Hes so humble and its cool how he showed his collection and expressed his feelings!! Yeezys were and still are amazing!! Sad that its all over
It’s not over, it’s overing! That over has been happening for more than a year now, yet month after month there have been Yeezy drops.
@@Hengel_Andrews ye still dropping yzy but not under adidas anymore so the og yeezy shoes wont be returning. hes slowly reinventing yzy tho, also very affordable prices its crazy
@@Hengel_AndrewsIt’s over bro. Yeezys been dying since 2019. The whole adidas vs ye thing made it have no chance to succeed
I will wear my Wyoming orange long sleeve and my vintage Yeezus rock shirt any day with some qntm ophanis or foam runners. I need those white foams in his collection 😩
Whether you think YZYs are dead or wear foam runners every day like myself, you can't even front that Dude's Got Some Heat! And alot of Yeezy still selling & Doin#s
Damn that David Bowie story about the Belugas is crazy never knew that
Makes me mad I sold mine lol
Glad I copy it and still having it till date.
I’ve still got mine. At least you didn’t sell your MF doom dunks for a pair of Muay Thai shorts cos you didn’t like them much back then
@@DGD355no man 😭
@@gmproduction7953 Kills me every day bro
Mannnnn what a time. This era was one of the greatest in recent sneaker history...at least IMO.
facts. all new silhouettes too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think people don't realize the true significance of doing something like this with Wex. There probably will never be another moment in history like this. You don't ever see someone who was close to MJ that designed his shoes doing videos like this or telling stories about the ups and downs of such an amazing journey. I'm sure getting any stories out of MJ or seeing his closet of samples & such is probably just as unheard of. I really appreciate Wex taking the time to do this. One of a kind.
Tinker Hatfield has done numerous what’re you talking about
@@gotham2krazyyea lmao that mf just yappin away wrong as hell
There’s an entire hour long Netflix documentary with Tinker Hatfield breaking down designing the air max line and Jordan line that goes into way more detail than this video. Obviously it’s a great video but you have no idea what you’re talking about
500s are criminally underrated. Look great with anything, any season and very comfortable.
Facts! I still wear my Taupe Light to this day!
Good hoop shoe too
it almost like brother wanted to break down, going through memory lane & seeing pics of him and ye look so happy creating history 🔥💪🏾
Yeezy was the only sneaker company innovating. Now we are stuck in a era of archival re-releases, nike releasing old shoes and old colourways and new balance releasing old colourways with new collabs. I miss Yeezy and I will continue to wear them daily. Also Yeezy Slides are the best slides on the planet. I don't think I'll ever stop wearing them
I really wish that they had gotten to keep going with the weird experimental stuff Yeezy was doing towards the end with the knit rnr boots and nsltd boots. I know they had to have some crazy stuff cooking :/
Adidas* it was a huge risk they took allowing the Yeezy creative directors actually push designs.. not even Nike allowed them to stray too far off what is considered a Nike silhouette.
New balance been killing it tho, they have crazy designs and their colorways are always great.
The yeezy 1.5 exposed boost are crazy
🔥🔥🔥
This was such a dope video and hearing the absolute love he had for all of the experiences and how much he cherished his moments with Ye and being apart of the Yeezy journey is so sick to hear
My man said "I was an influencer before influencer was even a word". Legend.
What a great showcase and story telling by him. Truly reminded me of the crazy run Adidas and Ye had together with just a shoe that turned into history. Truly iconic.
i could listen to him describing design decisions and little moments all day long❤
I hope that they’re still in contact with one another. Not even from a business/art standpoint, but just straight friendship/camaraderie.
as wex is jewish i doubt it after ye went on that antisemetic rant
I love how creatives find the smallest thing to incorporate a small subject with a design and it blows up. ie the orange stripe (David Bowie). Amazing!!
Always wanted Jon wexler to show more of the samples he has. Steven Smith should be next 👀
Yeezy has been one of the greatest dents in sneaker history, right beside Jordan. There no other comparison.
I have wondered so much about how these all came to fruition, and knowing Kanye won’t spill the beans, I think you guys interviewed the right guy.
Thank you for thisn
Thank you for this video! Amazing! Wex is a legend.
Those 750 samples are crazy
All the mesh samples are all so clean, there's even one that looks like a 1 to 1 copy of the Air Yeezy 2s. But with the 750 outsole and strap. Shame we also never got the black pair with the gum bottoms.
we dont see sneaker content like this anymore, brings me back to the good days of shoes. amazing video and stories.
Those 350 1.5s are fucking insane
I HATE the Yeezys but you’re right! Those 1.5s with the gum sole are insane! 🔥
The beluga story with David Bowie is really nice, great anecdote
I remember commenting on every Wex IG post asking him to bring back the 750s lol. I wanted a pair so badly, and I randomly got lucky and got a worn 1x pair of Chocolate 750s for retail on Ebay. Those mesh sample pairs should have 100% released too, would have been a good way to keep that model going.
