 With the legend Seth Fowler. We're out to crib. I'm gonna let you just kind of take me around the room I think we should start over here because this is like your studio set up backdrop. Yeah. Yeah, right? Yeah, yeah, so let's go ahead and get started with the 85s and we'll get into the collection and hear about Everything and how you guys started so I'm excited to hear your journey of sneaker collecting awesome, man Yeah, so the 85s are a recent pickup I actually just grabbed these from a friend who found these in some dude's garage on Facebook marketplace and He like had a legit check he cleaned them up and he sold me for a good price And then I think I bought them for 1100 and then he gave the 1100 back to the dude because the dude had no idea What he had right and it was it was so cool of him and I was like wow that's that's so cool He drove all the way out from I think it was Tennessee and I just give me for a good price And this is a pair. I was one of the bread ones my favorite too. So also tell the people This is a size 13 and we've talked about this. It is. He said the only thing it is He said the only thing is I got to find him up here And then I could potentially get those for him So now I'm on the hunt for a different size and I'm trying to make a finesse and trade and do stuff So maybe one day we'll be able to look back at this footage and see the time when it Okay, so what else you got over here over here. We got the sign off lights by Virgil now This is back. I got these in 2017 when he did the The office hours event so I got lucky Nike I won a raffle on Nike like I had to write an essay about why I love design and my essay got picked And it was like right when I was starting YouTube So I got a chance to meet Virgil and I had he signed him like so it's gets more complicated in that So basically what happened was I go the first day of the event Okay, Virgil has to leave for something and I didn't get my interview I was like, oh no, but I still got to buy shoes and it was a random raffle for the shoes You interviewed him on camera and I didn't let me film it. I got it. I'm on audio Yeah, but um, I interview or I didn't get a chance to interview him the first day Okay, I went to the place where you could buy the shoes is random raffle I got lucky got the ones okay, and then all out of all the ten out of all the ten. Yeah, so I got I got lucky twice Okay, I got lucky twice and then they told me I could come back the next day to interview Virgil I was like dope. So I brought the shoes back because no one else usually what happens you interview them and they got the shoes Yeah, yeah, yeah, I brought the shoes back and he signed me signed him airfowler Which is so he didn't put Virgil was here on there Yeah, airfowler, which is great. I have a picture with him holding them like that's though It's crazy dude It was it was a wild experience and I you know what honestly He's a big reason why my channel took off because I had these shoes like a month for anybody else Drought your view you know yeah, the hype was crazy exactly like the beginning of a new era. Yep, like collaborations It was why and I got to drop the interview that we did together like it was crazy So like that's all dude. I credit Virgil for that so much. So that's what so yeah, man That was that was wild so speaking of that. Okay, so how long were you creating videos before this right here six months? Okay, so you were like literally right at the beginning. Yeah real or that's fire Yeah, these ones also are kind of crazy too because these are the Tokyo fives I won these for free a complex con. Oh, dude, literally here again 2018-2019 2018. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, cuz I went with Hess kicks and he had the Tokyo fives except with the yellow toes the samples And I was like what you were there with Hess. Yeah in 2018. Yeah, and we didn't meet. Yeah. That's crazy Yeah, what? But they made me wear I'm out of the building to yes I was doing this it was um it was that that sneaker company that was owned by Amazon that like I think folded really Was called If maybe he taxes on them though I had to sign a what is it called like I had to do a tax form and then they made me pay pay taxes on the actual value of the Shoes, oh really like I think these were valued like two grand, so I'd pay taxes on two grand, but okay got them for basically It was wild so what made you decide these three shoes for your backdrop in your videos because he's my favorite This is my favorite shoe of all time the Virgil's is like a crazy story You know, I'm never gonna have any experience like I'm assuming I'm never gonna experience like that again Tokyo fives. There's a pop of color. I'll be honest with you. Hmm. And then the rest of stuff. I'm a huge Ravens fan I was about to say so I got the Jonathan Ogden sign ball. Go stealers. Go stealers Oh, I got the I got the Joellen