Sean Wotherspoon, the BIGGEST FRAUD in SNEAKERS HISTORY ?

[@tellthetruth7497]

This channel is a DeepFake. Hired voice actor, hired video editor and graphics. Who’s behind it? China? Putin? Smarten up people

[@RAPIDSVISION]

The propaganda is on 🌐

[@johnnytheophilus]

hella efficient

[@captaindadpool1]

Couldn't even say Meta right lol

[@elbankoballer625]

No Kanye West did it first

[@KilsE90]

dude what, they're just a french channel expanding to english speaking viewers

[@magnussmith9733]

Sean did not make the Air Max 1/97 all by himself, but do you think Ye made all the Yeezys all by himself?

[@Thedarkmickey]

Yeah we already know Ye did not make all the yeezys by himself. He has a full team. I dont think any designer makes any shoe all by them self.

[@hamishcraig5178]

It was part of Nike's brief for the campaign to collaborate with a group of your closest friends and/or colleagues. So in fact, Sean was one of the few who actually followed the guidelines. Ultimately, I'm not sure if that's a valid point against him

[@RAPIDSVISION]

It wasn't supposed to be a point "against" him, it was a point to try to explain why his design was way better than the other participants

[@germannimaja8490]

@@RAPIDSVISION nah you was definitely throwing shade over him collabing with his boys. smh.

[@fencho4381]

[@jasonproctor9896]

In his defense, no one designs sneakers by themselves. It's all a design team, or you'd end up like all those other terrible hybrids that didn't win. Even Kanye has a team of designers

[@ib5123]

Deprived us of further Nike collaboration trainers…looking at those tear away air max 1 samples is brutal 😫

[@RAPIDSVISION]

The am1 tear away was a bespoke and wasn't supposed to drop anyway 🤷‍♂️

[@_face773]

Can't say he's a "fraud" , he took advantage of a 1 time business situation and flipped it into an empire. Smart to me but I enjoyed the video. 😀😀

[@STAYHUMBLE302]

Didn’t all his stores close except one chi town

[@hc661]

@@STAYHUMBLE302 yeah a huge part of that was due to the BLM riots looting his stores 😉

[@thebanchorz8141]

Nah Sean’s a solid dude. For a guy who started a small business selling vintage + streetwear to now working with some of the biggest names in the game is a huge come up. No matter if his newer designs sell out or not, he’s still pushing the culture. Trying to discredit the work of other designers without you even bringing anything to the table is just makes your opinion lackluster.

[@1hrax]

plot twist his goal was to make shoes so fruity they ended up on sale to put designer shoes in every day peoples hands. not just hypebeasts and nepo kids.

[@ki6eki]

Thank you for making this video, exactly what I've been feeling for many years

[@threepeatvintage]

He has his own personal design vision and stays true to that. He works with a lot of archival 80s and 90s clothing and footwear pieces and bases a lot of his design work on that. With him also being vegan he tries to make a lot of his products out of sustainable products which a lot of these big box brands should be doing too. We throw Virgil's name around saying he is the goat of footwear design but how many flops has he had recently outside of the "10" pack.

[@MrKevy40]

Ok so you are definitely a Sean Witherspoon wood rider besides every designer is going to have a flop or two but Sean only had 1 major hit where as Virgil had many more hits than flops

[@threepeatvintage]

@@MrKevy40 The title of the video states that he is the Biggest Fraud of the Sneakers History. (sic) I was debunking that. I am not saying he is perfect in any form and have never bought any of his shoes and probably won't in the future either. That doesn't mean that someone else will go out and buy them as they like them. I am a massive Virgil Fan and have most of his design books but outside the "10" pack and the airforce 1s most of the other shoes that have come out have sat and are going for well under retail. Because of this does this make him the Biggest Fraud of the Sneakers History? (sic) No it doesn't!!

[@devils3never3cry]

His most recent adidas shoe did really well both resell and hype

[@Weebay_213]

Not really, the London Nights Oketro did way better less hype better design and great resale for a shop collab, that shoe is another level under the lights

[@lgomez8478]

@@Weebay_213 what? 😂 the orketro he designed is going for 300+ and they are selling consistently for those prices. London knights is a really nice alternative though

[@OMSPZ]

No he's not a fraud and your video did not show he was. He designed it per the contest prompt, with his friends. Weird hater vibes with that title. Maybe you should have posed it as a question.

