Billie Eilish Goes Sneaker Shopping With Complex

Uh, what's up everyone? I'm Joe from the

complex

. We're in New York City at Stadium Goods with Billy Eilish. I love

sneaker

s and I love burritos, so I'm going to do some

sneaker

shopping

today, see what feels and what doesn't, and then hopefully. she's going to buy some sneakers yes sir come on billy I read that when you were much younger you never looked for women's sneakers, you looked more for men's sneakers in the smallest size it was kind of like your buying pattern for shoes of man and girl. They're stupid, honestly, they look really stupid, they're small, I like my shoes super thick, I don't know, I feel like a lot of guys feel the same way about girls, I feel that way about shoes, okay, it's like I want my foot . to not look like a normal foot I want it to be like I don't have big feet but a little thick a little thick I like the thick ones we have the classic ones but you also like the bright ones you like some of the color combinations that may not be exactly like the gatorade gatorades that's more your speed than even sometimes the classics I feel like a lot of shoes don't commit to being what they are I feel like there's so many things like uh let's make this color And I feel like we should keep making this color in this color and that we like all these different colors to commit to this.

There will be people who won't like this at all, but it's like out there, you know what I'm saying, definitely, yeah. I love these things that we've done over 140 episodes, we have a lot of people getting credit. Riff Raff has never gotten credit for putting someone in Jordan's and I read that Tiptonia, my Jordans to you, was something you started thinking about, not that. Was it like I didn't even know they were Jordans until I heard it was like what are Jordans? My little butt. I don't know when that was, but I remember going to a thrift store when I was 11 or something and I remember.

When I walked through the door all the way, on the other side of the store there was just a big shoe rack, yeah, and all these beat-up, beat-up shoes and right like in the middle before these spores and got beat up, yeah, they were. These little red ones, oh my gosh, I screamed and ran to them and you know, I didn't grow up with a lot of money so it's not like I could ever afford them growing up so finding them at the thrift store was They're huge, I swear Oh my god, they look like this when I wear them now because they are so worn out.

I have never worn a shoe more than this one. I love it, there are so many elements, the fact that it's like laces and Velcro. and the color and I don't even wear them that much that I sprayed my ankle with them once and I kept wearing them, you know, I kept wearing them and then you know, going back to this design that has a lot of twists and turns you look at the shoes and you almost like the challenges. I love challenges. So, like these, I saw you wearing those recently. One of the most underrated shoes.

I feel like even Jordan's are people who hate that stuff. That's different because we're automatically trained to think that anything that's not what we're used to is ugly, it's unnatural and the fact that these, you know, they don't have laces that you think of. They do it underneath, but you don't know that you know it's like it's Velcro and it's that weird, like Chinese handcuffs or whatever, yeah, really, yeah, that's the stuff, even with those you know, it seems a wrapper. like a burrito yeah hey bro I love burritos I love sneakers and I love burritos so I'm good Billy we're talking second hand but you also used to shop at Target and put together outfits do you think that at a young age prepared you for things like that?

I'm sure I'm putting stuff together now, I mean, I used to get t-shirts and cut them up and turn them into who knows what would make pants, shirts, jackets, headbands and things that I remember getting like a couple of superstars, okay? I took off all the laces, okay, I cut the tongues, turned the tongue to the other side of the shoe and taped it, not even tape, I think I sewed it on, wow, and it worked, if you could walk in them . I didn't really walk with them, but I tried and did it. I mean, I was proud to have created it myself up to that point.

Like many people, they avoid customs. I feel like you're a fan of custom sneakers. Yes, I like them. the idea of ​​having something that no one else has, you can't go buy it and I mean obviously you can go and buy almost any shoe there is in the world and I was just saying I love the 15 more than any other. another shoe in the world, right, one of the most hated Jordans, people hate that shoe and it's your favorite, it's my favorite shoe and besides, no one wears 15 because it's so weird, oh my god, I love the things that people hate, so Murakami. spread the garage cover working with him must have been amazing hey yeah yeah he's like on another planet honestly I remember we went to Tokyo he took us to a studio it was like a dream like I just walked in.

I thought, oh. This is crazy what I like ASAP yeah I saw it in the shoot where you wore these and you love chunky shoes that have shapes so you're a big fan of this. I feel like this is the shoe that I've been wearing the most right now, you see how big it is, yeah, and it doesn't matter what size shoe you are, it's more like it just fits your foot, and that's why I have something like this with women's shoes. I go to the stores and ask if you have this in my size, you know, in a men's shoe, never a woman's, because it's like it's very flat and low to the ground, that's why with vans it's like small penis energy, Yeah, I didn't hear it.

I'm not a big fan of I Don't Know What I've Tried. I see someone with vans and I say, oh, they have a small dick. We talked, you know, we talked about how you have problems with how women are. The shoes look and I think I read that a Jordan executive said there may be something to help with the women's line. I mean, maybe so, sir. I just like the idea of ​​being able to go into a store and be able to say. you got this in my size and it's yeah yeah I don't wanna listen no I love listening yeah I hear you in life but also with shoes mostly with shoes did you ever think about the same girl who was cutting superstars and getting six?

Jordans from the dollar store would have a chance to work with that brand, no, what, no, not at all, are you kidding like Takashi Murakami, crazy, what, it's crazy to think about because I mean, like I said , I grew up not being able to pay for it. that and now I'm working with the people who created it, that's crazy, that's amazing and it's like I didn't know, okay, we can't wait, we'll be watching to see what they cook up together. I talked about everything now it's the easy part get the browser shell and see what you're going to take home so whites maybe yes sir okay thank you look at the bottom which is hard and this combination of colors is crazy to me, oh, halloween. halloween joints do you like halloween? i love halloween i love being scared i wore them until they turned brown but that's how you're supposed to wear them i know so they gave you a vibe so you gotta get them i'm going to get them, i'm going to get them okay billy you total is 2,388.72 cents thanks raymond anytime see you soon so billy came over and told me some great stories.
