What’s your favorite pop culture sneaker moment?

@kickdreaming Місяць тому

HE GOT GAME. JAKE : “AHHH… HAHAHAHA HAAA” ! SALESMAN : “THESE ARE THE NEW AIR JORDANS.” JAKE : “YEA.. HOW MUCH THESE COST MAN?” SALESMAN : “$139. ONE FITY WITH TAX.” JAKE : “ONE FITY? WHERE THE HOLES AT?”

@bobdebuilda3877 Місяць тому

When the kids used to say "you got them skips on"😂 talking about some beat shoes, NOBODY talks about skips on this show man

@adamani08 Місяць тому

To this day it is still Buggin' Out. After all these years. That's still the best shoe moment in cinema. My son cracks up over that scene as well. "Yooo!" lol. And then when the instigators start razzing him about his Jordan's being F'd up. Classic stuff right there. Peace to all and stay safe.

THIS ISNT enough for Spike Lee . He’s a legend in the Sneaker community and deserves to be in an episode of the podcast to discuss his experiences .

@otakusamsay1953 Місяць тому

He was the 1st person to really introduce a culture of Sneakers into mainstream media. No other movie or show was really showcasing sneakers like that.

@jasonwolfe3252 Місяць тому

Most people don't know how much this man contributed to the legacy of Air Jordans. His commercials with Mike made most of us want the sneakers as much as watching Jordan play in them.

@d.felixphoto2260 Місяць тому

I graduated from Clark Atlanta University as a Mass Comm major and Spike Lee would come to our department all the time to talk to friends of his that were professors. One professor knew i was into sneakers and i would never forget walking into the department and them saying Spike was here. I ran back to my room and grabbed my Spizikes that at the time just were originally released. I got him to sign the hang tag and the shoe. He was such a cool guy and was shocked i had a pair on me out of the blue. Lol. This was before camera phones (well at least for me) i wish i had a picture to hold the memory
