If you are familiar with Complex’s “Sneaker Shopping” series of videos, then you know how crazy some of the shopping sprees celebrities will go on when the cameras are rolling. Who that saw it will ever forget Ric Flair’s epic episode?
The most anyone has ever spent on one of these episodes is Brazilian soccer star Neymar who dropped a whopping $18,623.
44 during his crazy spree.This week, Complex decided to invite Lord Disick to do a little sneaker shopping, and with his family ties to Yeezy sneaker mogul Kanye West he brought a unique perspective to the episode.
Disick and host Joe La Puma visited Stadium Goods in New York City and talked about, among many other things, people wearing Adidas because of Kanye and why he changed his style from formal to casual.
On his love for streetwear:
“I love all that stuff but I do like simplicity, things that are kind of plain. Notice I only have one car, one watch—I’m a very down-to-earth guy. But I do really like very simple stuff, like white shoes — I’m wearing a tracksuit and I’m not 20, but whatever…”
On Yeezys/Kanye West’s influence in sneaker culture:
“It’s his passion, and obviously it shows correctly because people die for his shoes. It’s unbelievable we live in a world that people are gonna spend $8,000 to walk in a shoe. I could see if someone wanted to spend $8,000 to walk in my shoes for a day, but that’s a little different.”
