 Don't Amazon order me to fucking try it? I'm sick of this shit. Look, man, I'm tired of y'all asking me about these kicks. And look, we just gonna put it all out there right here today, bro. It would kind of black market, would it be, if we didn't have no shoes and nothing? Fax. What hood model you ever went to and they didn't have four shoe store? Fax. Fax. That's the truth. That's the most important of the culture, man. Yo, look, man, I ain't even gonna introduce you, because now it's gonna be hard to get kicks and shit. Because now everybody gonna know who the legit plug is. Bro, just tell them, man. Tell them. Man, look, man, y'all already know what it is, man. It's your boy, Mr. Flight Academy Kicks, man. Labeled as a celebrity sneaker plug, man. You know, it's my god, Carlos, man. You know what I'm saying? Welcome to the 85 South Shore, man. Yo, we got a special guest here today, man. You know what I'm saying? It's my dog, man. You've been on it for real, for real. Fax. Bro, and it's like, you know, I can't even remember how long I've been getting kicks, right? Like 2017. For real, for real. It's been a long time, but look. Because, but that's over a couple hundred pad problems. Yeah, fax. Real, but it's like, man, how did you stay so true to being a legit plug all throughout the years? Because you seen some plugs started out legit and then they flaked off, but man, you didn't turn this shit into a hole in the empire, for real. Yeah, I mean, I think that's perfect because for me, it's more than just selling sneakers. Like it's deeper than the kicks. For me, it's about building the generational wealth and, you know, having a business. I'm very, like, business-minded. You know, coming from the streets, you learn a lot of things in the streets that you can translate to owning a business. So for me, it was just, I didn't want to be looked as a person who just slain shoes out the car. Right. But, you know, I'm actually, like, building the empire because whether you believe it or not, man, sneakers are very important, bro, when it comes to the fit. Especially to a black man. Yeah, it's most definitely, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you're going to pick out your kicks first before you even get your clothes. Yeah. And sometimes when you meet people, you look at their shoes. First for you, you look at their face. Right. So, you know, having sneakers is very important. So, you know, I learned from the mistakes of other people because there's so many people that became sneaker plugs and they started moving up that ladder, man, started being able to sell to celebrities, started making that good money, and then they started getting to them. And they never stuck to their principles or they never stuck to the foundation that they built. You know, one of the first thing in my foundation is building on God, man. So, I believe in always doing business the right way because he always going to bless me. Right. So, it's always deeper than that, man. And I studied the game, man. I learned from the mistakes of other people. And, you know, that what makes me successful. Man, I heard you get ready to open up the whole store. Yes, indeed. Damn. One of many. You're never going to get shit. Nah, man. I'm going to always take care of you, man, because, you know, you took a chance on me when I was starting out in the game, bro, you know, and you gave me the opportunity that I ran away. And you don't put me on with a cup of people, bro. Yeah. Because people will be hitting me out of frustration. You know, though, you've seen those Saturday mornings, bro. My fucking heart be hurting. Hey, man, if you know anybody that can get me, my baby, my sister, my mama, my auntie, we need nine pills. Yeah. We need a five Y all the way up to a 13. But I know a few people that hit me and be like, man, thank you. I really appreciate that, bro. You got them to me. I appreciate you for even doing that for me, man. Man, shit. It's more about, like you said, the love of the game. Mm-hmm. You've been my always trying to make sure that people got, you know, the right information to make the right decisions. You know, sometimes it's a bad thing, too, when you withhold a sneak plug in for them. Because I'm going to tell you, when you do good business, nobody ever want to give you up. So it kind of put, like, a stop to your growth a little bit. Because I got, like, I sell to a lot of celebrities, bro. And they be like, nah, I can't do a shout-out, bro. You all said, because I'm scared. I'm like, listen, take care of me. I'm going to take care of you. But listen, there's some big names out there, bro. I'm telling you, every day you watch TV and you see some jades on somebody's feet, no, I sold some shoes to them. Amen. It's just as serious. Especially at the awards show, man. I'll be like, that's my boy. You know what I'm saying? You just don't know, but that's my guy right there. You feel me? That's how dirty the game is, though, especially when it's like, you remember shit. I remember when motherfuckers could walk in the store and it just, shit, the Jordans was there because they was in your size. Everybody wasn't just able to go buy them out like that. And then the internet came and then the resale game blew up. And then all these apps started popping up. But it's like, man, can't nobody get shit on