As a sneaker head who has been forced to pay resale for 60% of my collection, I’m praying for any opportunity to cop for retail. Easy to knock on rereleases when you’ve got a wall full of double up kicks I never would have a snowball’s chance in hell of copping without paying a reseller. Must be nice
I have a collection of about 50 pairs. I have only paid resell for 1 pair (clot x air max 1). And i have a grail, gr’s collabs different brands etc. I’m retail only and i’m doing it for about 5 years now. It’s really not THAT hard the past few years to get some awesome shoes for retail. I just don’t get it. I don’t feel forced in any way to pay resell for sneakers, idk why people feel that pressure? If you cannot get it for retail, it’s fine you are not barefooted and you will survive. If you can’t hit for retail than the shoe is just not for you and there is nothing wrong with that.
@@zaiefbijland9109 it is hard to get hands on any "grails"or collabs for retail where I am from. It's possible to get some nice GR releases now that everyone's discretional money has been affected by the economy and the PPP loan hustlers are all dried up. But for 2 years it was near impossible to cop anything and I still haven't hit on SNKRS on 40+ raffles.
I Love these Palomino 1s. They’re a grown up colorway. I copped a couple pairs - won 1 on FLX via Foot Locker and walked into my local JDs and they had some left… but I had to put in the footwork to get ‘em. Labour Day weekend was busy in the malls though up here in Canada.
I've always said that if they dropped 100k of the Paris dunks tomorrow, you'd really find out who loves that shoe or is it all hype. It's a beautiful shoe shoe,don't get me wrong but that completely changes everything. Perfect example is the Raging bull 5s. I know its its not the same thing but a lot of times it comes down to "I have something that most people don't." Lightnings same story. And I love that shoe.
loved the new video dj , I just want to give a big shout-out to u dj and pops love watching ya together ya make us laugh especially pops 🫶🫶 loved that special thing ya have together , god blessed ya 🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Love it how different sneakerheads, including you online guys have absolutely different opinions. You guys love the AJ8s and Chris from Weartesters hates them haha...personally i love the look of them
Your pops is great when you guys do these monthly reviews I coped the palomino 1’s and the Jordan 4 Red Cements already so I’m waiting for SNKRS Day but I’m kinda eyeing the jordan 3 Jay Balvins
100% the Balvin’s over the Luka’s. Love these videos with your pops. Wish I had that kinda relationship with mine. Much love. Still waitin to run into you at Hearth one of these days. Stay up my guy!
only copping the Palominos, J Balvins and the Playoff 8s this month… but i disagree with y’all’s SNKR Day take. no matter how many times they release hype pairs, they’re still gonna be hard to get. to use your analogy, yeah the neighborhood can be full of the same $500K home but when there are exponentially more buyers than homes available, they’re still going to hold their value. hope i can cop the SB4s on SNKR DAY 🤞🏾😎
I knew Mr. DJ would say something when the Tatums were brought up but his joke really got me laughing! Love the back-and-forth between y'all. I also think the Jordan 1 Palimenos will sit, there's just been too many shoes in such a short amount of time. I've copped the Jordan 7 Citrus, Jordan 1 UNC toe, and the Jordan 13 Wolf Grey; love each shoe but I'm drained for money and space for any more releases. I was able to get the UNC toe in Beijing in my size at the local Jordan store and they're already going on sale at other Jordan stores (we don't have a footlocker or finish line, sportswear companies open Jordan stores as a franchise.) They still have the Jordan 1 Spider-verse pair in stock in most sizes 45 and below and the Jordan 1 low black toes in all sizes. I think people are just getting fatigued and being more selective with their purchases. Jordans cost more here in China anyway, a Jordan 1 is ¥1,399 ($192) while other models go for ¥1,599 ($220).
Nah y’all missed me on this one. Been collecting and wearing for decades and always thought the resell hype was stupid. Buy shoes that you like and wear them. If you’re only buying because it’s exclusive, you can’t really call yourself a sneaker guy.
Dj and pops we all want to say thanks for showing and telling us all the air Jordan’s that are releasing in the month of September I am looking forward to some sneakers releasing like 1 . Air Jordan 4s red cement I know the Jordan 1s palomino already released I still haven’t got my hands on those yet 🤦🏻♂️. But I will for sure 💯
The washed blacks bricked on arrival but are now sitting comfortably above retail. I imagine the same thing would go for the palominos, which I'm hoping to cop before I leave the country in a week 😭
