16:45 - while i agree with welty that ppl can be sneakerheads by not having hyped shoes, (air max 95, infrared 90, etc) usually that relates to the age group who is 25 years old and up (im 29 years old). the new kids who are into shoes are used to seeing hyped styles due to the social media age. i dont think they're seeing am 95 volts or am 90 infrared or uptempos on their ig feed in the way that sneakerdave (dave whitehead) is.
I've never heard of him until today but he seems super authentic and likeable! especially how he was describing why he picked the silhouette from saucony and wanting to invoke feeling rather than just slapping some colorways/logo on an already hyped silhouette
great episode, don't know much about saucony but listening to jae tips story was great and it's definitely changing my perception of the brand in a good way, an its exciting seeing something new and fresh in the sneaker community
Sometimes Welty just doesn’t know zoom fly and invincible zoom 3 are hella comfy. I’m on my feet sometimes 17 hrs a day on a factory floor and my feet don’t hurt. I’m also a heavier person too. The Zoom Invincible 3 would be equivalent of the hoka and on.
I'm a marathoner, and Saucony is by far the best running shoe on the market. Love saucony, been running in them for years. Glad to see they're getting their flowers.
Brendan can hate on the Tiffany Air Force all he wants 😂, but the shoe sold out, AND it sells for 1,000 plus on the market; that is factually NOT a flop 😂😂😂
I think there's Nike fatigue. We've all been into this brand for the better part of 40 years. We just need to try other brands. We're burned out on Nike
regarding the conversation around the running shoe technology that nike is providing, i believe that if nike wanted to invest more money into advertising their invincible run line, it would skyrocket. if they gave it the same amount of attention as their air jordans and air max’s, the invincible run could be nike’s biggest line. and while they have been running out of models to retro, i could see them going in this direction as their predecessors new balance and adidas have already begun this shift in direction for their sales. the shoe contains a flyknit upper and a full length zoom x uni. they have been the most comfortable nike shoe line the past 3 years for a reason. the only reason why i dont think they’re pushing them out more is because they know in regards to their running shoes everyone wants a leather or mesh upper paired with a chunky sole: a vomero, an air max 95, and other models you guys listed.
10:40 there is no desire to cultivate a personal sneaker style anymore. Everyone is just here to be a part of whatever current sneaker moment is going on. Unfortunately, platforms like this contribute to that ideology.
I'm not a Cortez fan myself. They look narrow on feet and they don't fit right in my opinion. They are cool to look at but on my feet I don't like them.
Don’t buy nothing off his site he does not respond or send yah product it’s been a month still haven’t got it or even answer back Jae tips is a no go sad you can’t suppose yah kind
Every shoe mentioned as a "top 5 legit rotation" example is a shoe that came out 30 years ago. All you can buy today is replicas, even if Nike makes them. Why do y'all care who gets the money cause your plugs in the industry?
I only want Mars Yards because I love the design of the shoe. I did make a similar pair on Nike Creator but they are not the same. I don't have $30K, I don't have brand allegiance to Nike or Tom Sachs, and I don't need validation, I just want a pair of Mars Yards...
@45:00 it shows the Saucony Courageous as being released in 2015 and the Saucony Jazz in 1981 but the Courageous was also from the same period as the Jazz. Respect to Jae Tips really resonated with his Organized Chaos theme that he mentions which is something I have been aware of in art for a while. Respect to the gentlemen as well Mr.LaPuma, Mr.Welty & Mr.Dunne!
Even the term sneakerhead kinda corny…an og collector and person that wears shoes beyond hype sneakers may fall under that term…but to call urself kinda lame
The reason why you don’t see Nike as much is because the hot shoes that come out are so limited and It feels like it’s the same people winning the raffles Everytime besides that your sneakers are beat you can’t wait to enter a raffle for some fire you just go and grab whatever is on the shelf. Price availability and convenience not to mention malls and a lot of stores are going out of business everybody is gonna buy stuff from Amazon writhin the next decade.
Joe I had to share a clip of your shoes on feet, I really like those. Also, love the vibe in the proper shoe name response! Fire! Welty drips hard & B diddy bok boyz
I can't even get GRs most of the time were I live, especially SB dunks. So.. If I want any of them, usually I have to across the waters. I don't feel like I have to have them though.
