Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's going on? Guys. Welcome to another episode of Legit Check.
I'm your host Easy Bust, and I'm here with my
good friend Keegan Allen. Thank you for coming on, and
go ahead and introduce yourself to uh, the Bust of
fam and everyone who's listening to Legit Check. Everybody. Keegan
Allen here, really excited to be here. I've known Easy
Buster for a long time and I'm really happy to
be on this show. How long has it been? When
(00:21):
did the easy things start? When? When? When did it
really start? Beginning of two thousand fifteen, I'd say that's
when it really really started. It went crazy, yeah, because
I was like, Wow, Turtle doves are cool, and then
was like the Red October's and all that stuff started
to shoot up in the insanity. Well is because of
(00:41):
the whole beef that went down. Remember when that. Yes,
Like I was literally at the concert when Kanye like
renounced Nike. It was crazy, Like he went on like
an hour rant and he was like fuck Nike, yeah,
and I was like and he was wearing Red October's yeah, same.
How can one man have that much power over the
entire fashion industry? That's literally quoting his song power. That's
(01:04):
why I love it. Yeah, it's insane, man, It's insane.
So yeah, I mean around that time, I guess it
was well I started my page end of two fifteen,
so the easy craze had just started. It was like
everybody was just getting into it. Well, I mean, the
Adida is easy craze. I'm sorry. And then I guess
we probably met two thousand sixteen. Yeah, I I okay,
(01:25):
So how we met was really interesting. I being an
actor constantly wanting to like flex and look cool but
also not flex, I got really sucked into, you know,
hype beast. I was really taken by these shoes, by
these sneakers. And I remember not knowing anything about anything.
And I show up to Flight Club in Los Angeles
(01:46):
because I would walk by there all the time. I'd
pet the dogs next door at Barks and Bitches, and
then I would walk next door to Flight Club and
I'd always see lions outside of Diamond Diamond Supply. I'd
see lines outside of like every all the Tyler creator
on the street hyping people up sometimes like shaking champagne
bottles over like people that were sleeping on the streets.
(02:07):
That that literally I thought we're homeless, and they're not.
They're like hype beasts. They're like very wealthy, like trust
fund kids that are sleeping on the streets waiting to
buy T shirts for five and so I always used
to think it was the dumbest thing until I went
to flight Club and my friend, a friend of mine,
Chrystal Leiah, he was like really into sneakers, and one
(02:29):
of my good friends, Cothas, who's a YouTube streamer, he
always would wear like Nike and Diamond Supply and Supreme.
Before it was like really crazy, but when I got
into that's why I'm wearing my moon Rocks today. Li Flex.
But I bought them, and I have no shame in
saying this. I bought them way over retail, like to
the point where it was nauseating. I bought them. I
(02:51):
felt sick to my stomach. I still do, still do,
still do, Okay, But when I bought them, I love
of them and I still love them. So it's worth
it to me that I got something that at the
time was so impossible to get and still relatively hard
to get new moon Rocks absolutely, like how hard is
it to get these original versions? There? For sure a
(03:14):
lot less accessible than the CoV twos these days. I
mean they still have a premium, Like there's still a
thousand dollar shoe. What depends on the size. But if
you walk into like a store on Fairfax or Melrose
these days, is probably unlikely that you'll find a dead
stock pair, right. Dead stock is really difficult. I still
and I so I bought I went nuts and I
bought a bunch two stock and then to rock like
(03:35):
that was the thing I got into. And then we
met because I was so I okay, So I love
when watch companies. I'm a huge watch enthusiast, and I
loved following. I never thought of it as as bullying.
I thought of it as I totally respect the fact
if you're gonna wear counterfeits shit, I respect that you
(03:57):
are just living your life. But if you're gonna try
and pretend that you are this like cloud person, you're
trying to like show off and make other people feel bad, like,
there needs to be an iron fist of justice. There
needs to be somebody out there that's running around and
regulating these people that are that are really like they
(04:18):
should not be doing that. I saw your page and
I became obsessed and I thought it was the coolest
thing ever that there was someone out there that not
only like was really regulating, but you're untouchable because no
one knows what you look like. You are superher essentially
a superhero. Yeah, it was amazing. Was it was it
weird for you the first day when you saw me
(04:40):
and you're like, oh, wow, that's happen. Yeah you you
you show up as like a totally normal guy. It's
it's amazing because like you put you know, anybody that
puts on it is like no one cared who I
was until I put on the mask kind of thing, right,
but like you really have a persona online and it's
true you like, I don't want anybody to get the
wrong idea here that he's like, you know, not going
to regulate you if you if you step out of Bounce.
(05:03):
But it was amazing because you know, you have just
as deep of a passion as the highest sneaker head
on on the planet. You have a reverence for these brands,
You understand what they're doing, you respect them, and as
an almost like a custodian of peace, you're going around
and making sure that these brands are protected. It's pretty
and it's pretty amazing. And then you're just this as
(05:25):
nice as could be, humble, normal, down to earth kind
of guy, and uh I immediately we hit it off
because I was like, this is amazing. You would think
that you would have an ego the size of you know,
this building that we're in, but you're the nicest, coolest
guy down earth and you like, you just have a
You just care, that's all it is. Appreciate them, and honestly,
everybody back at you because man, like being in the
(05:47):
whole industry for the last five years, it's it's difficult
to come across like super super genuine people, you know. So,
I mean, dude, Like right off the bat, I knew.
I was like, Damn, Keegan is like one of the
coolest people I've met in l A. And that says
a lot man. And then you you hooked me up with.
One of my favorite sneakers was the V two is
the original VI two Belugas, and they were so so cool.
(06:10):
Rock them all the time, love them. It was one
of these moments where I recognize that, you know, certain
shoes are certain t shirts are really rare things in
this industry. People want that experience of getting something that's unobtainable,
but it's so obtainable at any time if you have
(06:31):
the money for it, Like it doesn't matter what it is,
you can buy it if you have the money for it.
But it's about who you know within this industry, because
at the end of the day, it's just fabric put
together from someone's vision, and like how much you're willing
to pay for that, really, you know, it varies on
who you know and actually realistically how much you care
(06:54):
about it, because there could be people that are that
are just doing it to flip it and you can
tell immediately that they do not care about what this
product means artistically of course, But it's so special when
I met you and realized that there is a whole
other world behind the veil. And even though it does
have to do with like power and the entire view
(07:15):
of who you are to the world, like this image, right,
it doesn't it boils down to like it's just about passion.
It's about like real passion about passion, passion about fashion.
