what he's feeling what he's not and then hopefully he's gonna buy some sneakers forget it let's go Wayne early memories I read that used to draw the swoosh and the three stripes on folders in school but girls were more impressed by the swoosh not the three stripes because it's just three stripes do you remember those days in school I do I used to do for what did they tell you that I used to do for other people no yes I would have like five or six folders waiting for me at school because I need to I had to do it on those girls folders Wow and they also used to like to upside-down swim or okay yeah not sure why but yeah but you said you know anyone could draw the three-strikes the nike impressive yeah I think I'm gonna make something used to the dude used to rather the hose shoe okay yeah you know the girls just want to make a check by just a three-three you know dude they want the whole can you put the whole jar don't want the jar no no you better take a picture of it I got that fire video Reebok drops off a bunch of Reebok workout lows and you guys start that trend and one thing Kendrick Lamar signed to Reebok a few years back and he said I remember watching little Wayne in that video with them so the influence comes full circle but recognize that sneaker with you guys in a long there was a uniform thing there's a late great rapper mag no you smell the world enormous Soulja slim right he had a song way before he was national he had a song a local song called soldiers the song was about Paraiba so juries exactly and so you know that's that the trend so it became a thing there's an uptown and down in New Orleans it became a thing of you from uptown you must have almost every box and you just had to I don't care what you could have had gucci head ankle okay yeah yeah we obviously know you're a skateboarder you picked it up but you said recently i wear vans you're not wearing vince tonight because at any time I want to be able to ski gear so nowadays it's more vans just in case just in case just in case is popping off you could do ones I found Adam found out that I'm a little comfortable in one Jordan once yeah okay good do ones are good do some dunks yeah but it also now you know I'm pretty designed yeah once y'all yeah you rent to yes so nowadays if I'm gonna do it maybe the Kristen deal come digging some that found myself skating around and knows what I have found is easy to skate and didn't think they would be was actually the big one so Triple S is yeah because of padding because of this Wow when you jump in when you jumping off of something and got this then that is the extra is the extra you know mean that's it was just in advance you gonna peel that yeah no support yeah Wayne the super deal what was funny is they were sending boxes and boxes you didn't even seek out the deal they approached you remember those days the sky top I bought everyone that you were wearing red sky Founders Day I did it just that oh I do I do messed up by because they didn't want to do what I wanted to do they had an idea of going that kind of no no no no no stay compete of your right but they they saw that uprising of easy shoes okay at that time and so they wouldn't it came at me with the ideas like this is the shoe you want to put out and I was like it looks like a shoe God when he was doing the Nike shoe yeah like it was like you know so I understood you guys turn to Robbo and take me as like when I'm trying to be I like to skate I was like I'm still skating super but not for my shoe got it I'm skating you guys skate shoe yes you want

it once it wasn't what I wanted it to be yeah Marisa Flores ah man seventh or a hundred to two hundred pairs of sneakers no alpha at night a night yeah and then she said she would Whittle it down to like 35 for you you've had so many iconic fits never an outfit planet just on feeling unheard she plans outfits but I never worn okay plan okay yes so that's why I goes she is she has it all planned out yeah you know I'm gonna come in and say yet that looks better with this isn't got you sure okay she got the clothes together and you would pick and share exactly as like she brings the paint got it and she brings the canvas and I just throw it on there and we figure it out that way but I am nothing without her you give her a lot of props I have nothing I haven't never haven't been in the mall and shopping over I want it to be fair I would say over 15 years Wow yeah she does all the legwork travels with you everything yeah I haven't had to it's funny because I just walked in here and I'm seeing all this stuff and I'm like you know I didn't I don't know what they're selling right and when I just get it from Marisa so nice and I don't see it on no one else or anyone else that you know she's gonna definitely let me know these are the brand-new these aren't coming out nobody's gonna yeah and I'm looking around and I don't see none of the stuff I have in my closets nervous that you

you're aware of I mean I'm not a sneaker here but I'm from fresh is I'm gonna I'm gonna know but you know sneaker is like my man teeth shut out teeth you know he's gonna know no those don't come out to such and such oh no those were the ones he wore in games such and such yeah you don't remember when he was when he hit me be like no I don't remember exactly and you're a big sports man but it's all about the sports not the shoes exactly amazing courtside style even complex does post some time to look back at little Wayne's courtside moments so much heat I had season tickets for the first time when I was younger in New Orleans for the Hornets even when you have season tickets you you finally you start noticing you go to your first two or three games funky yeah you start noticing like what is this is it twice three times a week right and you didn't know you don't like thing so you have those days going out to sweats and you're going there which actually was laying around the house with all day you actually put all you wear that sometimes the number two man okay and got season tickets for the heat and total difference yeah total difference that I don't care if you got seven games in a seven-game week you got to be funky Oh seven ear you might you never know where is that it was a totally different thing totally a different feel felt like you you know you feel like you getting ready for something everyday anybody play one one play with you absolutely I mean gotta be funky [Music] you said a couple years back you know on stage sometimes I wear Jordans but a lot of times are the ones Drake slid me and they're super exclusive here - yeah crazy always got the exclusive J you know he got the collab yeah you know I don't know how you know I'm not not prestige enough

on that Marissa says that no I don't know those are out I don't I can't get those Marissa says say that then yeah we talked about over there skate shoes but 2016 you were skating in SP a lot like ESP so did you like that Nike Duncan that Nike SB era I loved it um I loved it for the simple fact that everybody was wearing the shoe and just wearing it knowing we had anything to do it's gonna have you don't know at that as beaming skateboard right a lot of people right and quick to be like yeah I need them as bees I don't know what a Dyess be means totally so what I said I love the fact that you know if you escape we love to film it yeah we'd love to put clips out so for the simple fact that I am nowhere near not even a good skater you know I just love to do what I do so what that's it to put a little add a little flair to my clips so the shoes on that everybody is dying about and all of a sudden I started noticing how just when I'm just like a look that yeah I'm start getting cosmic you skating in the super rare yeah so nice nose okay that's another twist going on to my clips yeah he's skating in this such and such as you know I mean so that's why the SP thing but then now I'm going to my skate in there so I don't matter how cuz guys came here for the perhaps alright one more question I didn't know this truck fit we actually had the baby a couple weeks ago and he said there was a
