idkAusername1000 Dj khalid is a legendary producer of this generation alot of hits have came out of khalids hands hes one of the few producers that actually has alot of money. apart from dr dre khalid is rich a.f
I used to think Wale was MADLY overrated...then I heard "The Gifted", that shit is fucking FIRE!!!!! Huge fan now. Wale goes in on that album, hit after hit.
YoungN' Ha! I will be honest though, I still don't really care for his older stuff, but to me The Gifted is a classic, I can listen to it all the way through non stop...can't say that about a lot of artists these days, one of my favorite rap albums of the last 10 years.
Wale said EVERYTHING I think about what the sneaker culture has become! It's becoming more of a "showing off" thing then the actual culture itself (finding those sneakers you REALLY wanted, begging your parents for some $140 dollars "pair of shoes" (in their own language of course, which with $140 now you can't barely get some J's! Long story short, quoting Wale: "When you see a comedian that was rocking K-Swiss, now rocking Foams..." something's wrong!
simple fact. most sneaker heads grow into adults that still like sneakers. its just that Wale happens to be wealthy enough to keep adding to his collection
theinstigatorr Rappers can be hood, but that goes to shit once they have money. Most clothing/shoe brands that complex promotes exist exclusively to rip off rappers... or worse... to rip off their fans. It's a materialistic shit storm.
Tbh they need to do a updated version on sneaker shopping with everyone who was on the show from 5-7 years ago Bc from that time to now sneakers have exploded into so many more varieties, like the whole sneaker landscape has changed and expanded
he's like the perfect gentlemen. He's gonna make a great husband someday. You notice when he raps, his songs are from the heart, and are speaking generally to us ladies! love me some WALE!
In this day and age for a celebrity. It's better to be super huge and own it like that white rapper or rick ross, or be jacked or skinny. No dad bods in the rap game
So you can wear it with a karmaloop tee, stick with cheap jeans. Balmain is over 1200 usd, better washes like stonewashed or waxed are usually sold out and cost alot more.
Cuz shoes dont really matter fr everybody wanna spend Big money on shoes that not gonna be good for ur whole life cuz once you dead you not gonna keep em.
I kinda have a problem with what Wale said about the athletes vs. entertainers. Athletes sign with sneaker companies and make shoes FOR THEIR SPORT! They don't rock their kicks out to the clubs to show off to other dudes. That's their work shoe! Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and whatever other company are sporting goods companies. They're meant for sports. It just so happens some of their shoes look nice enough for casual wear. Jordans were actually worn as basketball purposes since Michael Jordan was a basketball player. Nike was created by a track coach for Oregon.
Isaiah Quidilla You are correct about athletes having a lot of influence on sneakers but you also must think about the artistic element in shoes, such as color ways or design. Art is synonymous with entertainment or music because after all these things are forms of art. So I would think since clothing can be classified as wearable art lmao, entertainers have a lot of influence
DAMNNNN Wale need to chill like I thought I couldnt stay still but he look like someones out to get him he's on a whole new level of energetic making me nervous
I love that WALE actually knows how to pronounce words unlike some of the other rappers these days, it's nice betting able to understand what they're saying for once.
+Nasty Nas shoe game in general is dead, everyone I know that cared about Jordan's and ANY basketball shoe in general, don't care about them anymore. We all just wear roshes and running shoes now like flyknits cuz they comfy. Shoe game is dead. Now it's all wear what you want
+Pedro Nava He's like that a hyper guy and just love shoes and he did work for Foot locker or something and into shoes. I mean he does says that and even says he don't do no drugs and he probably smoke time from time but he don't use it like other celebrities.
I hate how nike sends rich people free stuff ( not talking about the people they sponsor) what about the kids that can't afford stuff . Wale aint hurting
Because they're a business, what do they have to gain from sending shoes to kids? nothing, they actually lose money. So they send shoes to people who get publicity and they get free marketing.
rzrselliott maybe because they worked hard to get the free "shit" they didn't just become rich. And still, they are only send things because they can market things just by wearing them.
BreezyHorn Yes, the older generation of people did work hard to get to where they are at. I work in the oil field and I see these old timers who invested and put in the hours but few of them are left and who is left are the kids and grandkids who never worked a day in their lives to get the millions they are sitting on. Some people are just more fortunate than others which is cool I guess. I was just ranting because my girl works in a bank and the other day she was telling me a story about a single mom the other day who had some overdraft charges and couldn't even afford to get her balance back in the positives and was crying because she was going to have to close her account but on the other hand there were two partners who owned an oil and gas company who went bankrupt in their business and ended up overdrawing and when my girl was typing up the paperwork to be sent to them the banker told her to throw it away and that they wouldn't be charged any overdraft charges....so pretty much just because they were rich at one point they wouldn't be penalized but the other lady was.
would think when rappers are working on their album that htey would post up in a place where there isn't many distractions, but obviously Wale is a veteran and he knows how to get shit done when it[s crunch time, cuz he made a great album
Wale= No need to compete with anybody. Just likes sneakers. DJ Khaled= Brings 3 bags of sneakers where ever he goes so he can out stunt other dudes.
DJ Khaled is a clown
idkAusername1000 I STILL don't know what he does
idkAusername1000 they are music producers
idkAusername1000 Dj khalid is a legendary producer of this generation alot of hits have came out of khalids hands hes one of the few producers that actually has alot of money. apart from dr dre khalid is rich a.f
trying to be the best at something ins't bad at all
Wale should be doing collaborations for sneakers, dude is a real sneaker dude

