THE King

[@TheSnappyNappyDugout]

I'm with Marques on the "wear your kicks" motto.... I've never copped kicks to hold them for years to ultimately sell them. I've never understood that, but then again, I'm not a sneakerhead, but I'm a fan of them. People, wear your kicks... wear them to the fkn ground. Couldn't care less who says anything about the condition of mine. I bought'em to wear'em!!!

[@woo_shynen8805]

Exactly. I love sneakers but man I wear mines, not yk totally destroying them like walking in the mud, rain, doing labor work but I wear mines and crease mines like any sane person would. Sneaker People need to keep hearing this

[@simonstewart5277]

It’s a valid point, as a sneakerhead the reason you treat certain pairs with the utmost care is because you might never get another pair and want them to last as long as possible. Some pairs are art, not shoes, and that’s okay too

[@mrrayner7162]

I'm a "wear them but keep them clean" kinda guy. I have my daily drivers that I will clean intermittently (Currently some Cold.rdy Ultraboost 21s and Air Zoom Freak 5s) but the small selection of favourites are worn to go somewhere and looked after.

[@333dae]

it’s the reseller mentality, a lot of people think of shoes as investment and can’t fathom that some people want to buy shoes to wear them until they fall apart

[@KiloEcho75]

This has to be one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a few seasons. Marques is always one of the most intelligent and engaging individuals on any interview he’s on and this was no exception. This episode is one the ones I encourage people outside of the Sneaker Community to watch and understand that Sneakerheads are a vast and varied community. Thanks to Joe and the Complex Crew for this one!!! And those Futura Dunks Joe was rocking looked 🔥🔥🔥

[@cwfwrestling2807]

1200 for those Kobe’s is wild

[@littleviper1927]

Swear they sub $200 on eBay for a clean pair

[@Goodaz6969]

i would NEVER shop here, they charge well over resale for everything it’s ridiculous

[@RBeeZy1]

@@littleviper1927 for a 12 it's like 400-800 with authentication. There are no 12.5 or 13's on ebay rn

[@modeloman4568]

They def be over pricing these sneakers for their guests so they get more😭

[@edgardls95]

Only the real ones were getting them when they were $120

[@mr_arroz]

Man. MKBHD is so dope. From the his tech knowledge to his love of the Jordan 1's and Kobe, and then the nod to Sabrina...respect.

[@sacredlotus505]

“Hopefullly he’s gonna buy some sneakers” …. That’s the plan 😂

I am legit happy for Mr. Brownlee. I remember when I first started watching his videos and he filmed them from his dorm or apartment. When he would film his videos as he would have strategically placed cereal boxes as background props.