I love that. I love that. Yeah, I mean I
think that the biggest thing is if you're doing it
for the right reason, Like like you said, if you
have a passion for fashion. If you're really into it,
(07:36):
then it's great. Certain people that I know would just
spend the money just to look cool, like, oh, I
want to be like and I was that guy. I'm
not gonna pretend like I'm gonna sit here and go
like those people are so lame. I was that kind
of am a little but every everybody at one point
is that guy like me, especially because at first I
didn't know anything about sneakers. You know, some people to
(07:59):
this day try to say that I still don't know
anything about sneakers, But like when I first started, I dude,
I was just a huge Kanye fan. Giant Kanye nerds,
still am to this day. Please come on my show.
You know it's funny. Is he absolutely knows who you are?
I mean, that's for sure. You're you are like to
bring Star Wars into it. You're essentially like you're the
(08:20):
mace window of the Jedi Council of his brand. You
are the custodian of peace for that brand. There's no
way that he doesn't know who you are. I mean
he probably he's probably definitely knows who are you. I mean,
you've you've effectively made you know, counterfeit companies. I think twice,
because even though they're gonna always there's always gonna be
(08:43):
counterfeit stuff, it's always gonna get better. It's gonna be
to the point where you can't tell the real stuff
from the fake. But I'm just gonna tell him the
real reason that we met. Okay, because I bought a
pair of fake turtle doves on eBay for three d
and forty dollars. They were used at the time. I
was like, I don't want to spend you know on
(09:04):
trainers happen to me. The only thing I'm gonna do
is use them at the gym. So I buy these shoes.
This is a fun story. Here we go. This is
this is podcast material, like this real sneaker fodder. I
get these shoes, I get them out of the bag.
You know, their shipped to me on eBay, and you know,
three dollars at the time or at any time is
(09:25):
a lot of money for for sneakers. And I just
really wanted to flex and feel good. And they looked
really comfortable and they have the you know, they have
that phone on the bottom. All it's like this technology
is new and like cool, and the patterns neat, and
then they come out of the bag and I'm like, hmm,
this looks a little uh, it looks a little different,
but it's fine. I mean, it's fine, but they probably
(09:46):
just because they were worn and they're heavy as fuck.
They're so they're like the heft of them and I'm like, God,
this must this means the weight of them means that
their their lucks. And I put them on. It's like
walk around bricks like, and I remember being like, this
doesn't feel right, like something feels wrong. And I went
to the gym and them and my feet hurt, and
(10:07):
I was just like, this is something fucking weird about these.
I sent you all the pictures. It was right when
Instagram allowed you to retract messages, so I sent you
all these things. And then I was like, I got
really embarrassed because I realized that they were fake on
my own accord. I was like, these are fake, and
then I retracted all the messages. I was like, funk,
I hope he doesn't think of something like losers that
(10:27):
they couldn't tell that these are blatantly obviously fake. And
I think you know, obviously you had seen them, and
you're like, yeah, sorry, that that happened. So I get
into this dispute with eBay and this person is like,
I'm thinking, they're just like the worst. They're like scam
artists at this point because they allowed, they knew that
(10:49):
they bought a fake sneaker and they sold it. So
I go on this hunt for this person for real.
I'm I'm livid. I'm like, how dare they go online
and try and scam anybody? And like I felt so
like empowered to be like you, you scammer, you know,
you know? Burn these never sell them. But this is
(11:12):
where it gets interesting. eBay won't release any information about
the about the seller, and the seller reaches out to
me through eBay and goes, hey, listen, can I have
those back? You? You got your money back already, but
can I have the shoes back? And I'm like, fine,
as long as I meet you in person, I'll give
you the shoes back. So I go on my motorcycle
(11:34):
with my helmet on just so that they don't see
my face, just a case. Like wait, they were not
just in l A. They were down the street from
where I live. They worked in a place where I like,
right in my community. So they come outside and it's
like a kid, he's like seventeen, and he works at
(11:56):
this like this store and he comes out and he's
all bummed out, and I'm like, dude, what the fuck.
And he's like he's like, dude, I bought them on
eBay from this guy, and I didn't know that they
were faking. When I got them, I was just like
so bummed out. So I tried to flip them and
I'm like, oh my god, it's like he got he
(12:16):
got scammed. So I'm like, who is the person who
bought him from? And he's like, I don't know, and
so we both got involved in trying to find this person.
We end up finding out that this person lived in
China and bought them from like a shoe manufacturer in
China for like fourteen dollars and sold them to someone
within the United States for three fifty dollars. So it
(12:39):
was a pretty crazy like lesson that like sometimes the
people that like are scamming or have been scammed themselves,
and the kid is actually really nice. I kept in
touch with them for a while and I was like,
I'm sorry that that happened. Actually got involved with eBay
and refunded him so it was amazing. But that was
like how we got kind of got involved. And then
after that it justified me going to flight club and
(13:01):
spending that kind of money because I'm like, I'd rather
spend the money and know that I didn't get something
kind of refitted. Of course, deal with the entire thing anyway, Yeah,
this is this crazy story. You went full like Joe
Goldberg on him, just like investigation. Um. But yeah, I
mean like kind of like what I was talking about
when like people thought that I don't know anything about sneakers.
(13:21):
I mean I'm still learning. Everyone's learning. But at first,
like how you said like, oh I was that guy.
I was that guy to everybody at one point was
that guy because they were like why is this so cool?
Why is the sneaker selling for so much? You know?
So then they buy one to kind of like try
to fit in, And that's where I think the disconnect
is because some people are like, oh, let me buy
the real one so I can like really flex, and
(13:43):
then some people like, oh that's too expensive, let me
just get the fake one and looks the same. And
that's where I think the disconnect happens. Bro, There's like
a whole reddit like dedicated to fake sneakers, and then
there's a lot of members and they're die hard, like
they hate me. I don't know if you saw my
Vice doc that came out amazing, man, like I talked
about it and I didn't even say anything about them,
(14:04):
like in a negative way. But literally it's all over
read it like easybust to kill yourself. You're the scum
of the earth. You don't know anything like all this stuff.
It blows my mind that there's people that literally wake
up every morning go on this specific reddit and we'll
research fake sneakers and exclusively by fake shoes. It's interesting.
