What's up, everybody? It's Joe Lupuma. You were listening. You were watching the Complex Sneakers podcast as always. I'm with my guys. First off, he's back. I'm back. Mr. Matt Welty. I'm alive. I'm okay. Thanks for everyone in their concern. Messages that they sent me over the past week or so. But yeah, we're here. We're back to my left. He didn't go anywhere. Mr. Brendan Donnelly. I mean, we didn't really even go anywhere. Like people get upset, you know, when, you know, it's like one week off. You know how few weeks we

take off in the entire year. Listen, we had some unforeseen circumstances, but we're back. Yep. We were here. I feel like we have so much to catch up on. I know it's been, it's only been seven days, but it seems like it's been a month. No, it hasn't. I've got to give you the same PSA. We're always here one week. Come on, man. And we have a lot left. Don't get it twisted. Listen, we've known the schedule for for months now. Every time we look at the schedule of how many episodes we have this year, we're going to be.

We're going to be here till December 29th, at least, with the amount of episodes that we have. Catching up to do what's what's been happening? I got the I got the union dunks in person. Those look so good in real life. The swoosh on those. You didn't get them. Oh, this is a rare moment. Another another time I'm left out. This is okay. This is a rare room. You put Joe's name on the Google Doc. I don't have access. There was a Google. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You watch the full size run episode. If you watch full size run, I got halfway. Okay.

There's reference to we got it. I get it into a Google Doc that union uses for friends of family releases, which wealthy and I are not on this time around, but we did still with the help of Chris Gibbs. Get a pair of union dunks and they look incredible in person. They look good and packaging is really nice. Oh, they did the whole. Yeah. Yeah. Shows a good episode. I was. I'm going to definitely catch up and I got to watch that. But yeah, Chris Gibbs full size run the dunks. Listen, union does great collapse. I'm waiting for the Cortezes. I mean, I go. I'm.

Love that shoe. I know a lot of people don't like it. But I did break. Didn't I say on the show something like there's not a dunk in 2022 that's going to move me or something like that. Yeah, you've definitely said that about dunks this year that you do your off it. It's that classic. We interview people. We think that we're off speakers. Then you hear the story behind it. You get reinspired and look. Yeah. One, one, one dunk that no interview can make it is a supreme dunk. I'll say that right now. I thought those were going to resell for less. I don't understand how many people I think they're five.

100 almost. Yeah. Just the, is it just the one colorway is all three or what's the. So you don't like the Brazil's at all. I mean, I like that colorway in general, but like, you know, especially the green and yellow go ducks, etc, etc. But every time I'm always going to spend the money on just a regular. Is it like the stormtrooperies sort of colorway that people were going for the most. What I'm black. I found the Brazil. I mean, we could look it up on the bay real quick. You know, you know, who the Brazil load dunks. We've said it. I've said it many times. I've got the best fit off. You can put you

on to dunks, but can't put you on to NFTs. Let me tell you another thing. It came in the mail. The Lorenzo G rainbow jacket. And by the way, his name is actually Lorenzo, not Lorenz, but you know, it's like Lorenzo G. Yeah. So I just, I just wanted to thank him for that. And that your own people. I've got three pairs of 95s from him. I made a comment. That jacket goes up. I think I have the 95s that match. No, actually was the five that that jacket matches the five. He did the off-white five. That's really good. Yeah.

People that don't know this Lorenz OG, we talk about him a lot on here. Yeah, it's a great alert. We're wearing Lorenz OG. Another pair of 95s on not this week's episode, which was de Mar de Rosen, but next weeks. Okay. Do we know who that episode is? Yes, but we're not saying. Okay. Okay. Fine. I did. I commented on his IG post as IG story, like a fire mode year, whatever, when he's like reposted your jacket. And he like made a comment to me. He's like, Oh, when are you going to join the club or something like that?

Come on, man. We'll jump you into the game. Man, but you came up that jacket's where we were in that jacket for the first time. Um, you'll see soon. Okay. You have to pay me by the time. Maybe by this. Okay. You have a plan. Can we talk about Supreme Jackets? Supreme Burberry? I love that stuff. I didn't get a chance yet. Okay. You haven't been to calls or morning. It just. Well, he needs the bucket hat. Yeah. We got to do everything in our power to get that bucket hat on his. Yes. You know what? So I love when Supreme

does all of these sort of like, uh, like football casual, like inspired collections with. Aquascott them. Aquascott them. Yeah. They did a cost. Yeah. Island. Uh, this is, to me, this is like wealthy getting back in the mother fucking back. Look at his wearing dunks. He's wearing Supreme. There's that. There was the barber collection. Yeah. Yeah. And but I love it. But then there's something about it. Sometimes where I'm just like, I just rather buy like the actual. Yeah. The actual burberry thing. Okay. I know what you mean, especially with all the logos.

But come on. The Burberry box logo tea. I saw the hoodie. I haven't seen the whole collection yet. So I need to like, all right. Fair enough. Fair enough.

What I've actually had on the way here. I had a lift driver and I can pull it. I took actually took a picture. You can put it in here. I walked up to his car and he had like a bunch of supreme stickers.

And you're like, my ride is here on the side thing. And then on the inside, uh, middle panel, he had a six supreme box logo stickers. Okay.

Pulled pulled off right at the time square with the box logos covered no whip. I love that. Yeah. He's like, oh, by the way, I had a bit of a dicey situation here, here at Times Square.

Where can we say where we say we've said before, right? The address is public. Yeah. The company is public. Oh, yeah. By some chairs. Hey. So the other day, I was leaving work. And I had with me a tote bag with a pair of sneakers in it. Got pressed.

And I am an aggressive J Walker.

How, you know, I'll do 45 degrees if I have to wait. So what's your, um, what's your split from going from street to street? What do you mean?

Like how, like, how many seconds does it take? Oh, what's the actual, I don't know. I don't know. But so anytime like the, the timer is winding down and I have the chance to just like, gun it, I will.

Oh, if it's like two seconds, you're like, oh, shit. But I'm, I'm, I'm feet away. Yeah. This is flashing and he's still going. I'm crossing the street right here in Times Square. I think like 43rd and Broadway. And somebody in a black car kind of like cuts through the, the crosswalk ahead of me, which, you know, you got to do in New York all the time, but it's still annoying. And maybe the time was taking down my response to that.

You go right to the person. So check this out. Check this out. It definitely escalated quickly, expeditiously. So sometimes it's like this. Sometimes I'll just like tap the car.

It's my hand. So I kind of like gently like knock the side of the car.

Wow, that's aggressive, dude. That's aggressive. Let me tell you about aggressive. And Brendan is not an aggressive person. Can we all agree to this? Yes, I'm, I am like the least
