Howard "H" White's sneaker journey began with a pair of classic Chuck Taylor Converse and carried all the way to the naming his own signature pair of Air Jordan 2s. The godfather of the Jordan brand takes us through his life in sneakers and shares the joys of working with Michael Jordan since he was a young, burgeoning star.

If this is who Chirs Tucker played in the “Air” movie he nailed it.
great story teller, amazing charisma! You gotta love Mr Howard White much respect to him.
💯
"Yeah we sell shoes, but it's not all about the shoes, its always been about something greater" 💯
The 2’s were clearly before their time back then and the highlights done in those is unmatched!
Tucker played him well. Great personality
Thanks for choosing the 2's! The first luxury gymshoe❤
The soda bottle story is heavy. This dude is a vibe.
GQ keep doing your thing with the vlogs keep them coming for real 💯💯💯👍👍👍
Mr.White is a treasure!
I think you and the family all the time. You bring happiness to so many people. Now you have the coolest shoe in my book. People that know you know you have a biggest heart. Thank you H !!!
When I had the 11’s in 95-96, I was getting roasted soooo bad! People were saying they were tuxedo shoes🤦🏾♂️😂
They ain't saying that now though, lol.
They wasn’t an instant hit , people was calling it penguins,
Nobody was roasting you wearing J’s in 90s, unless they couldn’t afford them and was hating!
Love this, but it should have been way longer.
Honor a great recovery relationship 2yrs , strong. Thanks to artist care ❤❤❤❤
This is super dope!! Everybody buy them 2s up before it’s too late
Great stories thx alot
Gotta Give him his Props..👍🏿👍🏿
John Lucus Hooked Him Up..
FOR REAL. 😂
Love him
Amazing!
I need these immediately!!!
His shoes is just iconic
Fantastic 👍
Chris Trucker played you very well in the movie🎭 Theater but Jordans 2’s even with his autograph never translated with the Urban community .Now that they are out of the price range of demographic community they are not likely to be 🔥 thank so much
Congratulations "H" still an amazing inspiration
Nah,this is Scottie Pippen. 2023 Aint playing me😂😂😂
Boy said he tore both knees up. I bet he did in some jean material Converse.
Those 2s are hard
Copped those Wings
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Maryland represent
He is an awesome sneaker head and the Godfather of the Jordan Brand!!!!!
Heavy
pure drip
I gotta be the only one that like Jordan 2s
this guy got the greatest voice of all time
The shoes themselves are dope
Al Roker?
put your glasses on ricky martin
“It ain’t got nuttiness ta dew wit basketball”😂😂😂😂
Hampton, Virginia’s Finest!
I ❤this guy ! MJAIR23 🐐
Gentry Humphrey...
Now I understand why Chris was chosen for his role in Air.
Is this the guy that Chris Tucker played ?
yeah.
He was the only Black in Nike Company.
Nike's trying reaaaallllll hard to sell everyone those Jordan 2's :D
I personally love the 2’s. Definitely 1’s are my first choice but the 2’s have their own characteristics.
Bro, they not trying to sell you on nothing, either you fux with the 2s or you dont. Are maybe you a sheep and only wear what others dudes like. smh lol
They hard to me especially the lows and og's
not trying? 'only today 30% discount on all Jordan 2's'
kiddo Jordan is doing this all the time. Relese few collabs with the 'model of the season' and then start flooding the market with less limited shoes 'for people who missed out'. The only trouble is that people even didn't go for the limited shoes and they were sitting on shelves. That's when the buyers in retail stores realized they are in trouble. They cost 200£ (!!) and if you look out the window it's 2023. Shake your head a bit more and come back to senses LOL
@@JH-cx2ms me too, 2's and 3's are my favorites
@@kingart23 you talk so much like you know but news flash, that’s every shoe company. Make a hit collab shoe and then sell the basic model in more colors..
I gotta say Chris Tucker sounded nothing like this guy in the movie AIR. Tucker pretty much played himself 😂
Chris Tucker played H to a T
Ok
Mr. White your gonna have to send me a pair for research purposes. Size 13 you can afford it.
Ima just keep it a Band this mf looks like Al of the Today show.
Al roker
*💯"Perfection" @t it's BEST*
The 2s are underrated. Nike pushing them rn, Maybe drake will wear it and become the "it" shoe soon.
Scottie p father
*Tinker Hatfield The Godfather of Jordan Brand. Know Your History
Will in something more years.😂
Then lower the price on them js
but what does he do?
That’s the shoe jordan hated..
🫡
great story teller, but the story is actually boring than the hype
It's just a damm sneaker y'all.
H. White is definitely a visionary and has an important role in sneaker history. But Tinker Hatfield is the true godfather of sneakers and the all-time greatest sneaker designer in history! Without Tinker Hatfield, Jordan brand would have closed shop after 4-5 years and Nike would have never became the biggest shoe company in the world! Facts 💯
The Jordan 2 is one of the ugliest sneakers in history, it was a flop when it came out, it’s still a flop, and it almost was the end of the Jordan brand!
