Debunking Drake's Kendrick Lamar Sneaker Diss | The Complex Sneakers Show
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2024
- Drake dissed Kendrick Lamar last week for being a “big stepper” with a size-7 men’s on, but it turns out the bar wasn’t actually factual. As the Rap War of 2024 now includes a footwear-related jab, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty reacted to the line and also talk about the clarification, from sneaker store Rif LA, that Lamar is in fact a few sizes up from that. Also, the co-hosts discuss Nike’s Olympic rollout of its A.I.R. prototypes in Paris, the plan to have less Air Force 1s in the market, and just how good Anthony Edwards’ AE 1 is.

Who has the better sneaker collabs, Drake or Kendrick?
Kendrick
Drake
Neither 😂
No one cares
we rockin with drake, make some drums
Honestly prefer the episodes of this podcast *without* guests ngl. Just the three of these guys chopping it up make for the best episodes impo.
big facts
Thought I was the only one that thought this. Sometimes the guests are pretty entertaining but it’s something about hearing feedback from their retail days etc that just makes the episode a whole lot better
Probably will be doing more non guest episodes going forward.
Same, I usually turn the guest episodes off 5 min into the guest. I’ve only enjoyed a couple.
Get AI out of shoe design
Sorry, but Brendan sounded like a Nike lapdog in this episode. The event was an absolute joke for a Nike Olympic year. The Pegasus premiums were nice and I might get a pair, but the tech is just rehashed and nothing revolutionary. The skate boarding shoes and break dancing shoes will be forgotten about. Finally, the A.I.R. shoes were nothing more than Nike taking those silly AI generated completely impractical future shoes that any random person can make with an AI program and 3D printing them and acting like they’re revolutionary. None of those shoes are practical or have a chance of ever being produced for consumers
Cry a river
@@Resist_OppressionNike simp
Pegaus Premium def not revolutionary, but still a cool shoe. Feel like I said in here a few times that I wasn't totally convinced by what Nike had to offer, but I get that I'm going to be more enthusiastic than most since I was here.
I've been watching these guys for years. Does everyone see Welty as "Deputy Downer" and Dunn as "Captain Enthusiasm" and JLP is "Joe Cool"?
I just see 3 white dudes that get waaaay too many free shoes.
no because it's not that deep i just watch & enjoy the show
Nah, Welty keeps it’s real
“Wet Blanket Welty”
Welty is Master Ugwe, Dunne is Master Shifu, and Joe is The Dragon Warrior
Welty with the Khalil Gibran Tee !👀❤🔥
Welty was a tough listen today… he needs a Debbie Downer edit
He’s a miserable Nike hater who’s in bed with NB!
Mat, on the Drake Kendrick dis, that's just how people roast. It's like if we were at a bar and I tell you, "you got a runway on your forehead", are you gonna point to your forehead and say that's factually incorrect, lol.
Hey Matt: color code on the retail box of the “officially Industrial Blue AJ4” actually lists the blue as ‘military blue’
These are - as they’ve always been - the Military Blue 4. 👍🏾
People hate on Welty because he keeps it real. People hate on Welty because he doesn't cream over Nike and Jordans like all you hypebeasts do. Welty is the best one on this pod
i wouldn't say any one of the 3 is "better" than the other but i agree with you
Thank YOU. Not to mention everyone used to diss him for rocking Spezials, Sambas, New Balances, etc. 5 years ago. And now look em now 🤐
What a nasty take 🤣🤣
Why does this episode feel so edited? I liked the off the cuff and off topic rants
Not sure-no more edited than the usual ones.
Size 7 Mens not Available..We only have Youths Sizes
Weltys shirt is dope
Love Welty, but this rap battle fact check was a huge L. He even misconstrues what a simile is, which is when you compare two things using like or as.
How can Welty understand that the stacks reference is an exaggeration but cant connect that the size 7 is an exaggeration for small feet? Just mind boggling
FTR the actual shoebox says "Military Blue." Nike done fooled y'all.
The AE Tie Dye looks very inspired by one of the Pharrell NMD Holi pack pairs (Pink Glow/Powder Dye).
Size 7 can come in youth. It’s true, it’s not the same.