[@JayFlacko]

It’s always so weirdly funny when these “informative” vids got the narrator pronouncing damn near everything wrong “Ronnie fag “ being the best one by far 😂😂😭

[@sebb1791]

Fraud is a big word he is still huge and I think given to opportunity’s anyone would take that Sean is still so talented and he will forever hold a huge place in the streetwear community regardless if you like him or not

[@eljovi5406]

Stop the hate. A lot of contradictions in this video.

[@GM-by7tc]

subbed. Great editing and writing. The only thing I can think of I didn't like was the weird guy doing reactions. Distracting and kind of makes the video seem generic (when it isn't.)

[@sperez95814]

I’m with you 100000000000 that weird guy is so annoying

[@ppt8309]

I follow Rapids from their french channel, trust me you hate it now but you will end up loving that weird guy 😂

[@Belzebuth94]

We call him the man with the veste à piques

[@jeremycruz3555]

The weird guy adds to the comedy 😆

[@HireCoop]

Met Sean at Round 2 in LA years ago. He personally cashed me out for some Supreme clothes I traded in. Cool dude

[@RAPIDSVISION]

His AM 1/97 gave him a career and he was really good at capitalizing on it 🤷‍♂️

[@andrewscolnic4986]

This is a strangely aggressive video and I think saying Sean was known for dipping sneakers and cutting things up is such a wildly diminutive way to describe round 2 and everything he built

[@thomaspayton_]

Sean’s designs don’t suck. Adidas just sucks. Labeling him as a “fraud” is not cool

[@jasonsimpkins5040]

I like bright, loud colorful kicks but they have to be done right and certain shoes.

[@henryperez3512]

Surprised you mentioned the team effort that went into the Air Max 97/1s. People never mention that. I actually enjoy the 80/90s colorful vibe. Even so I agree that a good amount of his designs ain't it. Still his original collab is a top 3 sneaker for me. And what got me into the sneaker game. So I'll forever appreciate him for that. Plus that Adidas Orketro was pretty dope. Hopefully, it's a sign of better things to come!

[@ash7324]

What’s with the clips of the random dude with the spikey jacket?

[@adilmzese5346]

I dislike Sean Wotherspoon for a completely different reason and that's because he's a scammer. It was around 6-10 years ago can't remember the exact year since I was like 12 but he would consistently scam people in the biggest sb facebook group and got called out by the admin and banned for scamming and ripping people off. I could care less about his sneaker because I don't like it anyways and I really just like sb dunks but Sean Wotherspoon deserves all the hate he gets even if hes a great designer he isn't a good person at heart and just wants money.

[@aljay2361]

So much negativity and inaccuracy in this video... Sean's a good dude!

[@Active_Alien]

It’s too early to put Salehe in GOAT convos. Dude, is really only known for his Crocs and the clothing he launched with them flopped with no one really wearing the pieces. Virgil, on the other hand, is going to be missed for a very very long time. Once a generation type talent

[@ki6eki]

Sean is the definition of fake it till you make it sell out

[@rob8575]

His new Gazelles are fire and will be his most popular shoes with Adidas so far id say

[@elroyskicks9127]

I never liked his designs, they look messy and the color choices don’t work to me . He seems like a cool dude and I can respect him going hard for that nike collab but that’s not enough for me to hop on the SW bandwagon .

[@kaskovic1993]

I fully agree! Except for Air maxes he didn't do anything good!

[@randomchannel323]

I think one of the reasons why the Sean wotherspoon's flop is the collabs on shoe models people rarely buy. Like those basic Adidas shoes that you'll pick up when you just need new shoes rather than something like Yeezy where it's hyped

[@mashi_rsa]

He made a classic sneaker, whether we think he's a fraud or not but he did that, well scenuis. I like the fact that he doesnt necessary do what people are on but what he likes, gotta admire that.

[@camui87]

Who's that random guy with the spikey jacket?

