bag and it was so fake
Speaker 1: And in my head I was just thinking. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, maybe get a fake Louis Baton
Speaker 1: Duffel bag. But to get a fake fragment Louis Baton
Speaker 1: Duffel bag for you guys that don't know fragment, it's
Speaker 1: like it's a Japanese design essentially, so they did a
Speaker 1: clad with Loui Vatan. It's really cool, um bag. If
Speaker 1: you guys want to look it up, it's like their
Speaker 1: keep All Duffle. If you search luve Itton fragment keep
Speaker 1: all Um, it will show up. So he had a
Speaker 1: fake one of those. And the way that I knew,
Speaker 1: I mean I I could just tell right off the
Speaker 1: off the rip just because of the colors. But I
Speaker 1: mean like there's like threads hanging off of it, and
Speaker 1: it was bad. And then also, um, he actually ended
Speaker 1: up sitting next to me on the flight. Really nice guy,
Speaker 1: super nice um, but he was wearing an extremely fake
Speaker 1: Rolex presidential and I was just like, I don't understand,
Speaker 1: like the fake Louis bag and the fake watch, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if he was. It
Speaker 1: just seemed like he was trying too hard. But obviously
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything. I didn't care, like at all,
Speaker 1: Like I don't care what other people were. Just funny
Speaker 1: when celebrities were fake stuff and they try to pretend
Speaker 1: like it's real. Let's move on. It's moon. Broski asked me,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite YouTubers? That's a great question. I would
Speaker 1: say the ones that I really watched the most, um
Speaker 1: H three h three productions, Love Love Age three h three.
Speaker 1: I'm a gooster, I'm a gafster, I'm a memester and
Speaker 1: um i've been. I've been watching them since the though
Speaker 1: G days. It's it's cool. Um, It's funny because Ethan
Speaker 1: actually reached out to me a long time ago to
Speaker 1: come on his podcast. It never happened, but I know
Speaker 1: he's super busy, so I never really I didn't get
Speaker 1: like offended or anything, but I would love to link
Speaker 1: up with him. Maybe we should invite him on this podcast.
Speaker 1: And I love to have a conversation with that guy.
Speaker 1: He's such a funny guy. Like I've been like an
Speaker 1: o G supporter. They're so awesome. Um, so I would
Speaker 1: say that's one of them, um, beauty Pie, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: we need pooty um. And I would say who else, Huh?
Speaker 1: Those are for sure up there, And then I mean
Speaker 1: there's so many like I love. I love watching Mr
Speaker 1: beast content. I think he's great. I think what he's
Speaker 1: doing for um the platform is amazing. Obviously, growing up,
Speaker 1: I always watched a lot of Casey Nice that which
Speaker 1: was He's great, really cool guy. UM talked to him
Speaker 1: a few times. And who else? Who else is cool?
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a tough question too, but I
Speaker 1: would say for sure, for sure. H three H three.
Speaker 1: I love Cody co Oh. That's another guy who I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed watching Cody Kote. That guy's hilarious and I
Speaker 1: would love to have him on the podcast too. I
Speaker 1: actually haven't met him. I sat behind him on a
Speaker 1: plane once, but I didn't say anything. I should have
Speaker 1: probably said something, But I mean, I get I think
Speaker 1: he's getting into sneakers now, so maybe I could hit
Speaker 1: him up to come on the podcast and kind of
Speaker 1: talk about maybe what kind of sneakers he's into, because
Speaker 1: I've been seeing him wear like offline blazers and I
Speaker 1: think he wore skis one time. But yeah, so uh,
Speaker 1: moving on, here's another question, oh again from our boy Chance.
Speaker 1: I guess he has like two in the row. Can
Speaker 1: you make the podcast longer, like consistently an hour or long? UM?
Speaker 1: I could? I could. I mean most of the most
Speaker 1: of my podcast with UM when I have guests on
Speaker 1: the show, are an hour to like an hour and
Speaker 1: a half typically, But when it's a solo episode. It's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to just talk to yourself for an hour.
Speaker 1: Like I'm literally just sitting in front of a microphone
Speaker 1: right now talking to myself as UM, my friend Juan
Speaker 1: is looking in the other direction, but I'm still I'm
Speaker 1: still talking to myself. So it's very odd, but I'll
Speaker 1: try to make it as long as I can. I
Speaker 1: think that this um, I think that this one it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit longer because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of questions. I'm not gonna be able to get to
Speaker 1: all of them, guys, So if you did send a question,
Speaker 1: I still love you, but I apologize. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be able to get through all of them. There's
Speaker 1: literally thousands, so um, but I appreciate you guys either way.
