What's your favorite sneaker reference in music?
"I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path.." - Phife Dawg A Tribe called Quest
Paris SB's make these n***as catch seizures
Foam game sh*tting on Irish Springs and Lever. Wale- what it look like
Old song waaaay before Paris SBs caught on.
2012... stockx wasn't a thing. Wale deserves his sneaker head king title for his footwear bars here.
@@mangione93 I've known this one all my life... and it's actually the reason I copped NB back in the mid 90s
"Some days I'm in my Yeezys, some days I'm in my Vans"
"Ice Cream sneakers, I signed my first skater
So you can pay three and buy yourself some Bapestas"
I knew this was gonna be insightful, but didn't expect that "Art of War" move with using the Dunk to defeat the NMD 🤣 those kinda tales are priceless
that bit from Jeff was the best take out of this episode. There were others but this was as much of a validation from an Insider than what editors or correspondences can report on.
That's what I'm watching now. I was like "So that's the beginning of the sock shoe!"
Immediately I know this is a podcast I want a part 2 and 3 of.
We needed this! The one and only Jeff staple on the Coolest sneaker podcast that does really solid clear and entertaining deep dives!
That could’ve been a three hour special and we’d all have stayed glued. Great work
Amazing episode. Jeff Staple shared so much priceless knowledge. Love it!
JLP, Brendan, and Matt are setting the bar higher and higher for the sneakers podcast game!
Jeff Staples episodes are always great because he is candid, great stories, and insight with historical context.
Top 3 episode, Jeff will always be the goat. He's the guiding light in this murky waters we're currently all trying to navigate. GOD MODE
Growing up in Jersey City … jumped on the path.. since the 5th grade. Paragon had the best Tennis Gear. Bought my Dunlop there circa 1993. And yes bought my roller blades too. Store was like 4-5 floors. Gigantic..Great workers who were mad helpful. Been in the shy for 23 years but always bigging up NYC Baby. 🙏🏻💪🏽
This episode literally flew by, amazing stories and knowledgeable content once again guys! Keep knocking it out of the park this season 🔥
IM SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS PODCAST TILL THE END! THE ENDING WAS DEADASS PERFECT!!!! THANKS JEFF!!!!

Jeff Staple is one helluva interview and legend in the culture.
This episode was great! So much great info in here
So good to listen to Jeff Staple's stories. Such a humble guy too.
Such a big “considered” fan. Happy to hear the story. Big Staple fan. Thank you for the episode.
Can we have a new show with Jeff Staple just talking about sneakers, it’s just great to watch
I grew up skating... always loved/love Airwalks. Soo pumped I own Staple Airwalk one. Own the staple airwalk jacket as well. I own too much airwalk. Glad Jeff Staple touched on em.
1:01:10 all gen z : what is credit?

