Undressed
The Throwback Tapestry
Reflecting on our younger years always brings a mix of nostalgia and face-palming moments; you know what I'm talking about - those fashion choices that seemed so cool back then! Embark on a journey through time with us as we discuss the whirlwind of emotions that come with growing up, including the challenges of mental health and the impact of financial decisions during Aries season. We also celebrate the innocence of childhood, marked by milestones like a first cell phone at age 12, and we examine how parental influence shapes our style choices from a young age.
Kicking things off, our conversation transitions from wardrobe mishaps to the robust world of sneakers and basketball culture. We're not just showcasing our own sneaker preferences and everyday style choices, but also shining a light on how these cultural elements play a role in supporting local Black brands. Join us as we discuss the impact of brand strategies on sneaker culture, the consistent appeal of classic shoes, and the significance of bringing authenticity to our community, one step at a time.
Finally, we wrap things up by blending the beats of music with the threads of fashion. It's about more than just clothes; it's about the connections we forge, whether it's organizing local fashion shows or bringing life to the streets with summer vibes and energizing tunes. We're discussing the importance of supporting black-owned brands like Moneyball Sportswear and sharing our own experiences with social media promotion and community engagement. It's a packed episode that not only entertains but serves as a reminder of our ties to culture, music, and yes, the occasional bizarre drink reaction.

Speaker 3:Um, no, okay, um, my oldest son just likes sweatsuits and hoodies.
Speaker 1:I know that's right.
Speaker 3:That's his thing Joggers, hoodies, sneakers, okay, um, but they're not really into fashion like that. They don't know it's their parents, it's the parents, it's not them. My son is a basketball player to all this one, so he just really wants to be cool the whole time yeah he dressed like an athlete what did y'all wear at 12?
Speaker 1:12 I'm sitting there trying to remember like was I into? I definitely had some windbreakers. I only know that because I had a very particular windbreaker that had like the magnetic clasp on the side of it. It was one of those nike acg jones and I had some old night. I actually just re-bought these two. I found some dude in england that had them, some old acgs that had like a magnetic covering on top of them, like it had like a covering on the shoe, kind of like the 17s, I think, have like kind of like a little crossover jump they do. So yeah, so it had like a. It matched basically the the set I had and like now I'm looking back I was like, oh shit, like my parents really set me up. Then I was just happy I had something that was cool. It had magnets in it. Oh oh yeah, that was my focus at that moment.
Speaker 2:I was heavy Levi's.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, guess, jabo, I'm a little older than you say 12. That was the 12.
Speaker 1:And Jabo.
Speaker 2:Oh, I guess so you did say oh you you were Jabo too.
Speaker 3:I was in Jabo.
Speaker 1:I, I was in Joe jeans.
Speaker 3:I was in Paris Suko. I was in Liz Claiborne. Okay, liz okay, yeah some old name hair and hair looks.
Speaker 1:I think I was in a Tommy a lot then too. I wore a lot of Tommy Hilfiger back then, like the big symbol jumps some overalls.
Speaker 3:Levi's always been there guess what's my Levi back then?
Speaker 1:Fair, fair.
Speaker 3:The full jean joint too. Looking at your shirt.
Speaker 1:I feel like y'all just like it's like mandatory to have some type of swag and I'm not saying other places don't, it's just like. I just feel like y'all's childhood and stuff when it came to clothes was just different than mine in the South and Charlotte right it probably was Bro.
Speaker 1:I be looking at even pictures of y'all grandparents and stuff like that. I'm like, bro, my grandparents did not look like that. They look like what you think grandparents look like in the ugly floral pattern. I'm just saying, yeah, no, I mean my mom now my mom's only like 52, so like she flies shit, but like no, like y'all just kind of like.
Speaker 2:y'all just got a different level of like swag since birth yeah, detroit always been, has been, a fashionable city, no matter what era it is, it always gonna be something here that you can find here.
Speaker 3:First, yeah, that's true, I know. Like in, when my parents were getting ready to have me, they looked like they were selling drugs.
Speaker 1:That's real A lot of leather.
Speaker 3:Was that a lot of?
Speaker 1:leather.
Speaker 3:It was just like suits, Suits. Okay, it was just like suits all the gold chains, rings, silk shirts. Some, like you know, jogger sets. Did they sell drugs.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not even being funny, because the thing is I don't. I don't really know what my boss could probably dress like as a kid, but then they sold drugs so I'm just like well did they sell drugs, because I don't think he looked like that yeah, my kids thought I sold drugs forever too that's why they still do what I come from.
Speaker 3:A background of people who have sold drugs, I would say that I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 1:I mean, I feel like I don't want to just put that on black people, but I mean socioeconomic reasons beyond our control you know, because of the system either or if you weren't selling, you was probably taking it. So it's I don't know. It's a very interesting spot. I always say we talk supposed to talk about fashion, I'm sorry, talking about the crack epidemic in like half a second, like I kid you not like we can talk about a whole thing. How was your week? How was it I?
Speaker 2:pretty. I pretty much had a chill week. I was winding down from last. The week previous to that, uh, my season ended from coaching at cast okay, shout out to. First week I actually had to not do anything.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I coached girls basketball at Cass Tech High School.
Speaker 1:That's what's up JV or varsity.
Speaker 2:Assistant on varsity and head coach for JV.
Speaker 1:That's what's up.
Speaker 2:Yep, so this was my first week to myself, so I just did nothing. Hey, nothing. Be feeling good, man. It felt so good It'd be feeling good Because people don't know how much time it takes to do that. It's really time consuming. I'm at the gym, I mean, if it's not a game, I'm there from 3.30 to 8. So it's five hours a day, then games on Tuesdays and Fridays, so it's just a lot. Parents just don't understand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then the prep work for it, the the emotional piece of it you're talking about basketball, yeah I play basketball, I mean I play basketball with girls. I was a girl, I mean I am a girl anyways oh, so like. But I play like au ball and stuff at that age you know, it's just just knowing, like the shit my coaches had to deal with just because we was girls and gonna act up and be teenagers and shit like that too.
