[@deankhazanov7638]

Tans with the pink lining are for sure the best

[@sebastienc.2257]

These 3 guys (along with Trinidad) are literally the only 3 reasons why I watch complex Vids

Dope Podcast, very happy it’s on YT now!

[@patrickpollard2510]

[@nxb05]

Finally got video. This podcast and all us listeners deserve video content. Thank you guys for allowing us to relive the memories and still keep us learning about the future. Being humble and growing your brand is easily seen in all of your work. Continue to do your thing and be authentic. Beyond thankful for you three and I know I am not alone in saying THANK YOU! 🙏🏼 Mad love from the dirty Dino inland empire California!

[@a_shortcircuit]

It’s amazing that you’re releasing the podcast on KZbin because the visual help is awesome to picture some of the pairs that are not that common. Anxious to see your first guest in this new format. One question I would like you to answer, is how you see the sneaker game overseas, for example in Latin America.

[@k2nxl]

FINALLY! The set is dope!

[@michaelmuse109]

I have listened on Spotify forever but this is way better to see

[@MarkusH91]

Love to see another video show!

[@darrinbisson8914]

I’d really like to hear your guys’ thoughts on bots - or devote part of an episode to talk about skateboarding culture’s impact on street wear/sneakers. This episode was dope - so happy you’re doing a video podcast! Keep up the good work!

[@rikomovies]

09:59 that laugh lmao! love it

[@Sneakahead555]

Man there is nothing better than this ! Pure sneaker talk and amazing stories to go with it Love when you guys get together for these podcasts ! The amount of knowledge all of you guys have is beyond dope 🔥 Wish #Dad was here for this one though but nonetheless a dope interview as always

[@on10toes]

This is great! A segment where you discuss shoes forgotten in history would be an insightful discussion.

[@dangeric_]

Finally seeing the emotions next to hearing them ♥️

[@ReivaxMr]

The way Joe says Mario cart is the way my mom says it. It’s great 😂

[@sevespas]

and now i can finally watch it. lets goooooo

[@enoch.mirzoyan]

needed more welty in my life

[@DannyBatista]

Video is the WAY! That’s why I’m always doing live edits and photography/videography tutorials on Insta!

[@CJHalliday]

Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne do not look like they wanna be on camera 😂😂 but keep it up boys, i love the show\podcast

[@omarmac1]

I need the hoodie chronicles podcast ...like yesterday. Lov the show.

[@SidMascardo]

I'm glad they brought up the question about what a person does with their shoeboxes if they kept it in a container because I've always wondered that haha

[@chasetiemeyer1056]

FINALLY.

[@harryprasanth]

Love this ❤️

[@nhlanhlazwane9465]

Brendan the Instigator "Did you think so and so knows who you are"...lol!

[@nicodepazburneracct8764]

I was definitely one of the people that would get tight every time y’all would show off the zoom snippet on your insta stories

[@Jeffreynelius]

This is awesome

[@adrianmyers2261]

Finally on video consistently

[@ianzelaya635]

We need a on foot cam

[@ASAPSodie]

Invested in the drop fronts recently. But still wanted to keep the OG boxes so I bought a few big ass boxes and just packed my shoe boxes in those boxes. I only got like 65 pair so it worked out without taking too much space up.

[@eddyantunez3753]

I wish I can do a video with complex because I like sneakers

[@ispykeyourface]

Fckn class episode. Super entertained.

[@LamesJowery]

Yoooo that Cudi issue borderline changed my life lol. It made me want to buy my first pair of jordans and it completely sparked my interest in streetwear.

[@samcauston9884]

@welty we are watching and noting the fits. No repeats!!

[@jayflores6206]

FINALLY !!

[@markphillipsww6981]

[@saulvaldez1886]

Gave that boy some Oreo 4 beaters 😂😂😂

[@cedrickluge8854]

New studio is way better now ✨✨✨✨

[@1Gdcedc1]

Gramps with the heat!

[@gfeast4518]

I think it would be cool to do some sort of vlog style show simulator to FTD where they follow Welty going to a soccer game and getting kebabs or joe and Brendan getting Italian food, even Trinidad traveling

[@NekoDontKnow]

I have a idea drop fronts that fit the box so you can see the labels also

[@2Quick4Youu]

Good morningggggg

[@FloridaMan786]

I used to hate Brendan dunne, but now I like him. I like that he’s not into the hype shit and he’s just very well educated as far as sneakers. He’s a cool dude.

[@stevergranados]

These podcast are what's been missing in my life

[@youngrob420]

It looks like u guys are paralyzed by the waste down.!!!! 😂still love you giys

[@michaelobrien1019]

Pumped for this coming to video! My question is which cities are slept on for their influence on sneakers?

[@BlackWave54]

Can't wait till season 2 when they get a new set

[@nofameculture]

Great episode guys!!! What was the email to submit questions for the show? I need the wave runners!! Lol

[@zuology3437]

I look forward to the episode where you have trinidad as the guest with the cameo editor

[@lendalejohnson4866]

Yes

[@staytrippy11]

Hell yeah 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@HiHATZ0]

Insane

[@mromero99]

Also does anyone know where you’re able to submit your question to win the shoes?

[@seank997]

In person!!!!!!

[@zefanbautista7357]

damn is that alex caruso in the kanye fit photo? 😂

[@ponkbart]

solid

[@gaberiv17]

Speaking of sneaker boxes saw this person on Tik Tok that builds giant replica sneaker boxes like Nike and Yeezy. They have clear tops and shelves with lights and turf where you can show case shoes. I would want one of those

[@Lordchino10]

where can i summit a question! much love guys 💜💜💜

[@marlinthrower5137]

good video

[@malcolmXanaX]

If you're legs somehow disappeared, would you still collect sneakers or shift to elaborate ascots and racing gloves?

[@FELIPE8226M]

😂🤣

[@FELIPE8226M]

They make prosthetic legs duh