bead ball. I'm a sixer span And then I got the the magic Johnson ball because that was giving me free. That's dope. That's dope Yeah, you got your skate dick up here. Yeah, that's a brand. Yeah Yeah, so me and a coat and my friend a husband we met in college for design and I was doing a lot Like I was into sneakers He was into sneakers. We wanted to create a product and we're like socks are perfect to go great with your sneakers And we make a better sock when it's already out there. We both love sneakers. We want to make socks for sneaker heads That's what we did. So that's tough off guys a brand I just have as many like little subtle pocket things around the office like I have just in case anyone's like, yeah What's that in the video 3d printer? I did. Yeah. Yeah, that's dope. Yeah. Um, but yeah, man That's the that's the backdrop and it'll change here and there depending on the video Like if I'm doing a d-diss review, I'll switch it out and put like a d-diss sneakers air or whatever or a new balance What about over here? We got a couple shoes over here. Yeah, we got a couple just random boxes that I forgot to clean up I feel that we got this the size 12 off whites are here, which I'm doing a challenge where I got 20 bucks Okay, I'm buying my way up to like a stinger collection So this is the newest version that series where I'm buying the entire off-white attend collection Oh, okay, I've been off way more. I could chew that because it's like a whole set to the whole set Yeah from 20 bucks. It could be used this one. I got for I think it was like 299. That's cool So not bad not bad. It's worn in size 12. Have you tried these on before? I haven't okay So I had the pink pair. Yeah, and they just run so small like really the whole size up So I could fit them on size nine It's crazy, it's actually crazy. Okay. Well, we got over here. It's over here a pack. You got the oh, yeah No stuff. So this was like my first big package from Jordan brand dope They they have since stopped sending me stuff, but they didn't use to send me stuff Also, they have new people in different positions in the position. So that's fair every couple years Like you got to be in contact with all these new people. It's a whole process. You know, hey, I'm blessed anyway I'm not even you know, I get it at the end of the day. They weren't gonna send me this stuff I wanted to review anyway, so Yeah, dude, that's crazy. Yeah, I never wore it. There was like a shirt in here, too And then we got yeah, right? Yeah, you can have it if you want. No, no, no, you're good It's literally just collecting dust in there But we got we got the 32 the Gatorade 32's and then we got the sixes, but I actually wore the sixes a couple times They're okay, okay, and that to the outsole got a couple of times. Yeah That's dope, yeah, but that's I remember whenever this is like when I was getting started with YouTube Yeah, I was like seeing like everybody in this pack. I'm like, bro. What's going on? I need this back This is so crazy. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, we still got it in this video about like four million views 32,000 This is the this is the gaming setup This is purely because my wife won't let me have this anywhere else Okay, so we got the retro gaming setup, you know, I'm a 90s kid I had to get the n64 had to get the super Nintendo sir I don't mess around my game. I don't play much, but I like collecting it like you got to get back on the Wii Bro, I don't I'm regret getting rid of mine got the Wii got the Wii U. I've never played the Wii U But I got the Wii. Okay, I got two Gamecubes a lot of this was like I was watching a lot of YouTube channels that do like retro gaming and they do a lot of um yard sailing Okay, and I was already yard sailing for the $20 sneaker collection. Yeah, I started finding stuff and I was like, yo I'm putting it together. Yeah, exactly. I feel like a lot of this is like this was free A lot of this is stuff that I found at yard sales. Actually this one I did spend money on but like a lot of other stuff Yeah, that's fire. All right, let's get into something. Yeah. Yeah over here on this side. Yeah. Yeah You want to start here? Sure. Whatever you want to do. Cool Yeah, these are all a lot of these are sneakers that I got in for videos from like brands like champion Just sent me this this one's crazy because I found this at a thrift store. This is actually a PE from the Jordan brand classic Okay, I think it's a size. I thought I said it looked like a 16 18. I think you're right. I think it's 17 Yeah, that's been worn dude. I so I forget. This is so bad. I forgot the player who wore this Okay, but they won the championship with North Carolina. Okay, but then they didn't go to the NBA Okay, but yeah, I found him on Instagram site I was like who's the only size 17 because there was an east and a west color shoe So I think the east was um or the west