Speaker 2:But I love them to death. They, um, they, they miss me all. They text me every day like coach you coming to the school. I don't have no reason to come up there, guys but. If you want to see me, I'll stop up there yeah, shout out to them.
Speaker 1:So when you go back in season uh, we only giving them really.
Speaker 2:We gonna start back doing summer stuff in the beginning of may y'all got like a team kick. They're sponsored by Adidas. We did get Adidas shoes. The other girls liked them, so they didn't wear them.
Speaker 1:Oh, dang, we got to talk about that. I mean Adidas is we're going to talk about?
Speaker 2:that they didn't get the right Adidas, but we can talk about it.
Speaker 1:We got to talk about it because this is March, madness, a lot of basketball going on. It's been a lot of conversations about basketball shoes. I even saw just a random one. It's like yo we still we rocking jeans with basketball shoes. Again, like it's a lot of different conversations happening around basketball shoes.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 1:Feels a good way to celebrate March Madness. Yo, yes, it was a thing Like why are you wearing performance shoes if you're not performing?
Speaker 2:It's no longer a young people thing.
Speaker 1:Like I work at high schools now.
Speaker 2:So I come to the gym with a LeBron or something on, they're like what are those? And it's like bro, what are you talking about? Y'all don't know what Nike basketball used to be. So yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 1:It's not a thing with the youth right now that's wild, but I feel like it's corny to them. That's wild. What they balling, I don't know. Okay, we're gonna talk about it that's real.
Speaker 1:See them, damn crocs, them, damn, damn crocs. Sweat, see, I need to find sweats, see. So I spent most of my week chilling because I did so much last weekend it felt like to Monday and then by Tuesday I was burnt and it took me until like Thursday afternoon to feel OK. So, but just a lot of work, a lot of getting shit set up for the podcast, like shit set up for a whole bunch of other stuff I have brewing, but it felt like a good week, isn't that? Like you know, like planning, not planning seeds, you kind of pass a planning part right now, you water in you kind of like tending and stuff like that. So you know, just getting really set up for when spring does show his head in detroit, not this um couple inches of snow we got, oh yeah, um out of nowhere.
Speaker 1:Is that why y'all chose sweats today too, like cold makes me want to wear sweats anyways, that's real I do too.
Speaker 2:That's real. Yeah, I'm really into comfort right now all right.
Speaker 1:So what you got on, let's talk about it um everything.
Speaker 2:Shirt and joggers is uh at adversary. Boric crystals, uh. Sneakers is from my man the faded penguin, as alex connelly's at 28, uh shop at 218 this is his own sneaker from his brand, and that's about it. I'm just chilling today.
Speaker 1:Chilling today. I like the vinyl on your shirt. Thank you, it's like that puff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's always a favorite. You're such a designer.
Speaker 1:I know I can't help. I know we were talking about shit earlier. I just can't. I'm like man look at the lines on that.
Speaker 3:It's crazy Such a designer, it's a good time. All right, what you got on over there um I have on a ritzia sweats body suit, socks. Okay, my shoes are new balance. My jacket is fashion nova pandora, tiffany, louis vuitton and accessory oh accessorize.
Speaker 1:I love it. You know I love the ankle piece like it adds a nice pop on top of that gray right there. Hope y'all are seeing that. Um, if y'all can't and y'all want to see stuff, just let us know. We'll come back with some different content. But no, like I love the accessories game. I'm not a huge accessories person, but I really want to get into it. Like I want to start wearing rings. Really, I feel like I could do way more. Two, chains. Two chains.
Speaker 3:I just need chains, I just not I need more.
Speaker 2:I need more. I feel like glasses. Yeah, oh yeah glasses, that's okay all right that's fair.
Speaker 1:That's fair. I'm not looking. I'm not looking at everything like so where do people? Because I thought about going to like a pawn shop or some shit. Okay, okay, that was a good mom, okay you can thrift for rings too that's fair. I'm just I'm allergic to certain metals, so I'm always iffy on that.
Speaker 2:Okay, that makes sense you need to know what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, which is again why I don't be buying too much of it, because I'm like, oh yeah, because you just don't know. Yeah, yeah, tell us about your fit um started the bottom with the over breaks. Um, this is the um dang. What collab was this?
Speaker 1:it wasn't sakai, it was I can't think of undercover it was undercover, um, and I love this pair super, because it did not drop in the us, um, but in the color scheme it's just amazing light flex, um, you know, I'm kind of trying to do a real and those are only like 780 bucks but they're oh, anyways, um. So some pants I got made, um, actually by somebody that follows me a couple years back and I just really started wearing them. So I love these, um, I throw them on when I want to be comfortable. I guess these are kind of like my sweats ish of sorts. They're. They're a very chill, uh, material. So, so that, honestly, is crew next from Amazon, because sometimes I just want a basic, real quick. Yeah, chains of my nails Shout out to Sigma, she keeps my nails on.
Speaker 1:Point Glasses Got a nice shout out Detroit made and I had his Mifflin. Shout out Black brand, of course. So, yeah, it's a good time. But you know, I really I saw these when Alex dropped them, um, and it was crazy, cause I felt like when he dropped them too, it was kind of around the time where people were starting to get sued for shit for as far as, like silhouettes and stuff like that, but I love, and color schemes too, like I love this color scheme. I know it's slightly reminiscent of something else as far as the Duncan stuff is concerned, but shout out to him, I just think that's a dope and I think this was like a 420 drop so you can see the green and what it all that you know means.