I really think I'll be able to get the Jordan 4 Red Cements because so many people are split down the middle about them If I get the W like Pops said I'm getting a nice Tomahawk steak !
I think the new Union is the best one of all the ones they have done. The others barely look like they were collabs. They just look like Jordan 1s with a little splash of something.
The apparel was fire 🔥 and look great on you. You definitely made the fits look great all 3. Great job. The AJ2 is my new favorite dad shoe but these look so oily 😅 against that sail midsole 😮 should have been white. I am gonna pass
The argument of killing the hype and value of a shoe is kinda dumb to me. Screw the hype when the hype is just "this shoe is a hype beasts wet dream that resells for 500+". Then you get the sneaker bot heads buying everything to make a living off reselling something by creating artificial demand is mad annoying. I deadass remember the Tiffany af1 dropping and the same day they dropped they were marked up to 1k on goat. Like who tf is paying 1k for an af1, yall bugging😂. As always tho DNA gang, lit video, these are always my most anticipated from the channel.
I dont care about having things that are exclusive. I want all the shoes that I like. I don’t care about resell value at all, because I’m not going to sell my shoes and I’m not paying above retail.
Everybody that makes money from resale will have a problem with sneaker day. The brand isn’t affected Jordans are Jordans. The customer is not affected there is still a huge limited release market. So I disagree with all your points on this argument.
I don’t get the beef with SNKRS Day. I doubt anything hyped will even drop in massive numbers. Most pairs will probably be under 50k stock. And even if hyped pairs do drop it won’t really detract from the value. Those pairs were already manufactured and Nike is just drip feeding them. They have pairs of every shoe still. Nike did pop ups selling vaulted shoes for retail before. You even showed us DJ.
First of all they won't drop all those hyped shoes. But the thing is it's easy for you to say that you don't want them to drop hype shoes because maybe it's easy for you to get but for most people they don't have 500-1000$ to spend on a 200$ shoe. And that's a problem
11s fit weird on me, left foot is way too tight. 4s for me all day. Like 5 and 1 but 3 are growing on me When the 4 grey cement landed, they were everywhere that week. Kids everywhere made them bait. “Yo, can you clean these”😂😂
The conversation about SNKRS Day makes zero sense. The shoe is not worth $750 or $1000. It’s most likely $180, $210, or $225. Screw the resellers. SNKRS Day and other restocks don’t hurt Nike one bit.
Man I’m not tryna hear that killing the market shit, I’ve wanted every pair of Travis low’s and unfortunately I don’t have thousands of dollars to get even one pair so if one small restock drives the prices down even a bit then thank god
Only y'all hype hypnotized sneaker heads think about exclusivity. Everyone wears Jays. No one thinks oh wow he got those on... everyone does fake or real no one on the streets really cares. To think otherwise is lame. Find your value somewhere else and just enjoy fashion.
This is the first time I really have to disagree with you. I live in Mississippi. We don’t get no exclusive drops down here and to say that a person like me can’t get a chance for the shoe makes me feel like that it’s OK for a reseller to take a vantage of somebody like me, I don’t agree with you I’m kind of happy now nike giving me a chance to get the shoe that I could not get because why should I have to go to a reseller that’s going to sell me a shoe valued at $180 for $400 I don’t get your logic
The problem with the sneakers reselling culture is that a few buy ALL the pairs and then extort the rest of us into paying $100-200 over retail. And they are not even fair when getting these pairs (bots). I'm glad Nike is coming for their money. Let resell culture die so we can all have a fair chance at getting the shoes we want.
That's amazing to shut down the resalers. Idc if you was stupid enough to pay 600 plus for some shoes and they drop more that your fault.. And they never said anyof the shoes were collectables. All of the " fake sneaker head resalers" did that.
Why you guys are salty AF with the re-release On Sept 9 LMAO ... for regular people like me it's great opportunity to get the shoe at a decent prices. If you want to be unique buy/make custom shoe !
They need to drop more rerelease if u paid 500 bucks your a fool anyway but every one should be able to enjoy the shoes they only worth 100 bucks tops anyway they all maid the same
Yea the lineup for SNKRS day is nothing like the pic they been showing with Travis’s and lost and founds. We’re getting like some airmaxs and dunks for SNKRS day🤦🏻♂️ all trash. I been looking forward to SNKRS day for months for absolutely nothing. Leave it to Nike to drop the ball

