- Drake dissed Kendrick Lamar last week for being a “big stepper” with a size-7 men’s on, but it turns out the bar wasn’t actually factual. As the Rap War of 2024 now includes a footwear-related jab, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty reacted to the line and also talk about the clarification, from sneaker store Rif LA, that Lamar is in fact a few sizes up from that. Also, the co-hosts discuss Nike’s Olympic rollout of its A.I.R. prototypes in Paris, the plan to have less Air Force 1s in the market, and just how good Anthony Edwards’ AE 1 is.

Who has the better sneaker collabs, Drake or Kendrick?
Kendrick
Drake
Neither 😂
No one cares
we rockin with drake, make some drums
Honestly prefer the episodes of this podcast *without* guests ngl. Just the three of these guys chopping it up make for the best episodes impo.
big facts
Thought I was the only one that thought this. Sometimes the guests are pretty entertaining but it’s something about hearing feedback from their retail days etc that just makes the episode a whole lot better
Probably will be doing more non guest episodes going forward.
Same, I usually turn the guest episodes off 5 min into the guest. I’ve only enjoyed a couple.
Get AI out of shoe design
Sorry, but Brendan sounded like a Nike lapdog in this episode. The event was an absolute joke for a Nike Olympic year. The Pegasus premiums were nice and I might get a pair, but the tech is just rehashed and nothing revolutionary. The skate boarding shoes and break dancing shoes will be forgotten about. Finally, the A.I.R. shoes were nothing more than Nike taking those silly AI generated completely impractical future shoes that any random person can make with an AI program and 3D printing them and acting like they’re revolutionary. None of those shoes are practical or have a chance of ever being produced for consumers
Cry a river
@@Resist_OppressionNike simp
Pegaus Premium def not revolutionary, but still a cool shoe. Feel like I said in here a few times that I wasn't totally convinced by what Nike had to offer, but I get that I'm going to be more enthusiastic than most since I was here.
People hate on Welty because he keeps it real. People hate on Welty because he doesn't cream over Nike and Jordans like all you hypebeasts do. Welty is the best one on this pod
i wouldn't say any one of the 3 is "better" than the other but i agree with you
Thank YOU. Not to mention everyone used to diss him for rocking Spezials, Sambas, New Balances, etc. 5 years ago. And now look em now 🤐
What a nasty take 🤣🤣
Welty with the Khalil Gibran Tee !👀❤🔥
Mat, on the Drake Kendrick dis, that's just how people roast. It's like if we were at a bar and I tell you, "you got a runway on your forehead", are you gonna point to your forehead and say that's factually incorrect, lol.
How can Welty understand that the stacks reference is an exaggeration but cant connect that the size 7 is an exaggeration for small feet? Just mind boggling
Welty was a tough listen today… he needs a Debbie Downer edit
He’s a miserable Nike hater who’s in bed with NB!
Weltys shirt is dope
Size 7 Mens not Available..We only have Youths Sizes
Love these podcast 🙌
Love Welty, but this rap battle fact check was a huge L. He even misconstrues what a simile is, which is when you compare two things using like or as.
Hey Matt: color code on the retail box of the “officially Industrial Blue AJ4” actually lists the blue as ‘military blue’
These are - as they’ve always been - the Military Blue 4. 👍🏾
The AE Tie Dye looks very inspired by one of the Pharrell NMD Holi pack pairs (Pink Glow/Powder Dye).
I've been watching these guys for years. Does everyone see Welty as "Deputy Downer" and Dunn as "Captain Enthusiasm" and JLP is "Joe Cool"?
I just see 3 white dudes that get waaaay too many free shoes.
no because it's not that deep i just watch & enjoy the show
Nah, Welty keeps it’s real
“Wet Blanket Welty”
Welty is Master Ugwe, Dunne is Master Shifu, and Joe is The Dragon Warrior
14:55 Looks like a 2028 HyperFlight. Loved those shoes the moment I saw White Chocolate in them.
Why does this episode feel so edited? I liked the off the cuff and off topic rants
Not sure-no more edited than the usual ones.