Speaker 1:But yeah, and we need more of those like he's the only one that's like kind of dabbled into really the 420, yeah, you know dropping as of late.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they tried to tap into it because it's you know, it's money to be made on that. Yeah, but yeah, that that's really the only brand. Well, oh, oh, no Adidas. They have had like a hemp shoe for 420 as well. So they do some type of things like that.
Speaker 1:I just feel like it's so much more.
Speaker 2:It is definitely. It's so much more left, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:There's so much left on the table for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah, are y'all watching? I can't go to any type of bar without running to a basketball game. Are y'all watching?
Speaker 2:I literally sat home and watched games all day yesterday.
Speaker 1:That sounds lovely.
Speaker 2:Yeah it was amazing what about you, taylor.
Speaker 3:I'm at a bar because if I'm at home I'm not watching sports.
Speaker 2:That's real. That makes sense.
Speaker 3:You got to be in an environment I have to be in an environment.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:And I've caught one or two. So far. But I really don't watch sports like that because I've been with kids playing.
Speaker 2:So you need downtime from sports because you're always at games for them Makes sense.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:So wait, do those kids care about the shoes they wear when they're playing basketball?
Speaker 3:Well, the kids that my son plays with, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Okay, so what are they playing?
Speaker 3:uh, jamarant okay my son playing lebron's.
Speaker 1:It has to be lebron okay, is it like a particular number he likes to play?
Speaker 3:I don't know what this number is. But y'all know, like that lavender-ish color shoe that lebron has yes he done it two years back to back. My son had it two years back to back, okay so he in the 21.
Speaker 2:Now that's the number of the shoe okay so he probably was wearing the 20 last year okay so he always does that colorway, no matter what year of the year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so, yeah. So it's just those um. What is this? Um this new kid?
Speaker 1:anthony edwards yes yeah yo, how did that happen? I'm sorry, I missed it I kind of want to pair.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yo, the shoe is crazy, yeah, the shoe is crazy, but more than the shoe anthony edwards is uh, he's a box office, so he's a box office type player and uh, how relatable he is to kids okay is making it. You know, those two things coming together is making it. You know.
Speaker 1:Take on a life of his own, okay yeah, I'm like I pay attention to basketball and stuff and I really feel like not, it came out of nowhere, but it kind of does feel like that. But I do agree like the design of the shoe is crazy, like it's absolutely crazy. It does like this little wave and like honeycomb thing and you kind of like see it flex and work and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Like it's absolutely crazy. It does like this little wave and like honeycomb thing and you kind of like see it flex and work and stuff like that. Like it's definitely and that's what with?
Speaker 2:uh, adidas yes, I think adidas is they're trying adidas basketball is doing very well yeah yeah, it's just the other stuff, but on the basketball side, they kind of they kind of to me, they kind of winning, because with their signature athlete shoes like the heart and the lillard, the atwards they all do very well and then you know it's cost effective for kids yeah, also oh well, that's lebron, that's nike, that's different. Oh, that's fair, that's fair. Yo, nike man, I keep it hidden in the head.
Speaker 1:With all the prices, everything going up everything like you got j1 strapping for 220 and we're not talking about no special box. No, Yo Nike, man, Nike been hitting in the head with these prices, everything going up, everything Like you got J1s dropping for $220, and we're not talking about no special box, no pack.
Speaker 2:Now, speaking of pricing, I just saw a breakdown of they're about to change grade school sizing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I saw that too.
Speaker 2:They're changing. You know how they're priced. So infant will be from like 5 to 9. Then it will be from like five to nine, then preschool will be like 10 to 12 and then grade school will be like one to seven. Okay, so a size one will cost you 160. Yes, that's so, yeah, they're doing that shift right now. I don't know when it's going to take place, but I actually seen the actual chart of how they're doing it. Yeah, but that is. That's insane.
Speaker 1:These men.
Speaker 2:Just imagine, like a kid, how long he actually stays in a one.
Speaker 3:Half a year. Exactly, some kids go from a one straight to three Exactly.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that that is really crazy, but they've been doing it.
Speaker 3:Air Force On. That is really crazy, but they've been doing it air force ones is 120 guys, so just listen to that.
Speaker 2:And then they're. They just made an announcement that they're gonna reduce production on those as well yeah, I saw that too.
Speaker 1:Who knows?
Speaker 3:see, no, that's they get a new car every year exactly they want.
Speaker 1:Uh, they want you to pay, they want you to pay. Man, that's crazy. They were pushing the dunks like crazy too, like the pandas and stuff like that too. I wonder if they're going to scale back on nope, pandas is the new Air Force One.
Speaker 2:That's what they wanted it to be. Pandas are sitting on the wall you can find a panda more than you can find a black Air Force One right now. Go in your store and look right now. It's crazy that's wild.
Speaker 1:Who's even buying black air force one?
Speaker 2:the streets, buying kids, buying them. They want black forces they don't want black forces. They don't even want the white forces, they want black forces are we like swinging back to black? Well, is there even a swing?
Speaker 3:back I feel like black forces, but like when were we really into black?
Speaker 1:I feel like black forces was just kind of that weird taboo. Like you just don't really wear it, they always look ashy.
Speaker 3:I went from having a classic pair of white and black case lists to a classic pair of black and white, pair of air force ones like that. So it's from middle school to high school the transition shout out to K-Swiss they still make K-Swiss. Yes, they do.
Speaker 1:Okay, I didn't know.
Speaker 3:Okay, okay, we should do that. We should do that. They have a.
Speaker 2:We meaning y'all two? No, I mean her.