750’s is one of my favorite sneakers of all time. It was a big deal for me back then being so young.
@@DrPonyo Its honestly a pretty iconic shoe. I feel like the sneakerhead and fashion community accepted the model more than regular people. Even to this day a lot of people still see the model as a grail.
Great story on the sample lettering. Yeezys is forever goated not selling any of mine
Same here, kept all the iconic pairs. When they all start becoming hard to find people will start looking for them again
Those v1 samples 🔥
These are the type of interviews or rather informative videos that help us to learn more about the people, cultural nuisances, business, etc… great story and gave us some information that we never knew!!!!
Amazing stories from Wex
We need more sneak peeks. It’s time because the sneaker market is dying
bro and the way the series ended back in the day felt abrupt
F**k the market. Most ppl don't give af & just wear them.
He seems like a really kind dude
Good vibes and super interesting stories
Wex!!! Yo those 750's with the metal mesh and yellow bottom are incredible! I feel like Ye has a mask to match it!!! 1:24
It’s only right that Nice Kicks does a sneak peek of George Kiels Collection!
It's insane that he wears all his shoes!!!!!! What a fucking goat!!!!!!
Loved seeing Jon’s collection, some absolute heat🔥
Too cool, love the stories… also, makes me admire and respect Kanye even more, really a good misunderstood person. I wish people would give him his flowers while he’s here
Wex is the man. So many crazy stories!
Wexler is incredibly interesting man wow. So many crazy stories and bits of info in this video. That David Bowie story is fucking wild too. Great video.
such a cool guy. love this video man thanks for this 🔥
Loved this so much
Banger video. Wex shared some amazing stories
I been wearing my Mineral Blue Foam Runners and my Nike ACG super soft flip flops every day this summer! Jordan 1 low 85s the other night. Highly slept on 💎
Yo this was so dope! I love hearing how the shoes were designed.
What a cool video! Learned some things I've always wondered about Adidas yeeeeeeeeezys!
Man this dude a legend fr
The idfwy helmet🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wex is a legend
Just like me with sneakers and beard oil! great video!
That was great. Wexler is very well spoken. Sounds like Jordan brand needs to hit his line asap.
Them 750s😍
Defining Moment converse go crazy 🥶
Dam they should have released that 750!🔥
This was a good one
That’s crazy that 2024 now we are getting the Nike converse pack!! Imagine if we get those baby blue converse & bred ones in a pack😮😮
THANK YOU, WEX
Great vid!
I’m no longer calling my 350’s Belugas anymore…it’s the “Bowies” now
This was Dope !
My guy just lives in the Beaverton suburbs or smth with the Yeezy shrine. He seemed cool.
WEXLER THE GOAT
Wish he talked about the powerphase more, fav silhouette of yeezy
the vision to put the orange stripe the 350's in honor of the flight jacket
And David Bowie
More for Bowie
🔥
Man these rappers ain’t got nothing on this man!!
Hope they continue yeezys. They are so cool and we sick and tired of seeing jordans
His hoodie is dope
Wex the goat
Great story teller
Super dope vid
8:22 Beluga story is crazy
This video was special.
Uhh…that whole thing was incredible
Omg the Yeezy 350 1.5 white is the shoe I’ve literally always wanted and wondered what happened to way better then that cream 2.0 bs
An era
Wow this video was dope
What hoodie does Jon wexler have on?
This is awesome
Them Kobe 3s lowkey tuff
Would love to own that closet and all the yeezys.
Anybody notice he's wearing the Yeezy Gap Mainline hoodie? Not the perfect hoodie but the officially unreleased mainline hoodie. Crazy
only in America you can see a Vice President use curse words ahahah
11:56 this is true. I know this will be the story. LLYEEZY
Holy Grail!
New yeezy lore unlocked
Great video if your a fan of Yeezy
Let’s talk about his hip hop taste 🔥
Amazing video
Crazy I owned those baby blue hi converse
WOOOO!!
Ye is a genius...
This dude ballsy af just grabbing shit in another man house like that
That’s funny. I’m an interior designer, so I go into people’s closets to help design them, and I would never! Every time he grabbed a shoe, I jumped. Pretty cool that Wexler uses the shoes. Clearly not just about the money but a true passion.
Beluga David Bowie is crazt
I made shirts that said “I survived Webster hall”
keep the 750 on shelve homie
WOW !
750s man!
I never knew Thee. 😔
I had a run dmc shell toe in middle school and I cooked them things. I really regret it. Lmao
Wex is the fucking GOAT.
Big Sean at that time was the best
🙌
So is this the adidas tinker?
Those foam runners make your socks sweat more than shoes.
Maybe your feet just sweat bro your capping😅
Kobe 3 looked like Steph currry 3s
What a difference when the ceo is a sneakerhead vs the current adidas ceo
