So I’ll say this. CK is super knowledgeable and really has some great things to say that I really respect. But he’s a complete gatekeeper. He’s literally trashing anyone who isn’t him and like two other guys. Hes so full of his own hot air that he is really hard to listen too. The most disingenuous “humble” dude there is.
You couldn't of worded that any better brotha, I was feeling the same exact way...If you not good at reading people you would think this man is the most humble person...but I can read between it..and you worded it perfectly
Genuinely one of the most condescending, arrogant people in sneaker culture. Almost every sentence is followed by a contradiction to the previous sentence. He's got jokes but he's so mean-spirited.
My favourite contradiction is when he bemoans a culture that “needs a new thing every 8 seconds” but then says everyone is talking about something from two years ago. It’s like, sorry, did you want people to move on to other things or not?
I could listen to Clark talk about sneakers all day long. The appreciation he has, the knowledge, the work he has put it, and the sense of joy that Brendan, Welty, and Joe get from just talking to him proves that he's one of the GOATs.
Big facts. His energy the whole video was negative and egotistical.. there was nothing humbling about him.. and he Continuously contradicted himself. What we witnessed was someone that doesn’t think outside the shoebox... money is way different now days Logan Paul spent a million on a Pokémon card.. it’s not shocking that someone would spend it’s 100k on a very rare friends and family shoe..?? It’s 2021 and Dj Clark Kent had a mindset of a 80s sneaker head. 🤦🏾♂️
His take about Richard Branson being able to solve the entire country's "hunger" problem is a complete falsehood. Also, couldn't he just as easily solve the hunger problem in his immediate neighborhood, using the same logic. Every time he's on a Complex show, he just comes off as a negative snob.
I think you miss the humor in it. They’re all friends. When Clark gives an answer, it starts with kind of shrugging off the whole idea, then he slowly gives an extremely nuanced response with a legit answer by the end. The Richard Branson take was not great (not sure why an Australian dude should solve American hunger), but no ones perfect.
I think "the game" has gone wayward because voices like Clark and Russ have been diluted by people chasing hype and clicks. So it's good he'll be a regular on the show 👏🏾 P.S. I've been needing a US7.5 of the Scarr AF1's since they touched the Gram, so if anyone in the comments has a pair... 👀
Newbie here. I'm learning everything about sneakers from you. You are the most tolerable bunch to watch. Love the sneaker show and former Everyday struggle show!
I LOVE how he only speaks on sneakers in his experience…..no matter how many times they tried to bait him, his experience was his experience. He likes what he likes and only gets shoes he likes. REAL sneakerhead shit
Just a recommendation: you should put the names of the shoes each person is wearing in the intro when you show them or in the description. Awesome show as usual!
I couldn't be more excited by the compliments I received while carrying my *AMZLV* bag. This is a true statement piece that will always be happy with any girl.
Tailgating is still a thing. The 7 Line Army is known for their tailgating meets. Also, big shoutout to Scotty from Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Best bagel spot in NYC.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Welty's comment about not getting a good night's sleep in a hotel... Have kids, bro. When you can get away with the wife and sleep without any interruptions... then you'll feel it 🤣😂🤣🤙🏽
I'm from Texas, and even though I don't understand alot of the slang/shoe references from NY, I TOTALLY respect and loved this vid. This.....IMO,(from the standpoint of a Texan), was such a NY themed episode, and im all for it. Between the AF1s and Timbs....bro, this was dope af!!!!!!🙏🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I completely agree and appreciate Clark's critique of the top 10 list. I feel like when the lists get put together it feels like there are too many factors trying to be considered and included rather than just a list of the BEST 10 sneakers. I commented on the top 10 video saying that the Salahe Walk on Waters NEEDED to be in the top 10 list if not top 5.
What’s the point in having them if you’re not going to wear them!! Yes lad, never done a U-turn on a man faster than I have while watching this. What a gent! ❤️ Clark Kent.
I'm from Brooklyn and have ate at Scarrs many times. I now live in the midwest and am still a og sneaker head (54) years old. But any ways im part of a sneaker TH-cam group and one of the guys in the group found a pair of the af1 scarrs at burlington for 60.00. My question is if u found a pair what would u do? Sell, keep or what??
Shoes that ppl hate on you but you love? My answer 🤔 is the Jordan 4 spizikes the black and red and green pair to me those are super fire ❤️🔥😶🌫️ one of my all time favorites frfr
What up tho. Great episode, love when DJ Clark Kent is a guest, love even more that you guys have made him a recurring guest. I guess its the only way this generation is going to be able to remember him. #winning
What's the most money you've ever spent on a pair of sneakers?
$423 🥲
3000 dollars on travis scott jordans
275
530€
Calling cap on some people in the comments
Ahhhh the right time for late night podcast.
“I’m different” hahahahaha FSR army where you at
Where's the kryptonite, lol!
"I make shoes, I'm different " put this quote on my tombstone
He don’t do shit
On the next episode of riding Clark
So
I’ll say this. CK is super knowledgeable and really has some great things to say that I really respect. But he’s a complete gatekeeper. He’s literally trashing anyone who isn’t him and like two other guys. Hes so full of his own hot air that he is really hard to listen too. The most disingenuous “humble” dude there is.
The man does not understand nuance in conversation. He takes everything literally.
You couldn't of worded that any better brotha, I was feeling the same exact way...If you not good at reading people you would think this man is the most humble person...but I can read between it..and you worded it perfectly
John Elliot Air Force 1s are debatably the most quality af1s no 🧢.
We need a new story from Weltys childhood every week
Genuinely one of the most condescending, arrogant people in sneaker culture. Almost every sentence is followed by a contradiction to the previous sentence. He's got jokes but he's so mean-spirited.
I hate this guy man he’s so egotistic
My favourite contradiction is when he bemoans a culture that “needs a new thing every 8 seconds” but then says everyone is talking about something from two years ago.
It’s like, sorry, did you want people to move on to other things or not?