Speaker 3:I'm getting my hair, I don't care. But yeah, like when I went to high school, it was just like oh, everybody wearing Air Force 1. Yeah, already wear Air Force Ones. But I really got Air Force Ones when I got to high school. That was like in 03. Yeah, I got in high school in 03.
Speaker 2:I've never been a white and black Air Force One, but I like Air Force Ones, just different colors.
Speaker 3:No, for the winter you needed the black for white.
Speaker 1:Just the black, especially after the black, I mean the white. After it gets creased, you're already in a, but the black, when it starts to increase, it's just like a completely. It's like bro, what the? You might as well just throw them out. And that feels so wild to say I've never owned a pair of white air once of white air, not even with the gum bottoms. Never I got it like I need. Anytime I see like, oh, gum bottoms, I have to buy a pair I got like three pairs sitting at the crib I haven't owned a pair since I left high school.
Speaker 1:What I got a few in the last couple years Gum bottoms. I did some ID Jones, those are always. I got to do a gum bottom. Anytime I can do a gum bottom on something, I'm going to do a gum bottom on something. No, I grabbed a few, but that's crazy. Hmm, what you thinking bro? That's just really heavy thought, like first off, that people are buying black air force ones.
Speaker 2:They are sold out everywhere. I'm trust me, I'm really in tune with what's going on in the stores and they saying we can't keep a black air force, one in the store that's the most caught on.
Speaker 1:Asked about shoe at foot lockers at any of your local stores, they're asking for black forces and I just thought back, like maybe like yesterday, about going back and getting a black stussy air force because, like that was the one time I saw a black air force and I was like what's wrong with them, why you don't like them no more. Um, I'm still heavy.
Speaker 3:I would still wear them if I see something that I like fair but it was like a time span where I wore nothing but that, yeah, yeah, and I want to say it was like maybe 2011, maybe 2014, nothing but nothing but that's what's up.
Speaker 1:That makes sense. I feel like stussy was, I mean, I feel like it still is heavy, but I don't know if it's heavy with the, with the younger kids no I feel like it's an us thing.
Speaker 2:It's definitely a an us thing because, speaking of being around kids, I wore Stussy to a game and they're like what is that Stussy? I'm like no, it's Stussy. They don't know anything about.
Speaker 1:So what are they wearing?
Speaker 3:They're wearing.
Speaker 2:I can tell you what kids at CAS are wearing. They're wearing a Miri. They're wearing all the foreign stuff uh I need your shoes, mommy, I love you um, yeah, I don't know where the money is coming from, but that's what they're wearing. Yeezys, they they wear they dabble. There's a lot of essentials, okay, there's a lot of essentials. Um jordans, of course, yeah, but it's a, it's heavy foreign. I can't even fathom how they have so many different pairs of foreign shoes because McQueen's not even comfortable, so you'd be wearing them like that we talking like $700-$800 kicks off the whip.
Speaker 1:No, Dior's is $1300 I don't even own Dior, I do not either look at these grown people with jobs, not owning things that these children just walk around freely in, and the coats they moose knuckled this. Oh yeah, even the Canada Goose starts in a stack. Montclair yeah, I've seen a couple Montclair coats.
Speaker 3:Do you know that once you wear the coat, if it's in good condition you can take it back, get whatever's? Working and it upgrades onto the coat.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, yeah, I didn't know that, so that makes it more of a better purchase Grey goose.
Speaker 3:I mean not grey goose.
Speaker 1:Grey goose. Somebody need a drink.
Speaker 3:Canada goose they will snuggle. They do those things too. That's good to know.
Speaker 1:Nobody should drink grey goose. We should leave that something. Nobody should drink Grey Goose.
Speaker 3:We should leave that there.
Speaker 1:Nobody.
Speaker 2:No, we're going to leave that right. It used to be my drink of choice. I can't even stomach it, no more.
Speaker 1:I know I used to be Ciroc heavy.
Speaker 2:Me too.
Speaker 1:I used to be Ciroc. It was like part of the culture. Like it's crazy. Even alcohol feels like it falls in line with the trends and stuff we see when it was in was not. Was against tequila for a minute. Now we back real heavy with tequila. The vodka was heavy, flowing, couldn't even get a ball of coconut and shit like that. Now I think there's been some other flavors that have dropped. We don't give a fuck about them flavors like. Crown Royal used to be a big dog too, most definitely the flavors
Speaker 1:apple, crown apple. I love D'Ussé.
Speaker 3:Now we own bourbon like I like bourbon and um an espresso martini. Okay, okay, I've heard.
Speaker 1:First of all, espresso martini is the grownest drink I've ever heard. Like you have an alcohol and coffee you do and it's great that doesn't sound like it's probably not good. It's probably not good for your heart either.
Speaker 3:A little bit of bourbon, it takes like a deep roast.
Speaker 1:A deep roast.
Speaker 3:Yeah it's so good.
Speaker 2:Well, y'all got me. I'm not a coffee drinker.
Speaker 3:I don't do the phone, though. I don't do the phone. There's a phone. That's when your stomach gets messed up.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don, that's a, that's just a grown-ass drink like a martini in general, just feels really grown. It's a really grown drink. So when it comes to shoes, we y'all, we everywhere, but it is what it is. When it comes to, like the basketball shoes that are like kicking. Now, besides the stuff that the kids wear like are we still just in lebron's and jordan's? Um, yo did y'all see the Devin Booker Shaq shit thing.
Speaker 3:I don't know nothing about this.
Speaker 1:Okay, fair. Yeah, of course, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3:So I'm the co-host. That's like out of touch with sports.
Speaker 1:I love it because it lets us yeah for sure.
Speaker 3:Y'all my feedback.