was red east was black Yeah, um and I was trying to find the only size 17 players on the on the east and there was two So I mess just both of them and the one guy got back to me. It's like yeah, it's probably mine Cuz I don't have many more. I was like dope. I got for 10 bucks, too. It's crazy. What's crazy Yeah, dude You got some rockers down here. Yeah, I got some rockers down here. Yeah, we got the Raven shoes We got the Ravens dunks. Oh, yeah, I got them on clearance for 88 bucks. Okay, Nike. I'll let my size up We got the threes got a rock the three Easy to rock. What's your favorite classics to rock right now favorite classics to rock honestly I've been rocking the supreme phone posits a lot. Actually, okay for whatever reason. I don't know why I'm doing backer fives a little bit. I didn't honestly I didn't even mean to leave these open, but that's what's been happening as before and then the where they at the shoot Well, the whites man threes they're in here somewhere. Oh, yeah, the rematch. Oh, they're on the other side But yeah, the reimagined threes. Okay. Yeah, let's uh, let's get started with this side Yeah, we're just kind of work our way over let's do it You can kind of hit me with some stories and stuff. So you want to go with the air max's first? Yeah, these are the pot of air max is right here now one thing I've had a lot of people say about my channel is that like I have a lot of new sneakers and the reason for that is because I wrote in my collection a lot Yeah, like I don't really hold onto stuff because at the end of the day Like I'm trying to wear everything that I have and if it's pair of sneakers It's too old or I don't care about anymore I usually get rid of right unless it's like a crazy grail I don't have like a lot of like older stuff. So I think the oldest Stuff that I have on this side that I wear is probably it's not the supreme to something Maybe no, these are from what 2011 the supreme Um, I said the door maker in the supreme kind of came around the same time 2011, right? Yeah, I have the the supreme flying at once Crazy crazy. I've worn these a good amount. These are dope. That's man. You always need a comfy shoe You got a comfy fly shoe in the collection. I agree and no one knows what these are too. So you guys are anyway I know Okay, so the pot is tell me tell me about the grinch is this the first retro or the first No, this is retro. This is retro. So I was one of the grinch is okay I was one of the grinch is I actually I didn't wait in line when they drop But I was trying to inform online. Okay when they drop. I obviously didn't get them So to get them again I think I paid resale for these like resale for these sorry Um, I think it was like 400 or 500 at the time. Yeah, I was telling people. I'm like, they're gonna go up Yeah, I go up. It's crazy to get them now and then next thing, you know, that was not a shoe just like that I know I should have gone up to a size not a nap though. They're old. Yeah, but I don't ball on them obviously Actually, I had to get my reverse crunch in the 14 so those like these things is tight. Yeah, I tried the 13 I was like, it's not working at all Um, okay. What else you got over here? We got the 30s. This is the first shoe I ever reviewed on the channel This was starting. This is what started not this exact pair But I bought this one. I hit a million subscribers because I was like, yo, I gotta have this shoe This is all she kind of sucked but like That's a decent ball. You shot you review this I reviewed it and we're turned it to footlocker the next turn it just to make the review just to make the review And then I re-bought it bought it back. Yep. That's dope not the same exact one, but right these are like 300 dollars now There's like no better than many more. It's crazy. I've been telling the same thing I tell people the high number Jordans. Yeah, I noticed that too like nobody wrestled them And then like everybody I want them to get them and then like a couple years later, they're all like expensive I mean like 300 is not like crazy expensive at the same time like that's a lot for those shoes You know what I'm saying because everyone wears them. Yeah, they don't think about it. Yeah People just be like looping them. Actually, it's ridiculous. We got the uh, we got the shans. Okay Decent pair how'd this go for you when it comes to the release or the raffles and all the situation Did you actually vote for this shoe? No, I didn't during this No, I didn't I voted for the atmos Yeah, the atmos. No, it was that was the year after the atmos So yeah, I did vote for the atmos. I didn't get them for each other these ones Um, I either didn't vote or I voted for one of the other options. I don't remember what it was I swear there was a shoe that was cooler like a vapor max bother probably was yeah Because I was running the vapor maxes were just coming out too. Yeah, that was crazy