The Record-Breaking $1.8 Million Yeezy Fail | The Complex Sneakers Show
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Remember the rare Nike Air Yeezy 1 Grammy sample worn by Kanye West that sold for $1.8 million dollars just two years ago? The shoe just sold again, this time losing 90 percent of its value and selling for a mere $180,000 at an auction at Goldin. The cohosts discuss the market of high-end sneakers, why pairs like this are suddenly selling for way less money, and who benefits from it all. Also, Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty talk about the latest signature shoes from LeBron James and Devin Booker, what’s coming from Jerry Lorenzo x Adidas, and how good J Balvin’s Air Jordan 3 collab is.

I would happily watch a full episode dedicated to 'Big JLP shoe'
MY BOYS HAPPY FRIDAY.
Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.
Thank you Welty for calling out the BS! Keep the third eye open.
That’s why people shouldn’t treat sneakers as investments. At the end of the day, they’re just shoes. People buy shoes to wear them, not flip them.
Bros name is now and forever Matt Melty......... love that
Welty always has great opinions and statements, but expressing them he always sounds just a little salty to me
lol especially if it's about a nike silhouette
And he takes forever to spit it out
He’s the grumpy old grandpa who complains about everything and starts all his stories with …”back in my day…”
hes very monotone
Dunne is on the SNKRS APP in the background on the Two: Minds friends and family cover page on Street Snkrs. I saw that mustache from a mile away. 😂😂
Good eyes haha
Not a Friday without this man ! Kick game properrrrr ! Salomon’s still in my heavy rotation!
Most definitely an interesting conversation as always !
Amazing job, guys !
What a great start to my friday! Greetings from Brazil!!!
Always happy to b back wit y’all’s
Always hype for a new episode
I would actually say the samba/gazelle trend sets a better foundation for Jerry to release than he had prior to its increase in popularity. The Sampha is sleek, minimalistic, flat soled, and a classic silhouette. The lifestyle sneakers Jerry is set to release feel like an elevated evolution of the current trend. The market seems primed for it, however, if they release a year from now I would be more hesitant for the reception.
as someone who's been wearing sambas, its so funny/weird to me how trends just appear. last year at university I saw 0 sambas, this year I see them everywhere, almost as much as dunks, if not more
Who else just saw this upload and realized it was Friday ❤
❤

@@L17_8jesus was scam.
Another good show💯
for me, the moments i get excited about regarding sneakers is when sneakers from the mid 90’s get retro’d such as the air adjust force that recently came out.
Welty has made going to the gym his entire personality 😂
Do you even lift bro lol 😂
Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.
everyone who goes to gym makes it their personality
He has a personality? 🤣
Hes so sad
Dunne went a little wild with the toner huh?
So good that you mentioned the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 - that is a cool story, and in the meantime, the women's marathon world record was broken with it!
Love the show guys. I wasn't quick enough to get the acw house blues. The black are fire tho
Great way to start the weekend off with the boys
I bought the Adidas Supernova Cushion 7 because of Brendan’s ad, so yes, let my boy Brendan advertise the Pro Evo 1’s!
Such a nice guy Math Healthy
Love the foot scapes can't wait to get a pair
Shoes is life ❤️🔥
Tiffany Dunks gotta a shout-out on the latest ep of The Morning Show!! Big JLP Show!!
Ultraboost hard to get on? For me, it's the contrary: have the laces loose, stow the ends away somewhere, and just use two hands to quickly slip it on. Never care about laces again, no tongue in the way. Slipping in has a little resistance depending on the version, yes, but it is easy to overcome for me. I never found any (traditional) shoe where I can slide in without using hands... (except for mules, slides etc. of course)
Wish this show was longer
I'm surprised people aren't making comparisons of the Balvin 3's to the A Ma 3's.
Love both.
I think the Book’s 📚 are cool they look simple I dig the all orange. They look like a skate shoe mixed with a Mac Attack
Good day bosses Joe, Brendan, Matt!
Jordan Gellar of the Shoezeum already tried the sneaker museum thing and he himself started selling them off after confirming the crumbling and difficulty preserving the shoes in his collection
I don't think art can be defined by how fast it breaks down. Paintings break down and have to get restored or repainted all the time. One of Amsterdam's most famous paintings is Rembrandt's The Night Watch. I went to go check it out this year on vacation and that painting is currently five years deep into a giant restoration project. There are sensors and cameras all over that painting and the learnings from that research are going to help scientists preserve other museum paintings. One of the craziest things I learned is that when paintings absorb loud acoustics from museums over time their backing can start to break down which warps the painting. Sneakers are going to break down in their own way but museums would figure out how to restore them
What.
sneakers are not art nor can they ever be art…the can become memorabilia but that’s where it stops…they have a main function which they must serve first (no matter how stylistic or artsy they make them) which excludes them from being art. Art’s main function is TO BE APPRECIATED by appealing to and connecting with human emotion. Not that shoes can’t do that but that’s not their intended purpose. If they were, then why are they made to contour a human foot and provide shock absorption or cushioned insoles?