Speaker 1:You're not going to be the only listener or person on the podcast who don't know about a particular thing. Like now, we're here to learn, yo people. I sent the um, I shared the episode like on my like story or something, and I we had a few listeners and stuff that hit me up about like wanting more particulars about like what we were wearing and like our thoughts and stuff and where to find certain things so like nah, we're here to explain all the things, um, because I'm pretty sure some shit gonna happen, especially because y'all around kids, I'm not gonna know what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 1:Like anthony edwards again. Like I'm just very flabbergasted, like this is that new? Does shy have a shoe?
Speaker 2:I feel like shy should have a shoe shy um, he doesn't technically have a basketball shoe. Shy has a um, lifestyle shoe. He's dropped like three different converse. Uh, he got a converse collab because you know converse is owned by nike as well, so he's um. He's dropped like three or four shoes because you know he's a stylish guy. So he's not. He weren't wearing more stuff, you know, to the court, yeah more than on the court.
Speaker 1:Fair, fair, fair. Yeah, no, shy is definitely. I love his fashion and what he does with it. He definitely pushes the boundaries um and is bringing that swag back but speaking of those converse, they they was very dope.
Speaker 2:You could see the work that they put into it, you know, tailored to him what?
Speaker 1:I gotta go back and find these. Yeah, it was a blue pair.
Speaker 2:It was all blue pair. Then it was like a cream pair. They was all the um, you know, with the star stuff, stuff, it was the you know OG stuff and he just put his little twist on it. But they was luxury materials and everything. So they was actually pretty dope.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:This might have been a year, maybe two years ago, when they dropped those.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Because they all came out at the same time. It was like three different shoes.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, no, I'm going to definitely have to go back check it out and look at that.
Speaker 1:But no, so the devin booker thing. So the devin booker, he has this, the what's it called? The book? Yeah, the book, okay, book one, book one, all right, which I mean I think already in itself is just a weird name and so, like it is a very weirdly controversial shoe because, like I found a few people that fuck with it, but for the most part everybody's like, ah, it depends on the color scheme if it's really going to hit or not, but people are saying it's comfortable. It maybe is more of like a grown shoe and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But I guess he didn't love the hate he was getting about it Because Shaq had said something about him needing to leave Nike and come to was it Reebok? Right, and he was like you know, the AI. He was like AI had like one shoe or something, which is also bullshit, um, but he was like but ain't nobody when nobody wearing those shacks? And it was just crazy how much all the blogs and stuff picked that up and like the destroying comments underneath it, like just a just killing off this man, yeah, for like they was killing them.
Speaker 1:So they was killing off devin booker. Okay, because like how, how dare you be so ignorant to all the different silhouettes that Shaq had? Like you talk about. Okay, you got the Walmart and stuff like that which had his own purpose, right To be accessible to kids who couldn't go and spend the bread on the, the Allen Iverson questions and the Jordans and stuff like that, but like the comic, like the kamikaze, what else was his?
Speaker 2:um, the, the hypnotic dramatic is a iconic sex um and what else.
Speaker 1:There was at least like one or two more. I'm like with the pump do you have the pump like what are we talking about? We're talking about very like innovative silhouettes and and visuals to and devin booker's behalf.
Speaker 2:When you caught in the moment of just being asked a question about somebody, you just, you just spew anything because you're not really thinking about it like that. Yeah, and on the other end, speaking of book shoe, nike kind of uh dropped the ball on book shoe as far as the rollout yeah they didn't uh, they really didn't push it before it was.
Speaker 2:They didn't put no dates out when the shoe was dropping. Push it, but prior to the release. So he's getting a lot of feedback from that, because nobody kind of knew. It just came out of nowhere and it was like oh, it's devin booker's shoe.
Speaker 3:So this shoe yeah yeah so this shoe reminds me of what's this shoe? I think a nike roshi.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it does kind of. That's what this shoe, because it really doesn't give you a basketball shoe feel it's more of a like a running shoe. I can see that with the sole and then he's getting a lot.
Speaker 1:He's getting criticized a lot about the colorways as well the orange does like the best it's like the best colorway, though, too that one and maybe one other one, but like the other ones are more neutral colored, like your tans and stuff. Yeah, when he starts going a little crazy with the color schemes, they definitely elevates the shoe, which I mean that's. That's pretty much any shoe, and you know well it's hard to say that because these new bounces are just fucking classics.
Speaker 2:Oh, no that, always and forever. That great, like it's just you can't go wrong, you cannot like that's what man but?
Speaker 1:um, but yeah, I don't know. I I wasn't a fan of his shoes when they dropped. I feel like they're pushing them in a very odd way definitely, and now kind of being forced down. But then also too, I know you said kids are wearing the jaws, but they can't really.
Speaker 2:You know they haven't really advertised around john and stuff like that well, partly partly because uh, josh injured again so he's not no longer playing. So you can't see the season. Yeah, he's out for the season again, so you can't see him play in the shoe on court. So, but kids love them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Kids love John Miranda.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's nothing.
Speaker 2:It's nothing that you can really be able to do with that relationship. They gonna, they gonna continue to grow as john moran grows and continue to purchase whatever he puts out. They just have that kind of relationship and that's the same thing. When we were talking about edwards, I think that's the same kind of relationship they they have with him because aunt so real, he only like 21 years old, so he damn near still a kid yeah, so it's like man, this guy, and he's funny as hell.
Speaker 2:Like if you see an edwards interview after the game, like they interview him after he dunked on somebody in the game. They showed him the video of the uh dunk and he was like, yeah, nigga, I'm like dog. This thing is hilarious he is hilarious.
Speaker 2:And then and then he said, uh, he was walking out and kids was asking for autographs, so he stopped and signed some autographs and one kid was like, can I get the jersey? He was like, no, I gotta get this. I gotta get this to the guy I dunked on today. I'm like dog. This guy is hilarious no, I've seen that.