Welcome aboard..

"Aint no rapper sellin more shoes then Kobe or KD"

MARX MILL kayne only really sells 10,000 pairs a drop, while lebron sells about 100 mill per shoe drop
Profxlarge That isnt the point

Kobe and Durant both have shoes on general sale where as Kanye doesn't, that's why
still the best ep. of complex shoe shopping
Wale rockin my 2s through out the whole video mad respect for that!
simple fact. most sneaker heads grow into adults that still like sneakers. its just that Wale happens to be wealthy enough to keep adding to his collection
seriously, complex needs to get a new presenter.
Casper Cameron his hand movements and forced swagger annoy me
You don't think he's hood?
theinstigatorr Rappers can be hood, but that goes to shit once they have money. Most clothing/shoe brands that complex promotes exist exclusively to rip off rappers... or worse... to rip off their fans. It's a materialistic shit storm.
+Eoghan Hennessy I was sarcastically mocking the presenter, what you're saying is fair as well
theinstigatorr I get it ;) I find most journalists are insufferable anyway
I rewatch this every year and it's crazy because he was right about literally everything dude is a Legend 🙏🏾💯
shout out to wale always rocking some chicago stuff nice
Tbh they need to do a updated version on sneaker shopping with everyone who was on the show from 5-7 years ago Bc from that time to now sneakers have exploded into so many more varieties, like the whole sneaker landscape has changed and expanded

Yikes. Wale getting a little puffy. No hate though; he's still getting his.
Puffy?
+suicidesilence4444 fat

In this day and age for a celebrity. It's better to be super huge and own it like that white rapper or rick ross, or be jacked or skinny. No dad bods in the rap game
+Cavalier LeBron Poor posture was well, he's been sitting too much.
I fuck with wale more as a person vs. the dudes music. He be on some real humble type shit. Respect.

So you can wear it with a karmaloop tee, stick with cheap jeans.
Balmain is over 1200 usd, better washes like stonewashed or waxed are usually sold out and cost alot more.
Wale was the first mainstream rapper to be known as a sneaker head he don't get enough credit
Dang, what did he buy for 2k?! JORDAN HIMSELF!?
They only did that for the camera.
I believe it.
I'm sure the he buy a lot of shoes but lebron store got no heat, best stuff there was fly knits and the clothes
HA!
Lol he bought like two pairs and they weren't even expensive ones
We need a updated visit ❤
Facts!!!!
Wow Didnt Wale have MAD BEEF with Complex? lmao

which is why he said that joke about calling out magazines
This is how they settled it
Whale is underrated as an artist