"I'm here for you though" 😂
Joe is the best sport
Nike's response to Adidas Boost was the dunk. Do you think they're making the same mistake as adidas in over-releasing dunks?
Welty came threw w my fav GFK sneaker bar! Great topic!
I remember being in high school when all these dunk grails came out(class of 04). My friend would come over my house to use my computer to look at dunks.
I've seen Jeff Staple on some things before but this was so entertaining, probably my favourite episode so far, I could listen to JS rap about the culture all day and he made me feel guilty for thinking Warren Lotus Dunks are fakes. I guess I missed the point. Who's next?!?
great guest and insights
Friday has finally come !
Dope one! Jeff’s a legend in the game 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That ending in such a great way . I’m off to find my passion 😅
I would love to hear conversations between Jeff and Bob Hundreds!
fantastic episode boys !
Friday favourites 🔥🔥
This was an amazing episode
Super interesting chat. Loved it.
This episode was pure gold. The man the myth the legend!
Best episode. Thanks team.
Great episode..very interesting guy,amazing life story,I respect him and his accomplishments even more after seeing how great his attitude is,plus were from the same Era so I totally understand his angle and importance to the culture
Gained so much pop culture cognizance from Jeff within that hour, wow. Great episode gentlemen 👏
Those new balance 997 Aime Leon Dore was what started the new balance crave. I remember how I couldn’t believe how hard it was for me to cop that day .
Love watching old episodes specially when it’s about NFTs 😂😂😂😂
I look forward to every Friday...
Jeff’s insight was great to listen to
Brilliant episode. Jeff Staples is such an interesting guest.
"somedays I'm in my Yeezys some days I'm in my Vans" - Ye. More of the recent sneaker bars in music today.
That was 6 years ago, but it feels like yesterday huh? No More Parties in LA
I'm the same age as Jeff, and he inspires me to keep pursuing the dream. Great episode!!!
Those SNS Tailwind’s are so fire
Took me years to find a size 13
Great show, great guest. I'd like my son to hear the ending
I used to shop on Digital Gravel.
Those were the good old days.
Got plenty of shirts from there.
They all gone now though :(
But recently I replaced one thanks to eBay
@complex yall need to fix the audio frfr... this is the only podcast that im not able to listen on Spotify at work because the sound of yall voices ain't loud enough especially when yall get a kinda shy guest.... I see yall have good mics but the sound guy could definitly do a better job.... anyways, #1 sneaker podcast in the game, keep it up 💯
Not the fruitopia!!! Epic Welty!
Glad to hear JLP again. Last episode Welty and Dunne definitely stepped up though
Great talk 🙌
It was my understanding that Nike bought something like 150 pairs of shoes from stockx via a undercover account. Most of the shoes they bought were the Patent Leather Jordan 1 Breds that released recently. Apparently out of those there were several that were fake. I dont know how much of a case that gives them but thats what read in an article about the whole thing.
Crazy that this episode comes on the day I went to Sneaker Politics in Dallas and some guy asks another guy what shirt he was wearing and it was a Staple shirt. Crazy!
You think the way I do. I never wear the shapes of the moment either or the "hot" kicks. I wanted New Balance 550 before release ages ago... they get quite popular and I decided to avoid em. Not to mention they kept selling out. I grabbed SI-18 Kswiss in Og red white and blue and later the Rowing Blazers collab. I totally won. I never see anyone in em. (I was watching The Fugitive 2 weeks ago... apparently Harrison Fords character was a fan of the SI-18 as well. )
Came here to shoutout DOM KENNEDY • Tennishoes and here goes Welty with the proper respect. Love!
Didn’t know the purple pigeon wasn’t his and and dunks being a retaliation at all the boost is crazy y’all been killing it with the guest recently who’s next teddy santis
I'm glad JLP is wearing something that you can actually find on Nike SNKRS (at least in Mexico, you can). Beautiful sneaker the AJ5 Low Clot, and the best, not reselling for so much.
58:30 the look on these guys' faces when Staple recommended getting someone on the show who's critical of nike corporations' questionable actions that got these guys the platform for their shows 😂
Welty with the hoodie, long white socks.. good look on you man. Long socks will always make the calves look beefier, pro tip
"NIKE CHOSE GREED OVER EARTH" Jeff Staples name will live for generations to come
Last dunk I was able to go get easily without jumping through hoops was the black pigeon
Alright, so I'll keep posting this on every episode in 2022 until eBay and Complex let overseas folks participate in the giveaway... If we can sell on eBay and pay fees, we should be able to participate.
So..retrospective of the NMD special episode?
Woooooooooow, mind blown 🤯 “LIFE’LESSONS”
This guy is really cool
And I can confirm as well for the Louis as well for here in LA they are giving clients who spend a large amount, a million is excessive maybe they get the absolute first dibs but again I know for a fact and say the text from a Louis rep to a girl I know for a fact who spent I’d say at least 100k at Louis within the last year
Highlight of the episode, watching the steam coming out of Matt Weltys ears while talking about NFTs 😂
Shoe/Version name from the Thumbnail?
Jeff Staple 💯 Legendary 👟👑
i absolutely loved this episode but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wanted to hear someone mention Zadeh and that whole debacle
i see you JLP! Shout out to Sarku Japan
JLP didn’t like that spice girls question 😂 😂
I asked a similar question two episodes ago :(
"What kind of package?" LOL
hay guys love the vids !! u should have Mike Tyson on for an episode and gift him a pair of the pigeon dunks ? please ? cheers 🍻size US15 ? or 15.5 ?
Matt Welty the legend really brought a grapefruit soda to match with his sneakers 🤣 He'd never admit it but iykyk
Amazing Amazing Amazing
2nd fave sneaker bars...
I beatbox a n**ga like the music
I’m thuggin’ in my Reebok, I never need Gucci- Kodak Black, Pimpin ain't easy.
Kodak has plenty funny sneaker bars. And I mean plenty. He doesn't get enough respect for his confident sneaker bars

I got space jams on my feet I'm on the moon. I'm really lit so I don't gotta use no auto tune -Kodak Black "There he go"
If the Mars yard didn't have the hype(value) behind it they would sit at discount stores. I would never
Nike will never share the step-by-step areas they check for validation of authenticity. Because since they’re the architects in constructors of the shoes for them to give out the secret recipe of what’s authentic and what’s not because all the replica manufactures to make those same adjustments.
Orthotics are the real deal fellas
52:20
I think Nike needs to retro the pigeons for the 25th anniversary of staple
Bruh didn't know what havianas are... them were my jawns in 2000. I still try to get my homies on em.
very surprised Brendan didn't interject and say "reDUNKculous" @ 1:05:55. missed opportunity
Definitely do a mini doc on the NMD. The hottest shoe for 3 years.
This guy is cool
I know a lil rich oxyhoe who spends helllaaaaaaaa on Louis at all the flag stores and she got seated and got to choose which force she wanted however the choices they gave her were limited