Speaker 1:No, I saw the dunk, but I didn't see all the extra stuff so it's looking like.
Speaker 2:I don't want to jump the gun, but he has that kind of charisma, like Edwards is possibly the person that LeBron might pass the torch to to be the face of the NBA. He's that kind of a charismatic person and that's that's what's going to make his he's about to take off. He's already a great player. He averaged like 30 points a game Kids are killer, but that's where he's he's headed to go into. He averaged like 30 points a game kids a killer, but that's where he's he's headed to go into.
Speaker 1:That, to that route wow, okay, now I gotta pay more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, please look, just look up a. Look up a youtube and edwards interview guy is. He is hilarious. He's just naturally like that and he thinks he's good at everything yeah I'm the best baseball player ever. Any, he'll say the most craziest.
Speaker 1:Yes, I love it.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Aunt Edwards man. Shout out to Adidas that shoe is flames. I need to actually try a pair on just to see how it feels, but aesthetically it looks good.
Speaker 1:And it looks good with jeans.
Speaker 2:Yes, you can wear it.
Speaker 1:There's a conversation about do you wear performance like these performance kicks?
Speaker 2:with jeans and'm like.
Speaker 2:I've seen some pictures of people with like the jean kind of laying on top of it and it looks good bro, I'm wearing I'm still wearing my nike basketball stuff and, speaking of, nike is starting to retro a lot of signature shoes from kevin durant you know older lebron. So they're starting to bring all that stuff back and I'm so happy about it. Kobe is out of the Kobe, rest in peace. But all that stuff is coming back and I'm going to continue to wear it like I'm going out. I'm still fresh.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Really though.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to think of, like, who else was in this fear? Like, yeah, you had your Kobe's, lebron's, kd's, I feel like there's some, I mean Mellows didn't really there, wasn't really a Mello.
Speaker 2:That was a Jordan Brand thing. He was a Jordan Brand thing, so that's a whole different space.
Speaker 1:What about Iverson?
Speaker 2:Iverson, for sure, iverson, yeah, I've still seen him. Some questions. Most definitely that's an iconic shoe Questions and the answers. But that's the thing I think, the Iverson streets mess with John Morant so much you know what I'm saying. He listens to drill music like they do.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying that's drill music.
Speaker 3:Like drill, is it? It's it, it is great workout music.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I'm going to put that on the Stairmaster, because I started hitting the Stairmaster at the gym and I hate it. I think it's the worst machine ever created in the history of the gym. Shit. I'm going to be honest with you. So if drill can get me through that, then I'm going to be an advocate for drill music.
Speaker 2:There you go. I can't get into it, but I mean, that's y'all.
Speaker 1:There's like a yeah, there is like that.
Speaker 3:It's crazy to get into a rat child having a time.
Speaker 1:I want to see you out in these streets. Man, I want to see you out in these streets. I know some of the people you hang with.
Speaker 3:I want to see you out in these streets if I say I want to go out, I'm going out.
Speaker 1:I want to be a part.
Speaker 2:I caught her out a couple times, but not in that aspect.
Speaker 1:I want to see you out in the summer time. I'm alive.
Speaker 3:I caught her out a couple times, but not in that aspect. I want to see you out, man the summertime.
Speaker 1:I'm alive, that's real. It's hard not to be Summertime in Detroit. That's just a different. I'm alive. I tell people that's like your summertime's in the shot, that's your Brooklyn's. It is a different energy, it's a different vibe.
Speaker 2:Most definitely it is.
Speaker 1:If you not hopping, hopping on, what is you doing? Why is you wasting time?
Speaker 3:it's like do I really have a job sometimes not really like, not really it's optional.
Speaker 1:When the sun is out in detroit and the weather is above like 60 degrees, it's pretty much optional. It's pretty much optional. Is that me making that noise? That was weird, I don't know. But yeah, summertime's a good ass time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, most definitely and then also too, I don't know. But yeah, summertime's a good ass time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, most definitely and then also too. I don't know about y'all, but there's only certain kicks I can wear at like certain times of the year, like I don't wear my yeezys during like the winter because it's cold.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's more of a breathable shoe so the what is made out of is probably not the best to have in cold, you know cold weather, so I love when, like when that time comes around.
Speaker 1:I used to wear Harachis all the time, but I don't wear those anymore. I love. Harachis.
Speaker 2:Harachis had us in a chokehold for a minute.
Speaker 1:Are they like out of style, quote, unquote. The whole out of style thing is a whole different conversation for a different. We need a whole podcast episode on that shit. But like I saw shit.
Speaker 2:But like I saw some like hate for harachi's on my twitter in like the last couple right now in the wrong, in the wrong crowd. Speaking of that not to cut you off, but no, did y'all see the pit? The guy that went viral with when the girls was asking if he was fresh?
Speaker 1:oh, with the new balances. Yes, the new balance, right, he was fresh, yeah, and the olive he was wearing olive today, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, he switched it up from the blue jump, yeah, from the blue joint I thought that was nice. So, yeah, that I wanted to talk about that. Yeah, they was from texas that makes sense yeah so he went viral. They actually. I finally seen this morning the uh picture of the girl that was actually videoing him and asking him.
Speaker 1:Somebody said she looked like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:yeah, but she had on vape or something, so she probably thought that kind of stuff was fresh or whatever but I just wanted to talk about that cause.
Speaker 3:You know this is a 574's that was one of my top favorite. New Balance top favorite.
Speaker 1:That was like the main new balance great shoe I had those growing up as a kid. Heavy, heavy used to go down to florida. And then you get like the new balance outlet or something right, and then the different color schemes and stuff they had, like it's such a classic shoe, definitely classic, classic shoe so yeah, good polo, I mean the crease jeans, but I mean other than that I get it yeah, so that makes sense, but everything coordinated well.
