- June Ambrose is a costume designer and creative director who’s spent 30 years elevating the style of hip hop icons. She was there with Jay Z since the beginning, she was there when Missy Elliott signed her deal with Adidas, and she was there when Busta Rhymes needed exaggerated visuals to match his energy. In this episode, she relives her long resume, reflects on her Puma work, and dishes out some style advice. Also, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty talk about Jack Harlow’s New Balances, upcoming Nike SB Dunks, and the LeBron James’ potential sneaker for his last season in the NBA.

Kanye West
1-Slick Rick, 2-Raekwon, 3-Pharrell, 4-Asap Rocky, 5-Killa Cam .......but obviously open to debate
"Dont be a fan be a friend" might be one of the most beautiful things ive heard on this podcast
This was one of my favorite episodes. June Is a pioneer and to hear these stories makes me want to learn so much more about sneaker/fashion history
1:35 @complex LOVE that topic menu layout. Very similar to the old school SportsCenter layout. Keep it going!!
Rest Easy DP
Great Show. How amazing is June, so naturally cool, knowledgeable and humble 🙌 Also super happy for the Welty/Agassi moment
That hat looks Crazy af. Like she about to go hunt wascally wabbits 😂
Elmer Fudd 😅
That bigazz hat 😂😂😂😂 I couldn’t look her straight in the face
She really looks like she's gonna race horses. Looks like a jockey hat
it looks crazy but idk it kinda works if youre a professional creative lol, i also think of pharrell
I didn't like those Y3s when they were released, that "bridge' thing was weird to me, but seeing them being worn by such a stylish person made me rethink about the whole design of those shoes. Much love, thank you
Great interview, all her answer were thoughtful and well placed. You can tell she is veteran in the game.
My favorite episode of all time! She's a living legend and so full of light. An absolute gem.
This was an amazing show!!! She is really a gem and you all asked some very great questions
THIS is my fav episode so far. I’m a log time June Ambrose fan… she speaks to my fashionista heart. Amazing interview guys. 💜
I've just watched this on my phone and now opened a tab on my computer to remember to watch it again. Heart warming perfection
Dope interview. I remember all those pivotal culture connections & proud to see Bronx Girl Ma...turity was behind most of it! June's (been) approved w/o the approval process. B1
Welty wearing some iconic Js, you love to see it. My pair still heavy on the rotation.
Extremely rare, brings a tear to the eye.
I can tell he only wore them during the airing of the show. I'm sure he was really wearing those "Keisha Blue" New Balance sitting next to him, they even match his outfit.
@@Su006 yeah they do that from time to time. Maybe he felt like rocking some Js for the pod, who knows
@@brendandunnecomplex pretty sure the last time was also this pair last year when he first got em lol
Aj3 is an amazing shoe but welty wearing this shoe is affirmation 😅 that 85 cut Aj1's and new shape AJ4's and AJ11's are the only Jordan's I need in my rotation at the age of 45.
Kick game properrrrr ! Not a Friday without this!
Loving the side screen timeline!
She’s beyond dope! Really love her style
Such amazing conversations!
Great job, guys !
Wow June Ambrose ...listening to her voice its so melodic yet purposeful , this interview was amazing as she is just delivering all of these great bars of history in the spirit/ tradition of all the great Griots !
Amazing guest and amazing interview energy thanks guys!
R.I.P Dallas Penn 🙏🏼
Always.
kicking the episode off with Welty in AJ3 = immediate thumbs up
She's great!,excellent episode.. Her personality is beautiful
This set-up is mad nice, colors are amazing.
What’s going on with all these breaks, 2wks is lowkey kinda crazy, especially with no FSR 💯💯💯
Matt Welty with Jordan’s on is wild af
I love her 🙏🏽💙, and good job fellas , and Welty came thru today on the questions ! 👊🏽👍🏽
JOE LA PUMA LOOKS GREAT IN WHITE SNEAKERS
Pretty good interview. June is so inspiring.
Long Live Dallas Penn 🕊️❤️🙏🏼
I love her voice
R.I.P to the internets. Truly a street legend and had the pleasure of meeting him a few times on the train back in the day.
Congrats to Welty for finally meeting Andre Agassi!!!
The Last time I came this early my girl left me 😔
🔥🔥🔥💚💚nice podcast
Sneaker Fiends Unite
Los Internetos.
Love the pod. I am a big fan and long time listener. I have 1 point of feedback though... why do we have to always do a run through of everything welty posts on x or insta? Feels like we're just going thru his timeline every week. This is coming from someone who generally agrees with welty's takes and is a fan.
Because he’s honestly the one who has the hottest takes. And whether they agree with him or not, it generates conversation
What's the white and green puma in the thumbnail?
top 5 guest no bs👍🏽🫡
Nice. Top 50
I still regard cross colours. I have been rocking the stuff since like 93
That’s a very pretty classy lady you have on there … also the Niblick Blue JOE Freshgoods are incredible
Love love her strong personality. If you’re reading this hi 👋
Nostalgic
I have every pair of the floral janoskis so good
i’m 40 and i got married in sneakers, my first pair of J i had it when i was 10 (in italy) we were kinda stigmatized but i only wear sneakers since 30 years
Welty affirmed: not predictable in the WC3. Haha. Cowabanga. 🤙
I do miss Welty's "getting pressed/triggered" meter, I envisioned it above his head for ~ @10:50
Great episode, legendary guest
RIP Dallas Penn❤🙏🏽
Bring full size run back
That hat is top-tier
it’s EDNA the incredible’s character is based on edith head .. correcting her all loud and wrong 💀😄 .