FTR the actual shoebox says "Military Blue." Nike done fooled y'all.
Welty cant be the one commenting on battle rap
Size 7 can come in youth. It’s true, it’s not the same.
Most of the time when working at a shoe store we would have a 7 youth instead of mens 7
@@jamalsaladsfacts smallest men's size is a 7.5
Smalles size in mens can actually be down to a 5
Thought all the A.I. driven concepts didn't have any Wow factor in them, but the Pegasus Premium though am quite impressed with the ZoomX/Air unit/ReactX foam used on this sneaker, it's basically the Nike Air Max that I always envisioned to be made.
The SB PS8's looked a bit like those Tom Sachs General Purpose collab from 2023.
My favorite AE is also the all star colorway. They remind me of when Gohan went SSJ2 🔥🔥🔥
Never been this early. Lol. I'll edit my comment when i finish watching
😂
Big energy on this episode feels like a pub chat
Mate.
COMPLEX SNEAKER PODCAST VLOGS AN KEEP THEM COMING 💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Looking forward to that pegasus
AE1 is great but the hoop shoe that should be on the top 10 list is the Sabrina shoe. First women's shoe really embraced by NBA and men's hoopers. Plus it is the best shoe to actually hoop in.
Welty and JLP’s take on if the bar hit or not reminds me of Rick Ross fans vs non Rick Ross fans
Shout out Welty for the shirt
Besides the sneakers, this podcast is good. You can literally see the back and forth disagreement but in a respectful way.
Not looking for a music take from Welty. If Drake knew Kendrick’s actual size that’s an L.
not michelle tanner i thought it was joey gladstone with the cut it out... also the self lace nikes didnt catch on bc at $720 not too many people will be able or want to buy it,, i think after having the airbubbles and high tech sneakers i realized i like my sneakers simple and plain but rare like from other parts of the world and that stands out, im not into crazy sneakers i think the jeff staples nft metalic sneakers were nice and those would work for a futuristic sneaker.. but what about the interview with the prime minister of israel, ydanis rodriguez, george santos, wisin, john stamos, the olsen twins, sasha mitchel, jeremy miller, manuel ferrara, cazzu , renoli santiago for dunne, the nick jonas for welty and chili parker for lapuma
the nike jam breaking shoe thumbnail was wrong!
I’m with Welty on the kendrick shoe size thing, and the jayZ bar dunne used as a parallel is def different bc there are no measurements or specifics given to actually disprove it. Different type of situation, good discussion tho
Another great show on Friday homies!
fav show on youtube 🥰
They actually ARE military blue... I was a huge proponent of "they're not called military blue because the color is actually industrial blue" and thought I was vindicated when we got the hydro IV slides in and the color was white/industrial blue (I'm a sneaker store mgr) but the 4s are in fact white/military blue
Welty with the fire shirt
my weekend begins!
51:17 yall talk about AE1s so much but never seen yall in them, how can it be that dope but yall not wearing it, and I like the shoe 😂
hitting the stride a bit more, gj yall
please never have Welty comment on the sarcasms of rap disses ever again
yeh so if you have nothing to say to someone you just invent something just lie for clout,,,lol
Never have Welty comment on rap period
Wonder if they’ll do an episode on how the Fear of God x Adidas collab flopped
It's the Full House reference for me.
“Im gonna sit here and take it all in” is crazyyyy
Dublin sneakerhead here,
I wouldn’t wear the Union Jack reeboks, eg classics /club C personally, because of the Union Jack. Id wear the jjjound ones that don’t have the flag though .
Definitely goes person to person and upbringing to upbringing/ family history though ☘️✔️
Just food for thought
Did you show the break dancing shoe or the Skateboarding?
@4:19
😂😂😂 yall crazy for this one!
Matt's spot on about his points on nike' I totally agree with his opinions, im a sneaker og' from Cleveland
We need Arthur back 🏎️🔥
Let’s be real the affordability of the AE1 is a huge factor in its success - especially where these retros are 200+ retail.
Best sneaker show on the planet !