(14:25):
So this happened in the watch world, and I actually
bought into one of these watches, so that everybody knows
about the Paul Newman selling selling essentially back to Rolex
for seventeen million dollars um. But what was interesting about
that was that there's another company called Gevril or General
or Grill Tribeca, And in the nineties there was a
(14:46):
company called Guerrill that made essentially what the three Paul
Newman looks like as an homage piece. It was not
supposed to be like a counterfeit watch. It was just
like a and amage to be like, we love what
Rolex did so much that we're making an homage to
(15:06):
this exotic looking piece of herology. Now, ununfortunately, Rolex didn't
sue them or have anything to do with them, except
that they allowed them to essentially manufacture parts that were
The bezel and the pusher can be interchanged with a
real Rolex. It's indistinguishable. So you're dealing with now an
(15:27):
entirely different subculture of you know, chronographs. And I ended
up buying that watch. Now they're crazy expensive because of
all of the hype around the fact that you can
get and essentially the exact same looking watch, to the
point where no one will know unless they get really
close to the dial and see that it's as Gabril.
But they're all numbered. There's only five hundred of them
(15:48):
in existence. But it's the same thing in the counterfeit world.
I assume that there is a reverence for duplication, and
some people don't come at it with mau intent. Some
people don't come out as like, oh, I want to
flex like because I want people to know I have money.
There's like a genuine part of somebody that's like I
love the way that this silhouette or this color way
(16:10):
or this shoe looks, and I wish I could afford
it with my paycheck, but I cannot. So how can
I achieve the exact look that I'm going for without
spending five thousand dollars? And what I noticed is that
like in these Reddit forums or any of these things,
it happens with watches all the time. Like the Nautilus
is a perfect example. Eleven. You cannot buy that watch
(16:32):
for retail if you can call me, because I don't
buy it from me for retail um. But but it's
one of these things where so many people now have
bought these, you know, from companies called like rocost I
think on Amazon makes a watch that is identical looking
to the Nautilus. Okay, and it's a great watch. It's
like a good watch. I mean, I wouldn't like suggest
(16:54):
buying it if you're if you're, but maybe you should
because it's it's a it's an example of duplicate shin
for reverence. Not so that you can be like I
have a real fifty seven wards you would be like
I have a watch that it replicates this almost general
genta design that is in reverence to duplication, and that
(17:14):
presence of respect exists. So I feel compassion for these
people with them this subreadit because there may be a
majority of them that genuinely love the way something looks,
and absolutely because of the fact that there is such
a you know, an enormous amount of interest in a
certain product is possible to get. But like that watch
(17:36):
that looks like it doesn't say particularly on it, so
it doesn't but on YouTube. I trust me, man, you
know I'm a watch guy. So I was so sucked
into this this thing I follow like risk Buster, Rolics, Enforcer.
They're the easy bus to esque world of watches, and
there's a ton of them out there. But because of
Instagram's recent there's anti bullying parameters put in place, like
(17:59):
it makes it makes their job and your job a
lot harder to to essentially point someone out and be like, hey,
comment F on somebody, or like L on somebody's um sorry,
F is for respect, L to everybody that that is
essentially fake, call them out. And I think it's important
to sometimes do that, even though it's like public shaming,
(18:20):
Like people need to know. People need to know, like
if you're if you're faking like or sometimes like they
don't even know that they bought something fake. There's been
a lot of situations where friends have come to me
and been like, to look at this role X I
just bought for six thousand dollars in the Bahamas, and
I'm like, get over here, let's find that back to
Bahamas and get your money back. You know kind of thing.
(18:41):
You can't do that, but but I'd rather people be
protected by that knowledge and all all of their followers
be protected by the knowledge that something maybe doesn't exist
because they might. God, can you imagine some of the
stuff that some of these major following accounts have posted
fake supreme stuff that doesn't not only doesn't is it fake,
but doesn't exist in at all by the designer that
(19:04):
you've saved hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars for people.
That's the part that I think is very important, and
maybe these forms don't understand that. I always say this,
I'm very vocal about it. I don't give a ship
if somebody wears something that's fake, I don't care. As
long as they're not trying to pretend like there's something
(19:24):
that they're not. It makes total sense when when I
was when I was in Australia actually recently, I was
at a clothing store and this guy was wearing eleven
and I went, oh, wow, that looks not correct, like immediately,
like I was like wow, fifty seven, Like it was
(19:44):
that weird impotence that hit that hit immediately because I
was like, wow, that's a fake watch immediately and his
response was golden. He's like, oh, yeah, it's totally fake
because I can't afford a real one. I love the
way it looks. It's fake though, Like so he came
out immediately and it it was like it's fake. If he
would have been like, yeah, I got it, so it's
(20:04):
isn't an amazing the construction, I would have been like, bro,
bra well well yeah, I mean that's the thing. And
people think that I'm I'm going to be the dude
who just walks around and like points at everyone choose
Hey those are fake, those are fake. Those are fake.
Like no, I'm not that guy. I do it mainly
to celebrities and people who are supposed to have the
real stuff because they're supposed to have the money, you
(20:25):
know what I mean. But people have this like preconceived
notion that I'm some sort of douche that I just like,
I'm like, hey, those are fake. Those are fake. And
like a few times I've caught myself like very similar
to what you just said, Like I walk up with
something like oh, dude, those are great, uh yeah, cool shoes,
And then like, you know, so where do you think
(20:47):
for you, because we were talking about this before, Like
where do you think that disconnect happened? Do you think
it was when Kanye just started dumping the market with
like seventeen different color ways of the same actually seventeen
very similar color ways of the same shoe. Do you
think that was kind of like the time when you're like,
well you never into like Jordan's or like Nike or
as Bees or I was they were just so expensive
(21:08):
and and and then and then not only that, but
it also felt uh like the shoe culture and that
that entire like there were there were different subcultures within
fashion that I felt disconnected from because a lot of
it was like side eyed, like if someone was like
really into something and you walked around with them, they'd
(21:29):
be like and I'd be like, dude, what the funk?
Like I'm just enjoying my basketball shoes, like get your
panties out of your I get your supreme panties out
of your gass. But but but I think the disconnect
really happened. And I remember the moment because remember the
V twos came out with the red green, it was
the copper, the copper, red and green and then and
(21:53):
all of all. So I remember waiting in line for
those and thinking like, this is this is the end,
this will never this is it. The moment he he
drops these, everyone's going to have a pair of Yeasies
and the brand will it won't be as like, oh
my god, Yeasies, like it will just be a trainer,
(22:14):
which is which is great and also just like the
end of an era. And I think that obviously, like
him dumping all that stuff into the market didn't help
and it helps him exponentially. I mean, the company is insane,
just completely in my opinion, undervalued in in the fashion world.