A missy elliott episode would be great
Honestly this show doesn’t need guest ,
her shoes are fresh
I’m I hallucinating ?? Matt welt WELTY wearing JORDAN ??
somebody needs to help her for sure. that hat is hilarious...
I would absolutely love if meyhem became a regular on the show/ fsr replacement
❤❤❤❤❤
So Trinidad James isn’t on the show anymore?
RiP DP 🙏
If that hat had a Yankee logo…she’d be killing it…😂
Break of the pants. Break beats. Break yo self. Ambrose ✊
I’m in Miami Brendan you didn’t talk about the ASAP ROCKY PUMA DROP The Friday and Saturday of race week COLLAB WITH CNCPTS POP UP THAT HAPPENED IN MIAMI AND SOLEFLY DROPPED 4 exclusive stadium 90 Jordan color ways
Got mine, sitting on show room floor, jd sports
June Ambrose ...what a legend!
tell her that the Cam Newton hat thing doesn't work for anyone other than Cam
Or cam
@@jessewarner5137 Or Elmer Fudd. MAYBE Kerwin Frost.
You obviously don’t know who she is or how long she’s been styling celebrities…smh
Surprised Welty didn’t call out Dunn for wearing the big bubbles after initially hating on them 🤔
she is gorgeous
she seems cool
“A LA”
So no all black shoes except jordan 4?
She is cool AF! Epic episode
Where’s that Puma is an inferior brand energy Welty??? Chump status
BRONX IN THE FRONT.
oh this is the full size run ? wheres trinidad james ?
Joe asks everybody the questions that matter... nobody asks Joe the questions that matter. The curse that is being him. 💔
What happened to Trinidad James
So they just re-branded Full Size Run Show without Trinidad James 🤔
Where is James?
Matt “a la” welty
wearing the Gendos!!!! Sit and learn Children
Big horse girl vibes
She got that horse jockey hat on 😂😂
I personally don't count Puma or Reebok as serious brands that make sneakers. I always find the materials are just such poor quality. They both make a few pairs that do definitely *look* cool, but I just know they're super uncomfortable and will most likely fall apart :/
You could say the same for those cheap GR dunks that people go crazy for, they’re not even comfortable, and the quality is cheap asf. Every brand makes hit or miss products
@@LilLou97 I agree on the dunks, not really a Nike guy myself. But the difference is that yes there are misses, but as you say there are also hits. Puma is just pure misses tbh
Well if you need proof of quality just check LaMelo’s history of injuries 😂
probably just haven't bought the right kind of reeboks or pumas cause. I got both that have great materials they even make premium versions of their models like the Made in Germany Puma's and a lot of the Reebok collabs the leather is pretty good for the price.
“Would you like the large fitted hat or the extra large fitted hat?” 🎩😅
Anyone else miss full size run?...this new podcast is dryer than welty's personality
HOT DIGGITY DOGG
The hat is questionable
Welty tryna make " a la " happen.
ITS BUGGING ME! 😂
@@Duragforever worse than his surf's up dudes!
First
Black Cat 4’s remind me of homeless people and the worst basketball player in my school 🚮
June flirted with Matt a bit, and Matt got shy and awkward.
Bruh that hat is NOT it 😭🙏
Ur under 35 FS.
@wp-theillest1987 it's the same hat ludacris had on the Cam Newton interview
@@wp-theillest1987 Nah, I know this is what they had back then too- shi wasn't it then either
@@wp-theillest1987you must be 10 😂
No topic time skips today?! 👎🏻
Uhhhhh nah
I definitely thought that was missy Elliot
Full size doesn’t exist no more
As a long time watcher of this show, it's apparent that these 3 only focus on certain brands and styles of shoes. Lame and Very lacking. FSR, while was getting long in the tooth, was better.
You can blame that on JLP and his monopoly of sneaker content for complex there are a lot of independant sneaker youtubers if this style doesnt do it for you
I can agree but everyone has certain styles they lean to
@@d.felixphoto2260 true, and I had to make sure I wasn't looking for specific content. This season, they've really been bad at specifically speaking on the stuff they like, completely ignoring some really dope content for sneakers fans...
Not getting independent views here, in every other industry they would need to disclose sponsors and gifts. Filter everything
I'm not quite sure what you would be looking for. They are indeed Nike heavy. But they discuss Salomon, New Balance, Asics, Saucony and have had guests on in recent weeks that discuss other brands such as Reebok and some Puma talk today. Lots of focus on the hype but this is a mainstream channel with a mainstream show so they are going to focus on the mainstream, popular sneakers? They do a bit of deep cuts and deep dives. But I wouldn't expect them to do that all the time.
Joe can’t dress
Her hat is comical.