People confuse the terms hypebeast and sneakerhead a little to much these days. And even they say im a sneakerhead but deep inside they know that aint true
@dun the same thing happened to me with UPS. it was a odd name on the sign. i was so mad. i got my money back. i have a camara set up in front and sent over a video of the time it said it showed up.
Even if there not hyped! £200+ for a pair of GR creps is too much for a lot of ppl. Nike are the worst, pushing the price up. When companies like Adidas & Puma still sell there classics like Shelltops, Pro-models or Suede's are sold for basically the same money around £100. Selling AJ1s for £200 is daylight robbery to say the least! Nike have forgotten who made them creps popular it was poor kids from the projects/council estates that wanted a fly pair of Creps at a low price. 💯
Couldn’t wait for you guys to come back ! Started off right into it ! Infrared 90’s are definitely the correct answer. Such a cool dude man ! Really love the Saucony’s, arguably top 3 of the year ! Amazing path he has been on for real Beautiful episode guys !
Companies could produce more of those shoes that people wants and keep a fair price, but they let the price go insanely overpriced, so they are contributing to the creation of good quality reps market.
Welty, I don't buy sneakers to impress other people or to be a "sneakerhead". I get sneakers because I like the shoes themselves for the artistic expression. Obviously, it is great to get non-hype, classic shoes, but if I want a hype shoe that I know I can never secure or afford, I'm going to buy fakes without thinking. I just don't hold authentic shoes sacred like some people. Plus, I can afford two or three pairs of fakes to even one pair of retail. It just makes sense to me. I've been collecting for over ten years and have over 150 pairs from ~15 different brands, and about half of them are replicas. Have me on the show! I'd love to provide an alternative perspective on the ethics/validity of replicas in today's age.
I really like this podcast, but I have the impression that these guys are losing perspective. Comparing rolex collectors to sneakerheads makes no sense, bear with me. Rolex watches are a luxury item from the outset (design, machinery, materials, manufacturing process, handmade assembly) and that reflects in their retail price. Nike sneakers are not, materials are average, manufacturing is in China/Malaysia/Other asian country, and that is reflected in the retail price. The reason why prices go so high is based on market and demand, not on product quality/characteristics. Based on this, among any other counterfeit products, sneakers are the ones where quality is getting really close to real products (not saying its the same), that does not happen with a rolex. The fact that something is expensive does not mean it’s valuable and Nike backs that with their MSRPs. Finally, I don’t endorse reps but it’s very scary to pay +$1K for a shoe in stockx when there’s no guarantee of authenticity, I’m might just as well go directly to the rep and save $900. Think about it.
I worked at Vans in high school and have 30+ pair of Vans. Do you guys consider Vans sneakers? Is my Vans collection a sneaker collection? Would you guys consider me a sneaker head?
Vans clearly are sneakers but having a Vans collection doesn't make you a sneakerhead just a Vans collector (same goes for any other brand)...without brand diversity you're not a sneakerhead imo
If you had to start your collection with one sneaker, what would it be?
Influenced by Brendan Dunne, I decided to start buying sneakers last year. I started my first collection with 6 Reebok Classics.
Probably some black cement 3s. Classics, and you can wear with almost anything. They’re going to get respect no matter what hood you in
For me personally... Jordan 3 cement, Jordan 3 true blue or Jordan 1 shadow or royal
easy, a grey new balance 574 because its a timeless classic that is easily accessible and affordable. no need to break the bank with a $75 shoe
Grey 990 and done. Comfortable to wear all day and goes with anything you wear
I like what you guys said about starting out as a sneakerhead. Maybe you guys could do a “Best shoe to get for retail RIGHT NOW” segment!?!?!
The fact that the intro song went an extra bar. I’m not sure how to feel about it.🫠
It was weird af
Right. The whole intro was longer.
The sound clips were different on last night’s FSR - and this and that episode look extra HD. BuzzFeed changes if I had to guess…
I liked it made it feel more official
Didn’t feel right
Nike is McDonalds. Massive in size but lower quality. All these micro shoe brands or mid size companies are offering superior product and design
Proud of you Jae. The Synergy was great this episode. JLP and the Gang Keep Crushin it!
ACG apparently stands for Air Conditioning Gear for JLP😆

