I couldn't get a pair of these to save my life. Really? So these days I made sure I don't miss a pair. You're different than him to where, you seem like you buy everything And you don't. I don't. Even when they was doing it- I was missing that part. I was saving my money. I'd be dirtying it, so I could buy a car. There go a pair of shoes here five thousand dollars for the shoes. You go buy a small car, you can go buy a fucking Chrysler for Five thousand dollars. Ain't no shoe ever going to be no wheels. I don't care what you say. But these are my favorite joints buddy. The sixes? The sixes, yeah. Even in the height of you having the deal- with Reebok. Just at the tipping point when people started lining up for shoes. Is it crazy to see how it's become? It's different now, like- Paul Fireman response to losing the bidding war For LeBron was doing lifestyle branding. That was me, Jay-Z Daddy Yankee. Right. All of us doing it. Would you buy Reeboks now? Yeah, if everything else don't fit my size. I got these. KD's? Yep. Is there a player that you like more than another that you would support? Not necessarily related to the shoes though. I rock the mellow joints, cause me and mellow, cool- he's my homeboy. Yeah. KD's cool. This is his aunt- right? The aunt? The aunt pearls.
