Its always dope learning first hand experience from the people who actually pursued their passion! Dope video and even better series, Complex putting work in 💯
The interviews with Todd McFarlane, Bobby Hundreds, Kaws, and this are so awesome. They all resonated with me deeply and got me motivated. Thanks for this Noah!
There is nothing like discovering a good product that is really unique. Even better to then discover the person behind it is genuine. Nothing but admiration for this company, with respect for his risk and credibility. Thank you. - Reid
This was TOP NOTCH.. People forget the 90s and early 2000s everybody had a shot at making it! Even drug dealers! Hip-hop was the soundtrack for that era! We were all kids trying to find our way and we bonded through our journey!
The stock crash effected everyone. Everyone before that was making money. Im guessing you gonna say he stole the plot of "Wolf of wall street" also. Why is there always a dick head that never believe the story when the result is in front of your eyes.
I like his honesty, is the first "public figure" that says things as it is, more than his own talent and creativity, the knows "the right people" and he moves in the "right" circle, that with his talent and creativity made him successful
Noah Callahan-Bever, nice interview style I enjoy it. Inspirational to see Jon Buscemi's rise, shows that with the right network and determination, and a bit of luck, one can change the world.
I just started restoring and customizing sneakers. My goal is my own store in my home town of Manchester NH. A Harley accident inspired me to follow my dreams. I am. Lets Go!!!
I'm not gonna lie, I always thought the shoes were very vulgar, and kinda gaudy, but he as a person is extremely respectable and after hearing the whole design process, the mantra, and how much he genuinely believes in his products, it kinda makes me want to hunt down a pair in a colourway that i would actually like even though my personal style is more tech/athletic sneakers. A pair of 100MM would be a good contrast in my collection to Y-3s.
I had kind of figured something along those lines is what went down. Thanks for the reply, Noah; I appreciate you taking the time. Keep up the good work. This is a great series, and the way you're able to guide people through their story as an interviewer is top-shelf.
I was str8 & everyone around me was str8 sooo..... Now I'm good His story is almost a little hard but those opportunities were Diamonds being handed to you
LV only did it because they saw anything with a supreme logo on it would draw the attention and resell market. Even if it would look tacy they was going to do it and..it work out for them. All their item was sold out
NomadicEmcee But this guy was actually lucky... it’s the same thing with KAWS he just happened to know the right people, had some money to back him up, same with Ronnie Fieg, etc.
@@micharel937 yeah im not knocking his hustle not his fault he had people in his corner but its not like someone like me with 0 connections and immigrant parents can really use any thing from this as a blueprint
haha I have those Gourmet kicks brand new modeled after the 7 size 10.5 if anybody interested. I was about to donate them because I couldn't sell locally. They ran kind of small for me.
is this fungoogatz related to Steve Buscemi the actor? I knew a few Brooklyn boys who never went to college and worked on Wall Street. Total scam. Still is... duh. hence the crash of 2008. I dont really get how hip hop informs a $900 shoe. This guy is a genius for sure, and the interviewer wishes he was him.
I enjoyed it until y’all let him say what hip hop is at the end. It’s not just getting money and trying to outdo the next man. Maybe he is the culture vulture and is appropriating us 🤔
Hold on, hip hop is the embodiment of macho competition- while the rest of society is trying to be as PC as possible, hip hop still lives within its bubble of being as politically incorrect as possible. How can you say otherwise that Hip Hop is not about competition when you look at the lyrics for the vast majority of songs out there. I mean what other industry involves people shooting each other over beef? You may say hip hop is not that, but materialism and competition are definitely cornerstones of the culture whether you like it or not.

Step 1: Have a friend on Wall Street.
blueprint should drop more frequently not gonna lie. great series
its about who you know and how hard youre willing to work wto make sure those connections go the distance. this guy is living proof. great story

Found this channel few days ago & this is something! Thank You guys a lot!
Smart man.
I enjoyed this interview immensely.
I’m learning so much from this Blueprint series. Please keep them coming.
I don't know how I'm only just discovering this series, but it's marvelous.
This was TOP NOTCH.. People forget the 90s and early 2000s everybody had a shot at making it! Even drug dealers! Hip-hop was the soundtrack for that era! We were all kids trying to find our way and we bonded through our journey!
Geez!!! I love these interviews, I like looking into their perspectives/mindsets!! Thank you for doing this, Complex!🙏
I'm gonna do something great with my life and be right on here talking to Noah. Watch.
Word #newage
i believe in you just go make that shit happen
Love it 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank god got nothin but positive responses!!!! Was totally expecting nothing but shit talking negative garbage
Do it baby
That story about Wall Street sounds like the plot from the movie "Boiler Room"
yeah it feels a little unrealistic
The stock crash effected everyone. Everyone before that was making money. Im guessing you gonna say he stole the plot of "Wolf of wall street" also. Why is there always a dick head that never believe the story when the result is in front of your eyes.
From the friend pulling up in the Ferrari to the "interview" at the shady Wall Street job.
Get nigo on this shit!
What a great interview guys. Only come across it now. Cheers
The key to competing is like he said be connected to the culture. If YOUR PRODUCT IS GOOD THEN YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL.
I like Jon's attitude, i love the underdog
Very nice informative interview love to see how creative smart minds work..just grind & believe 👍it sounds like that anything is possible.
I like his honesty, is the first "public figure" that says things as it is, more than his own talent and creativity, the knows "the right people" and he moves in the "right" circle, that with his talent and creativity made him successful