Didn't know who Jae was before this interview, but he's made a fan out of me!
Jae Tips is just such a good dude. Happy for him and wish him nothing but continued success and happiness.

Stop the “season” stuff for TH-cam shows 😂
I sold my soul for some yeezys Jae tips has come a long way

You can put together some great rotations with non hype sneakers or shoes. If you like them that's all that matters.
I'm a marathoner, and Saucony is by far the best running shoe on the market. Love saucony, been running in them for years. Glad to see they're getting their flowers.

Shoutout Brendan for rockin that Original Pirate Material tee. Great conversation as always
Welty is exactly right about the age demographic.
Super Proud of Jae Tips and love my Sauconys! It should definitely be on the list for one of the shoes of the year!
It’s true. Nike really be stale they need new tech but hey look at what’s coming back the Roshe Run 🥲
regarding the conversation around the running shoe technology that nike is providing, i believe that if nike wanted to invest more money into advertising their invincible run line, it would skyrocket. if they gave it the same amount of attention as their air jordans and air max’s, the invincible run could be nike’s biggest line. and while they have been running out of models to retro, i could see them going in this direction as their predecessors new balance and adidas have already begun this shift in direction for their sales. the shoe contains a flyknit upper and a full length zoom x uni. they have been the most comfortable nike shoe line the past 3 years for a reason. the only reason why i dont think they’re pushing them out more is because they know in regards to their running shoes everyone wants a leather or mesh upper paired with a chunky sole: a vomero, an air max 95, and other models you guys listed.
Shoes fire. In the flowers fantastic
Great conversation with Jae
Why wear fake sneakers when like Matt say there are lots of sneakers out there what is not the hype and you we stand out of the crowd more I think.
Exactly. Its like when guys say they want to look different but get the same haircut as everyone else. Lol
Neon 95s are not cheap
After this episode I'm convinced the Jae Tips collab needs to be my first ever pair of Saucony's. SuperDope
Had to watch and listen to the episode. Gotta support the pod and my guy Jae Tips.
Great interview watched the whole thing and learned a lot perfect
“Who put these muthafuckin shoes in this muthafuckin store‼️⁉️” -Agent Neville Flynn voice 😭
Good to see the boys again
Whats the ugliest shoe nike has ever made?my opinion...nike mayfly woven 🤮🤮🤮❌

Welty a bible thumper, huh, guess I’m not surprised.
If you have to ask how do you become a Sneaker head? You're a Hypebeast.
I feel that there are a lot more middle aged adults wearing Jordan’s and Airmax sneakers in Urban Areas.
Who has the best sneaker collection out of Joe, Welty and Brendan?
Jordan's are sitting and new balance is going crazy so any one can be a so called sneaker head
So Brendan got the package then cause he had the 95's on in FSR
Show ur individual collections.

Why did y’all stop giving away shoes?
Is anyone else hearing weird echos randomly from Dunn's mic in the edit? Lol
These Saucony looks like it was inspired by the Jeremy Scott streetball zebra.
I’m so stoked that they came with season 16 for Full Size Run. FSRMY!!
Any pair of Jordan 4’s
I’m happy Unbreakable got his own kicks, that’s pretty cool
People confuse the terms hypebeast and sneakerhead a little to much these days. And even they say im a sneakerhead but deep inside they know that aint true
@dun the same thing happened to me with UPS. it was a odd name on the sign. i was so mad. i got my money back. i have a camara set up in front and sent over a video of the time it said it showed up.
Now that I leaned the meaning behinds saucony I like that I have a shoe that’s has more meaning/history
Even if there not hyped! £200+ for a pair of GR creps is too much for a lot of ppl. Nike are the worst, pushing the price up.

HOKA gives me bad sketcher vibes. Don’t get it.
Wellty sounds so far out of touch when it comes to buying sneakers
Jae tips 📈😎
Nike joyride was actually a pretty great workout shoe not gonna lie
Still love the Nike react element 87. One of the better silhouettes Nike has released in years imo.
Sams club has a 12 pack of prime for 19.99 Welty
Couldn’t wait for you guys to come back !
Started off right into it !
Infrared 90’s are definitely the correct answer.
Such a cool dude man ! Really love the Saucony’s, arguably top 3 of the year !
Amazing path he has been on for real
Beautiful episode guys !
I feel like the nike react presto is the one Nike shoe for that comfort shoe, I loved em, or maybe the react line in general
Ohhhhh “Flop Ten” I definitely like the sound of that! Please do that at the end of the year!!!
What are those colourful air forces called that are always in the back ?
Colette x Busy P
Nike roshi run
Just cause it’s still available don’t mean we want it bro
Don’t forget he designs fitted hats aswell
The BIGBRONX episode!!! 🔥🔥
Federer shoes worth purchasing?
welty the rotation post was legandary
He has a good story, I wish him much success
🔥🙌🏿🔥
Always enjoy the energy and content.
Welty on the Prime hype.
R.I.P. Virgil 😞 🙏 🕊
Great show. Jae was awesome.
Joe needs to settle down
haaaaland
great episode!!
Decent fakes are as much as the shoe retail. I would never pay so much for fakes. If I dont hit move on.
What's your definition of *fake?
@@Resist_Oppression an imitation.
Not necessarily, you can use an agent and put together a haul. That makes it way cheaper per pair.
Man up Joe
dope episode
Black 🦅🖤
50 = vomero 5
Ha-Ri-toes 😂😂😂😂😂 jarritos !!!
Congrats to Jae Tips! I hope he remember who’s inspired.
Making watches are almost a trade, comparing them to rubber and glue is a reach
True, some watches have state of the art machinery, nothing compared to Nikes.
Companies could produce more of those shoes that people wants and keep a fair price, but they let the price go insanely overpriced, so they are contributing to the creation of good quality reps market.
Shoe of the year!? 😂😂😂 Top5!? 😩😩😂 Man gtfoh!
Got the azura grids in green and blue. I want Venus also. Might get these if I can find for a reasonable price.
