[@ruffsnap]

46:18 -- I still LOVE my Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 "Pixel" shoes. I've had them for like 2 or so years now I think and wear them often and they still work great!

[@Marina-wi3rs]

Thank youuu for the time stamp!!

[@teadybear626]

The episode, and Conversation that I’ve been waiting for !!!! I need every single shoe that they brought up to be retroed.

[@johntrimble9875]

Do you guys enter raffles? And if so what was your last and biggest win?

[@sopheaem7392]

Love y’all and this podcast, esp when you guys reminisce of the past! Sneakers hit diff back then. I worked at Finish Line in HS 99-00 line JLP and I loved those air max 120s! Keep up the great work

[@shaquanbradley2542]

Who has more New balance sneakers Welty or Dunne!

[@hydro9652]

31:28 what are these og sneaker accounts you talk of?

[@AXXXXA]

Talaria Flyknit High in black might be my favorite Nike shoe ever. I wear it constantly. Extremely comfortable, durable, and easy to slide it to without undoing laces. The ankle hasnt stretched at all. It’s got Defender water repellent tech. I wish they made a full on waterproof Goretex version. Hate every other colorway they made though.

[@dubras1]

JLP Is the glizzy goblin

[@alexkonmv]

They need to bring back the white grape 5s

[@Bdk2036]

What happened to Trinidad James

[@thehomiespirit]

Welty quick with the Elevation Rhythm merch!

[@dirtydiesel]

I’ll speak this into existence. Nike needs to retro the Air Go LWP

[@ayekaloji]

i know for a fact i’m gonna love this episode before it even started just off the title alone. question: could you do one episode discussing some of the best basketball shoes from the past and present?

[@Sneakahead555]

Loving the kick game as always ! Man, such beautiful topics today The Flyknit racer era was amazing ! Still the most comfiest sneaker i own. Always wanted more Very dope episode !

[@enriqueworthy4481]

Black laser 4’s. 😢

[@deltronfloyd6241]

Omfg, I had the water khukini'$ chlorine colorway... with a Sean Jean Outfit with the same print at da cuffs and on the shirt..... I'm talking 01' High School days

[@gee_Ovechkin]

Sneakers that need a retro are the Nike Flightposite 3s, the Reebok Shroud, the Nike Zoom Payton 2 and 3s, Nike Air Max Duncan 1, the Nike Turbines, the Nike Foamposite Max (Silver) the Nike Air Bakin, the Air Jordan 10 Steal, and the Nike Air Morph.

[@milkydud]

The 13 was the jordan I missed as a late 80s baby and 90s kid. The 12s I had every colorway plus 2 pair of the flu games because my air unit popped in game like a week after buying. Ohhh the bad glue marks I remember. I grew up n da 90s with all the flights and reebok classics. Had my 1st pair of af1 mids back then. Became a shoe enthusiasts around the time ai came out with his team answers in a blue like the flint 13s. The 9s were my 1st multiple jordans in a year for school and court.

[@Mr.Vega4]

Alright, so I'll keep posting this on every episode in 2022 until eBay and Complex let overseas folks participate in the giveaway... If we can sell on eBay and pay fees, we should be able to participate.

[@craiggorman1685]

Yesssss joe the turbulence.......amazing shout i had the og grey white and purple

[@CanadianPaxman]

The face when you wanted a pair of the HTM Mercurial Free Flyknit SO BAD and the boys say who cares about this shoe in 2022. Me. Its me.

[@WayneLiu945]

Man I still have those Coca Cola Kukini.....they are crumbling tho lol Please bring back air zoom haven B

[@elliotsiegel8059]

oreo 2.0 flyknit with the tech fleece was my uniform, love that welty copped with his first complex check. Been watching for a while but the flyknit talk is what made me engage. i love the recognition of the mercurials and magista lifestyle sneakers even though the execution of those models arent the best. Which of the jlp welty and drunne have the yeknits?

[@Frank7G]

How you call Def Jam Icon a wrestling game 🤦🏽‍♂️ EPIC FAIL

[@rljay10]

What sneaker would you guys say made you a sneaker enthusiast? For me it was the jordan 1 in 1985. I was in 3rd grade and my friend in school had a pair and I was hooked in from there.