I mean, he's he's legit um And even these new
futuristic looking crocs that he came out with are like
(22:36):
as much as I saw it's it's exactly didn't we
talk about this when the fucking V twos came out
I remember texting me and being like, dude, I don't
know about these, like these like so lame. And then
at the second they came out, I was like, how
can I get a pair of these? Please? Time? Like
it is and and and that happened recently. These crocs,
(22:57):
I'm like, I can't. I'll never wear these. Now. I'm like,
I go on GOAT and I'm like, or I go
on stock X and I'm like, take the l dude,
I'm ready to like because there's there is this, there
is this. It's always gonna happen. It's always going to evolve.
You're always going to look through history, and the duplication
(23:18):
exists throughout history and everything. I mean, I recently just
got really uh, you know, I went through a home
renovation and I wanted to try and like emulate the
very original parts and aspects of creating a cabin that
is authentic. And a lot of antiques malls a lot
of like going around and like checking out stuff, and
the antique small traders are like all the easy busters.
(23:40):
So if you go in with like a grizzwold cast
iron pan that is like a hundred and fifty dollars
because it's like a beautiful plated green cast iron or
something handle. They'll be like, oh, no, this is a
duplicate actually from you can tell exactly that if you
hold it at this light, that like the flaking and
it's called a rackling effect. This doesn't exist in this model,
(24:02):
so this is actually a fake. And I'd be like, wow,
thank you so much for information I never would use
in any other way, shape or form, but it's useful,
and there are people out there that understand the difference
between certain things. But like you're you're always gonna be
a sneaker head, and it's about respecting what you already
own and why you bought it. And I use my
(24:25):
sneakers so much that I've justified the purchase of them.
And I love the feeling and almost the dystopian look
of Yeasys like Oxford Tans. I feel like I'm in
the four novel Like I mean, like like you, I
mean a dystopian world. I mean it's not far from
the truth, but like it's that it feels like that
of course, and um, you know, all of Easy Season,
(24:46):
like I think like one through four was very dystopian,
felt like futuristic slaves it's cool. I liked it. Yeah,
very like Kanye always kind of like pushes the envelope
and like what's next. Ye, Like we're all like slaves
to robots in this future and we wear this like
really cool just be I mean fashion so sick. I
(25:07):
love it absolutely. Let let me tell you actually a
funny story. How do you watched pot Stars? Absolutely? So,
it was like one of my it's it is still
one of my favorite shows. And I went through this
phase where I was really really obsessed with and it
was crazy the way I got into it. And I
know you travel a lot too, Like when I'm on
the plane and there's the same rotation of six movies
(25:29):
that are all either with Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart
or like a strange Marvel movie. You get to the
point where, like, you know what, I'm just gonna go
to the TV show section. So I watched one episode
of pint Stars and I was hooked. Literally watched almost
every season. Love it and it's so incredible to me
to see like Rick and Chumley, like Rick mor So
(25:52):
actually regulates dude, he's a sneaker, like he knows his
depth of knowledge. It's incredible, man, like, I'll tell you this.
So Chumley, he's actually a friend of mine. I actually
got into contact with Chumley through my manager and he's like, yeah, yeah,
Chumbley is the homie. Like, why don't you go film
at the store, And I was like yeah, So I
(26:12):
went and I filmed the video there and they showed
me like the behind the scenes, like how the show
is filmed, and like it's it's pretty insane. And basically
they told me that behind the scenes they're kind of brief.
They're like, hey, by the way, this product is going
to come in today, and then they kind of brush
up on their knowledge. So especially like Chumley told me,
he's like, yeah, you know, I have to go and
(26:34):
I have to research, but he said that Rick doesn't
even have to like open a book, he doesn't even
have to go on the internet now. He just knows
everything about everything like a savant. Yeah, it's it's just incredible.
And there's always a guy who comes on the show,
the Beard of Knowledge, who was very similar and he
just knows everything too, and and to me, it just
blew my mind. Like I was actually like really impressed.
(26:55):
We were looking at watches and he showed me some
fake roll exes that had come in the store. But
do they pulled some crazy stunts. So somebody had taken
a just a stainless steel sumarner and had bought a
aftermarket blue face and a blue bezel and slapped it
on and then tried to sell it at the paunch
(27:16):
up and like the person who bought it didn't know,
and they sold it as the white gold su Mariner.
I know exactly what you watched, um, but like to
the people listening, it's a difference of a seven thousand
dollar watch watch Leonardo DiCaprio has that watched yea, And
I mean that that watch is really hard to get
too possible the A D s. I mean you you
(27:38):
have to know an A D very well and have
a huge purchase history. And dude, he was showing he
was showing these watches to me. And I have a hulk,
so I have like a sub like I know what
it's supposed to look and feel like. And this hulk
is a stainless and it's a lot lighter versus like
my day date is. Like, dude, Like I feel like
I'm having a wrist workout every time I wear this
(27:59):
so like the decind I held in my hand, I
was like, this is not right, you know, because because
gold is so much heavier than the stainless steel down.
But it was crazy to me that people actually pull that.
Like imagine that they go they buy like a used
five thousand dollar sub mariner, like it was pretty used, dude,
and then replace some of the parts and then they're like, yeah,
this is the white gold and the somebody who doesn't
(28:21):
know god man, he told me they took like and
then they can't sell it because nobody wants to buy it, right,
because it's essentially a bastard of like all the gear swaps.
It's so sad. Yeah, the watch industry is is I
think a bit more toxic in that regard, because if
you mess up, you mess up nuclear in the watch world.
(28:42):
I'm friends with like Eric Coup, and I run everything
by Eric because Eric's seen every watch a million times.
He can tell immediately if a dial has been messed with,
or if it's like been reassigned, or if there's been
like some kind of weird service thing done. And like
I've gotten really good at where I can spot like,
so I had a friend come like a very real
story of being Like my wife and I were just
(29:03):
got back from the Bahamas and while I was there,
I got this really great deal on a sub like
check it out and like just the glint, like the
turn of the wrist. I was like, that's fake, like
the second I saw because I've seen so many submariners
and uh, I felt so bad and I I didn't.
I was like, how do I break this to him?
Because he was so excited. He's like I bought my
(29:25):
first watch and like I was on my honeymoon and
I'm so excited and I'm so happy, and I was
just like, how do I how do I do this?
How do I do this? How do it is? And
I was like, we'll have to make sure before I
have to make sure a hudd percent sure. And the
second he like took it off and studge me, like
the class everything about it was like, oh my god,
how do you not know? But most people do not know?
