DJ Clark Kent on His Ultimate Sneaker Expo, Difference in Sneaker Game Today

www.sneakerwatch.com/ - DJ Clark Kent is a legend in two worlds. As one of the most respected figures in Hip Hop, Clark Kent produced some of rap's biggest hits and was one of the earliest people to champion Jay Z as the next big thing. However, you can argue that he's just as respected in the sneaker world as his reputation as one of the most notable OG sneakerheads has led to him designing 60 pairs of shoes with major brands like Nike.
DJ Clark Kent recently dropped by and discussed today's sneaker culture in addition to his Ultimate Sneaker Expo in Long Island on September 17, 2016. Along with founding partner, DJ Sharad, Clark Kent's Ultimate Sneaker Expo brings in between 2,500 - 3,200 attendees each year. While Clark Kent acknowledged that kids usually just want Jordans and Yeezys, he said you never know what kind of sneakers and Grails you'll come across due to his belief that the star of ever sneaker show should be the sneakers rather than celebrity appearances and performances.
After talking about the Ultimate Sneaker Expo, Clark Kent addressed the main difference he sees between the younger and older generation of sneakerheads. According to the famous DJ and sneakerhead, the main difference is that there's no longer a hunt or actual discovery of sneakers because people know about and are attached to a shoe months before it's released. Clark Kent also talked about the younger generation wanting shoes early for no good reason and reminded sneakerheads everywhere that at the end of the day, "it's just shoes."

Kent speaking the truth. Kids killing the game

[@bostons2826]

Dope idea. Much love

[@jetlifejlee5155]

That buying shoes early shit is out the window now companies caught on to that at least 6 yrs ago

[@ramp622]

7:00 I think some people don't want to wear their shoes because they are like grails to them, even though they may just be a pair of 11s, they are super important to a person who doesn't have that much access cash. So they don't want to ruin their prized possession in a sense.

I've known the name DJ Clark Kent for YEARS but I have never put a face to the name or heard his voice. I always envisioned him being someone like Mayor and Perfect Pair but this guy is LEGIT humble. Those other guys compared to Kent are cocky and pretentious.

Another video with Vlad talking about that he has Yeezys...

[@Loganh24]

I was jumped for my Starburys. Help me out?

[@itsmike5757]

Move out of China

[@primetimecookstv]

Just my opinion, every shoe must be worn no matter what unless it is a 1 of 1 shoe then I think that they must be worn

[@misterneckbreaker88]

A mother allowing her kid to rush around trying to buy 4K yeezys is not a good parent. I get the love for shoes but these prices is ridiculous. Now days it's all flipping flipping buying just as an investment.

[@CreatedbyLeon]

Dude some parents are well off if I was a millionaire I'd make sure my kid have everything they wanted they need to know Theres nothing they can't have. That's why rich parents have rich kids they look at money differently

[@DARTHDEVIOUS210]

Just cuz they not affordable to you, don't shit on the next kid cuz his parents made the right decisions & hustled in life for that to be possible. Tell your parents they ain't shit

[@TheCNSR]

Being capable of spoiling your kids rotten is good, because nobody's ever going hungry; but actually spoiling them like that is foolish and that sense of entitlement they'll be raised with is not something any reasonable parent will appreciate.

[@misterneckbreaker88]

I AM DA TONE they wasn't 4k at retail launch.

[@tenceone9306]

shaolinskunks88 I agree imagine how many more important things you can buy with 4k.

[@Hypno-toad8]

[@QthAgR8]

[@TakashiAmanoOriginal]
