get see what he's feeling what he's not and then hopefully he's going to buy some sneakers so let's [Music] go Ronnie I want to take it back you know first day of school sneaker is always important for everyone but I feel like in the James family very important I found some you and Bryce but Levis Jordan fours yeah so every every first day school is important right what was that like getting shoes picking out your outfit and stuff special uh you know all the opportunities my dad's giving me you know the ability to pick any shoe and yeah I went with the Levis and that year was great something that you said recently one of your favorite SOS a little high vomero yeah vomero so are you the type that like when you love a silhouette like that you'll get every color or you like one color and get multiples of it right now I'm only wearing like three okay and it's like basic colors like black white tan ones I'd wear any of these these are my favorite you know and then besides like Air Maxes and stuff are you like a dunk guy or or what like are you feeling now to be honest right now it's it's Vos okay uh a little bit of dunks in there some ones maybe yeah when's the last time you've been in the sneak store has it been in a while probably before Co okay so years literally like this is your first time in like 5 years yeah wow is it crazy like do you miss that do you miss going into sneaker stores or it's kind of overwhelming to be honest like it's just like a lot to pick from and then we talked about the first day of school pairs but do you remember like your first good pair when you started looking like oh sneakers is a thing that I'm into I think it just built as I got older it was just like what can I put together with a fit and it's just you know so many shoes you can choose from so as I got older it's just you know growing with my [Music] style obviously in the basketball section we talked about the process of picking the fits for like regular Sneakers but when it comes to ball what's the process though H it's difficult a lot it's it's a lot to choose from yeah you know what it's really like whatever I'm feeling that day okay you know Kyrie's Kobe's bronze even some of them um you know really just like whatever I'm feeling that day I'll just put them on you know grab them out of the closet and then you know rock them that day but anything I'm you know is there any wear testing in the driveway or you know what I like to wear shoes till they're like beat okay so I like I'll wear one shoe for a minute and switch so I don't really you know I I I break my shoes in really well so I don't got to you know do all that so there's no like halftime switching okay that's good you know combo really impressed people proor 4 is like Kobe so maybe we'll see these more because you had a good performance are you like any cental like these were comfortable I did really well I'll play in these again I mean I have a lot of them yeah so like I've been wearing them for a minute but I recently grew out of my old ones so I had to you know get a whole another collection but those are some of the ones that I recently got so another thing about your dad's line like the 20 and 21 had specific like for the next generation is a nod to you guys is are you helping him wear test a little bit we were in the lab a little bit I was I was helping him cook up some stuff shoes he wanted to give like some feedback from his sons yeah which I think helped a lot cuz defin came out a great shoe but yeah he's yeah we helped him out and then one thing like out of these do you have like a favorite or it's just like what you're feeling at the time of of his shoes my favorite bronze yeah to play in yeah like the ones for me like first ones Zoom Generations first ones like I I love playing in those they're super light they look great love those but the 20s too like you can never go wrong I mean I helped you know make those so yeah so they're like geared to you obviously you're young 2010 crazy crazy release I think you were six do you know do you know about like how crazy these were when they first dropped I don't know about like how crazy it was but I do know that I had a couple pair of them I wore them pretty frequently espe I played in them a lot so these were like you know like Yeezy level like I was at complex and when these dropped it was like people all around New York City yeah crazy this is probably you know they re-released but like this was such a moment 20110 South Beach LeBron's another thing I want to talk about is how fun is it to get like pees is that like a special now when I got the ones the with the six on the back I was geeked that was special for me it felt like a signature Sho at that point like it was nice yeah it's like kind of like you know Deion Sanders has the quote look good play good so like when you have pees is the feelings different cuz like like you said I'm wearing a shoe that's only made for me yeah it it's different it's a different feeling for sure it gets you gets you [Music] hype as many shoes that you have seen come and go is there one that you haven't got yet or no or that one that you chased for a while um the one CP uh f F the Air Forces P ones I wanted those yeah I've been looking for okay one shoe that we both share love [Music] of Sir black half fours yeah so these probably you know I love the bread fours but these are like a close second for me what do you love about those be able to go with anything anything um they look nice they look they look really tough yeah just put it together be can't beat them and you know you said that you like to beat your shoes the other thing is buttery suede but like they also wear really well yeah yeah this amazing shoe I've had many pairs of these okay so you replace these even yeah such a great shoe damn oh God yeah we we're going to his angle on that that's all I need um another thing at complex High School graduation wow these are small but every time we post this photo every time we post this photo it goes crazy what was the decision to wear Phantoms Travis Scott it was just the the mood that day like I I had the black jeans that I had that day and you know can't go wrong with black like the black hats yeah I just I just felt like putting them on and it and it you know looked good definitely this got to be like a size six and his hand covered the whole thing but but it it goes to like that black suede and it's it's like a a lot more casual shoe who would you say is like the biggest sneaker head in the family