And that exists within fashion even more so because that
you have things like Amazon, Like I bought a Supreme
(29:47):
toothbrush that doesn't exist on Amazon, like, but I bought
it on Amazon because I was like, well, I might
as well get like a cool toothbrush for when I
go camping for thirteen dollars time as we get a
Supreme one. And what's what's crazy about is when people
don't know, Like when I was at a campsite, I'm
brushing my teeth with a Supreme toothbrush and there's like
a fifteen year old Kidney's like, oh, that's so cool.
(30:08):
Where did you get that? I want to get a
Supreme toothbrush? And then I'm like, oh no, I'm adding
to the toxicness of of like fake stuff. What I'm
saying is like I'm not immune to it either. When
it happens to mom pop shops, it's really sad. There's
Beverly Hills watch seller that I was like very much
over the years, would stop by every time. When I
was in grammar school. I remember going by and seeing
(30:28):
all of his cool watches because super passionate. And when
I got older, and you know, years into my career,
I was like, oh, I want to get a Fat Lady,
which sixteen seven sixty Fat Lady, which is a coke bezel.
This one had a just a full set paper boxing papers. Unfortunately,
though for this for this particular seller, the actual role
(30:49):
X Service center is within walking distance of his place,
so I put down you know, at the time, I
think it was like six thousand dollars. But I walked
over to the role X service center and I went, hey,
and you guys don't usually do this, but I need
to fact fact check this entire watch. And they were like, yeah,
they're problem. The moment he picked it up, he was
just like okay, and he like walks into the back
(31:10):
and within like they took the case back off and everything,
and they wrote out an entire detailed list of how
bastardized and ruined this watch was. The movement was was
totally wrong. It was still a GMT movement, but was
from another watch. The bracelet was from another watch. The
case was a swapped case to a sixteen seven six case,
(31:32):
but the dial was from a regular sixteen seven fifty.
The date movement was from the sixteen seven ten, so
it didn't have the quick set time change. So the
watch was was actually useless, total Frankenstein. But what really
was heartbreaking was going back to this guy who was
definitely in a very geriatric person at this point, and
(31:56):
I felt like I couldn't how to, like I had
to get my money back because I'm not going to
buy this thing, but to give him like when I said, hey, look,
I can't buy this because it's it's like essentially completely
bastardized and useless, and he's like what and the like
effectively serve him the entire list of things that he
(32:17):
missed buying watch was like fuck you know that? Yeah,
I A part of me was like, maybe I just
shouldn't like do this, but I couldn't then, knowing what
it was, I would I would have just felt terrible
about it and it was unsellable and just sliding that
paper over to him like and having him read that
like the heartbreak, it's just as fucked. So like that's why.
(32:41):
That's why on the other side of the street, I
hate counterfeiters. I hate people that are real scammers that
are out with malintent or those people. Those people need
to be like full blown back handed into oblivion. Yeah,
absolutely no, man, Like there's so many different layers to it.
It's like I just feel like the most people who
buy it, I think this statistic was like six or
(33:02):
something of people who buy by the stuff are knowingly
buying it fake damn it. Sad. I can't remember what
the exact statistic, but it was over for sure. I
think it was sixty sixties something like that. In my opinion,
I think it's it's way high because I think that
a lot of people are it's like a taboo to
(33:22):
have something fake. So for them, it's like I don't
want to admit you know what I'm saying. Ye, Succi
is Gucci is so counterfeit. Louis v'sn is so counterfeit.
You go down to downtown l A and there's like
vendors like with the blanket out with all the LV
stuff and it's so clearly fake. And they talked to
some of these vendors. They sell like hundreds and hundreds
(33:44):
of dollars like an hour to people just because they're
they're selling the dream. They're selling this like, well, I'm
gonna have the monogram like final, people will respect me.
There's some air of like elitism and having those brands,
and people don't understand that if you buy something fake,
it's it's worse than not buying it at all. Yeah. No,
I agree, it's the worst thing. A common theme that
(34:07):
I always tell like my my my fans and my
supporters is that there's so much more satisfaction of buying
the real thing once you get to the point where
you can't afford it, Do you realize too, this is
this is a fucking something to talk about. Rolex Paddock, Automark,
p A. All of these brands realized that they were
(34:28):
getting the market flooding with people that did not appreciate
the brand, that we're just buying it to like like
show off instead of having that like passion covered covered
in stones, covered in stones, do you like taking it
put in like like blasting it with black paint, making
it like the new air La, which is fine, but
(34:51):
the brand was like, we're so sick of the accessibility
to our brand that they're like, we usually sell, we
usually give out like to our eighties over the country.
Here's two enjoy but by and people are like they
choked the market so much that like this this watch
right now is like impossible to get. I couldn't believe it.
(35:13):
Back in two thousand and thirteen when I bought this,
the brand was pretty much like giving like they're like, please,
we'll give you a discount, like we'll do anything, just
by it, please, And I'm like, I don't know maybe
maybe I love it. I love the way it loves.
I can't really justify that much money for real. And
now I'm like, like I go anywhere because it's like,
for real, it's the it's the supply has been cut.
(35:36):
And I feel like if brands understood that a bit more,
and Adidas understood that immediately. I mean Nike not so much,
but Adidas very much understood that. In in two thousand
and fifteen, sixteen seventeen, they choke that marketplace so hard
that people were going to third party sellers. That's why
(35:57):
companies like stock x, Goat exist and are really doing
well is because there's nowhere to buy things that are authenticated.
And Marquis supplies amazing example of that. Marquis supplies Quentin Is.
Shout out to Quentin Quentin, I love you, dude, You're
you're doing God's work. Um, the fact that Quentin went
to Great Links not only to prioritize selling authentic goods.
(36:20):
I'm not trying to plug him. I'm being I'm being
totally honest about something that really really brought out a
passion in me of here's a guy that like owns
a company that's selling third party stuff right, similar to
stock A, some of the Goat, some of all these
you know, sneaker things selling third party to people, but
having the resilient behavior of selling authentic and knowing it
(36:44):
to a point where there's no dispute. Paying for the
technologies and engineering to understand what's the difference on a
molecular difference of monogram patterning, and like that is like
so important, so that there's an actual scientific proof that
you have a counterfeit part that you cannot sell versus
(37:06):
something that's authentic. And he's doing that work. Like that's
why these companies when some people are like why would
ever pay a premium to like stock X or Goat
or Marquee Supply or any of these third parties, Because
they're doing that work. They're like going on a level
that no one else is like going to do to
sell these products and essentially save you heartbreak hundreds and
(37:29):
hundreds of dollars, sometimes thousands of dollars. Man, some people,
some people get so owned. And it happens with diamonds
even more now than ever. Diamonds are the new thing
I think that are really gonna are so easy to
duplicate now and unless you have these like new upgraded tools,
like Ben ben Baller like posted something about like these
diamonds that are you can test and they come out
(37:51):
with bad diamond testers. You cannot tell. But the technology
is getting better, even for counterfeit stuff. And I'm sure
that there's been some things that are Has there anything
that's been passed in for me that you were like,
oh shit, that was counterfeit and you almost missed it
or you did it. Yeah, I mean, dude, I'm I'm
I'm I'm not a computer, you know, like I'm a
human and like I've I've made a con few mistakes.
