Fabolous Realizes He Has Too Many Sneakers | The Complex Sneakers Show

[@Complex]

How many sneakers is too many?

[@Melmac1756]

“There is never too many. There’s just not enough days to wear them all”

[@Checkz_over_Stripez]

When you buy something forgetting you already had it, then it's time to cut back a lil.

[@cmn225]

when you have more than you can consistently wear

Fab is so chill and such an inspiration to the sneaker community

[@BlackFaithProduction]

He’s been dodging interviews for years now. He can’t do any radio shows cuz they’ll ask about him knocking Emily’s teeth out and threatening her and her father on camera. I think he’s cool for that.

[@paul734]

I wonder why fab never dropped a full clothing company. Fab had fashion influence on dudes from the east coast to the west coast from 02 to 07. Similar to Travis Scott and Kanye in these times.

[@MatthewJwelty]

He did. It was called Rich Yung Society.

[@antwanthorogood4921]

It’s harder to get a long lasting clothing brand than to just always know how to look fly. Most rappers brands just last a few years then flame out.

[@coryboynton6409]

I've never heard anyone say Fab influenced them. Especially on the west coast. He's mostly known in the fashion world for rocking fake Jordans and jerseys.

[@ddot236]

​@MatthewJwelty I still have a brand new Rich Yung tee from back in the day I never wore. I'm waiting for White/ Metallic Green AJ 1's to drop to rock it.

Glad you guys addressed the real issues with the Action Bronson release. That post captured the reality of the situation and hopefully calling this kind of behavior out can lead to better releases in the future. Maybe retail outlets don't realize that people actually schedule their day around drops and if they drop 15 minutes early it feels like these people don't get it.

[@CT37BN]

As an add to the AM90 Gore-Tex (25:06), best advice to half-a-size up. A good sneaker to wear on a rainy day for sure.

What a great episode and guest! Fab is a legend especially as a kid from New York. I copied his fits heavy in middle school. I will say I remember ppl in New York rocking with the 18s and 19s in some colors and the red suede 21s

Coke K's have always had some sort of pop-culture-referencing "stamp" or trademark as a form of branding and denoting quality. This is similar to stamps on bundles in the east coast. Usually stuff like Dior, LV, Batman, Superman, Nike, Balenciaga, etc. The cartels either stamp the top or put a printed picture on top under the cellophane. Hypothetically....

[@ElPhantasmo_ZZZ]

That gazelle yellow and black is crazy.. the only problem wit the gazelle is that they’re flat and low key, but they’re ok only thing needed is that lil extra flava that’s why the gazelle collabs go crazy ..kith Clark’s etc

Talking about crazy antics….. you guys should do a breakdown of the craziest antics for releases in the past 15-20 years. I know we touched on the pigeon dunk release quite a lot but would be cool to get a look back of memory lane of even some of the most horrific drops and maybe some of the best.

On the Bronson story - I was never able to get a sneaker through his site but I did by other apparel on each drop - I was given friends and family access. Thought it was the right way to do it. Nike has done similar things in the past

Yes Joe, AB did make customers buy a $120 dollar crewneck (in June…) when buying the sneakers. Part of me feels for the people that complained about that. The other part of me isn’t mad at AB for taking more when those pairs will flip for 8-10x+