[@cjhaskickz]

He has two great sneakers the ASICS and Air Max 1/97

[@badaxtion1878]

Those black adidas with the fringe flowers were clean to me

[@Weebay_213]

That kid never played football in sambas

[@jcarter5521]

He’s not a fraud, overly hyped is very arguable a visionary and slight creative. R.I.P to Virgil, but he didn’t really sew or design garnets either, there’s so many facets of being a creatives that doesn’t get honored. Can’t hate on him for talking advantage of his situations, props to him. FYI Kanye doesnt design his sneakers either

[@KGProductions777]

Its so dope i'm in the more air episode where sean gave me a free more air tee and i picked up a bulls rap style tee along with showing us the process of the 97/1. I also met A$AP Nast that day and Trippie Redd on a different day. Thanks for everything Round Two

[@NotAGoofTroop]

IDC SHOUT OUT SEAN FOR TURNING UP RICHMOND VA. SUCKS YALL HAD TO LEAVE THE WAY YALL DID BUT MAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

[@ghostgetsbusy]

dude put flowers around the shoes....who would buy that?!!!!.....i agree with turtle man

[@Jvyyyx]

Remember when Sean was scamming in the dunk groups...

[@Tripledashhh_]

Man he used to sell me shirts and shoes back in round two days! Got my supreme 5s from there too man good days! He was chill then crazy to see all this happening now.

[@14spokenwords]

Sean singlehandledly saved Melrose but at the same time slowly destroyed it

[@Lurkartiist]

He made literally 1 good shoe 😂

[@dm-gf1rn]

Shit made a career off of it ill take that any day

[@StevenLandman]

why is there a creepy looking dude between every shot?

[@DyleoDeals]

You lost me at the “not a big KZbinr like Harrison & Qais” 😫😫😫 Sean has always held more weight than both of them regardless of sub count

[@Rusmiester]

So the famous for being famous until Nike reached out. Could have been anyone!

[@KhalilKathrada]

Truth

[@whosthatsteppinthecadillac]

Round two was the best show on KZbin for the culture, shame fake ass weird voice AI hater / drama freaks like this channel have taken over. Doing NOTHING for the culture and taking things backwards. Get a grip.

[@lgomez8478]

His recent drop with adidas is doing well, resellers are getting they money too charging 300+ 🤦‍♂️

[@TheMPTV]

he didnt even design the AirMax 97 by himself, it was his team who helped choose the colorway for him

[@curtisaallen]

I don’t know who this guy is, but I don’t think anybody is buying shoes because of him. The niche they are using him to target is so small it not worth investing in.

[@stefanmunteanu66]

That guy popping up... why?! It's not funny, the video would be better without him 🤞

[@richardferdinand9865]

so fuckin annoyed with those pop ups

[@5AMTV]

He made shirts "Less Boost, More Air" total FRAVD sold ovt for the bag

[@heynotsopas]

the 1-hit wonder of sneakers

[@j333x2]

the 97/1s “he designed” are one of the most over rated shoes ever. i really dont like a single shoe he was released so far.

[@marcop.525]

And now he dropped his best release adidas gazelle hemp to shout out this video 😅

[@CryptoFeez]

Bro my guy tripping already made this video

[@RAPIDSVISION]

Yeah he did it after me (and probably saying some bs as always 😬)

[@chrislowe8212]

I mean I remember the round two days watched every episode of the first few seasons on KZbin can’t hate him dude blew up an did his thing

[@josephflores2979]

U can’t call someone a fraud for collabing. Sure they should have more credit

[@bearzncrownz4198]

Bro when the air max came out people would sell them to round two and he would pay the moon for them

[@MainlyYeezy]

I've never seen a shoe of his I personally liked.

[@hahababsbynsjsn8980]

Drops a bunch of colors on a pile and calls it a palette... But hey.. It works, he makes money from it doesn't he?

[@kobewankenobi248]

*”Quaz Omar”* lmao

[@RAPIDSVISION]

😬

[@turkishairballer]

Virgil Abloeeeeweeee, Salehe Beeeemburrrrrry, and Meeeeeta. This guy can’t pronounce shit

[@StagedWorld-eb5ro]

Those 97/VapeMax blew the competition away... not even close

[@Nodes805]

Yes I'd have to agree this fruity palette of a guy is a bust.. a one hit wonder with the air max that every Hypebeast went crazy for.. other than that his other designs are cringey af!