Y’all are pure comedy. Love the father / son duo! ✊🏾

loved the new video dj , I just want to give a big shout-out to u dj and pops love watching ya together ya make us laugh especially pops 🫶🫶 loved that special thing ya have together , god blessed ya 🙏🏼🙏🏼.
I'm thinking it's a father son collaboration! Best video so far!
6:04 DJ - these are called the “Home Teams”….. DJs dad - “Nawwww these should be the “Go Aways” LMAOOOOOO 😆 😂 😂 6:04
Love the banter between the both of you. Its pure entertainment!
I can see you DJ Rock these 5:06 bc you’re an Oregon green guy, plus AJ6 fan and they’re a clean colorway!
Love the man’s laugh! Thank y’all!
IF they restock a bunch of pairs on SNKRS Day it will most likely be in small numbers so most will get L’s
My thoughts exactly.
I agree, they won't be dropping 100ks pairs of Travis's so it will still hold value.
I'm with Pop's on this one!! Red Cements are 🔥🔥🔥
I remember when the shoes dropped on Wednesday. When I was in school, they changed it to. Saturday to keep the kids from cutting school.💯
Not much dropping but the red cements, however the vibe you and your dad gives so much fun and positive. Thanks for all your work! Keep it up!
Great video!
I hit on the Eastside AJ1s in size 13 on their raffle.
Love it how different sneakerheads, including you online guys have absolutely different opinions. You guys love the AJ8s and Chris from Weartesters hates them haha...personally i love the look of them
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm Doubling Up On The Playoff 8s My Pair From 2007 Crumbled On Me
Man, you are blessed to have that Dad👌
Your pops is great when you guys do these monthly reviews I coped the palomino 1’s and the Jordan 4 Red Cements already so I’m waiting for SNKRS Day but I’m kinda eyeing the jordan 3 Jay Balvins
DJ's Dad's channel is Big Dea for anyone who didn't know (like me who just had to search!)
Glad to see how popular the Palominos are...got a pair in 12.5 for the regular price :)
The j balvin are the best collaboration he's had. They go hard
LoL. He said " see, now you gotta cover up the shoe!". 🤣
Irish Spring with a little bit of Axe, clean it right up! 🤣
100% the Balvin’s over the Luka’s. Love these videos with your pops. Wish I had that kinda relationship with mine. Much love. Still waitin to run into you at Hearth one of these days. Stay up my guy!
Bro....your dad is hilarious! 😂
Love POPS!!!! He crack me up!!!!!
only copping the Palominos, J Balvins and the Playoff 8s this month… but i disagree with y’all’s SNKR Day take. no matter how many times they release hype pairs, they’re still gonna be hard to get. to use your analogy, yeah the neighborhood can be full of the same $500K home but when there are exponentially more buyers than homes available, they’re still going to hold their value. hope i can cop the SB4s on SNKR DAY 🤞🏾😎
The Jordan 4 Red cements are one I been waiting for and your pop is right it's a cop
Dang you guys didn’t mention the air max 1 og big bubble obsidian, that’s a must cop for me, it’s nice to talk about other shoes besides Jordans
Pops is lunchin, those J.B’s go hard.
I knew Mr. DJ would say something when the Tatums were brought up but his joke really got me laughing! Love the back-and-forth between y'all. I also think the Jordan 1 Palimenos will sit, there's just been too many shoes in such a short amount of time. I've copped the Jordan 7 Citrus, Jordan 1 UNC toe, and the Jordan 13 Wolf Grey; love each shoe but I'm drained for money and space for any more releases.
I was able to get the UNC toe in Beijing in my size at the local Jordan store and they're already going on sale at other Jordan stores (we don't have a footlocker or finish line, sportswear companies open Jordan stores as a franchise.)

Pops got me dying 😂😂
Those Black Cement 2s give original Nintendo Entertainment System vibes. Definitely a cop for me.
8 need. 1 of my first Jordan’s!
Nah y’all missed me on this one. Been collecting and wearing for decades and always thought the resell hype was stupid. Buy shoes that you like and wear them. If you’re only buying because it’s exclusive, you can’t really call yourself a sneaker guy.
Must have Jordan 1 especially for the fall
I think you can remove the spikes I seen one of the creators remove them
Dj and pops we all want to say thanks for showing and telling us all the air Jordan’s that are releasing in the month of September I am looking forward to some sneakers releasing like
1 . Air Jordan 4s red cement
I know the Jordan 1s palomino already released I still haven’t got my hands on those yet 🤦🏻♂️. But I will for sure 💯

