Mr Jeff Staple's Guide To Collecting Sneakers

For an ostensibly laid-back shoe, the subject of sneakers can be a fraught one. How do you straddle the line between too plain and too bold? Is it safe to wear designer styles if they might get marked? And how does a grown man wear high-tops without looking like Kendall Roy? Thankfully, help is at hand. We’ve enlisted the expert advice of the designer, creative director, and OG sneakerhead Mr Jeff Staple.

I really want the old MrPorter videos back! And more...
These slow, quiet and elegant short movies with a message

[@chrisb9156]

I agree

[@alaedinebenani5715]

Cant agree more

[@3hooks781]

100 precent agree. There are already a million other hype beast channels.

[@nunosantos5376]

How to up your collection, buy the sneakers you like and can afford. Thank you for showing up to my TED talk

[@christianbass370]

HOKA is really reaching a breakthrough. i am so happy to see the legend himself saluting and stamping them and handing those flowers over early in the rise of a true great brand.

[@dominikseljan3043]

Didn’t expect to see Hokas in the video. Nice collection!

[@sammallory]

Collect what you like. No need to take advice from other folks on what you like. Jeff is 100% spot on. Dude is a G.

[@OliverJanShD]

Footwear is amazing! Glad to hear his perspective on sneakers and collecting.

[@rosamente]

I really appreciate the way Mr Staple articulates and explains each type of shoe. I would love to see more content from him

[@Wakaweakweak7474]

got collection before the hype of dunks but needed to sell them for my wife's expenses during birth of my daughter. now since God is great, I am rebuilding my sneaker collection with Vans and got 13 pairs of vans with some limited edition. Can't wait to have more collector's edition Vans shoes

[@emarqz]

I agree 💯 with his choices!

[@DashDrones]

I disagree. Jordans all the way..

[@xrrrismickey]

There's so many guys like this

[@preparetobedazled]

I absolutely agree with what he said about being comfortable in your footwear! If I'm not comfortable in something, I'll rarely ever reach for that item again.

[@neel3696]

Lets Go . I am not the only onw who loves Nike X Sacai. I own the Yin - Yang one.

[@TheWorkzBeatZ]

AF 1 and Converse. My last 2 choices due to comfortability. Gee thanks.

[@mikemaquera2256]

I dig the bike he has at the start of the video

[@williamportillo8720]

This what I’m talking about when is come to sneaker culture, streetwear and music

[@nateratliff3718]

As an insider Jeff should 1000000% know that John Gieger was the og of multiple checks on a shoe. I like the sacai collab, but they definitely didn't do it first.

[@asphodeleus]

He didn’t say Chitose Abe was the first to do it.

[@nateratliff3718]

@@asphodeleus ​ yeah but he did say that Chitose Abe was the only person who could have done something like that.

[@M3tal25GeaR]

what the song at the beginning?

[@user-ml3lk3lr9e]

yes! ???

[@hisnameisnikita527]

The converse paint the laces unfortunately if you wear them heavily....

[@CityZ22]

More video like this please

[@TheSaiyanKing]

1:12 _Every day you have to walk out of your house_
Me and my lazy really disagrees with this.

[@Yaboi713]

awsesome

[@nyrack27]

Anyone know what bike he’s riding?

[@dinosaurthat]

Song on the last part

[@OSCAR-uv9bw]

Anyone knows the BGM?

[@Maxx995]

[@muchobaratodop]

👏

[@yungteach]

PF Flyers < Cons

[@tapiwahashadube3341]

He said as little as a 100 bucks 😪 really need to get out of this place

[@bizniz160]

Thank God he didn’t talk about Yeezys…

[@danielfrancis3660]

Sneakers are meant to be worn not to be stored.

[@celsocosta880]

No Kanye West west sneakers???

[@Bigcircleboyz]

Thought he’s more like a Huang or Chen. Staple got me like….

[@purepalm9078]

There will come a time in the trajectory of a sneaker collector - after a sneaker collector has accumulate a few made in a “first world” nation New Balances what a degenerate and wasteful pursuit collecting sneakers really is.
Be careful what you consoom.

[@CDankies]

Little confused by the wording; Are you saying that after getting, Made In UK/USA NB, that the individual will realize that it quality is far superior than sweat shop manufactured junk?
Because if that’s the case. Yes.

[@Jeffreynelius]

@@CDankies yeah he should retype that

[@RARena-vv7hu]

I could never pull off those shoes properly. Running shoes for style just looks wrong.

[@fikrirazi5017]

Wait I thought he's black

[@franzb69]

seems like this video is a cash grab

[@jubyraj007]

Waste … street or homeless style.. PORTER🤔🤔🤔

[@collins_channel8643]

Dope Video, but these selections were disappointing lol

[@Bad_Gnasher]

This is just embarrassing.

[@jubyraj007]

Other than AF1 the rest is stupid…

[@ChoicelessAwareness]

A sneaker on my feet says everything about who I am ? Jesus, you are really devaluing the human potential.
