Alchemist, Dj Premier, 9th wonder, Madlib, Dj Muggs

[@fleebyte1353]

can we shoutout the editor for consistently making each episode amazing & enjoyable. I want him to be featured on the show one day, he probably has great sneaker knowledge.

[@darealphantom]

They showed him a few times I think he was on an episode some years ago I’m not sure

[@ealvarez8220]

A true legend is in the building gentlemen! The chemistry man.

[@IconicSwooshes]

We just scored a Jordan 5 Stealth 2.0 at the outlet! We do videos about finding Heat Jordan retros at the Nike outlets & are currently giving away a Jordan 3 Reimagined if you want to enter check out our video!

[@edddmund]

The original Walter White baby

[@emmyj1055]

Talk about bringing the fire this season, great guests and stories every time. Loved this episode with Al, a true legend and one of the best producers in the game big ❤

[@Gabeis36]

This may be my favorite episode yet. Al seems like a super genuine and knowledgeable dude

[@danieljuarez8263]

Met alchemist twice, indeed a living legend.

[@Janoodle]

The Alchemist himself finally graces us with his presence. Episode of the year.

[@jarpipz]

Shoutout to the editors always putting in the work with the captions and such

[@tristanbrown2713]

Brendan LOOKS LIKE teddy FROM snowfall!!

[@walterroux291]

DOUBLE shoutout to the editor for always killing it on Full Size Run! I see what you're doing with those nostalgic piano hits, it's an interesting addition that several seasons from now that sound will become nostalgic in itself.

[@meya3521]

i love seeing trinidad get worst take, it hurts his soul in the funniest way. The terror squad 1's w/ joe I thought he was going to light the set on fire. Love yalls passion and so amazing to see the growth and how well earned it is. I honestly believe we'll see FSR collabs in the next couple years. thanks guys!

[@perc9-4]

Shout out to the fsr crew and army and alchemist I had the curren$y and alchemist covert coupe mixtape on repeat in highschool

[@meatslinger4449]

One of my favourite guests to date

[@cactusjack2264]

First time hearing Alchemist speak, lol I’m used to hearing his beats speak for him tbh

[@cameronsk838]

Impressive skate knowledge from Al

[@d.felixphoto2260]

Trinidad James shirt is definitely made with the fabric from a vintage star wars bed set. How do I know because I definitely had it as a kid. Lol. Those Air Trainer Max were serious business

[@biglui97]

Editor needs to show himself already and get the round of applause he deserves for these amazing edits episode after episode

[@carsonshelton8921]

He did he was on a sneaker game show with them and he was on one episode in the beginning for a skit

[@arimaslit]

Cant wait to watch this later w my girl. Got to see alc live when him and earl came to atl. Super humble guy signed her sweater and all.. glad to see him on my favorite show

[@unclebuck416]

Good job Alchemist

[@CrossSM]

You're doing good Uncle Buck 👍🏽🍊 yeehee

[@pedroluisadamesborrero]

Thank you for that Metal Gear Solid 3 comment

[@lyonhartgreyflag]

I was just listening to "DIFFERENT WORLDS" with BigTwin from the 1stInfantry album 🔥

[@DssK91]

The mix of three FSR host completes this show! Brendan the troll, Matt the connoisseur, and Trinidad the OG. Brilliant.

[@yakuzamoons]

Welty looks so devastated every time a guest says they never resold sneakers. it’s like he takes it personal 😭

[@gilbertm3021]

1st infantry

[@thisguytm3302]

Y'all have great guests I swear, I get at least one chuckle a episode, salute.

[@V4Lanz]

Uncle ALC here!?. dammm what a good day

[@jamiekelly5335]

ID on the patta jacket on Al?

[@Pedroepacas]

Why it hasn't been a ALC sneaker Shopping yet it's just insane

[@ahmaddanialmohammad]

Fun episode. Great conversation and knowledge for everyone. Shout outs and love always for the FSR team.