Speaker 2:I think I might have had the polo buttoned up a little bit. I think he had like loose neck okay, well, other than that, and for what you know, he probably was in early 30s, late 30s or whatever. For his age rand, that was a perfect fit, it's a perfect fit yeah clean.
Speaker 3:He said I'm really him. They don't know me. I'm really him and I felt my boy.
Speaker 2:I said you better tell them who it is that's how you do it all they did was turn him up, though from the video he didn't got so many followers. He got like 50,000 followers, so, yeah, he all the way turned. That's something we had to touch on the green wasn't bad either though no, it was more about the poses he was doing and the fit that made it a little crazy, yeah, because he was like on the ground you can tell he's from the 80s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, most definitely.
Speaker 2:But yeah, dog was clean man. And then, like I said, what's fresh to you is fresh.
Speaker 1:Stop worrying about what other people think, because I I get dressed every morning.
Speaker 3:For me, that's for sure a lot of like high in like labels, yeah, same like that, yeah like I be highs and lows, mix the highs with the lows. We talked about that in the last show even my little little suit I got on the day cost some money exactly but it's still chill. I don't have to spend a thousand dollars on a piece just to go fresh yeah because I get down yeah, what I wear yeah, and people be wondering where I got it from.
Speaker 1:I'm like, bro, I'd have had this for x amount of years or I just bought this yeah, I mean it could be a conversation. That style is in you, not on you you know, like it really is, like if you own it, like like my man's doing. I saw him tweet like yo new balance need to run him a deal, so let's not be too shocked when he drank down new balance, got a new balance box.
Speaker 2:They doing unboxings like they definitely gonna send them a care package you got to you got to, you got to, so it's like no, I agree, like there's definitely.
Speaker 1:uh, it's just you and owning it. That's really what it is, whatever you're going to do on it. If your thing is a throw in a whole bunch of labels but you want to look like the mannequins, that's OK for you. I hate it with a passion like y'all have. Just open yourselves up like it is. It really is nothing for me to go grab a basic ass hoodie, throw some weird ass pants on and some kicks and it's.
Speaker 1:it's a fucking fit like it literally takes nothing and it really is just about you owning what it is that you about to wear. If yo, if yo shit is, I keep saying I'm gonna go to walmart and make a fit and I'm gonna do a video on that shit and I'm gonna promise y'all this shit's gonna be fucking flames, bro.
Speaker 1:Heat t-shirts oh my goodness, meyer their car heart stuff like oh, yeah, my my got heavy car bruh, it's so easy y'all, so you do not have to spend the thousands and thousands to to rock. You know particular labels. Also, that shit just don't be looking great all the time either, it don't? It looks stupid.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna say this if you were saying monogram, look head to toe you gotta know how to dress. Why don't you break this up with style?
Speaker 1:yeah, why don't?
Speaker 3:you wear one piece here and another piece there yep or why don't you just wear a whole solid color and then throw on the monogram? That's how you're supposed to wear, if you wear a jacket and then the shoe be monogram too. Yeah, I can get with it?
Speaker 2:yeah, because it's so far away from you so yeah, I don't need that shit.
Speaker 3:From the top of your head to the bottom of your tongue. Yeah, you look like you got it from the flea market even though you might have got it from you it just doesn't. It doesn't, it don't work well yeah, if some of these people be having stylists, your stylist needs a better job bro, what say yeah?
Speaker 2:I just uh, speaking of stylists, just Don just did an interview and he said he wanted to have a dress off with people, all the people in the industry without they stylists, and see who really puts the stuff on.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying who really putting it on in the industry? Who really putting it on? No stylist offset.
Speaker 3:I don't even know who has style.
Speaker 1:I'm just throwing that stuff out. Nah, give it out, I'll give it out.
Speaker 3:Off here we're going to talk. Off here we're going to talk. Nothing to say, man, but off here we're going to talk yeah, for sure, for sure. I don't know that's real. Keith lee has one, but that's because he literally posts her every time her name is britney keith lee.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the um, but his his fits been fitting. Yeah, you can tell. You can see the elevation. You can see the elevation I've been feeling his style. Yeah, yeah, he got a stylist. He got a black yeah, black chick named britney. Yes, um, so, yeah, no, but but that's real, it's not. It's probably not a lot of people that put that shit on themselves. They don't. That should make y'all feel better than out there. Yeah, because like they not doing it themselves.
Speaker 3:So like, open yourself up a little bit, have some fun the thing about being a stylist, because people be wanting me to style them.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm me to style them.
Speaker 3:I get that all the time too, but sometimes it's like you really don't want me to style you because people only want to wear what? They're already wearing. Yes, so once somebody to style you, you want to be out of your box yeah, they're not open to new suggestions.
Speaker 3:Yeah or I can play around with what you have, but elevate it to something different. People don't want to do that they don't. I'm gonna say don't ask me to style you, because it's discouraging when people be like oh no, bro, you could have went to neem, is it had one of them?
Speaker 2:people try to style you, or something yeah whatever, I don't know and all they're gonna do is put you in the most expensive stuff that gets them. You know.
Speaker 1:Make them some money exactly, literally for half a second I really thought I wanted to be a stylist Like I really thought for a second. And then I did a few people and I was like the amount of hours that I took to put these presentations and these shits together for us to eventually end up where we ended up at, not fucking worth it at all Not worth it at all.
Speaker 1:That makes sense. Not worth it at all. And I'm always down for giving. Yeah, I get a lot of dms and stuff about oh you see this shoe, what do you think about this? Or I get text messages, especially around homecoming season, all that stuff. I'm always cool with that, but like no, when you say you want me to style you, you I agree. Like you, you need to understand. I need full right.