me. They come from the culture vultures, man. Like, you know, some of us, the OGs who really like the kicks where I always tell people sometimes when you look at a pair of flu games, the flu games mean a little different for some people. Some people, that was their first pair of shoes they got. Some people remember sitting down in front of the TV and watching the game when Jordan wore them. You know what I'm saying? But then you have like the younger generation who just see it as a dollar sign. And they kind of ruin the game a little bit. You know, even with me, I do the YouTube while I review the sneakers. And I always talk about that, man. I was like, you know, the times are changing, but the people that's falling in love with the shoes now is more for the money. They couldn't tell you what was the story behind that shoe. They just know that shoe's going for $500. So they want to get it. So then you run into having to fight those people. You know what I'm saying? So, but I mean, that's why it's good when you got somebody like me, man. The game is just at this point where it's just so stupid right now. The Ben and Jared dunks have sold out. Ninks can't even. Ninks is lactose. You know what I'm saying? The paradox of this shit. And then like dunks back then were like just $60, man. Now you see dunks going for $900, $1100. You know what I'm saying? $700, $800. Like the game, the game changes, man. But you know, you just got to involve with it. You know, I will, I'll be lying if I say the way the game changed didn't help some of us. The way we advanced in life by, you know, taking this avenue. But it definitely changed a lot, man. That's the one thing that scared me about being a sneakerhead though is just thinking I'm going to be 80 years old where the fuck I'm going to find me some flu game 12s, man. Some 13, some cement threes. They're going to come back up. They're going to keep coming out, man. What the fuck though? You think they're going to make us some orthopedic jays? I mean, you got the team, George. When we can't do glaciers, no motive. Everything going to have straps on. I'm clean in this bitch. What the shit? I guess we've been talking shit long enough where you could at least tell them where to fucking hit you, man. Shit. Look, man, look, look, look. Y'all going to hit me on IG, man. Flight Academy. I don't know where I'm looking at, but... Pink Academy. All right, so what? Flight Academy underscore kicks on IG. Like you said, I am opening my first store, man, in Lakeland Mall in Lakeland, Florida. So it's going to be Lakeland Square Mall. Yes, indeed, man. Yes, indeed. So look forward to that. This is the first of many, man. I got a plan, so I don't want to say the cities because, you know, people watching. But, you know, they come in here, so... You know, we just went back on tour, and you can see we got about one-seventeenth of the staff here, so we're going to have to get some... We're going to need some boxes sent. I got you. I'm going to make sure you get your 11 first and then everybody else gets your script. Yeah, bro. DC, he need an ad. She's going to need about an 11. Something like that. He will. Seven. Little boys. Bro. Now, I'm sure everybody's going to drop there, they're requesting all of that shit. You paying for everybody? Uh-uh. Now, I'm going to stay ahead of the game, bro. Bro, what's your favorite joint, Silhouette, though? My favorite joint, just... The original white cement threes. Yeah. That's my shit. They just hit so different. And they go with a lot, too. They didn't just make it feel like you almost about to graduate college. Because those was hitting real hard around, like, when different worlds was new. So you would always see, like, a lot of, like, Khadim Hardison, he always had some threes or fours on. Like, he really was running through the joints before Fresh Prince. Yeah. Like, watching different worlds. Like, Dwayne Wing always had some fresh ass Jays. Martin State first, too. Hell, yeah. Him and, uh, Brian used to kick him every now and then, but Khadim Hardison always handed Jays on different worlds. Wow. Yeah. But Fresh Prince, he wore a lot of Martin. Yeah. Busted a lot of Jays. Martin State first, man. Hell, yeah. So far. You know, it's just so part of the culture and the time that we grew up in. You never gonna have the same impact, you know, to our culture as that you did. Yeah. Just watching them shits come out, because you remember when Mike used to have the new Jays waved before they came out. Like, you watching the game, like, man, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. Then, when them come out. Yeah. He was lacing up Fresh Prince on that night, man. Man, having to go skip school to go get some Jays. Mm-hmm. And I think, like, everything's just kind of coming back because you look at now, the fashion, it's like, back to vintage now. So the things that we're wearing in the 80s, it's coming back to it, man. So, like, you just keep going in the circle. Man. The 80s coming back around. I think it's going to be in the club with Korderoy on, like, a motherfucker. It's that fashion, man. Man. Shit. Carlos Miller here.

Yeah, that's the most expensive one. Well... I'll take some. It's the retro ones, man. You got to get you a pair in the closet, man. Nah, I don't need no pair of shit like that. No, no, no, no, no.