The j balvins dominate the Luka 2s. Love the videos tho keep putting out the great work.
The washed blacks bricked on arrival but are now sitting comfortably above retail. I imagine the same thing would go for the palominos, which I'm hoping to cop before I leave the country in a week 😭
Hating on the J. Balvin 3s but loving the Red Cement 4s is a kinda crazy take from your dad lol.
Man I must be getting to that age cuz I 100% agree with pops on all these.. 😬😂
I need to chill out this month probably only the 8s for me but we’ll see what happens on SNKRS day 😂😂
I really think I'll be able to get the Jordan 4 Red Cements because so many people are split down the middle about them If I get the W like Pops said I'm getting a nice Tomahawk steak !
I NEED the j balvin 3s. SNKRS sent my balvin 2s in a youth size instead of men’s and I never got my personal pair after I got refunded 😞
Should I cop Travis Olive rn or wait for the 9th ??
I think the new Union is the best one of all the ones they have done. The others barely look like they were collabs. They just look like Jordan 1s with a little splash of something.
LUCA’s 4sho!!! When does the 8’s come out? I wish they were the blue & purp jones tho! SALUTE 🫡
Them J Balvins are a go & I’m there for that podcast especially if it’s some Father/Son sneaker head/ black man culture 👍🏿👏🏿💪🏿 just what I need
I personally copped the polamino 3s n like me more then the balvins 😂😂
Say bro I’m local in Portland, can I come buy a sneaker dept hoodie ?!!
What is your dad’s channel called?
The apparel was fire 🔥 and look great on you. You definitely made the fits look great all 3. Great job. The AJ2 is my new favorite dad shoe but these look so oily 😅 against that sail midsole 😮 should have been white. I am gonna pass
The balvins are a GS shoe. It's literally the definition of a hype shoe
Yeah but the creators of Eastside golf also said so people can feel comfortable
I get not lowering the value. But they not even releasing a good amount of the stock of the top releases shoes.
Balvins over the Lukas all day long 🙌
@DNASHOW_._ I bet you have some scamming ass stuff, no doubt, with your fake account.
The argument of killing the hype and value of a shoe is kinda dumb to me. Screw the hype when the hype is just "this shoe is a hype beasts wet dream that resells for 500+".

do the basketball test😁
Wish I could talk kicks with my Pos😂❤ He only rocks Monarchs😢
I dont care about having things that are exclusive. I want all the shoes that I like. I don’t care about resell value at all, because I’m not going to sell my shoes and I’m not paying above retail.
But what if you did all you foot work to get the shoes and you don’t this gives you another chance why have to get resale
Everybody that makes money from resale will have a problem with sneaker day. The brand isn’t affected Jordans are Jordans. The customer is not affected there is still a huge limited release market. So I disagree with all your points on this argument.

Jordan 1 palomino are mochas 2.0 🚀🚀🚀🚀
I always love the red Jordans and they're cheap homie.
Jbalvin all day but lukas are nice
JB KILLS EM. People just don’t like 2s
So glad no one likes the black cement 2s. Easy cop for me ❤
Why does Nike keep putting the jumpman on the heel of the 4s? STOP IT!
Pops needa stop tryna gatekeep wtf fuck the resale value let the ppl who ain’t rich or super connected get a chance damnnnnn
tomahawk in a jordan 4 is krazy
The Lucas is better the balvin fagi colors
My September Cops:
• Palomino 1’s ✅
• Red Cement 4’s
• Playoff 8’s
Thank god for sneakers day, crash the market!
Resellers do not keep the hype going. You're just gatekeeping.
J balvin all day
Man I’m not tryna hear that killing the market shit, I’ve wanted every pair of Travis low’s and unfortunately I don’t have thousands of dollars to get even one pair so if one small restock drives the prices down even a bit then thank god
Only y'all hype hypnotized sneaker heads think about exclusivity. Everyone wears Jays. No one thinks oh wow he got those on... everyone does fake or real no one on the streets really cares. To think otherwise is lame. Find your value somewhere else and just enjoy fashion.
J Balvins for sure
This is the first time I really have to disagree with you. I live in Mississippi.

W
It sounds like they think they should care about the resellers. Why should they care? They make their money on the front in, not the back.
They're trying to cut a reseller's out that's their whole thing
Y’all seem a lil mad at Nike for trying to wanted sneakers in everybody’s hands and not just the resellers
No, on J. Balvins
The problem with the sneakers reselling culture is that a few buy ALL the pairs and then extort the rest of us into paying $100-200 over retail.