[@JGuapo_]

Lol so y’all basically said his buzz decreased but he became more popular to the brands n more ppl wanted to work wit him tell me y’all don’t know somebody without saying it

[@The503factory]

How can you compare Sean with the 3 designers you mentioned he got nothing on them he’s 10 years behind them 😢

[@1kontrabida]

Sean's design didnt really catch my eye because their confusing n direction, people might like his stuff which i wish i can say the same we all have to remember it's all about your connection hence some people capitalize on that but sooner or your body work will unravel your real talent and sale numbers will show u that.

[@Chyeahokay]

Yeah his bike collars were dope, but Nike didn’t give him 100%free reign. His adidas work is awful.

[@YungBiggMike]

His harlequin volkswagon is tuff tho

[@taelew]

I’m so upset that I sold my pair; which I won in a in-store raffle when they released. Payed $170 after taxes and I sold them for only $550. Now, that same shoe is reselling for double that amount. I actually really like/liked the shoe, and was a fool for selling them. Definitely my biggest sneaker regret to date! As far as Sean Wotherspoon being on the same level as the 3 have hitters you mentioned in your video; absolutely not! But he definitely did his thing with the AM 1/97, even if he collabed wit his people 🫡

[@dripdaddy2192]

It always makes me cringe hearing Kanye being called a designer. Dude the guy doesn’t even know how to draw a shoe. That’s like calling Steve Jobs a designer

[@RAPIDSVISION]

We'll make a video about him and you might change opinion 👀

[@blankmandastankman]

It started “not so long ago”, in 2013 Bro that was a whole 10 years ago

[@raqi1487]

I think the goal of this guy is to post this type of videos in order to blow up. Discrediting people with their success with bad takes is shallow.

[@RaiJK3]

It’s a lot of angry souls in this comment section 😂

[@cheveronLI]

Homie, you couldn’t pronounce Ronnie Fiegs name properly. Clicking this video is the worst part of my day

[@IllMind19]

Adidas trash period. They need to adopt their trefoil logo full time and get rid of that 3 strip triangle logo.. its ugly af . N the 3 stripes only works selectively as well...

[@brycestout2396]

"Virgil A Blow"

[@NajeesModernlife]

Nothing he has done with out that team of taste makers that helped him with the air max has had the same success. And Nike doesn’t pay royalties obvious reason to dip.

[@BeKindGoVegan.]

Was not even his design what a FRAUD!!!

[@soniarezgui5361]

C’est vraiment une seconde chaine du rapids crew ou c’est juste un bootleg 😅

[@jdimas2011]

Those Nike 97s/Maxes were hella hot on feets. Too much corduroy. Basically couldn't wear them in Texas outside of January.

[@jesusochopa6760]

Hey man you're not giving enough respects to his actual designs, the color blocking on all his shoes actually really work. Only actual "flop" I would say would be his black super stars.

[@bangkokinc.4233]

Ego went to his head, he threw customer service out the door, I drove all the way from Texas to check it out just for the vibe and friendly people. But no lol LA round two is hella cringe, young ass kids acting smug. Dead quiet. Lol it was not a good first but man the end to a era

[@PeacefulPariah]

Give the guy a break, he's not the silhouette's designer. These are collabos, he's at the mercy of the shoe. His "97's" were cool bc the "97''s are cool." His Ronnie Fiegs's were cool bc the Ronnie Fieg's are cool. Most famous shoe designers will achieve 1 or 2 hits in a career.

[@dylandeg3347]

whos this clown in the leather jacket and messed up teeth that keeps popping in with his coffee cup?

[@hiruys]

Wow bro, you’re really going in on Sean. Where does all the hate come from?

[@ldgaulding24]

Basically he should have keep make things with the team and they all get the credit

Leave Sean alone. Damn lol mans went for the best option possible and clearly made something HUGE from that contest air max. Yall are so quick to judge. The video was great. Really well made tho

[@LightNWavy]

Met him a few times. He really is a good ass dude.

[@hlithal]

Way biased video. Making Sean out to be bigger than he is and we all know he isn’t or doesn’t care either. I’d never buy the adidas he’s made but i can appreciate em for what they are. He took an opportunity and elevated his self from before

[@fatherjush2231]

Honestly, they might be a flop for most people. But the truth is, most of the market is basic bitches with no style anyway. I fuck with the adidas, they’re cool. I always get compliments on my superturfs. Plus I can buy all pairs for cheap cause everyone sleeping on em!