[@on10toes]

JLP rerocking his Jordan 9’s when they were beat is crazy dawg. I need an Air Wintrailia retro. I know my pair gonna collapse on me one day.

[@stuartswanton1676]

I'm exactly the same as Welty, wanting to get new pairs but can't justify adding them at the moment so I'm selling a lot of used pairs via Klekt to make space and finance them. Having pairs as part of the collection is nice but when I only wear them once or twice a year and could better use the money then I'm letting them go.

[@FreeTheColonized]

I’m doing the same I haven’t worn my foamposites in like 3 years and just letting them go. Is kiekt better as a seller than ebay in your opinion

[@stuartswanton1676]

@Hoodie sorry just seen this! Yeah for me it’s more straightforward. I’m in the UK so literally I just list the pair with a few photos (if used) and when they sell the courier will either collect from me or I just drop it off at a newsagents near me

[@jvsting531]

Great episode as always. Bring back the rejuven8 and the precursors of that shoe the sved something I can never pronounce it

[@jben11]

Brendan be looking like Harry Potter now with the scar 😂 KUTGW!!

[@shady2493]

The best thing about Salehe Bembury is that he thinks he discovered Hiking🤯😒

[@craiggorman1685]

They brought the air max2 light back which for mewas a grail for me, id love the 1996 model though

[@rubz_san8774]

If they retro the prestos frequently, they can definetly rétro some flyknit chukka/racer/trainer

[@sjeverton]

Ineva woven is a pair I've always wanted and just haven't pulled the trigger on regular eBay search tho

[@craiggorman1685]

Also whats the deal with the 96 retro they recreated the 96ii and clearly they have the mould for the og scream greens now thanks to supreme so where are they

[@AvalancheBT]

I think my favorite part of this podcast is the new vocabulary I learn each week haha. There’s always at least one word (probably Brendan who says it) that I don’t know and have to Google every time.

[@craiggorman1685]

The air max 360 also needs a retro the 360 vapormax just wasnt enough

[@nirvskiuno1]

Which sneaker was your hardest cop but most memorable ?

[@craiggorman1685]

And also the navy melon slice air max 95s from 2003

[@craiggorman1685]

We need an air 180 ultramarine retro with a recrafted shape and big bubble

[@BookerT69]

38:58 I’m wearing these right now at the gym. Just took’em out the box Joe

[@damongoldfoos8307]

AZF 95 need a release, Turbulence is the NOCTA

[@parkergalloway4533]

Have Sean wotherspoon on and then have Brendan fight him

[@alexkonmv]

Lol Pat wears a lot of white shoes! He had a week where he talked about Hokas!

[@imnotsurewhy]

Brendan's Harry Potter scarr looks sick

[@junglecatdj]

Need the 1993 Air Force High to come back

[@lincolnrorie5234]

I won a leather jacket from pepsi points

[@craiggorman1685]

You need to contact me guys regarding nikes

[@mus31]

Will Nike ever bring back their Ultra series?

[@TseStanley23]

For about bringing back "Air zoom citizen" one of the highly voted for Virgil to make an off-white version before passing.

[@africasupreme3]

Nike Roshe Run Slip-On

[@kevincollins8620]

3:16 I was in full Stone Cold gear.

[@krismelendres3266]

Im a adidas Guy but if they will re release Flyknit racer Again. I would love to buy that sneaker. Idk why they discontinued it. Man that Sneaker looks so good and Light on feet.

[@pacoreyes5111]

Oh man Brendan I’m in Idaho, I missed my chance

[@rubz_san8774]

No love for the Roshe runs ??😂😂😂

[@akeembenjamin216]

Can you guys talk about nike id a little?

[@snkrvision]

Brenden made $73 on some Nike AM Zeros?? Naw no way. those flopped extremely hard.

[@BookerT69]

Jordan 17 is top 5 Jordan ever

[@PokeSteven]

Two things! I would love to see Mr. Foamersimpson welcomed to the show and also any Air Trainer besides what they have for this year.