[@islandmanmikep]

Al is a legend, but on another note Brendan's jacket is fire.

[@F2D17]

Dope ep

[@TheCNSR]

Legend 🫡 quality episode 👏🏾

[@hometownglory6025]

Ayyy, Connoisseur! Not surprised to see you here.. but if you haven't seen it go check out the F that's delicious episode where they hit London. Good vibes with AB and Al all round 🙌

[@TheCNSR]

@@hometownglory6025 Didn't know they came over, will check it out 👍🏾

[@astral_plane_crash]

Alc's the nicest guy. Top 2 producer and he ain't number 2.

[@Monstertruckzero]

Alchemist’s attitude really brightened my day 💯 what a real one

[@bearasma]

amazing episode good to see how consistent the show is since the channel switch

[@karbonfiba2044]

They need to bring back Air Force IIIs in the highs and lows...

[@biosfearmag]

For me, the XLarge store on Vermont back in the early 90s was one of the first spots you could get the original b-boy sneakers before they started reissuing them all.

[@alexw9215]

First time viewer. The editing on this is....something. ADHD to the max

[@IconicSwooshes]

We just scored a Jordan 5 Stealth 2.0 at the outlet! We do videos about finding Heat Jordan retros at the Nike outlets & are currently giving away a Jordan 3 Reimagined if you want to enter check out our video!

[@C0nzilla]

STOP SAYING "TIMES" FOR COLLABORATIONS. In math x means times, yes, but also AND. for instance: 3 x 4 is : times 3 and 4. JUST SAY AND

[@FryPoorGreedo]

I'm almost certain Trinidad's shirt is made out of an old Star Wars bed sheet 🙌🙌

[@justendollaz]

Dope and timely episode. Shouts to the entire FSR crew💯🖤

[@brian_eye]

“Take off this goggles. You’re 36” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@irunAMOK-]

It's not that couch!😂❤😂 Fire episode!!

[@RetroRobz]

Legend

[@gammaghoul11]

I need to know where to get Brendan's and Alchemists jackets they're fire

[@mundanemedia117]

Worst take on all of you not acknowledging the similarities of the Intimidations and previous YZY designs, a blatant attempt at marketing the silhouettes without the man himself. SKIP

[@djkidkrazy]

Matt Welty dressed like a newly found youth pastor. LL Bean shirt + WWJD bracelet + 574

[@markkevnjflores]

great episode! a lot of nostalgia thru alchemist’s stories

[@shoeengine1161]

who is responsible for the sneaker alchemy intro?

[@BboyBlackout]

It was time dyed. They originally came blue but time turned them purple. C’mon James. You’re better than that.

[@arizonateagod8491]

Anyone know where Trinidad got that button up from?

[@bronxnm]

Nike needs to hire Trinidad no cap. That Royal 1s idea is crazy 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I rather that than the suede material. Why suede Nike????why???😢

[@Striiipes4ever]

Brendan with the Paria Farzaneh jacket 👌🏿 chess move my boy!

[@MrFord-jb1eq]

Them adidas looks like them Yeezy

[@colegarrison3722]

I am so happy. Peace to the God Alchemist

[@marylazcano6792]

This takes me back to coming home from high school and watching BET Rap City and seeing the Hold You Down video come out. Pure nostalgia

[@donstatus27]

Frame Brendan’s Jordan pose, put it in a sneaker tongue and make someone wear it for last weeks worst take.

[@Cleanthecityinc]

Montell Jordans 🤣

[@PeepGamePopoff]

“I don’t like modifications” 😂

[@ebinflo102]

YESSS!!! Shout out to the hardest working producer in hip hop. His album w Roc Marcy is still my fav of the last 3yrs Incredible projects keep coming back to back, and I’m here for all of it. Nuff respect!

[@BookerT69]

YES! The FLIGHTPOSITE III IS THE GOAT

[@JakeKazanova]

[@andrewmoore6773]