This show has filled the void ever since the Joe Budden podcast went straight to hell.. you guys seems to be on the same pace. 1 love
Big facts
I like the JBP better without mal and Rory 🤷🏾♂️
Clark is the man, this interview was dope!
The highlight was when they started joking at the Clark “I’m Different” snippet. 😂
Cark is so mean-spirited, snobby and humorless.. He's always mean to the complex guys ? why bring him on? Please keep the podcast guest-free

@@mysoncool Real talk. Talking sh** about Branson and in the next minute mentioning wearing white-on-whites only once, which is extremely decadent.
@@katzengedichte He's an interesting dude, and a legend, obviously, but he big-times like this every time he's on complex.

DJ Clark Kent dropping knowledge & facts about today's sneaker culture... fantastic episode, easily the best so far this year
Newbie here. I'm learning everything about sneakers from you. You are the most tolerable bunch to watch. Love the sneaker show and former Everyday struggle show!
Brendan with the outstanding "Middle" joke, that shit was hilarious !
Another amazing episode !
There is nothing like sneaker talk and good vibes 🔥
I LOVE how he only speaks on sneakers in his experience…..no matter how many times they tried to bait him, his experience was his experience. He likes what he likes and only gets shoes he likes.
REAL sneakerhead shit
Matt always got the best shoes on no ⛽
No gas?
@@bluemcdaniel99 meaning not pumping his shoe game up.
Just a recommendation: you should put the names of the shoes each person is wearing in the intro when you show them or in the description. Awesome show as usual!
That was a good episode
Best podcast so far guys. Mr Kent is a natural fit for you guys on the show.
I couldn't be more excited by the compliments I received while carrying my *AMZLV* bag. This is a true statement piece that will always be happy with any girl.
Most enjoyable pod I've seen with Darren James Clark Kent. Dude is a legend in the music industry and in the sneaker space. Good show boys.
Did Clark DJ for Biggie or something?
Is there a PG EPISODE!? You guys name drop him every episode. Just put him on alreadyyyyy
I love that you guys start off by showing what kind of shoes everyone was wearing
Please have him back, many times. What a well thought out gadgie.
Great episode to introduce the new studio
This was one of the best entertainment I've seen this year.
Brendan was in the 831 and I didn’t even know it😭. Wish I knew
One of the best episodes so far
Now we need Mayor on this again in the new studio.
To amazing to hear DJ Clark Kent talk about Air Force Ones wow
“How many glizzys did you move” FUCK HAHAHAHA
Y’all need to get Eric Koston on the podcast!
The guy at Spicey definitely calls himself Tony. Shout out to Tony 😂
Clark Kent is the King 👑 and it ain’t even close ✅✅✅
I better be able to fly wearing those lmao
I like how the only one that can reign in DJ Clark Kent's alpha is Joe
Throwback right here fellas. RIP DJ
Matt with the paper boy on feet 🥶
I always love Clark's perspective.
He sucks
This is the best episode I have watched. Didn't really know much about Clark Kent before this. What a great guy! Are the mids selling?
Love this fckn episode. Laughed so much. Mad respect for you all. Cheers.
Really enjoyed this. Super honest guest. Not 100% convinced by the whole 5 colour rule though. Appreciate the content guys.
56:53 crazy I could imagine how that would've been seeing that go down. Especially how big air force ones were compared to now.
Tailgating is still a thing. The 7 Line Army is known for their tailgating meets. Also, big shoutout to Scotty from Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Best bagel spot in NYC.
Clark is a true legend
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Welty's comment about not getting a good night's sleep in a hotel... Have kids, bro. When you can get away with the wife and sleep without any interruptions... then you'll feel it 🤣😂🤣🤙🏽
I think a Mayor & Clark Kent episode is a no brainer
Favorite podcast
More DJ Clark Kent pleaseeee
I'm from Texas, and even though I don't understand alot of the slang/shoe references from NY, I TOTALLY respect and loved this vid. This.....IMO,(from the standpoint of a Texan), was such a NY themed episode, and im all for it. Between the AF1s and Timbs....bro, this was dope af!!!!!!🙏🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legit one of the best episodes. Clark so knowledgeable and such a calm demeanour
My favorite podcast keep it up !!!!!!!
“I Can’t Win Them All & I’m Cool With That”
Clark is the 🐐
I completely agree and appreciate Clark's critique of the top 10 list. I feel like when the lists get put together it feels like there are too many factors trying to be considered and included rather than just a list of the BEST 10 sneakers. I commented on the top 10 video saying that the Salahe Walk on Waters NEEDED to be in the top 10 list if not top 5.
re-occuring guests is a great idea... Clark, Premium Pete, Mayor... for sure
Damn comfy af!!!! Love dat fit Mr. Dunne!

