How Nigel Sylvester Became Air Jordan's First BMX Rider | The Complex Sneakers Podcast

[@Complex]

How do you feel about the neo-vintage movement?

[@dylang.1436]

I don't like artificial wear; much like the tears in brand new jeans it's just a waste if it'll look like that eventually anyways. However, going against Brendan saying if there's wear that he wants to be the one to put that wear on, I am all for buying used sneakers if you can't afford a crisp brand new pair at resale prices, as long as they aren't completely borked and falling apart, gotta get *some* life out of them at least.

[@KhaiNYC]

Yea I'm not a fan of the neo-vintage movement, it maybe be the cool thing now, but everyone should not be trying to artificially distress their sneakers... Just wear them

[@zacharymutter8432]

I'm fine with yellowed midsoles. It's nice having white + cream/off white be equally valid options. I don't like intentional scuffs/tears for the most part.

[@kevinchang5865]

I’m with it!

[@elevenocean4471]

Lol, dudes really bashed the pre-aged shoe then brought Nigel Sylvester out😂 + doesn’t Brendan own a pair of the A Ma Maniere 3’s and highly rate them?

[@joeypetty4723]

Yo I thought they were trolling him, lol. That was epic unawareness. Regardless, loved it all.

[@zacharymutter8432]

AND he was wearing the OW2s 😅🤣

[@ocniner_dodgerfan589]

I really wanted to like his shoes but man so disappointed had to sell them

[@AnthonyWilliams_83]

When are we getting the Jordan bike is the real question that needs to be asked 🚲

[@KobySneaks]

Another STRONG episode guys! Please keep this alive and thriving. One of the best weekly pieces of content in sneaker media. All love!

[@scottrichardson6864]

Great to hear about 6.0! Being a bmx kid back in those days, 6.0 was my shit! A lot of them I had got trashed years ago but i still got a couple pairs of Mavrk mids and Mogan mids with the strap. Haven’t brought em out in 10 years or so but still got a crispy pair of green suede Mavrk mid 2s I got in the nike outlet in the Bay area! Got some 6.0 dunks as well. Most of my dunks are either SB’s or just normal dunks though.

[@HeatLedgerKicks]

You could bring this kind of guest on for hours

[@Fadakar]

That Delorean dunk was my first L at Pacsun because the lady in front of me got every pair in my size range, 9-10, 2 pairs for each size. I'll never forget it. Ended up finding a pretty beat pair on ebay for super cheap 3 years ago before prices got really bad. 🙌

[@lilsyko3791]

I remember a guy did that with the Jordan countdown pack 11/12 back in 08. He got jumped outside in the parking lot so bad that he was put into a coma. Good times.

[@Fadakar]

@@lilsyko3791 yeah after that I realized there was no point in going for shoes until I saw a pair of moonrock 350s like 6 years later and got sucked back in, if I heard she got jumped in the lot I would've stayed in the game knowing there was justice out there 😂

[@217supermoto]

Great episode. Shoulda been 2 hours long and I also like that Welty and dunne can make puns and not have to swap out their sneakers for something wack lol

[@andrewshively6475]

I still own a pair of 6.0 OnCore’s and they were the primary shoe I wore during my entire high school career. LOVE THEM. Very, very SB dunk-like. Thanks for bringing those up.

[@wizkidgizmo]

Joe really doesn't get sarcasm/jokes does he looool, always on the defensive. Must be draining

[@davidfinley8777]

Liked it before I watched it. That’s called Faith

[@JJ-xk3ox]

Nigel fire persona, he deserve a lot. his pair with Jordan, is lit af

[@ocniner_dodgerfan589]

Had them n wasn't impressed Its my honest opinion

[@dill_stokes]

Nigel was 100% correct. People weren’t feeling the reimagined Jordan 1s until the full story and inspiration was revealed.

[@travisbutler1195]

[@kevinchang5865]

STRUCTURE was that store! Always copping fire bright orange cargo swish pants with the legs that zip off into shorts 😂

Welty being in the middle kept confusing me. Like "Why is he looking at the wall all the time" whenever he looks to his right