Good interviewer, loved this interview!
Love that Dave Matthews band poster!!! Right in the cut!!
Best series on Complex.
The only Buscemi we acknowledge is Steve
Talk for yourself who "we"? wanna be popular and down clown
Jose Sandoval the funny thing is the host looks a bit like steve😂
@TN MUSIC you must be fun at parties
That’s his cousin
They share the same sir name so you are acknowledging the same grandfather!!! LOL
Yes!! Back on form with the caliber of guessed you have got this time, great episode!
Complex BLUEPRINT should is 100% TV content, i am inlove with the sereies
Very inspiring series great interviewing of the subjects.Keep it up.
This interview was actually amazing and the interviewer was so articulate and well spoken. Good job!
Noah gonna be on Blueprint season 10 being the one interviewed. Dope series.
These blueprints be the most inspirational to kick a person in the ass n say I can create!!💯💯💯🚀🚀
That Dave Matthews print is everything
I just started restoring and customizing sneakers. My goal is my own store in my home town of Manchester NH. A Harley accident inspired me to follow my dreams. I am. Lets Go!!!
charles digloria ....be wise. There is nothing good enough to bring a sneaker head to Manchester NH. There is no prominent fashion culture there.
Dude looks like a White Suge Knight lmao
dont compliment the rich herb
Great vid 👍🏽.. Bang💥Bang💥

I wanna know what happened with Jon and Greats and why it didn't come up at all in this piece. Aside from that, great interview and great story.
I had kind of figured something along those lines is what went down. Thanks for the reply, Noah; I appreciate you taking the time. Keep up the good work. This is a great series, and the way you're able to guide people through their story as an interviewer is top-shelf.
I was str8 & everyone around me was str8 sooo..... Now I'm good
His story is almost a little hard but those opportunities were Diamonds being handed to you
I still have a DQM snap back I copped in NY like 8 years ago
6:10 my nigga looks like Suge Knight 😂
Rhaize lol facts
Call him ‘White Sugar Knight’
inspiring 🙌💯🌊
I'm watching this in 2021, over 4 years from when this first aired. Neiman Marcus sells men's 100 mm hi tops for $ 898.00
Names of the shoes had me 🤣🤣
Yeah like the air Jon. It’s just a high end version of the Jordan 1🤦🏼♂️
Why the fuck supreme collab with LV, they should have done the Lux shit with Jon man. He’s from skate culture support that dude would be my thoughts.
LV only did it because they saw anything with a supreme logo on it would draw the attention and resell market. Even if it would look tacy they was going to do it and..it work out for them. All their item was sold out
The resale on the 100MM is not great. I've been trying to sell my pair for the last 3 years.
I doubt any of these people know about Dave Matthews good ole 90s tunes!!
And do the LAmbo MAtador. Out a Jordans 2 and Picasso´s Guernica
All young people should watch this. More valuable than what’s being taught in schools.
Great story
Lol this ain a blueprint this is called being lucky growing up in the right spot
how many fools grew up in the same spot and can't get it rolling?
No such thing as being lucky your WHOLE life, bro. You have to grind and be smart enough to capitalize.
NomadicEmcee But this guy was actually lucky... it’s the same thing with KAWS he just happened to know the right people, had some money to back him up, same with Ronnie Fieg, etc.
@@micharel937 yeah im not knocking his hustle not his fault he had people in his corner but its not like someone like me with 0 connections and immigrant parents can really use any thing from this as a blueprint
haha I have those Gourmet kicks brand new modeled after the 7 size 10.5 if anybody interested. I was about to donate them because I couldn't sell locally. They ran kind of small for me.
Still got em?
Best fucking episode!
Thanks!
So he de-constructed Nike and got sued..Then he de-constructed Birkin bag and no law suit?? Did he get their permission?
I like the af1 low version
Funny i actually have the pairs the he was sued for! Sneaker and culture history is amazing! S/O to all sneaker enthusiasts worldwide 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
When I make it, it'd be an honor to be interviewed by noah

Was with you till you said 'Short interval management'
thats hip hop to him hip hop means something different to everyone
i thought the same thing!