@@06mikerome One counterpoint- if you look at the Met museum collection they have dinner plates, swords, chairs, and even shoes. None of those were meant to be museum pieces but they're being admired as art. Sneakers that are made now might not be considered art to us but I can see someone a hundred years from now wanting to see Michael Jordan's Flu Game Sneakers or the Usain Bolt Pumas from 2008, admiring them as art. Just like people go to see Ruby's Wizard of Oz slippers at the Smithsonian.
Welty is giving me those old man vibes. Dude tries too hard to not like something. 😂
Come on, Welty!
And he's not even old... Super poser 🤣
@@671oneblood 😆 he's not A poser, but I believe he gets stuck in his ways and chooses not to see other options at times.
@Resist_Oppression He's a major poser... Listen to his stories of when he was young. He's constantly been trying to be "the cool" guy and he's constantly made fun of. 🤣
You guys should bring on Jordan Geller, owner of the Shoezeum.
I’ve come to respect Welty having his opinions outside the norm but sometimes he goes to hard tryna be anti. Mainly anti Nike
Big facts. Looks like he's trying toooooo hard. So hard it's like he doesn't appreciate shoes other than the ones he likes.
Perhaps all three should disclose their interests so we know who's getting paid or sponsored or copping freebies. Problem is they would be conflicted all the time. If they want to be taken seriously as industry commentators then they need to be upfront. But they won't
the juice ACGs come back copping every color
Pause on Brendan eating meats with Bronson. Pause on Brendan running up to Pippen in the bathroom.
the slab of meat. LOL....pause.
The Nike SF Air Force boots are toughest shoe to get on
And also the Nike SB boom was pre-pandemic 2019 going into 2020
what was brendanne hinting at the end of the episode saying they going on hiatus again
. anyone catch that
I think what we have to look at is that the event and the shoes are a celebration of Basketball. The general consumer is not going to buy a Lebron 21 or a Devin Booker unless they are hooping in them (with a few exceptions). If you're immersed within the basketball culture and playing often, then you are more likely to be excited about the shoes releasing (like Lebron 20 when he pivoted away from his bulky silhouettes or even the Kobe 6 dropping). The culture back then USED to wear basketball shoes off the court casually. That is no longer here so of course less people are going to be excited (like the Lebron South Beaches that used to be a highly sought after long ago). I'm pretty sure the hoopers were excited to see what shoes were dropping at the event to unveil and play ON the court whereas those aren't hooping as often like the panel here is not going to drive or have much excitement. All perspective and what cultures you immerse yourself in.
When we getting that jlp shoe shirt.
Matt Melty
Welty asking if "anybody" cares about the DB 1 and the Lebron 21 is like asking if anybody cares about some spezial.
Nothing gives Welty more joy than the devaluation of the Yeezy's and the money that was lost by everyone involved. Love JLP and Dunne!!
Is fsr done?
Big JLP shoes are a double edged sword. Selling out faster and faster with resale getting higher and higher.
Welty wants to come of as “I’m so different cause I don’t like Nike” so bad 🤣
morning sneaka time
Welty is always right
Welty said that 🪓
Greatest jordan collection of all time belongs to Elliot. GOAT
Dependable Jay got some heat
Only Welty would be mad that Nike basketball athletes showed up to a Nike event for basketball. It’s like he’s intrinsically motivated to hate Nike- even when he shows love, he hates. It’s weird and unsettling at times.
When did Trinidad leave?
NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM BROOKLYN.
See those cowscapes made me throw up in my mouth…..ok lets get it 😂
JLP with the corkcile. Such a gen z
Giraffe print not cow haha😂
Eating slabs of meat with him is wild crazy JLP smh ⏸️⏸️⏸️
I'm here to firmly advocate for Welty and I to receive "MESH BOY SUMMER" bags. 2024 is almost here.
Cb34 hardest shoe to slip on
Nothing to do with sneakers, but who waxed my man’s JLP for a engine swap for 7k for a jeep😭
The Air Max CB94 are absolutely the most terrible shoe to try to get on for me. Debated selling them at this point due to how hard 😆
I used to hoop in the all white pair cuz CP3 used to at Wake Forest but you are right they are so tough to get on
33:00 Jerry Lorenzo played a big part in the Samba taking over the streets, in my opinion. What do you all think?
i agree with matt welty on the ultraboost take. they are impossible to get on and arent comfortable because the upper is so tight. but i did like the ultraboost st which had a detached tongue. those were great. adidas needs to make more ultraboosts with a tongue vs the sock shoe style.