Welty carries this podcast week in and week out.
How are you not going to talk about the Jordan Brand Roman Reigns deal.
Fellas!! What we think about JFG NB 1000?
Welty wore the pink pair last week
42:34 : I dont think he was being literal when he said theres a difference
MY JFG BLACK ICES JUST CAME IN TODAY! 🙌🏽
NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM BROOKLYN.
Welty speaks nothing but the truth! Drake a cornball!
Problemsolver8 is fire. Skate community certified hood classic. Hoping to tear a pair up this summer! Seen some better photos of them up close. Gives off major Tom Sachs vibes. 🤙🏽
I thought the size 7 diss was based on The Weekend
Perfect podcast to take a nap to 😴😴😴
Dunn looks like one of those athletes tee shirts from back in the day a huge head and a little body.😮
I want those Nike ps8!!!! 🤩
YES !!! Please bring back Arthur Kar !
Y’all forgettin’ ‘bout the Adidas Dame 4 😓
Also fact check: not EYBL (Nike) but 3SSB (Adidas) for that AE1 Tie-Dye - need an apology next week
It’s Friday
I don’t think Nike’s problem is working remote… I think it might be their addiction to riding the revenue wave of sure things. We’re OVER just seeing multiple color ways of the same 3 shoes. It’s to the point of fatigue. Dunks, J 1’s, it’s just getting old. Welty actually had GREAT points here
Union Jordan 1 Footscape most underrated sneaker of last year. Goes with everything, looks like a Jordan 1 but more interesting. If it came out in 2020, would have been a $600 shoe.
all those AI designs are a L
clicked off because welty was wearing ankle socks
i have to agree that drake is not ahead in the rap battles and i think hes corny as well. Even though Cole backed out - he did drop a full mixtape while the others did a couple songs max. Kendrick does need to come out with something else though imo
Drake not making a peep after ADIDON said it all
That ad was bogus.
JLP rockin the Airism Oversized Tee?
Matt is absolutely right. Diss tracks come with facts!!
U Missed The Up Coming Sneakers Release For April 2024 as Well Too What Up with That As well
Welty is right drakes bar got a lot less weight since kendrick is a 8.5-9
union jack has that white line much more bold
I agree with Matt, had Nike said we've got all these AI shoes and we've taken everything we've learnt to make this new shoe for the olympic year that you can buy right now and announced a new revolutionary shoe it'd land better. But by saying these are just prototypes that you can't use but you can buy a new pegasus that looks a lot like a Hoka Clifton just isn't right.
Got em! ❤
Welty’s take on the beef is totally valid.
Not an adidas fan but I do like the ae and the 3 pack was hard to get I did Score a Venice beach 11 tho so shout out to the Big 3😂
Get Joe Fresh Goods, Benny the Butcher and Clark Kent back
Air Sesh tho?
Although sneaker culture is lame to me this podcast is as fresh as ever.
There’s so much more to takeaway from Drake’s diss song, to get caught up on one line is kinda crazy. His diss was very well thought out and I promise you I’m not even a fan of his… if you watch a breakdown you can’t help but think it’s impressive.
His ghostwriters definitely deserve a lot of credit 🙌🏻
@@bern717 yes they do!
I love my union 1s 😢
I love the Nike slander from Welty, well deserved
If drakes 6ft size 11 / kendrick is 5’5”with a size 9… seems like drake is actually below average
Whoever edits this should be fired 😂
They’ll talk about 10 different shoes. ZERO pics and then they mention an AF1 and you put a pic of the all white lows up like that’s the one shoe nobody knows. Smart.
his only response was “ corny “ 😂😂😂😂 yeah that explains everything dude didn’t even have a reason . drake definitely up
Please bring back FSR 😒
I def like the PS8s
Ok 8-9 is still BABY SHOES BRUH😂😂😂
Welty definitely hating on Drake he killed both of them
Drake is corny, I'm with Welty on this.
Welty big hating on Drake 🤣🤣
I’m with Welty 100% on the drake stance
Nike talk wearing adidas 😂
