I like how Nelly keeps saying “we”. He always makes sure to include the Lunatics
No matter what, nelly always reminds of my childhood .. so much nostalgia . And no doubt one the the most underrated artist of all time !
He’s not underrated - he went DIAMOND 💎 very short list, there. Undeniable.
underrated to who?
@@daysrays3987 After the success he had, he was not mentioned enough from the audience ( after 2005 ).
Underrated 😂

Nelly had me trying to rock a bandaid 🩹 on my face back when I was a kid. 😂

Nelly the reason why I got my ears pierced 😂
LOL love it!
Man I remember them days 😂
He had we all 🤣
To say Nike owes this man in perpetuity is truly an UNDERSTATEMENT. If you grew up through that time you saw it happen. (After that record, they weren't just regional anymore). Everyone likes to rake in the money from Hip Hop culture but then dismisses its relevance to culture. How does that work?🤔
FACTS 💯
Owe him for what? He did nothing for Air Force ones Jay-Z didn’t do
All he did was rap about em, it's not like he made the shoe.
If he raps about money, does the Federal Reserve owe him too? 🌽
@@lexxdiamondz Technically they owe everybody but that's another story 😂
Nelly deserves his own custom Air Force. Let him design one and sell it to the public
I always think of the all white AF1 when I see him lol
Facts
HE MADE AIR FORCE ONES. ALL OF THEM. ❤️
I think he has his own if I’m not mistaken
True
I was kinda surprised that it's not until NOW that you got Nelly, man's discography was a staple in sneaker culture
Ikr. I thought they did him years ago. When I got the notification for this video I was like Nelly?? Now?? 🤣

Such a humble guy! He deserves credit for what he did, in due time!
Nelly is an icon. I respect this man’s impact on hip hop. And it is messed up how big companies will use someone & make big profits off someone. But we appreciate you Nelly!

I don't think he is an icon. He doesn't have many recognizable hits by the mainstream be considered an icon. Other than Hot in Herre...
@@khyome4340 you must be crazy. This foo had the early 2000’s on fire 🔥! I ain’t even know what Air Force 1’s were before he put em on the mainstream
They need us.. they can't even sell the s*** they make..
They need us to sing and rap about it
@@khyome4340 so bad u born in Taylor Swift Era.
can we all agree this has to be the best prices we’ve seen on this show 😂😂
They took a break from resell shops

Literally pausing on the receipt as I'm typing this, completely shocked
lol facts
Nelly gets it. People bought Jordan’s back in the day because they thought it would help your game on the court. The marketing was amazing.
Bruh you can't tell me you didn't hoop in 11 through 14. I hooped in 12 and 13s daily and they were built like tanks! Especially with that full grain leather.
@@saunupe1911 no, I hooped in 5’s when they first came out. The tech in the early 90’s was game changing. Reebok Pumps were also huge back in the day. Those were awesome as well.
11s and 12s are actually great performance wise.
Hush up

Awesome to see him gravitate towards GRs. Goes to show if the shoe is clean, it should be copped. And what's up Nike, pay this dude forever. I was in my 20s when Nelly was "stomping in his AF1s" and he is right, them shoes skyrocketed after that. He should be paid for life!
GRs are the new “limited” pairs. Try getting a Jordan 4 GR for retail. GR and QS pairs on the same boat now
@@isthisnametaken9965 I've been lucky then. Over the past few years, I've hit the "What the 4s" , 3 pair of Fire Red 4s, Winterized 4s, 2 pair of White Oreo 4s, 2 pair of Lightening 4s, Red Thunder 4s, Cool Grey 4s, and more recently, the Infrared 4s...all at retail. The Jordan 1 High seems to elude me. Well, until this year. Even those sit now. Which is a good thing. Cheers!
@@SoleSearchingwJamon me too. But I’m saying GR used to mean they sit in shelf’s you go like 2-3 days later to pick up a pair with no problem. Now certain GRs aren’t even sitting for a few hours. I hate 1s so I would just buy to resell, now they sitting I don’t even buy at all
Forces were popular before and after the song hype died. He didn't do much for forces. Just gave it a number for a little

I love me some Nelly....HE is such a LEGEND and he really changed the game over the years🥰💞💯👊
Is Nelly even still producing?? Iv not listened to him since early/mid 2000's when I was a teenager. Though I dont really listen to RnB music anymore. It was just MTV and being with the crowd when you was at school lol
I already know he’s gonna get some forces💯💀
Its a must!
Lol
not at this high priced store, could get them somewhere else for $50-$65
You’re wrong he didn’t lol
Sike
This episode HAD to happen! Gotta put the biggest steppers in the sneaker world on the show. Got Joe, Got Nelly, and a few other big names that were a must! Great episode!

