foreign [Applause] [Music] what's up everybody it's Joe from complex we're in La at Soul stage with multi-platinum rapper Tyga how you doing gonna do some sneaker shopping tonight gonna see what he's feeling what he's not and then hopefully he's gonna buy some sneakers let's see let's go foreign [Music] a few years ago pre-pandemic we went to your house we shot the sneaker collection in the closets but what have you been buying recently oh man I probably got at least 50 pairs out of these really so that's one this is probably about like what 175 pair of shoes that's why we started here because I know that you go back and you get the grills which ones have you bought recently since I've been at the house those for sure yeah I mean I think I had these I had four things I have those so you're always adding always adding to the maybe these these okay yeah a lot of Louie you've been wearing these when we were like at home were you like going online where you weren't pulling up the stores how are you getting them it's online online yeah every day and what was it like eBay or what um goat okay yeah I used to go I use I used to use stockx but they they take too long so like goats right shipping's quicker yeah we talked about it in the past but how do you feel about dunks coming back I saw even a pitcher you had the undefeated dunks on with like the Hawaii's in the background are those dunks that you had back in the day that you brought some of them so there was a store not sport it was a sporty L.A so like back in high school I used to like take the bus up here okay to Melrose and I get kicks from sporty L.A yeah and it was another store um I forgot what it was called but it was like a smaller Boutique that um I used to get like all the SPs and stuff okay like a skate shop yeah it was kind of like a skate shop a little bit okay sporty L.A classic store yeah they always had like all the crazy shoes one thing I think that gives you an advantage is like you were an internet sneaker kid in terms of like Nike talk we talked about so like you you know how to maneuver I used to be on Nike talk when I was like probably like 12 years old 11 years old yeah I was on it I found a picture Yeezy twos you used to go to the gym in the easy twos do you remember going there's a picture of me in the gym were you working out so you like would just go that was like a gym shoe for you it's a gym just out but I think I already kind of like wore them out so I started wearing them in the gym oh so you waited until they said they were a little worn out [Music] tiger when we did the closet you said you love white on white Air Force Ones but it's tough because you only get three or four wears out of them but have you seen recently like there's a trend of people wearing dirty white Air Force Ones have you seen that all over it's crazy what do you think about that I just think that's you know that's just the style of like younger kids you know they don't really care to keep them like fresh and like not creasingly stuff I can't I like I have to have them like fresh you know different era yeah I want to talk early Reebok deal I was like looking through things like you had a magazine cover with Rick Ross and like Iverson and talk about like those days and how special it was your sneaker was moving units yeah it was it was the highest selling shoe at Reebok at a time like wow I think since like the Iverson that somebody that had their own shoe kind of yeah it was it was good man because it was like at the time I was really pushing uh my last king's clothing line which is doing really good so it just fit I feel like it fit with that you know what I'm saying the fans and stuff it was like affordable you know you've had many sneaker deals we'll get to the new sneaker in the next section but what do you think's the best and worst thing about having the deal I think the best thing is having it attach you and the worst thing is having a attached to you okay you know what I mean yeah so it can go either or you know for people that might not be a fan of you but like the shoe you know they can discover you like that or they're people that are Fanning you you know that like the short story it depends interesting not the exclusivity like did you ever Mind only having to wear Reeboks or you were cool with it like oh I I used to get emails all day really like I remember I did Summer Jam it was like when Kanye was like making it crazy hot and I had like the same hoodie he had okay I like overpaid for it okay it was like the pace it was like bandana crazy okay it was like blue but he had just wore it okay it was summer jam and it was my first Summer Jam performing and then I was like you have to make sure you have the Reeboks I had them in the dress room and I was like all right cool cool five minutes before I went on stage I switched them out with the Jordans on and all the pictures online was like I had the whole fit on with the Jordans they were pissed but I was like bro like I just I can't not not wear Jordans yeah the Monday morning email after Sunday Summer Jam what happened here they was they was pissed but we figured it out oh tiger today this morning as this airs you're releasing the shoe with Mischief yeah talk about that project how'd it come about man it took like nine months okay it was like eight nine different tries because it was like how do you make the shoe not too big but how do you make it wavy and able to walk straight and functional so that took like eight well I think this was like the ninth try okay so you may had to make sure it was functional because it's it's like there's rivets in it yeah for sure they had to test some people out skating in them and like you know what I'm saying okay so they went through a full wear test yeah there's like a um a disclaimer on the bottom though so as soon as you you know like if you hurt yourself like as soon as you take the tape off okay what do you think about that brand though they're kind of like disrupters even like the little nazex shoe were you a fan of the brand and not like I like I just feel like they go against the grain and I wanted to do something with them you know so when I uh first reached out to him I was like yo I like what you guys do because they're like really like rc2 and they do other stuff outside of shoes they just do cool little side projects with different people so I wanted to do something with them and this just happened to be like the right thing to do I felt like you know and obviously it's like Your Love of Vans and Chucks but like you want to incorporate kind of like the vans look the Cali look is that funny I mean yeah it's like being from La you know I'm saying those are my top two favorite shoes like it's more of a West Coast shoe you know what I mean like to where you said like a Foamposite or other shoes like that are a little more heavier that's really not like West Coast you know definitely I