(38:14):
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I haven't. Um.
I did have to get off my high horse at
one point because I was like, yeah, I've never gone wrong,
but hey man, you know, I'm a human. I've made
a couple of mistakes here and there, and and I'll
admit it. And it's cool and like, dude, and everybody
expecting me to be this like machine like you know,
and dude, the fakes are getting so good these days.
(38:36):
It's like sneakers and I mean watches too, Like I
have some friends in the watch a world who tell
me unless you open it, and even then you can't
tell your parts. It's all it's insane, man. So that's
why it's like it's so heartbreaking too, because, like I
mean in the sneaker world too now, like a lot
of the shoes that are really expensive, I'm talking like
the shoes, Like there's people getting scammed every single day.
(39:02):
Because that's the thing. Like you know how you said,
if you have the money, you can get it eight
percent of the time. That's true, but like there's certain
like grails that are just impossible to get that and
people we'll have money and they'll find someone and they'll
give them thirty dollars and they get it and they
(39:23):
don't even know it's fake until they wore it ten times,
you know. So just recently there's this dunk alright, it's
like right now, it's like a thirty shoe all day.
If you have a pair of paris Is, that's a
down payment on a small home or a big home
in North Dakota. So like there's people like my friend Andre,
(39:45):
do you need to come by Project Blitz by the way,
you haven't been right, do you need to? Man? It's crazy,
Like we have shoes in there there are six figures.
It's insane, Like you'll you'll come onto six bring bring Chris, dude,
so he can see like whoever's into shoes, Like like
it's friends and family only. So but like we have
like Travis and Drake and like like you name a thing,
(40:08):
you gotta come check it out. But anyway, like we
just we just sold a pair of shoes for fifty
grand for one pair of shoes, and like the people
came to us because they knew that it's going to
be real because it comes from us. You're doing the work.
And like, dude, there's people who like it blows my
mind because like a lot of these shoes are old,
(40:28):
Like I'm talking two thousand to two thousand three, so
there should be some age to it, right, So all
the new fakes that are coming out are brand new,
and there's no way they can simulate twenty years of
sitting in a box. So man, it's heartbreaking. It's kind
of like watches, you know, watches, Like, dude, if you
buy a fake watch, that's you know, five maybe even
six figures, God forbid. And I mean with shoes, it
(40:51):
can get to that point, which is crazy. What's the
most expensive shoe right now, like of all of all
of the shoes, it's it's hard to be like. I'll
give you an example. So in in the warehouse, we
have a shoe. It's the original space cham that Michael
Jordan wore in the movie. We've gone offers for quarter
(41:11):
million and denied it all. See, but those are that's interesting.
The shoe has a lineage to it. Of course, it's
not just the brand has like you're holding a piece
of essentially like sneaker history with that. It's not only
sneaker history, it's sports memorabilia. Obviously. Michael jordans like the
greatest basketball player of all time and the only movie
(41:32):
he's ever started. There's only two shoes that he wore
on the set. So it's just like that's that's what
made me fall in love with sneakers, like the stories
behind each thing. But to answer your question, I really
don't know because there's so many. And like the shoe
we just sold it was also a s B because
as bees are like the biggest thing right now, I
feel like they've been like that. I don't know if
(41:53):
you ever got into like loaded longboards or have you
ever watched there's a video called the Whirling Dervish or
like We're Adams Squared. If you if you're listening and
you know what I'm talking about, if you know, you
know right now? Okay, it changed so many people's lives
that video. And even if you go through the common
section on their on the YouTube video that's still up
right now with Adam Colton and uh, the comment section
(42:16):
is like my nostalgia just hit um. But they're the
dudes wearing sp dunks orange sp dunks that are just incredible.
And I remember seeing those back then in two thousand
seven and being like what is that? I need those
and they're they were impossible to find back then. Yeah,
well well this is the thing now because of the
whole hype thing. Like, bro, give you an example, Like
(42:39):
there's a pair of Stuci sps there. They look like
a Neopolitan ice cream. They're like white on the bottom
and they're pink and brown and they have a little
cherry on the tongue, which is sick and like, now
that's a easily shoe two years ago. Dollars all day, no,
(43:00):
all day, maybe two hundred dollars to fifty if it's
a size nine you know, so like it's crazy that
you know, like, for example, Travis Scott, like he I
know I say this a lot, but like he's the
reason in my opinion that that as Be's like really
came back because he started rocking him. I won't get
too much into it, but like he really is into
(43:20):
like old ship that nobody can get because, like I mean,
at the end of the day, as a sneaker head,
like you really want to get something that nobody else
can get. Right, Like I was telling you earlier, like
when I go to sneaker con or any sneaker events,
I can't wear Travis Scott Jordan's once I've done it.
But then like the last two times, like I literally
was like, because it's like the hype shoes, I was like, Okay, cool,
I'll wear And then I see everyone else and their
(43:41):
mothers literally wearing those shoes. So so it's it's kind
of hard to stand out, you know what I mean. Yeah, totally.
I got my mom a pariry Easy's Actually that's awesome.
Justin Bieber actually commented on it. We were at a
we were like we were out and and weho and
my mom and I were together and and He was
just like, you guys are both wearing the same shoe.
And I was like, wow, justin Bieber, what's up man,
That's like the most like Hollywood thing that ever happened.
(44:03):
But yeah, I bought my mom. Actually I bought her.
I bought her Oxford Tan like this version because She's
like they look like moccasin's and I'm like, yeah, there
you go, because she lives in the in the forest.
But it's I I agree with all of what you're saying.
I bought one pair of fake shoes because I really wanted.