Nelly is so modest. What a cool guy and amazing artist for sure!
Nelly is almost 50 years old & still has his signature haircut & still has no greys on his 5’oclock shadow beard . Lol
He looks really young for his age
He almost the same age snoop that's crazy

Hip Hop & Sneaker Legend Nelly! This man made some of the greatest sneaker songs of all time! "Air Force 1s" & "Stepped On My J'z" 🔥🔥
Air force 1s song is trash. But it was a hit
don’t forget Dilemma
Stepped on my Jz was stolen
@@philgranderson576 from?
@@Tandfen a local group in Stl
Still my playlist starts with "just a dream"...Nelly the legend forever
Let me guess, you’re 15 years old?

Nike definitely owes most of the AF1 sales to Nelly! He definitely put them on the map
Then Nelly owes some of that to Nore and Cardan for puttin him on uptowns. He was checkin for reeboks!
AF1 was on the map before Nelly. Bad Boy in the mid 90s put them on in my opinion. Nelly def took it up another level though. Harlem/Uptown thing as Nelly said he was a Reebok guy
Yea that’s correct but i feel Nelly did it the most In My opinion
@@syates0425 yeah true but he brought them back to mainstream fashion not just hip hop culture
Nike should show some love to Nelly. But if you think AF-1 blew up because of him, you are mistaking big time or you might be too young to know what you are talking about. AF-1 has always been a cult classic. Nelly deserves credit for possibly introducing the shoe to certain regions like maybe down south or west coast. But im from Chicago and I was wearing AF-1's since the early 90's. By the time that song came out I had already ran through 20-30 pairs.
Way overdue. Nelly's a sneaker icon.

What Nelly said is 100% true! Air Force Ones song is the reason I fell in love with the 1's too, back in 2002.
Been waiting to watch this all day !
A Legend for real !
Such a cool humble guy that can still joke around ! This episode makes me want to go a pair of AF1's
Beautiful episode, Joe ! One of my favorites for sure !
Great episode for sure! Love the history and the great stories! I grew up during this period of time and it is every bit as nostalgic and epic as spoken here today! Thanks for video
The history behind switch around for the sneaker brands is crazy to me. Now Air Force 1s is one of the most popular shoes compared to Reebok classics
air forces 1 has all been popular people just don't know there history.

For the culture, he is more synonymously attached to AF1's than Bruce Kilgore, so I since it's the 40th anniversary, it's only right Nelly touches an AF1. Furthermore but separately, I think it's about time the some Terror Squad 1's dropped. The season don't even matter, they'll fly more than any 11's in December.

Still have his sweat and suit albums. He came to Taiwan for a concert at a club and I had thought this guy fell off. But dude is a legend
Before Nelly I wasn't into sneakers. This man sure had a huge impact on the industry.
NELLY, what it takes to be number 1 is my biggest record of all time for me.
Really enjoyed it!! Nelly rocks!! 🔥

Nelly is a good man, very nice I see him in Vegas often when he's doing shows and going to different restaurants..acknowledging people, waving, saying Hi, etc. .
They woke Nelly up and was like “ yo you got a sneaker show to do, come on.”😂.
Nelly is aging like fine wine
Dope episode. Didn't really know about the whole story behind AF1s video but hope he eventually does get his residuals.
I was low key mad when AF1 song came out, because only wore retro shoes in HS so I was already rocking them. They were $54.99 after the song immediately after the song $74.99
Watching JLP watch himself the entire episode was sublime. True professional.
I'd watch an entire Netflix documentary on Nelly and Air force 1s. Lol.
Loved this one!!! Complex can we get
Kadeem Harrison on the show his shoe run in a different world was 🔥🔥🔥
When it comes to Conversation, this is Probably One of the best Episodes
I like how Nelly spent retail and we spending resell

No one in my area rocked Air Force 1’s until Nelly made that song, that’s why the price sky rocketed, Nelly deserves so much more from Nike but we all know Nike isn’t the most ethical company out there. When I think about my entire life and the rap game, no single person was as influential when it came to style as Nelly was.
One of the best episodes
Nelly definitely put Air Force1s on the map. I remember getting my first pair of all white forces back in da day
He definitely blew them up. They been on the map

One man u barely see on the news. Respect
Nelly ain't telling the truth about the price of AF1's back in 02. They were $59.99 as he stated but back 07 for the 25th anniversary of AF1's they were $79.99. It was a $20.00 price increase over those 5 years.

Nelly evolving into uncle with them jokes & I love it.
So true! I bought the classic Air Force 1s because of Nelly's song Air Force Ones. I grew up listening to Nelly and he has a huge influence in my taste in shoes and music
Nelly seems like such a down to earth guy. Also my cousin used to go crazy for him when we were little.
Your cousin isn't the only one lol true story my cousin sis Sabrina been with Nelly and Murphy Lee....