Speaker 1: So let's see X one. Um Official adult asked me,
Speaker 1: are you going to upload more this year? Yes, yes
Speaker 1: I am. I have a comeback video that's gonna be
Speaker 1: dropping this weekend. I just wanted to make it perfect
Speaker 1: for you guys, So that's gonna be dropping, um most
Speaker 1: likely this weekend. I can't promise anything because you guys
Speaker 1: know me, but as soon as that comes out, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be like balls to the wall posting twice
Speaker 1: three times a week. That was a really weird saying.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever said that. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I just said that, but anyway, I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be like two to three times a week. UM. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start once, but I really want to get
Speaker 1: to two to three times a week. Um, because you
Speaker 1: know I've been I've been really I've really been slacking.
Speaker 1: I really need to start posting more on YouTube. I
Speaker 1: miss it. I really do. Like I had to take
Speaker 1: a break and now I feel so much better. But definitely, UM,
Speaker 1: it's coming in your future, so look out for that. Okay.
Speaker 1: So next question UM I I have is from It's
Speaker 1: Becky Marian. What's up, Becky? How is life going? You know?
Speaker 1: Life is good? Uh? Got Rod bottoms on if you
Speaker 1: understood that reference, I love you. Um. Next one is
Speaker 1: from Battrack. How tall are you? I'm six ft one?
Speaker 1: I know. It's It's funny because a lot of people
Speaker 1: when they meet me at like Sneaker Connor, like in
Speaker 1: public or whatever, they're like, dude, you're so tall, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, I didn't know that six ft one?
Speaker 1: Is it that tall, but I guess people and have
Speaker 1: never seen my legs and um, so they just assumed
Speaker 1: that I was four ft tall, but I am four
Speaker 1: feet all. Actually I'm lying, but yeah, and I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm six ft one. How many people have blocked you?
Speaker 1: That's funny. Um, that's from Emilio. Um. I don't know
Speaker 1: too many to count, bro. I wanted to be able
Speaker 1: to even fathom how many people there um have blocked me.
Speaker 1: How many easies do you have and what is your
Speaker 1: favorite one? I don't know how many easies I have.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have too like, way too many,
Speaker 1: but I live the adidea diseasies. I'd say my favorite
Speaker 1: is the part of black Out. Of the Nike easies,
Speaker 1: I'd say it's the Red October. Next question is from
Speaker 1: that Asian boy. If you didn't become Easy Bust or
Speaker 1: where Slash, what do you think he would be right now?
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I was in med school, so
Speaker 1: I would actually be almost done and I would probably
Speaker 1: be starting residency soon. So another five years of crazy
Speaker 1: hours and studying and yeah, so yeah, I probably would
Speaker 1: have ended up finishing med school and going through with that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably where I would be, honestly. Next
Speaker 1: question is from Ali Pitt Tokyo. I'm sorry if I
Speaker 1: said that wrong. Said what is your favorite Travis Scott sneaker? Huh,
Speaker 1: that's tough. I would say my favorite is is bit
Speaker 1: between the Jordan one low and the s BS. I
Speaker 1: really liked that species. I think that the Paisley on
Speaker 1: him and like the I just really liked that species.
Speaker 1: I would say those are probably it's between those or
Speaker 1: the um the Jordan one loves now. Next question is
Speaker 1: from Jim. He asked me, ever felt the need to
Speaker 1: change your name? Low key? I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: guys a story, and I hope I don't get in
Speaker 1: trouble for this. But basically, I had the user name
Speaker 1: at Busta. I got it from someone who previously had
Speaker 1: owned it, and that was gonna be the big reveal.
Speaker 1: I was gonna change my user name to bust up.
Speaker 1: I had it ready to go. One of my homies
Speaker 1: from Facebook was gonna fix it for me and make
Speaker 1: the change, because I guess like if I tried to
Speaker 1: make the change on my on my own, I would
Speaker 1: lose both user names. So literally the day before the
Speaker 1: change was about to happen. Instagram like deleted thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands of accounts. I guess the person who I got
Speaker 1: busted from got it in a way in which wasn't
Speaker 1: according to the terms and conditions or whatever. So I
Speaker 1: got that user name taken away and it's gone forever
Speaker 1: and I'll never be able to get it back. So
Speaker 1: now I don't really know what to change it to.
Speaker 1: So I just kind of stuck with easy busted, but
Speaker 1: bust that would have been cool, like you know, that's
Speaker 1: that was kind of like the next move. But next
Speaker 1: question and from junior tourists, he asked me, what is
Speaker 1: the best to Jordan one in your opinion? I would
Speaker 1: say the best Jordan One in my opinion would be
Speaker 1: my favorite is the band once you know those are
Speaker 1: my favorites. I've my Pairent from two sixteen. I kind
Speaker 1: of want to get a little bit more of an
Speaker 1: O G pair, but two thousand and sixteen leather is
Speaker 1: phenomenal one of my favorite shoes. Beat them to death.