Kaleb Riles they stole the design from supreme
Wale savage asf looking in the clothes section whie sneaker shopping. 😂😂😂
Eric Pham 😂😂😂😂😂
I like this one because he actually spent some good money on cool shoes. Didn't just get one pair of some boring Jordan 1's for the sake of the shoot.
Wale has good taste, he knows what hes' doing
Dont like his music,but I respect him for not thinking that having shoes dosent make you a better person
DopeKickZ for thinking*
Cuz shoes dont really matter fr everybody wanna spend Big money on shoes that not gonna be good for ur whole life cuz once you dead you not gonna keep em.
His raps have been nasty
love those green nikes
3:46 Everyone lurking in the background lmao
Yo thats Kid Ink at 0:06!!
I kinda have a problem with what Wale said about the athletes vs. entertainers. Athletes sign with sneaker companies and make shoes FOR THEIR SPORT! They don't rock their kicks out to the clubs to show off to other dudes. That's their work shoe! Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and whatever other company are sporting goods companies. They're meant for sports. It just so happens some of their shoes look nice enough for casual wear. Jordans were actually worn as basketball purposes since Michael Jordan was a basketball player. Nike was created by a track coach for Oregon.
So what lol
Ever heard of casual shoes...? Haha they don't perform in bare feet
Lol if you believe that. The shoes were made to sell. They look casual cus they were promoted casual
Isaiah Quidilla You are correct about athletes having a lot of influence on sneakers but you also must think about the artistic element in shoes, such as color ways or design. Art is synonymous with entertainment or music because after all these things are forms of art. So I would think since clothing can be classified as wearable art lmao, entertainers have a lot of influence
that's like saying, you can't wear vans because you don't skateboard. you can whatever you want, however you want
DAMNNNN Wale need to chill like I thought I couldnt stay still but he look like someones out to get him he's on a whole new level of energetic making me nervous
I only watch these videos because Joe is so awkward. Gotta love him though
Facts lol Hypebeast be like

NIKE give Wale his own shoe. That would be so dope!!!!!!
Wale is probably the best rapper out there right now
We got the same shoe size, my nigga.
Wale is so chill.
He must've said "like" bout 100x
Forreal, Complex should do a series with the STAFF, it would be lit
Dude thought he was serious when he said he spent his album advance
weed allweek I need another Wale and Spitta collab
Mauricio S have you heard wordplay

I love that WALE actually knows how to pronounce words unlike some of the other rappers these days, it's nice betting able to understand what they're saying for once.
Roshes at 0:24, are they for women or men and what are they?!
They are air Max 90's not roches...
Jack Cornips Look again you'll see roshes after 0:24 around that time frame
+Nasty Nas shoe game in general is dead, everyone I know that cared about Jordan's and ANY basketball shoe in general, don't care about them anymore. We all just wear roshes and running shoes now like flyknits cuz they comfy. Shoe game is dead. Now it's all wear what you want

Did you ever find out what shoes those were? I want them! I wish all episodes showed receipts and the shoe at the end.
@@misham2563 no I never did, let me know if you find out...
This video is old, but he's right. The sneaker culture is corrupt and convoluted. It's all about some bs hype now.
In beginning came off as a hype east but all and all great video
I haven't been following sneakers much in the last 3 years but damn, fuck is up with all this fluorescent/neon shit?
Man, those of us that aren't flamboyant will never know.
Great video. #DC
Balmain jeans 1,000$ a pair
Wale is just like me. Not competitive with the sneaks but just loves the sneaks.
I hate how nike sends rich people free stuff ( not talking about the people they sponsor) what about the kids that can't afford stuff . Wale aint hurting
Because they're a business, what do they have to gain from sending shoes to kids? nothing, they actually lose money. So they send shoes to people who get publicity and they get free marketing.
BreezyHorn Rich people always get all kinds of free shit and benefits that other less fortunate people don't. Not just shoes.
rzrselliott maybe because they worked hard to get the free "shit" they didn't just become rich. And still, they are only send things because they can market things just by wearing them.
BreezyHorn Yes, the older generation of people did work hard to get to where they are at. I work in the oil field and I see these old timers who invested and put in the hours but few of them are left and who is left are the kids and grandkids who never worked a day in their lives to get the millions they are sitting on. Some people are just more fortunate than others which is cool I guess.

It's all for promotion reasons
I respect wale alot more after this
Sneaker Shopping with Drake
would think when rappers are working on their album that htey would post up in a place where there isn't many distractions, but obviously Wale is a veteran and he knows how to get shit done when it[s crunch time, cuz he made a great album