But I was dude So I was living in new york when this dropped and I was running around like every sneaker store to try and grab These I was going everywhere, but like there's this thing in new york called the loop It's like a group of resellers and you don't have a shot if you're not like friends with them Exactly or you win a raffle. I didn't I didn't win anything. So you're still not friends with the loop. No, they're cool I don't have a problem with the loop. We love y'all man. Show us some love But dude like yeah, they don't they don't really they don't really mess with me So I never got a chance to get any shoes for each other. I didn't win a raffle for so I feel that these guys So also like you were talking about earlier. I was just thinking about that Let him know too. Like you create youtube videos Which means like like you said rotating and all the different things exactly you're touching a lot of shoes You're reviewing a lot of shoes. You're like, I can't keep all this stuff We have to go through this thing where it's like people assume that we have to keep every single thing that we review That's like, bro Sometimes there's shoes that you don't want to keep but you know, it's a good review It's like I'm interested in it, but I don't want to really keep it Exactly. I just want to talk about it like yep. So yep, how do you uh, how do you make that decision of like I'm keeping this one. This one's for the long haul or whatever. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's it's tough It's like it's really just the stuff that I find myself wearing a lot Like and that's something that I've dealt with especially in the beginning with youtube Like I've been a sneakerhead for years before I started doing youtube But like dealing with a lot of a lot of people saying like oh, you don't have you don't have an old collection Like you're not a real sneakerhead, which is like I don't care what people think but you know, it does get to you Every so often. So like I had to get past that once I got past that I'm like I'm literally just gonna keep what I wear and what I like right So I do I could have like four or five hundred pairs of sneakers in the collection Probably more but it's just it's insane like I live in like a normal to average small sized house Like I don't room for that like this is a tiny bedroom like this is the space that I got I have a wife, you know, like I can't just be having sneakers everywhere. So I don't know so I literally just keep what I like so a lot of this is like Just I mean shoot like the almond one year threes I get that they're hype, but I wear these all the time Yeah, these are crazy. That's all I say. I was just thinking too. I'm like, yeah, you got some hype stuff But also you got some normal stuff in here. It's a nice mixture. It's not just like crazy I gotta have all the heat and I'm not keeping those or whatever it is. Exactly. I like that Talk about these playoff ace. We're all the playoff ace So this is the pair from the the $20 sneaker collection So last year I was doing a series where I had 20 bucks bought my way up to the entire jordan clock Which is actually over there. Okay. I was trying to build that clock based off of um, all the og air jordan colorways From one to 12. Okay. And so this is the one side of the pair p8. I got these. I think on um I think it was it must have been ebay because they got the little tag right there. Was it the first year you got No, the first one I got was the shoot. I think I might have been the 11th at the bread 11th At a thrift store too. It's crazy. Um, but this is one of the pairs like I've got for one of the sides of the pair I've got a couple other like singles here from you know Because the other side's on the clock like this one's from yeah, what's from ebay? I think half of the clock I found like in a thrift store after that. I had to save up money and then buy You know from ebay or go okay. Okay. Yeah dope. Yeah So how does that try to process go like are you finding other stuff flipping it and then using the money to get that And then like restarting each time exactly. Yeah, so you got $20 to start each shoe Yeah, well, usually what it is I have $20 to start I I'd save up like 300 bucks buy a shoe and then whatever I've left over and then just roll it Exactly. Yeah, okay, but I try and make it as like legit as possible Like yeah, like there's a lot of trade-up challenges on youtube that honestly are faster and probably more exciting than mine But like mine is literally like i'm buying a shoe because it doesn't sell on ebay. Exactly. And so it takes years Dude, this is my third season. I've been doing this for like four or five years. It's crazy. Okay. It's nuts That makes sense. Um, dude like 50 episodes and it's it's crazy Uh, I probably could have gotten a lot more subs if I had made it more interesting, but I'm trying to be real with it So Okay, what