Speaker 1: Um shout out my boy Tony for hooking me up
Speaker 1: back in the day. Next question, what is a good
Speaker 1: number of shoes to own at one time? So Jonah
Speaker 1: Williams asked me, that is such an odd question. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that one athletic shoe that you can wear
Speaker 1: every day, and then one kind of like more fancy
Speaker 1: shoe that you can wear if you have like a
Speaker 1: meeting or something. Next question, did your parents try to
Speaker 1: always keep you laced up with fresh sneakers growing up? Hi? Mom,
Speaker 1: I know you're listening to this, and Hi Dad, I
Speaker 1: know you're listening to this too. In a way, yes,
Speaker 1: definitely not the fresh freshest like Jordan's and stuff, but um,
Speaker 1: they always tried their best to get me something that
Speaker 1: looks nice. I don't know, Like I said, growing up,
Speaker 1: I was always into fashion. We didn't we didn't have
Speaker 1: like crazy amounts of money to be spending on like
Speaker 1: shoes every week, obviously, But um, it was funny. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you guys a story. In middle school, I wanted
Speaker 1: to wear vans so bad, so bad, like all the
Speaker 1: other kids roaring vans, and I wanted to wear Um,
Speaker 1: I wanted to wear vans, and my mom refused. She
Speaker 1: would not let me wear vans for any reason ever.
Speaker 1: And it was actually funny because one of my friends
Speaker 1: actually gave me a pair of his vans that he
Speaker 1: never wore. I wore him once to school and then
Speaker 1: when I came home, my mom saw them and she
Speaker 1: threw them away, and uh so, yeah, uh definitely it
Speaker 1: was never in like the freshest pair of vans growing up.
Speaker 1: Once I actually started making money, I started buying my
Speaker 1: own vents, and I was like, Hi, see, Mom, I
Speaker 1: don't need you to buy me shoes anymore. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was funny. Next question is from Raheim. He said,
Speaker 1: how do you wear masks all day? I don't. A
Speaker 1: lot of people think I wear massn they think I
Speaker 1: sleep in mass they think I take showers and mass
Speaker 1: I don't. I only wear those when I'm at events
Speaker 1: or when I'm recording. Ben Estrata asked me, what was
Speaker 1: your earliest sneaker memory. Besides the Pirate Blacks, I would
Speaker 1: say my earliest sneaker memory is the Red October's. So
Speaker 1: a lot of people we're trying to clown me on
Speaker 1: the internet saying that, oh, you kempt outside for Red
Speaker 1: October's any come out in stores? I'm like, dude, I know.
Speaker 1: At my local foot locker they had a piece of
Speaker 1: paper taped to the window that said, Red October is
Speaker 1: dropping on this date or whatever. Um, don't start lining
Speaker 1: up until this date. And then the whole thing with
Speaker 1: Kanye and Nike went down, and then um they didn't
Speaker 1: end up coming out, So I totally missed out. At
Speaker 1: the time, I didn't really know about like Nike Talk
Speaker 1: or any forums or anything on how to like you know,
Speaker 1: people talking about how to get them more aware to
Speaker 1: get them. But I guess, I mean the Red October
Speaker 1: was like a shock drop anyway, So um, but that was, like,
Speaker 1: I guess, my earliest hype sneaker memory. This is a
Speaker 1: funny question from Luke kitch um, who's most Who's the
Speaker 1: most famous man slash woman in your contact list? Oh,
Speaker 1: things are about to get spicy, and now I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I would I can't answer that. Being in being in
Speaker 1: the industry and around like stinkers, We've got a chance
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of cool people. But I don't
Speaker 1: want to game drop like that. The next question, UM
Speaker 1: add hiverer, I don't. I don't know how to pronounce
Speaker 1: your user name, bro, And he said, is it true
Speaker 1: that you can identify a sneaker with the smell? Yes,
Speaker 1: you totally can. And I don't know if you're referring
Speaker 1: to fake versus real, but yes, absolutely you can identify
Speaker 1: them by the smell or if you're just saying, like
Speaker 1: oh Jordan versus uh easy or whatever. And in those
Speaker 1: cases you pretty much can because of the materials. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, you can absolutely distinguish them. This is an
Speaker 1: interesting question from m d J. D J. Why do
Speaker 1: you feel that clothes such as Champion that were once
Speaker 1: sold at Walmart or high fashion? It's interesting because, um,
Speaker 1: I never really was into Champion. I still I still
Speaker 1: I'm not. Um. I really like their basic stuff, like
Speaker 1: just like their Plaine sut pants, They're really nice, But
Speaker 1: I don't really wear things that have like Champion logos
Speaker 1: on them or anything. But it's interesting how you know,
Speaker 1: fashion works, Like one day it's a three dollar T
Speaker 1: shirt Aalmartin. The next day so and so is wearing it,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's hot again. I mean
Speaker 1: that's just kind of how it works, you know. Next
Speaker 1: question is from why Stein Wallacker. He said, what is
Speaker 1: happiness for you? Now? This is a very deep question.