I believe every time you hit me, he already be at the post office. Yeah, I want him. In the cinema, he was there already. But, man, I'm just letting you know from a long time customer, this man does great business. He ain't never failed through. If he say he got it, he got it. You've seen your money and your shit on the way. And that's just how it goes, man. So if you live in one of those cities and you can't never get no shit, you're tired of hitting this app, you're tired of looking like everybody else, man. Hit the legit snicker plug and flat cat in the cakes, man, lose some shit that you can rock and get your confidence back up because, you know, a lot of niggas missed a lot of summers. You got to pull up to the store opening up, man. That's the first one. I got to come the day before because I got to get all the shit I want first. I got him already. Yeah, he be getting the 11th. Man, we going to set it up, man. I'll let you be the first. You was one of the first one to rock with me, man. You sent me the info and I'm in there. First. I'm coming by some of them goddamn Larry Bird's. Who do you think should have had a shoe? Athletes that didn't have a shoe that should have had one. Hmm. Man, uh... So that's a tough one, bro. Because, pretty much, some of all of them got them, they just either went through, like, companies that wasn't that popular. Um... I don't know. I'm trying to think of somebody just, like, off the wall. I don't know. What y'all think? T.O. should have had a shoe. Who you say? I was thinking basketball, yeah. T.O., yeah. Hell, yeah. The Kwame Brown, Air Force One. Whoo! Don't want to hit that. Who? I should have been the ambassador of Black Air Force One. You're right, bro. You're right. Trick Daddy could have definitely had a shoe. At least a Reebok. Yeah, definitely a Reebok. Definitely a Reebok. The Soldier Reeves. Ooh, Soldier Boy. Soldier Boy done did so much for the culture at this point. He needs a Nike. A regular Nike that's in rotation. Like, that evolves. You don't just need to be no one-time shit. You gotta give Soldier Boy credit, man. He gonna give it to himself. Yeah. But you know what's funny with him? He come out every other day. Y'all niggas got me fucked up. Y'all first. But you know, when you go back and look at some of the stuff he's saying, he actually be telling the truth, man. But it's so weird. The nigga then told 95% truth. He might have slipped up and said the wrong shit once or twice. Yeah. But that nigga said, Steve Jobs brought him his iPhone. Ain't a nigga in the world gonna top that? How you gonna top that? Can't. That's a wrap up of that. Steve Jobs was probably sitting there. What do you think, Soldier? Do we have something? Amazing. Soldier likes it. He probably had a bigger influence on the iPhone than we'll ever understand. Cause he was at the beginning of the internet era. What did that was how Steve Jobs used to walk in and talk to the goddamn... all this stuff and then they stand there waiting. He's quiet. I don't know, I've never seen him before. And then next thing you hear is, Soldier boy tell him, hi guys. Hi, welcome to Apple. Bro, that's crazy. That probably was the shit he used to listen to to test how the speakers was gonna sound on them. No, I don't know if you guys know this, but we've done some extensive research but listening to Soldier's boy's music all the way up on an iPhone will really test to see how quality the speakers are. Nope. Look, we got to go back to the drawing board. These didn't pass the crank that test. Soldier needs on iPhone, man. Yep. It needs to be black on, too. It affects. Hell, yeah. And it needs to cost $212 flat out. Why $212? Cause that's a great introductory price. It's good. He give us one sum at $212. Then the next one, they come out. Cause you know he gonna put a bunch of Soldier's boy's shit on there. It's gonna be a place to make beats. It's gonna be a game. It's gonna be a whole bunch of shit that you can't take off. Bro, that's crazy, bro. That's crazy. That'll be hard. Every time you get a text message, that bitch gonna be like, Soldier was dropping a big drink over there. And we fucked with him a long way. That nigga straight out of Mississippi. So he gonna be forever good with me. Yeah, man. He did a lot of shit, groundbreaking. But hell, now you have it, folks. I don't know what else to give you. Cause I done gave you everything. You got me plugged now. I guess I give back to when these got down. Crocs and shit. Love, man. You gonna be good, bro. Man, you don't understand these people. Now, if somebody be mad at you, man, you gave up. I'm telling you, bro, it's a lot of them that don't want to tell nobody about me, man. I didn't told them. It ain't shit else I can do, bro. What's some of the strangers, before we get out here, what's some of the strangers' requests that people have hit you for? You're like, you want them? You know what it is, man. People always just find pictures on the internet and just think every shoe is real. Like, it'd just be like the weirdest shoes, man. I'd be like, I ain't never seen that before. Like, they just Google, they'll put in a color on these shoes. I know I bought some shit that ain't available because I had saw this nigga on... You know how he shit just popped up on his feet? He was just, like, fed up with not being able to get shit, so he just started, like, making his own custom shit. Man, this nigga made some fucking Yeezy Air Maxis. Yeezy Air Maxis? I think me and him the only ones got some. Yeah, what's that? When I tell you these bitches is so cold, I want to... I seen pictures of them. These motherfuckers so cold, I was like, bro, make me a great pair, too. I'm gonna send them to you. I don't know if I seen any before. I might bust them bitches out, but they cold as fuck and the bottom's glow. You gonna wear them out of public? Yeah. Because it's not like they some knockoffs. They just did a custom. Got you, got you, got you. That shit went exactly how I planned it to go. All right, man, y'all stay tuned. The black market is now... open. Flight Academy kicks. Get your shit from here. It's legit. Be out of here.
