s. Come on, Odell. One thing I read is that your dad always. He kept you tied growing up with Jordans that's where you really started to be a sneakerhead. I'm pretty sure that's where it all started. You know, it comes together.

I wanted you to know all the new J's that were coming out. I have always been using. Nike, so I started really young with the shoes and he was hooking you up with some parents, you know, you only get one a year, but he went out of his way to get you all of them, that's what you were trying to do, you know, when those J's come. He I tried to get them whenever I could, so I was very lucky growing up. I got some of the ones that came out, not all, but I have, you know, the ones I want from the early '90s, three and four.

You were wearing a lot or those, your favorite, a quarter of my favorite and then I started to like the threes and fours a little more, before you return the favor to the pop, you get any shoe you want, does it hit you? Like me, I need these, I need those, you don't ask me for the shoes, but I sure send them some stuff and luckily we wear the same size now, so it's easy for him to come into the house, you know, pick up some shoes and just keep it that way. , the same size has to appear for him now yes, I heard over 200 air matches, that's right, this was a few years ago, you're a big Air Max guy, yes, there was a certain phase in my life where I was just using a model that has excellence, I feel like they can go with anything, you could dress them up, dress them down and I made it big in that collection.

You know, I'm pretty sure my dad has some of those too. Oh, I tell you. Had your own color of the SF Air Force One. We saw the Air Force One Lo from friends and family, but this is a real first design for you. What was it like collaborating on this utilitarian Air Force One Lo? This has always been a dream. come true, you know this is like everything growing up at Nike was everything and just being able to collaborate with the new utility just a color scheme that they had there and I just you know we flowed with our ideas and that's what came up. with and I feel like it came out pretty well, glow in the dark snake games, where did you get inspiration from everything they had there?

You know, insoles, different shoes that mix together and that's what we came up with. I'm really happy with this, it's crazy seeing your name on a sink growing up. You know, we were looking at unions and looking at all this and now I'm in a position where we have a little bit of ability to do some creative things. It's been a lot of fun, you know? I think there was a vibe on the cover of little Lane with the Air Force One Lowe's, you grew up in Louisiana and now you have your own Air Force One and that's crazy to you, even with all the praise you got.

I've had it, in general, just the Air Force was the shoe we all grew up with, they all had to be cleaned. You had a black pair, yeah, the middle one, you know, I mean, there's a shoe that I grew up with and we just take that design and make it a little newer and try to give it a little upgrade. We had Jarvis on the show and I asked him, you know? Now that Odell has the monumental deal with Nike, is he your plug? and he said: Listen if I need a shoe, that's where I go to get it, you connect the brother, of course, you know, if he raises him, any shoe he buys, especially family and friends, he's one of the first people on the list, yes. whatever you need, hit me, blow me, yeah I got it, we don't wear exactly the same size so, whatever you want to say, you know for sure, you can hit me, is there any shoe you ever have to fight to get it? closet, it's nothing I've missed, they do a pretty good job of making sure you get everything you should have gently, it's definitely something I enjoy, I love the shoes, I'm happy to be spanked tonight, sure, big.

I am a fan, he always said that the better you look, the better you play, you have always stood out. Do you believe in that too? I think it's like a zebra effect or whatever you want to call it, like there's a part of you that you feel. good, you look good, you're going to play well. I really believe in that. You know, there are times when I feel like I don't have the right shoes and I like to bother you a little. I think there's a certain role it plays. in them and how you dress and how you perform obj and the uninterrupted episode you said that kids asked for video games and stuff like that and you always asked for shoes back then they used to call me Academia when I was a kid because I played in a little bit of soccer. league I would always try to be like the new vapors de l'affaire or whatever yeah anything I can get like I've always been a sneakerhead now I finally have my own tweet anyway I searched on Google Academia.

No What is Academy? Academy and outdoor sports are really lively. Baseball glove in bed. Local shop. That, uh. SportsAuthority. And then you said you grew up watching Michael Vick and the joy of him. What was it like having your own shoe? I love it, you know? I'm looking forward to when you send me pictures or what I'm wearing this week and trying to get an idea of ​​what I'm going to do when I'm here with these, yeah, whatever the color. Whatever a plan where we are, it's like I get into a smaller framework, it's probably all going to one of my favorite David, my favorite, so I hear these feel like they were made for me, they feel like a success, yeah , and it's a takeoff from obviously.

Pippin, the fast beat, fits perfectly with the three lyrics, where did that come from? Like I said, a lot of the stuff we just all collaborated on together and we came up with this idea and they did something like this last year, it just fit. so perfect this year and the new design they had, I just liked it, I liked it from the moment I saw it and now you know how people in the locker room try to ask me to give them some and of course, I want to use them. them in the game so it's awesome to have that going now it's cool to have a teammate use your initials yeah and then we have like you know Agassi and LeBron take off so even now you're incorporating other silhouettes in they.

We absolutely just go with the plate that we made and the base and all that and just take different tops and make different designs. These are only some of them. I mean, this is a lot, yes, there are so many that I just started collecting them all. From my locker and I take them home and there's like a little work office that I have set up and all the shoes are lined up so it looks really good so I actually put them all away and we saw the closet, you even have more shoes in the . save some storage you think you're going to need another closet soon you'll probably need another closet soon I'll probably have to resort to a rumor in your closet and get rid of a bedroom or whatever just because this is pretty much what's needed upstairs, most of the room in the house, well we talked about everything, now it's the easy part, get the browser shelves, take home some shoes, let's do it boy, do I need to let them?

Knox's pair of shoes, I got you. Wow, these are here, yes, I guess Marta, from a car, yes. You need to talk to my guy and we got these that fit all three through Bing Bing at the bank, I got you, don't touch anything up so your total will be $1,500 and 48. Okay, thanks, go ahead and get up , Yeah. I appreciate it, I appreciate it, have a good day, so obj told me some great stories. Thank you very much for taking the time. Thank you.
