Summary

The Complex Sneakers Podcast is co-hosted by Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty. This week, they welcome Suraj Kaufman, owner and founder of Sneaker Room, a Jersey-based store known partly for its charity releases with Nike. Kaufman talks about going from being a reseller to getting on Nike's radar and partnering up with signature athletes like Victor Cruz and Kyrie Irving. Also, he discusses his role in the infamous Fat Joe fake sneaker saga surrounding the "Entourage" Air Force 1 and how he responds to resellers these days. At the top, the co-hosts react to the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s and Kanye West saying he wanted to meet with Michael Jordan.