Sending love from Indonesia!
What’s the point in having them if you’re not going to wear them!! Yes lad, never done a U-turn on a man faster than I have while watching this. What a gent! ❤️ Clark Kent.
This was great
More with Clark!!!

s/o Brendan. havent seen the awake merrell mocs before. had to scoop them up today so fire
R.I.P King!
Not JLP with the nail paint 😂
My respect for Kent skyrocketed way above the amount that this guy spent on the air force 1s
Pepsi blue was actually fire!!! Fire!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🎃
Dunn with the old AND1 slip ons #nice
We need a annual or semi annual DJ Clark talk in Complex so good to hear everything that I couldn’t put into words get addressed.💐
I respect Clark for the simple fact he does it to be fresh lol
Shoutouts from Finland
"Pepsi Blue; what an elixir" lmaooo
I'm from Brooklyn and have ate at Scarrs many times. I now live in the midwest and am still a og sneaker head (54) years old. But any ways im part of a sneaker TH-cam group and one of the guys in the group found a pair of the af1 scarrs at burlington for 60.00. My question is if u found a pair what would u do? Sell, keep or what??
Shoutout to pgknows a true goat 🐐🔥🔥🔥
Such a phenomenal episode!!!

Skip to 13:00
Dapper Dan set up the luxury brands up ..... the street in the 80's made LV , GUCCI look good
This dude is awesome
Joe what is your favorite Nike airforce 1 and why.
Would love to see DJ Clark Kent as a reoccurring guest on the pod! Great episode, I’m finishing my second watch through now!
Keep Clark coming back, this was an incredible discussion
Shoes that ppl hate on you but you love?
My answer 🤔 is the Jordan 4 spizikes the black and red and green pair to me those are super fire ❤️🔥😶🌫️ one of my all time favorites frfr
Can’t hate on gifting a pair of sneakers and then them selling them for $80,000, that in most cases is life changing money
Jesus loves you ❤️
Nice Video 🔥
Clark kent ‼️‼️
When or where is the video with Edison on full size run ??
Yo "d.j." Clark Kent is cool as a f*cn fan💯🔥🔥🔥
Don Johnson was a solid guest
What up tho. Great episode, love when DJ Clark Kent is a guest, love even more that you guys have made him a recurring guest. I guess its the only way this generation is going to be able to remember him. #winning
Like $250, and that killed me. $9.75 in materials, plus labor for most silhouettes, imo. 🤑
What do you guys think about New Balance 515?
Brendan with that Simpsons reference.
What is it with us Kyle's and The Simpsons.... I was about to comment that haha.
Clark with the good Ayelayen fitted
How can a pizza place that’s not even well known Air Force one sell for more than game worn autographed Jordan shoes. Insanity.
These guys are DORKS