Speaker 1:You need to give me your sizes, what you like about yourself, what you don't like about yourself, what you might be alert and then move your ass on and then when I come back you, we gonna do it, you gonna try some shit you might be alert and then move your ass on and then, when I come back you, we don't do it. You don't try some shit. You may be slightly uncomfortable for half a second. Somebody gonna give you a compliment, all that shit gonna go away, and then we're going to do it Like that's. That's really what it is. You also do um. You do stores and stuff around the city, though, too and that was fun.
Speaker 3:I did a fashion show for them, so I started a whole fashion show for them all too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you thinking about doing that more. Huh, you thinking about doing that more.
Speaker 3:I would love to do it more and I know in the past I was supposed to do more but at the time I had like a really declining mental health that took me off that path or whatever, but I would love doing stuff like that because I used to work at victoria secret and I used to do visual merchandising for victoria secret.
Speaker 2:Okay, so to do that for local stores, especially black brands, yeah, that's dope moneyball. Did uh our travel suits for cast the basketball team as?
Speaker 1:well, oh, that's what's up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they so they do performance attire or just like regular clothes or do everything it's more like sportswear I would say yeah okay, but they have athleisure stuff okay, they do okay yeah, but because moneyball is more so known for doing their team yeah, they do uniforms and stuff like that yeah but they have their own, like you know, athleisure stuff.
Speaker 2:They do stuff for golf, tennis baseball that's dope all that stuff I think the um owner, desmondmond Ferguson, I think he retired NBA player from Grant Well Lansing. Yeah, so yeah, shout out to him. Moneyball is huge in the sports, in high school sports all over the state of Michigan. Everybody is using him for their uniforms and all their stuff.
Speaker 3:That's what's up. Yeah, it's open to headquarters up in Lansing.
Speaker 2:A huge store. Okay, yeah, because I know they have something in Southfield too.
Speaker 3:They have a Southfield store too, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. That's what's up though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we use them for everything, those are my people yeah.
Speaker 1:Shout out to them Y'all got anything y'all looking forward to. We about to hopefully this weather break and we get out of sweats.
Speaker 2:I need it to break Even when the weather breaks, I'm still wearing sweats, Okay we're not getting out of sweats y'all.
Speaker 1:But the weather might break and maybe we in graphic tees and not hoodies, we'll go with that. Sweatshorts, sweatshorts, that's real. Yes, I love a good pair of sweatshorts. Most definitely Shout out, no, not to essential.
Speaker 3:I don't like this because I kind of just want to wear shorts.
Speaker 1:Okay, you want the legs out, I do.
Speaker 3:I do, um, I just feel like I don't like wearing a lot of clothes. It's only good in the winter.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:But any other time, like I don't want to have on clothes. That's real, I feel like you should be my statement piece.
Speaker 1:It's just be whatever.
Speaker 2:Okay, that my shoes to be my statement piece and everything else just be whatever.
Speaker 1:Okay, that makes sense. I feel like you about to. I don't know this summer, just this energy you throwing out this summer. Just I just JT about to drop a mixtape about Cinderella City, cinderella, so I just feel like you about to yes, she about to go on tour with like a mixtape with just JT, it's just her.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh so they broke up Are, are we going?
Speaker 1:with that? I don't know, I just hope it's something I can that has good replay value, fair, fair, because that's kind of what Young Miami kind of brings to it, kind of like the oh no, oh damn.
Speaker 3:I thought she did, I don't really like her voice that's understandable, so it turns me off, but JT has a rapper voice that's fair, she's the rapper.
Speaker 1:I don't know if they're actually breaking up, but I just think. But JT has a rapper voice, that's fair, she's the rapper. Yeah, she's the rapper of the group.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they're actually breaking up, but I just think the you know what's going on in women. Rapping makes sense to drop something solo. Just why not.
Speaker 3:That's fair. She never had the chance because she's the one who really wants to be the rapper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then went to jail. She did not pass go, she did not collect $200. She went straight to jail and that's okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:She doing her thing. I'm loving it. I love her style too she's touring with Flo Millie. They're touring.
Speaker 3:Whatever tour, I think Flo Millie's going to be on a tour with JT. Okay, because Glorilla is doing.
Speaker 1:Meg yeah.
Speaker 3:I heard those prices were good too. Oh, that's gonna be crazy. I went to see Megan. I know girls sold out. Yeah, she sold out in Detroit.
Speaker 1:I'm happy for that also, yes, everybody's like well when the tickets happened, but um but no, sold out. But I heard the ticket prices were good too. So shout out to that, because ticket prices been fucking crazy. Also shout out to LCA. Have y'all even went to like the Higher Johnson LCA? I don't think there's a bad seat in that arena?
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 1:It is dope in there. I went to a Red Wings game a couple weeks ago and we were in the Higher Johnson. They had their own bars and shit. This is amazing.
Speaker 2:It's a good facility for sure. It's probably the best one that we have.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:As far as just getting to everything and being accessible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's real. Do y'all have? It's okay. I'm sorry I gotta go back to sweatpants and stuff, cause I need y'all, I need brands and I need things. So we said I'm gonna go to Walmart and target, I'm not buying those.
Speaker 2:We've up the price actually.
Speaker 1:Okay, you mentioned that it was higher than what's higher than normal what's?
Speaker 3:normal. Let's see 250.
Speaker 1:Uh, have I paid 250 I know that's where I'm putting myself into, where I think it's under 250, just for the just for the bottom, because they make tops too.
Speaker 3:But uh, okay so that's.
Speaker 1:That's good, because we talked about the fat, like that's that's really good.