Speaker 1: I think happiness is just finding what you love and
Speaker 1: being around the people you love and doing what you love. No,
Speaker 1: obviously you can't be happy, but you can always have
Speaker 1: a positive attitude to try and be happy as much
Speaker 1: as you can. Obviously, life comes and smacks you in
Speaker 1: the face sometimes. But I think happiness is just doing
Speaker 1: what you love and being around the people you love.
Speaker 1: I mean that that that's that's what it is for
Speaker 1: me at least. So yeah, I'm very happy. If you're
Speaker 1: asking James Tran asked me, somebody said that boost is dead.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? I wouldn't disagree, um,
Speaker 1: in terms of resale pretty much. But in terms of
Speaker 1: the general market, I see so many people wearing gas
Speaker 1: and so many people wearing an m d s and
Speaker 1: so many people wearing Ultra Boosts like they're comfortable shoes.
Speaker 1: They're great, They're honestly great shoes. But in terms of resale, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is dead. I mean yeah, I mean the hype
Speaker 1: train just kind of died, you know, like they just
Speaker 1: released way too many and it just wasn't uh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't the best move in my opinion from Adita's. But yeah,
Speaker 1: technically it is quote unquote dead. I'm gonna answer a
Speaker 1: couple more questions here, because there's just so many I
Speaker 1: didn't even like scroll to the bottom. Yet. This is
Speaker 1: a good question from Jack Bryant. How did you start
Speaker 1: making enough money to buy more expensive shoes? Now, this
Speaker 1: is the thing. I had a job at Starbucks. I
Speaker 1: worked there for two years, saved up a bunch of money,
Speaker 1: ended up buying my first parre of Prier Blacks. Ended
Speaker 1: up obviously, um starting easy bust. Um. You know, I
Speaker 1: I made merch. I was grinding obviously, Like I was
Speaker 1: in school at the time too, so I had to
Speaker 1: quit my job. But I mean, dude, like I think
Speaker 1: that the better answer would be would be to tell
Speaker 1: you that obviously there's no writer wrong. Like if you
Speaker 1: if you want to buy your dream shoes or like
Speaker 1: expensive sneakers, if you have a thousand dollars in your
Speaker 1: bank account, don't buy in a thousand dollar shoe. Work
Speaker 1: up to it, you know. Just if you really love sneakers,
Speaker 1: you have a thousand dollars in your bank account, if
Speaker 1: you want to buy a pair of two hundred dollar Jordan's,
Speaker 1: start with that and then maybe start if you want
Speaker 1: to do reselling, then start, you know, buying and flipping.
Speaker 1: Because sometimes, like if you think about it, if you
Speaker 1: have a thousand dollars and you spend two hundred dollars
Speaker 1: on each shoe, and you can sell them for two fifty.
Speaker 1: You can buy five pairs of shoes at two dollars
Speaker 1: a pop for a thousand dollars correct, and then you
Speaker 1: sell five pairs for one thousand, two hundred and fifty,
Speaker 1: So then you're made a two and five dollars profits.
Speaker 1: So basically your pair would end up being free if
Speaker 1: you wanted to keep one, and then you get fifty
Speaker 1: bucks on top of that, or you use that money
Speaker 1: and you buy something else. So um, there's so many
Speaker 1: different ways like reselling, obviously, staying in school, obviously, getting
Speaker 1: getting your degree, working a job, or grinding, and there's
Speaker 1: so many different ways. It's it's there's no right or
Speaker 1: wrong answer, and there's no set there's no one individual
Speaker 1: path that like everyone can follow to make money. But
Speaker 1: I would say that the best advice I could give
Speaker 1: you guys is just just you know, stay in school
Speaker 1: and work, work hard, and if you end up starting
Speaker 1: your own business or doing something that doesn't require school,
Speaker 1: and I say, go for it. But I never want
Speaker 1: to discourage you guys from going to school because it's
Speaker 1: very important. It opens up a lot of doors for you.
Speaker 1: It open up a lot of doors for me too.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would be where I am today
Speaker 1: if I didn't um go to school. Okay, So last question,
Speaker 1: where where have you been in the past month or so?
Speaker 1: I have been nowhere but everywhere. At the same time,
Speaker 1: I've been really busy. I've been doing a lot of
Speaker 1: things behind the scenes, working on a lot of really
Speaker 1: cool projects. I'm really excited to kind of bring them
Speaker 1: to light and make it more public. Obviously, the podcast
Speaker 1: has been a huge thing. Um, I really appreciate you guys.