[@AXXXXA]

My retro request is the Nike Air Zoom Miler in White/Black/Red(Orange). 2004:ish. I had them at the time. Kanye wore them in the New Workout Plan music video. I’ll take that color, the Lance Armstrong Yellow ones were good, and some new modern colorways with better materials. Suede/mesh version. That’s my grail, they pop up on Ebay is near mint condition sometimes but never in my size.

[@savinecycles]

Nike Son of Lava Dome need to come again

[@freshlizard1039]

WELTHY WEAR THE SAME JEANS EVERY SHOW

[@BookerT69]

Glizzy gladiator gobbler

[@rawsanity27]

I got 2 amazing sneakers that are both made of Flyknit. The Nike Off-White Hyperdunk & Nike Kobe 9 Low Moonwalker. They both so beautiful. Happy to have them in the Collection.

[@drewhenni2277]

I’m officially addicted to these 3 guys KZbin shows. Sneaker Shopping, Full Size Run and this show. Luv Joe for being a G, Welty for being a begrudging gatekeeper and Dunn for going after Narduae !!

[@sebastienc.2257]

I can’t quite get into Sneaker Shopping when the guest isn’t a sneaker person it feels a little awkward. But these guys are definitely what gets me checking complex.

[@BookerT69]

JOE! Getting that KICKS SLAM issued signed by DMiles and Q is awesome!!!! I actually bought the issue in store when I was in 9th grade but whatever

[@jz5791]

Sneaker talk is very very good!! Don’t skip it for name dropping or culture insiding! You blend the worlds of being connected, getting hooked up yet portray as everyday people thru your roots, your expressions of joy for being lucky in a hookup, plus retelling stories of grinding, or wishing, and upscale guests. It’s a well balanced blend. Don’t let it slide to overconnected, high expectations, and general douchebaggery! My size is 10.5 and btw I’ve searched for the eBay and question thing multiple times but never find so what’s the deAly boys??!

[@kylebyrne4911]

S/O Welty giving the Aussie Presto some love. Also Brendan is 100% correct about the Coke Air Kukini being avaliable via trade in point type system. If i remember correctly they only did 100-150 pair's or so.

[@gfeast4518]

I’ve always worn skate shoes so I would like to see many of them retro, but it’s always weird with the legality and attaching pros names to it. Happy I got the koston éS release and can’t wait for more

[@michaelmangione3625]

sand 4 forest green 14s

[@TheHilltopperNation]

The Flyknit sock sneakers were actually insanely comfortable. The lunar epics were maybe the most comfortable shoes i’ve ever owned

[@marcuswright4787]

Copped the History of Air pack 180s when they came out. Dope shoe but impossible to keep clean. I’d love a fresh pair though.

[@sopheaem7392]

What’s is your fav Finishline exclusive shoe from back in the day or your fav pair of shoes you got from FL?

[@Ghostdragon20]

It’s crazy to see all the hate on the fly knit Mercurials and stuff hahahah. Like I agree bold design but that shoe really helped me in my excitement towards sneakers and breaking barriers with design. And the ones that bend when you aren’t wearing them. Those went hard!!!

[@sbarbozag]

38:40 worst take

[@tmilite11]

Definitely enjoy the episode just you guys chopping it up but really enjoy when you have a guest too. Maybe Mubi a full size run alumni worked at sns and now is a reebok. Would be a great interview

[@BLURZMATIC]

Jorts are back

[@ronniemanning1157]

I had the Magista cleats and wanted the shoes to match but my parents instead got me the Mercurial Superfly Frees in blue and white. They were awesome at the time with some cuffed blue school pants, it was a fit.

[@dgrant1007]

I regret not buying the Nike Zoom JST off eBay a few years ago. I need those so bad. 4.2 ounces

[@canonogic]

What is nike shoe sismilair to any of the recent popular NB releases? That will be a model thatll get retro'd next by Nike

[@travisbutler1195]

Complex sneaker podcast keep the vlogs coming love watching the vlogs keep them coming for real 💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@teknique8292]

This is in the top three best episodes of all time. I love when these three talk about shoes it’s better than any interview or any other episode. I just love hearing them talk about their old stories.

[@inductionrecords]

I want Nike to retro more Dunk SB lows and Air Force 1 Jewels.

[@AnthonyMan]

Black/red flynit racer is my favorite shoe of all time.

[@kevinmascarinas4142]