Baggy pants are in. Trav likes baggy. He’s not tryna purposely hide the shoes he just likes the silhouette of his fit
YeH he iz
I miss the eBay giveaways, what shoe that you own, would you put up for a "complex" giveaway?
NO MORE JASON MARK PLEASE my ears are bleeding
Snip it…. “We got em”
Welty has got to be the biggest "Debbie Downer" I've ever heard or seen! Thank God for Joe and Brendan!! Lol
The mysterious sneaker collector you guy are talking about, Big Boy Cheng?
Idk your relationship with him, but I think the perfect pair would be a good guest
Welty has been in his ‘big hater’ bag a lot lately.
I like your take about rich people infiltrating the culture from outside, but you have to remember that you, specifically Joe, make these people take up more space in sneaker culture than they deserve. For example why does Dana White have his own Sneaker Shopping episode? He is a greedy rich man trying to get some goodwill through the sneaker culture. He would care about sneakers if it didnt make him money
Shoe that’s hard to put on is the Barkley itkyk😢
Book's shoe looks like a Cheeto.
The sneaker 👟 🐐 ssssss !!!!! Baaaaaaaa baaaaaa
Salomon’s aren’t comfortable at all unless you go a whole size up. Insanely narrow.
I'm not sure man. I got the XT4's and they're pretty comfy with no narrowness (from my person frequent wears).
@@thebros8157 they sent me out two last year for seeding and I had to give them both away 🤣 had to go up a full size.
Please invite Big Boy Cheng to your show.
The guy that sold the Yeezys for 1.8M, bought them back for 180k bro that would of been the Best Boss move. And in few years he sells them again for 1m+😂
Matt Smelly
So what do you guys think of Big Boy Chang who has an insane amount of shoes….
Who cares. If he knew what he liked he wouldn’t have so many
Might be late but when they say our friend “PG” who they talking bout anybody know?
You gotta admire Welty’s brutal honesty but he’s also the complex version of Skip Bayless almost feels like he’s intentionally divisive when Nike is the topic of discussion funny how the man not invited to the event is one hating on it lol
He owns, owned, and knows more about Nike sneakers than you and I combined. It’s clear he just prefers how other brands operate.
Brando, we both know that its never easy to stand tall in the midst of your failures... that's all it is, the company isn't excited to tell you about how they failed...we should empathize with them you know.. I know you're a journalist so you're justified in your frustration.. just giving my 2 cents for what it's worth.
Also please change the signage above JLP with the Youtuve "play" symbol. First its "ok" at best and I'm sure all those full time employees can figure our something more appropriate
With all due respect. It seems Welty has no regard/respect for sneaker sub-cultures. He seems to never give respect for the fact that the shoes he “isn’t into” are usually for sports (Basketball, Fball etc) that he isn’t into. I don’t think anyone on the show has personal connection to the aesthetics of basketball shoes (w/ exception of Joe) & it’s wack they don’t acknowledge that. If you ask a sneakerhead that is more into basketball shoes they may have entirely different reverence for certain sneakers vs. someone like Welty. & I feel like these 3 hold a lot of weight in the sneaker culture (obviously) but often seem to overlook the lack of experience/appreciation for certain cuktures represented in sneakers.
IMO or maybe I’m just trippin/hating 🤷🏾♂️ Still watching the show every week!
Bro if I see another Mark Jackson commercial imma stop watching lol
absolutely agree with welty.. nobody cares about the lebron 21 here in europe
I am a marathoner... would not buy them at all
Ultraboosts are only hard to put on if you didn’t 1/2 size up… 🤦🏽♂️
Can cooperate ?
They still selling yezzy tho
Hoopers definitely get excited about new hoop shoes that come out, especially new signatures like Book 1 and Sabrina 1. Performance models just aren't worn casually much anymore so the typical sneakerhead doesn't feel that excitement.
Jlp becomes a little more out-of-touch every season
Welty is such a good kid ! He’s that kid you wish was your neighbor growing up !!!!
36:00 to be fair the owner of the shoe became a billionaire selling shoes been the most rare of his pairs …. 180,000 is 10x the original Ofer….the 1.8 Million was a gamble on the future of the Yeezy brand value ….some times it pays like a Mickey mantle card some times it becomes a tulip bud ❤
He’s trying to hide the shoes just enough to get people talking and generate a buzz.
I bet that NB 💰 yall get is REAL NICE 😂
They don’t get any bag from nb besides the occasional seeding. Don’t be mad we’re smoking Nike and Adidas 😂
typical hypebeast
@nevereasy9501 Your not. 😆 Jordan brand alone makes more than NB. 😆
@@nevereasy9501Smoking Nike in what way? If Nike brought back Bowerman Series models from the late 90s/early 2000s they would obliterate New Balance. The Vomero 5 is a prime example of that. And that model is from the early 2010s. Especially if they brought back Alpha Project models. New Balance would be a lost cause.