Most of the time when working at a shoe store we would have a 7 youth instead of mens 7
@@jamalsaladsfacts smallest men's size is a 7.5
Smalles size in mens can actually be down to a 5
14:55 Looks like a 2028 HyperFlight. Loved those shoes the moment I saw White Chocolate in them.
AE1 is great but the hoop shoe that should be on the top 10 list is the Sabrina shoe. First women's shoe really embraced by NBA and men's hoopers. Plus it is the best shoe to actually hoop in.
Never been this early. Lol. I'll edit my comment when i finish watching
😂
not michelle tanner i thought it was joey gladstone with the cut it out... also the self lace nikes didnt catch on bc at $720 not too many people will be able or want to buy it,, i think after having the airbubbles and high tech sneakers i realized i like my sneakers simple and plain but rare like from other parts of the world and that stands out, im not into crazy sneakers i think the jeff staples nft metalic sneakers were nice and those would work for a futuristic sneaker.. but what about the interview with the prime minister of israel, ydanis rodriguez, george santos, wisin, john stamos, the olsen twins, sasha mitchel, jeremy miller, manuel ferrara, cazzu , renoli santiago for dunne, the nick jonas for welty and chili parker for lapuma
Welty cant be the one commenting on battle rap
My favorite AE is also the all star colorway. They remind me of when Gohan went SSJ2 🔥🔥🔥
Thought all the A.I. driven concepts didn't have any Wow factor in them, but the Pegasus Premium though am quite impressed with the ZoomX/Air unit/ReactX foam used on this sneaker, it's basically the Nike Air Max that I always envisioned to be made.
The SB PS8's looked a bit like those Tom Sachs General Purpose collab from 2023.
the nike jam breaking shoe thumbnail was wrong!
Love these podcast 🙌
Big energy on this episode feels like a pub chat
Mate.
Dublin sneakerhead here,
I wouldn’t wear the Union Jack reeboks, eg classics /club C personally, because of the Union Jack. Id wear the jjjound ones that don’t have the flag though .
Definitely goes person to person and upbringing to upbringing/ family history though ☘️✔️
Just food for thought
How are you not going to talk about the Jordan Brand Roman Reigns deal.
please never have Welty comment on the sarcasms of rap disses ever again
yeh so if you have nothing to say to someone you just invent something just lie for clout,,,lol
Never have Welty comment on rap period
They actually ARE military blue... I was a huge proponent of "they're not called military blue because the color is actually industrial blue" and thought I was vindicated when we got the hydro IV slides in and the color was white/industrial blue (I'm a sneaker store mgr) but the 4s are in fact white/military blue
Not looking for a music take from Welty. If Drake knew Kendrick’s actual size that’s an L.
Shout out Welty for the shirt
Looking forward to that pegasus
Did you show the break dancing shoe or the Skateboarding?
@4:19
We need Arthur back 🏎️🔥
Fellas!! What we think about JFG NB 1000?
Welty wore the pink pair last week
COMPLEX SNEAKER PODCAST VLOGS AN KEEP THEM COMING 💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Another great show on Friday homies!
51:17 yall talk about AE1s so much but never seen yall in them, how can it be that dope but yall not wearing it, and I like the shoe 😂
Best sneaker show on the planet !
Matt's spot on about his points on nike' I totally agree with his opinions, im a sneaker og' from Cleveland
Welty and JLP’s take on if the bar hit or not reminds me of Rick Ross fans vs non Rick Ross fans
Welty with the fire shirt
42:34 : I dont think he was being literal when he said theres a difference
hitting the stride a bit more, gj yall
my weekend begins!
It’s Friday
Besides the sneakers, this podcast is good. You can literally see the back and forth disagreement but in a respectful way.
Wonder if they’ll do an episode on how the Fear of God x Adidas collab flopped
MY JFG BLACK ICES JUST CAME IN TODAY! 🙌🏽
NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM BROOKLYN.
I’m with Welty on the kendrick shoe size thing, and the jayZ bar dunne used as a parallel is def different bc there are no measurements or specifics given to actually disprove it. Different type of situation, good discussion tho
😂😂😂 yall crazy for this one!
Problemsolver8 is fire. Skate community certified hood classic. Hoping to tear a pair up this summer! Seen some better photos of them up close. Gives off major Tom Sachs vibes. 🤙🏽
It's the Full House reference for me.
all those AI designs are a L
U Missed The Up Coming Sneakers Release For April 2024 as Well Too What Up with That As well
Let’s be real the affordability of the AE1 is a huge factor in its success - especially where these retros are 200+ retail.