This was a while ago. This was like back in
(44:23):
two thou I think eleven or twelve. I bought the
fake um Nike mag's the lit up their fake, the
total fakes. Anybody that sees them there, they're They're the
most disgusting fakes. But there was something in me where
I wanted a skateboard in them. And when Kid Cutty
came out on like live television wearing those mags, you
(44:46):
know exactly what I'm talking about. I was like, I'm
never gonna be able to buy the real ones. I
don't care how successful I am in my life, I
will never find that kind of comfort in buying these,
I bought them for like a hundred bucks, but I
did it just because I wanted to feel that dream
of like, yeah, I'm back to the future on my hoverboard.
So I understand that element, um, and I understand also
(45:08):
like that's fucking tough, like the getting into expensive sneakers.
I still can't even me buying fake shoes. I'm still
gonna I'm still going to tell people like, don't do
it because to kind of like wrap up that whole thing.
It's like, it's like I said, I don't care if
someone's wearing anything fake. I don't and people think that
I'm like I hate fake ship and like have I
(45:30):
had fake stuff in the past, of course, And it's
always funny because I always have this discussion with my
guy friends. The only people who noticed it was dudes.
And you know, it's the same with watches, watches, sneakers,
supreme anything. So are we secretly like trying to get
mail at well? But but hold on, hold on, hold on.
(45:50):
All guys are just trying to get like other guys
to be like cool watch bro, cool shoes bro. If
you think about it, because like we make fun of
um women for being caddie, right, they're like, oh, she's
not dressed well or like whatever. But like Loki, subconsciously,
we kind of do the same thing. It's high key
as dude, like, oh, dude, look at that guy's watch,
that guy's that ship's trash or those shoes. Wow, where'd
(46:12):
you get those? Ross? Like you know, but if you
think about it, like when you see like the watch
I'm wearing, you'd be like, dude, that's beautiful the same back,
you know what I mean. And because we have like
a mutual respect and like a love for something. Women,
on the other hand, it's like, oh that bitch got
a burke in on. It's like you know what, they're like,
oh that you know, I know that sounded very uh,
(46:35):
it's very very stereotypical, but you know, yeah, it's like
women they notice each other's purses, or they notice what
heels they're wearing. They notice even like their friends who
they're with and stuff like that. It's but it's the
same thing with dudes, except you know, we do sneakers, watches, cars,
you know, definitely cars. It's interesting though, because like with me,
if I see a woman holding a birkin, I'd be
(46:56):
like oh damn, Like who's that? You know. It's there's
certain pieces that no matter what, are going to draw
attention from both sides, like both sexes. But at the
end of the day, it's still like it's so funny
because like, yeah, we just dress for because my girlfriend
always says this, Dude, She's always like, women don't dress
for guys, they don't dress for themselves. They dress for
(47:17):
other girls, other women. I don't know about that. Yeah, no,
it's true. It's true for other Like just how I
I definitely agree though fashion divides us at the same
time as it unifies us totally completely, all of us.
It's like a big, huge circle. As much as you
find division in it, it's like total connectivity. Um, yeah,
(47:39):
it's it's true, like I was. I mean, it's a
lie that we tell ourselves, like I'm just getting this
from me. But like a part of it is like
you know, you wouldn't buy it if if you were
buy yourself alone in like in like a farmland, like
you would never Like there's it's the real life, Like
it doesn't. It talks about your personality outward, Um, how
you want to display yourself of And that's why a
(48:01):
lot of people have like really clean, nice shoes. Like
you immediately, like the moment you meet someone, you look
at their shoes and their belt. That's the first thing
you do. So gentleman always matches his shoes to his belt.
You look at his fashion. If you're wearing black shoes
and a brown belt, you're done. You'll be like, that
sounds a little off with this person. They're all right,
they okay, having a good day. But for real, it's
(48:22):
it is a subtle judgment that we all have. Everyone's
fashion kind of changes though, Like if you know, you
know thing is really interesting. Like I have people that
will come be line it to me about a watch
that I'm wearing, and like no one knows what this is,
and the moment that they do, they pull me into
their passion with it because I'm that's kind of like
(48:43):
sometimes why I will wear something is I want to
like share that passion with people. Man, Like when I
was going through the airport, I was wearing a pair
of dunks called the Biotex and I actually got those
as a Christmas present, but I was wearing it through
the airport and you know, they're they're expensive shoes, and
like when the secure at t S. A is like,
oh wow, I've I've never seen those in person, and
(49:04):
he completely like his He's just which is a funny
um um sound effect to make when I'm talking about
t S, but so so um like he was just
like I've never seen those in person, and he's like
like can I look at him? And I was like yeah,
I dude, of course, and he just got like real close.
He's like, dude, like I never thought i'd see those
in person, Like I've always wanted these shoes. And I
(49:27):
was like, oh, well, you know, like thanks man, I
appreciate it. Like, are you sneaker head? He's like yeah,
I have a huge sneaker head. Like dude, this like
you just made my day. And I was like wow,
like the fact that me wearing a pair of shoes
made someone else happy, I was like, dude, that's amazing,
you know. And I feel like that's kind of part
of what my Instagram and YouTube and like when I
show off, I'm not really showing off, like when people
(49:48):
see like what I'm wearing, like they're like, oh, like
I really want those shoes, and I'm not saying like
I'm influencing people to buy stuff, but like I feel
like when people see me buying something that it just
maybe makes them a little bit more motivated to get it,
which makes me happy. Yeah, it's inspiring. I mean I
follow you for that reason. I you you do where
the things that I wish sometimes I could see myself wearing.
(50:10):
But I really am into two classic looks. But yeah,
it's all about inspiring those around you. And if you know,
you know, and it's exciting. It's exciting to see that
stuff in the wild really being worn, the real stuff.
It's like seeing a rare creature. It's like seeing a Pokemon, dude.
And that's why I loved those shoes, the moon Rocks,
the v Ones, because whenever I see someone wearing a
(50:30):
pair of v Ones, it brings back like a nostalgic
feeling of like, oh my god, holy sh it, I
can't believe I'm seeing this in person. How it all
kind of started for a lot of people, I mean
a lot of people were not sneaker heads, not at all,
And then I was started. I'm not even gonna pretend
like like I mean, from what I was talking at
the beginning, like I was just a die hard Kanye fan,
so I wanted to Kanye issues and it sparked this
thing inside me that I'm now I'm just like obsessed.
(50:54):
How much money have you honestly spent on gear? And
tell me the truth. I'll this my sneaker collection is worth.
This is what I This is the kind of stuff
people listening for this. But that's like so in, that's in,
that's amazing. And then that's something that's passion, Like I
(51:16):
understand that, and you don't think I'm sick in the
head even though that I am, so I appreciate it.