else we got? Okay, I've seen it 11s and 12s down here. Oh, yeah. I've got the 11s 12 from the series We got the fillies dunks right here. Oh, okay. Daily shoe daily shoe especially in Philly You got to everybody rocking a Philly gear out here. Exactly. Exactly. Well, I'm from baltimore originally But I when I moved to feel like I was always a Sixers fan But when I moved to Philly like I didn't I didn't care about the Orioles that much like once cal ripkin left I was like, I'm over it. So that yeah So so I was like, you know what I'll just bandwagon Whatever baseball team is in the city that I live in so I got to go shouldn't have admitted that but Okay, so you got the off-white dunks for the first set. Yep. Yep. Uh, what made you choose this color? Or was it like this is the only option you had at the time. So this was actually given to me Okay, so there's a sneaker collector in the philippines called big boy chang He actually gave me the supreme that we talked about he gave me these shoes every I went two times He gave me a pair of shoes each time which is crazy. So he gave me these and I love them Y'all wearing the same size. No, no, I think oh, okay. Oh, yeah, it's crazy. He's yeah, he's nuts, dude His collection is ridiculous. That's what's up. Yeah. Okay concords. Tell me about the car. Oh, yeah These ones are actually gifted me by Jordan brand. Okay Like Jordan brand actually gave me gave these to me when I was still living in New York at a Jordan event What year was this? 2019 2017 I thought yeah, I think 2017 because 2019 was the bread 2018 was the cool grace I remember maybe this is 28. No, I don't I don't remember honestly. It was like five years. Yeah six years ago It might have been longer or lucky. I don't know the problem. So here's I love 11. So 11 is like one of my favorite silhouettes the bread 11 is like one of my favorite shoes of all time But nowadays they're tough to rock man. Yeah, they're not as easy to wear anymore So like I love these shoes and I've had more like a bunch pairs in the past But I just can't rock them as easily especially with what I wear now. So yeah, I'm like sweats all the time So for me, I'm like, I'll just be throwing them all with sweats and that makes sense. It makes sense. So that's like That's my go-to. It's a dope. It's like One of my favorite shoes of all time, but harder for me to rock like I've been rocking things like the Atmos Yeah, this is easy. Wait, which one is this a Jordan Brown one? This is the 2017 one. No, this is not from the three pack This is yeah, this is just this one. I got at um Where did I get? Oh, I bought this on uh Shoot, I think I just bought it for resale recently. My friend asked me went to uh, we went to japan like last year Okay, I found a pair in a thrift store for 500 bucks. That's cool. It's crazy And that's actually where I found these guys too But oh yeah, by the way, tell them how much these normally are worth so they can understand Like 800. Yeah, okay. Yeah, um, but apparently so I didn't realize there's this whole Like thing in japan where thrift stores legit check their sneakers and they won't sell you Like they're as bad as fakes are in the u.s. Like japan is like totally against yeah They'll be like that here local or not locally but back home or whatever like i'll see that yeah And i'm like, bro, why'd I got the fakes over here? Yeah, they're like serious about that over there. They're serious dude. They're serious and even still like I still legit check these I took them to stores to ask but like I found these for 300 In a thrift store with a box in my size in japan, which is crazy. That's fine. Like this is a grail Box with the box, dude. That's nice level right there. It was nuts. Oh, what else we got over here We got these are samples these storm beckers. Okay. Yeah, these are samples I don't have the box or anything or even the flashlight anymore But this is my this is my favorite pair of dorm beckers ever like the threes are dealt to I love threes are my second favorite Really, but these are these are up there. Okay top five dorm beckers fives threes um The the original ones those those like top 10 ones are crazy. Oh, I think I just like oh, yeah That's uncountable. That's a cheat. Oh, that's a cheat Of shoot the twos the fours. I think the two I think I like the two is better than the fours Let's go with fives threes twos Four's And then the original ones the original ones. That's a solid line up. You got some of the sixes in there I'm not really. I mean, I don't know if you've seen it, but I don't really have any sixes Like I don't really like you hurt my soul right now. Well, they hurt my ankles. That's the problem I feel that uh, what else we got over here off y5. How did this go? These are dude. These are more comfortable than regular fives. I was in vegas when these came out And I hit on sneakers up and I was so happy bro. Oh my gosh. I