    Shaq I just want to say thanks. My grandmother could only afford sneakers from Woolworths off the table growing up. I got teased all the time. I saw your shoe at Payless and convinced my grandmother to get them. It was the best shoe I could afford. Thanks

    The hard cut into gambling promotion at the end of the vid is truly grating. The same kids that y'all are talking about that needed the affordable price point shoes are the same people that are most likely to be harmed by the scantily regulated greed machine that is online betting. I love the Dray show, can't fault you guys for partnering with sponsors to make it all happen. I just wish you were promoting an industry with a more societally constructive objective.

      Don't get me wrong. I understand where you are coming from. Cuz I'm in a group chat full of gamblers. Some of them are under age. But just like how it comes down to television restrictions, it comes down to their parents doing something as well.

    The reality is the quality of sneakers from major brands are complete crap. The leather they use is so low quality, they put a plastic coating on it as otherwise it would crack super fast. They make them for less than $100 and charge you $300.
    I can get a pair of full grain leather sneakers with a full leather liner for $200. AND it can be re-soled if needed to last over a decade.

      There a good channel called Rose Anvil that does breakdowns on shoes. Nike's are overpriced garbage compared to what you can get.

      I wear Nike and Jordans but I will still admit I’m overpaying for what I get. I’m a 80s baby, so I’m hooked on the shit at this point. lol

      As a guy who buys mid-high end leather boots, and sneakers, leather shoes are nice if you like the minimalist look. They lack the creativity for urban wear. Personally I rather spend $300 plus on boots than shoes, but sub $200 for sneakers makes sense.

    Shaq made 0 attempts at actually answering the questions Draymond asked 😂 I love Shaq and think that what he did with his shoe and companies but Draymond asked him how he did it. Shaq proceeds to tell him why he did what he did, talked about the logo and its origin , talked about his kids lol. Dude is always entertaining.

    However, now that’s he’s back with Reebok along with AI, we have bought Reebok stuff for the first time in like 15yrs.
    He needs to resurrect the OG Kamikaze 1s and 2s, The Question Red Toe Low, and the OG Shaqnosis!