It's a passion. It's liquid to people that are in
the know, and that's all that matters is if it's
something that you have built, like your empire of your collection,
and you go home and you're like, damn, I remember this,
by oh I remember this, Like the money doesn't matter.
(51:37):
Currency is something that we used to like show love
and and to ourselves and others, like the currencies like
whatever at the end of the day. But fuck, hearing
that you have that kind of collection is so jaw
droppingly important to me because yeah, like you walk the
walk and you talk the top real it's a real
(51:57):
I really feel like you know, the original shoes of
certain designers and brands, they will be timeless because they started.
Like I really feel like the Turtle Doves started an
era and it is like one of the most pivotal shoes.
Like if you're asking me, like what was the most
pivotal shoe of like the two thousand's, I feel like
the Turtle Dove is up there as like one of
(52:17):
the most craziest things I've ever seen. I would say
sneaker of the decade talk like I was actually talking
to my friend Dre about it and he said that
to him, the sneaker of the decade was the Turtle Dove,
and I have to agree and ten percent because of
what it did to the culture. It changed everything, like
(52:38):
it made sneaker culture mainstream. Everybody was a sneaker head
after that. Everybody wanted to pair easy. The didn't even
give a shit about Jordan's or anything like, so yeah, totally, man,
Like the original is always the one, Like even the
Jordans once like Jordan j the ones, it didn't say
they're the ones, yeah exactly, and um like even classic
like even vans, like the classic Vans of design or
(53:01):
the one Star Converse like they're always going to be
timeless no matter what, because that's like the one what
I mean. So yeah, man, it's like it's crazy. Like, dude,
we could sit here talk about fashion and steaks and
washes and everything so sick. I really I'm like super
grateful for being involved in it, and I hope that
people that are listening understand that I know nothing about it,
(53:23):
but I like to assume that what I've learned has
helped me make informed decisions in my future about fashion. Man,
there's so much hate out there. I'm never telling anybody
to bully anybody. I'm never telling anybody to do anything
like that. But I'm really happy that you're regulating in
under responsible way. And at the same time, you really
a passionate guy about it. Do you really care about
(53:43):
the brands and you care about the culture? Man, I
really like genuinely appreciate that. Are you ever going to
do a face reveal? Dude? Um, I'm thinking I might.
I might. I might do it this year. No, don't
do it. I don't ever do it. It's crazy because
don't ever do it. Man. I have so many people
telling me that I should, Like, you know, do you
know what I'm brand opportunities. They're lying to you. They
(54:04):
just know. Trust me, man, you're you're very handsome guy.
Not saying don't do it because you're like people are
gonna be like, oh my god, you're a very handsome guy.
You kind of look like a very famous actor. Actually,
I think I've told you this before, but I'm not
gonna say because then everybody will be like, oh now
I know what he looks like. What you're doing, it's
like batman, dude, you are a batman in the shoe industry.
The reason why I'm saying I wouldn't is because, like
(54:25):
to protect yourself, you are then a target visually, like
people know, people can find out who you are no
matter what, like for sure, but putting yourself out there
publicly like you're batman, like, don't don't do that because
because you were, because you are like this masked crusader
of a generation in which never existed before and never
(54:47):
no one's ever done what you did and no one
could ever do it as good as you. For real,
as much as there's like people that understand this industry,
they understand the business side, they understand the like the
actual like you know, the way the things look in
their supposed to look the counterfeit side. They never could
do it the way you did it. And you have
a commodity that nobody else has, which is you're thank you,
(55:09):
thank you. Hopefully you do and if you do a
face reveal, I'm excited to well dude, well man, I'm
so torn. I don't know, Like, sometimes I really want
to Sometimes I'm like, funk this mask. Sometimes I was like,
fun this mask. I just want to go out. I
don't want to wear this ship for seven hours, you know.
But sometimes I'm like, you know, I can go to
(55:30):
the movie theater or the mall and no one's gonna
recognize me and I'm not going to have Soldier Boy
and all his goons run up. That's the other thing
is do you know how many people you you probably
like I'm always I'm more scared about like out of
the country, like people coming and like coming and beating
you up or something, just because they don't understand that
like you're you're coming from place of like very pure intentions.
(55:55):
And some people, when they're caught with it on their face,
they just take it, take it total personally. And I'm
just worried about yourselafe, dude. You know what's funny? You
know Offset, So he frequently comes and chops with us.
So when I wasn't there one time, I guess they
started talking about me and um um. One of the
employees was like, yeah, I don't know if he's ever
(56:16):
going to show his face, and then Offset it's like nope.
He's like, I know dudes who who don't like that guy?
He's like, he should not show his face. He's not.
But it was funny because like the way he said it,
he was like, yeah, I know dudes who who don't
funk with him? Yeah, dude. And when I heard that,
I was like, wow, that is scary. And then he's
he's like I funk with him though, And I was like,
(56:36):
all right, cool, I'm not scared. I don't. I really
don't think people are gonna kill me over. It's not
gonna be fearful, but you might you might have a
little more issues in your personal world. Yeah, totally. He'll
sleep better with the mask on, Yeah, totally. Yeah, because
everybody knows that I always I'm wearing the mask, I
eat with the mask on, I sleep with the mask on,
a shower with the you know I know about it.
(56:57):
I've seen, but dude, thank you so much for coming on. Man.
So yeah, I mean and normally towards the end of
the show, I always you know, give my guests like
an opportunity. It's just you know, either plug something or
just say what's on your mind? Is a year really
that that I think a lot of people are going
to be feeling a lot better about themselves and you know,
getting out of old patterns, moving forward, removing ego as
(57:18):
much as we are in a peacocking fashion oriented world,
to come at it with compassion, understand that some people
maybe that do have counterfeit things, it's because they they
themselves cannot afford to have nice things. And uh, just
to have compassion and moving forward, and also to understand
that you know, it's all in fun, like we're do
(57:39):
what we do and what we buy and show off
and have fun with it's just for fun, like at
the end of the day. To take it, to take
it to that level of seriousness, which I know that
both of us have taken it to many times. Um
ultimately comes from a place of love and fun. Yeah,
and thank you again for again being a concierge into
this World of Sneakers and and find Goods and well
(58:02):
I'm gonna start hitting you up more about the Watch World.
Oh yeah, man, you should because you were actually the
reason why you didn't get a bus down. Remember I
hit you and I was like should I get this?
And you will be crucified watch dude. I'm so glad
you didn't. So anyway, that's that's pretty much it, guys.