was so happy I've never hit a travis or an off-white shoe ever on sneakers. I don't know what it is My luck is hot when it comes to travis and off-white. I didn't got like a lot of those for retail That's crazy. Like it's actually crazy. That's really that's like I'm pretty frustrated But you know what I'm also frustrated about these right here. Yes, because they have been alluding me I'm at 13. So, you know the struggle is real. They'd be taxing. You sell some of those retail off lice No, these are crazy I did this is one of those shoes like I wanted one of the uh one of the lobsters And this just was the pair that like came out at the time where I was like, you know, I'm finally gonna get a pair of lobsters Okay, so I got these and the blue laces look crazy. So do you be skating? No, never before I've done I was one of those kids that like when I was 13 like I had a skateboard I could ollie That was it everybody had to ollie. That was the only trick in their book And I was like, dude, I skate all the time, bro. It's crazy I did that is funny. Okay. Um What else man, we gotta cover all this stuff over here. Yeah, we got we got prestos This is I bought this pair right what actually I think I might have done a deal with stockx back in the day for Like a sponsorship in in exchange for these but like I got these like Probably two or three months after the original off-white ones. Um, like I said the channel took off So so is it safe to say that everybody said this was the best off-white shoe Do you remember that I do remember that I still kind of feel some people think that way It's comfy. It's really I'm kind of like These in the chicagos is like the great debate. Exactly, but it's funny because I remember when these was coming out like Everybody wanted these more than these was going for more than I know it was crazy I should have bought another pair of chicagos I'm so mad about it because I can't wear those anymore. Like it sounds like such like a first world problem I can't wear those So like I want to have a pair to rock but uh, but dude, I've been I've rocked these like crazy Probably like in uh, I would say in hundreds of times and somehow they're still look good. It's great It's nuts. Like I do clean them up with dude. They're they're nuts. They're nuts So presto is like one of my favorite like comfy shoes. Oh really? So I had like presto's back in the day right and obviously like when these came out. I was hyped about it But yeah, I'll be like making them all Nike ID. Yeah, I got like a bunch of different colors Like I love presto's rough. That's awesome. That's my jam right there off-white twos off-white twos. Yep. I I bought these like It was literally like the day before Virgil passed It was crazy. I just wanted them and and I was like no way and then It do the price on these skyrocketed and I was like, that's wild like literally I think I bought them for like 600 and then the price like jumps like 1200 and now it's back down But like yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, that was that was a wild time. It really was man. It really was I got I just picked these up recently. I think I just paid resale for these we got the Okay, okay, so my hard part you've been wearing them That's what I was about to say. I had so I hit these on sneakers up really and the white ones The front of ten and I had them on right and I'm like, bro, it just don't feel good on my foot Like it's not comfortable at all And I ended up getting rid of them and I knew like there's gonna yellow Yeah, no these have yellow pretty bad too Like and that's I didn't even add this like this like asphalt stuff or whatever it is going on the midsole Or the outsole, but yeah, I've been wearing it. Yeah, so they're so comfy to rock I mean or decent I'm like, okay, you got Blacksmith 3 Blacksmith 3. Oh, bro. What do you think about the um Blacksmith's coming out again. I think they're gonna do something stupid like make it suede or something like that Bro, but okay. The original sample was that suede one. I know and it was fire. I've seen those before They're fire bro. See like dude. I love my leather man. I like I love I love I'm so used to seeing shoes that I've like seen my entire life and just be used to them like looking at Oh, jeez. Yeah, exactly. So it's like when when they change things up on some shoes like the the bread forest like they're fine But they're not the bread forest, you know, like they are but they're not So I can't think of them like that. So like this is my favorite Air Jordan 3 of all time The Blacksmith 3 is Westman 3 is a close second, but like seeing these in suede I still buy it. Yeah, I buy a couple pairs, but like I just I'm I'm very excited for them to bring that that 88 cut back. Yeah Get rid of this puffy ankle. True. True. True the boxy toe out of the way Yep, and it's very interesting to everybody's pair yellows on the front.