“Im gonna sit here and take it all in” is crazyyyy
i have to agree that drake is not ahead in the rap battles and i think hes corny as well. Even though Cole backed out - he did drop a full mixtape while the others did a couple songs max. Kendrick does need to come out with something else though imo
Drake not making a peep after ADIDON said it all
clicked off because welty was wearing ankle socks
Union Jordan 1 Footscape most underrated sneaker of last year. Goes with everything, looks like a Jordan 1 but more interesting. If it came out in 2020, would have been a $600 shoe.
I agree with Matt, had Nike said we've got all these AI shoes and we've taken everything we've learnt to make this new shoe for the olympic year that you can buy right now and announced a new revolutionary shoe it'd land better. But by saying these are just prototypes that you can't use but you can buy a new pegasus that looks a lot like a Hoka Clifton just isn't right.
Also fact check: not EYBL (Nike) but 3SSB (Adidas) for that AE1 Tie-Dye - need an apology next week
I thought the size 7 diss was based on The Weekend
Y’all forgettin’ ‘bout the Adidas Dame 4 😓
I don’t think Nike’s problem is working remote… I think it might be their addiction to riding the revenue wave of sure things. We’re OVER just seeing multiple color ways of the same 3 shoes. It’s to the point of fatigue. Dunks, J 1’s, it’s just getting old. Welty actually had GREAT points here
That ad was bogus.
Dunn looks like one of those athletes tee shirts from back in the day a huge head and a little body.😮
Not an adidas fan but I do like the ae and the 3 pack was hard to get I did Score a Venice beach 11 tho so shout out to the Big 3😂
I want those Nike ps8!!!! 🤩
JLP rockin the Airism Oversized Tee?
union jack has that white line much more bold
Welty is right drakes bar got a lot less weight since kendrick is a 8.5-9
What everyone’s thought on the Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Shadow 2024? Hit for me!
There’s so much more to takeaway from Drake’s diss song, to get caught up on one line is kinda crazy. His diss was very well thought out and I promise you I’m not even a fan of his… if you watch a breakdown you can’t help but think it’s impressive.
His ghostwriters definitely deserve a lot of credit 🙌🏻
@@bern717 yes they do!
Matt is absolutely right. Diss tracks come with facts!!
Get Joe Fresh Goods, Benny the Butcher and Clark Kent back
Arthur Kar come back to the podcast! Jerry Lorenzo, Ben baller would be another good couple choices!!!
Got em! ❤
Ok 8-9 is still BABY SHOES BRUH😂😂😂
Although sneaker culture is lame to me this podcast is as fresh as ever.
Welty speaks nothing but the truth! Drake a cornball!
WE NEED ARTHUR KAR BACK!!!
Dunks and Jordan 1s are perfect shoe designs. I don’t understand the bashing of those shoes, especially when it comes to that of a business. Of course they’re going to sell items that people like..
YES !!! Please bring back Arthur Kar !
I love my union 1s 😢
@ M Welty How about Nike beating Adidas to German national team?
Welty big hating on Drake 🤣🤣
Whoever edits this should be fired 😂
They’ll talk about 10 different shoes. ZERO pics and then they mention an AF1 and you put a pic of the all white lows up like that’s the one shoe nobody knows. Smart.
fav show on youtube 🥰
Nike talk wearing adidas 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥G-DRAGON MENTION LETS GOOOOOOO🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Air Sesh tho?
his only response was “ corny “ 😂😂😂😂 yeah that explains everything dude didn’t even have a reason . drake definitely up
If the presenters were your uncle, Welty would be the pub uncle who sorts out your problems, Dunne is the uncle who gets you into music, movies and books, and JLP is the uncle with a car full of kids to different mamas who you like to party with. 😂.
Joe: The pragmatic leader
Brendan: Professional journalist
Matt: The angry man
Welt Welty is too Anti Nike. , he suddenly became pro Nike when Back door 🚪 Jordan was on .. but otherwise he should embrace what the brand has done - does and will do , instead of playing it down .. pls let Joe LA POOMA know ✌️
I love the Nike slander from Welty, well deserved
