DJ Clark Kent on Wearing Brand New Sneakers Every Day for 12 Years
www.sneakerwatch.com/ - It's no secret the influence that Air Jordans have had on birthing sneaker hype. But who's actually responsible for the hype? Is it Michael Jordan? Is it Nike? Is it the shoes? Or is it the man who originally asked the previous question? If you ask DJ Clark Kent, he will likely side with the latter.
According to the legendary DJ and sneakerhead, Spike Lee made people pay attention to Air Jordans and could be considered the father of sneaker hype altogether. Kent claims that at the beginning, only sports guys were into Air Jordans, but it wasn't until Spike Lee's appearance in the Nike ads for the Air Jordan 4s that the average kid started to pay attention. Clark Kent goes on to say that Spike Lee made the shoes become a character through their appearance in She's Gotta Have It and Do The Right Thing.
"You didn't even care that Jordan was in the commercial," said Kent, while highlighting the "Is it the shoes?" question was geared entirely towards the shoes and not the best basketball player on the planet. Clark Kent also questioned the success Converse could have had if the same question was asked during Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's time with the brand.
Check out the rest of the interview and find out more about DJ Clark Kent's personal collection and how long he's been wearing a brand new pair of sneakers daily.

Herb type cat
Fat mayor was better
You’re right it is sad when a kid cant go into a store and buy the shoes he wants ….. says the 40 odd year old guy standing in the middle of a room full of shoes that no one can get 🤷🏻♂️
I thought Vlad was interviewing him at first 😂 great history though!
Casinos are horrible places
Wale should be wear Travis is
Derrick rose look just like Twista
Absolutely nobody bought those Mayor Fila's 😂
I cant stand this guy fat or skinny
Jadakiss tell him laugh
If you haven’t, check out the video he did w Skee. Jordy is a legend.
Sounds like vlad tv interviewer
RIP that chair!
🧢
Collection goes crazy
4 3 6 5 14 that's my favorite
Go hold omarions pocket 🌈
My guy moody as hell. Zero appreciation
That fake humble shit don't impress nobody. Typical oldhead behavior.
2:33 nigga couldn’t hold it in 😂😂😂
Camron just said this 😆
Dope collection of Lebron the goat.🔥🔥🔥
Vlad ass annoying asf
You know Mayor is so happy to have drop front boxes. Must have been such a pain in the ass to have all those containers.
Wonder how he felt when the Columbias dropped again
Rip to sneaker watch this was a good channel
2024 anyone ?
Is he speaking English
This dude used his access to the kitchen to make Air Force One fusions
did you even know there was a kitchen before watching this? 😂
@@06mikerome Hahaha Im the real 🧑🍳 f what you heard
Who is this guy & wtf is his occupation and why does he act like an NPC? Nobody even knows who this guy is outside of sneakers and he acts like he reinvented the Wheel fuck out of here.
3:10 $1500 for a used turtle dove size 8 now going for $114 on Goat
Still have mine in 2024 🔥
RIP to this channel.
Let me get them kicks 🤭🫵😂✅ let me know when you are ready to gym i got ya later im glad u happy birthday hope you have a wonderful time 😮
SAY THAT AGAIN NOW🙅💯💯😂😂😂 600-700🌚
He never said what he said because of how much they cost or potentially can cost
The good old days when shoes were shoes 😢
Is that vlad talking?
the crazy part about this, the all red 11, was the 11 that year
Ha ha i find it funny for a guy who has all that money and owns alot of sneakers he cant tell if any of them are fake or not he got got for buying a fake pair of sneakers he just doesnt want to addmit it
I didnt always liked mayor. But he grew on me. And the fact he loves AF1s as much as i do. I still think the AF1 is the greatest sneaker ever. The mids and high are fire too. But the low tops are flawless and timeless. You can never go wrong with some AF1s
Paris dunks going for 80k now…
Two of the greatest of all time!! Loved those old bullets Knicks battles.
What happened to this channel
Them burgundy 5 dropped in 2023 but they sat. Probably still sitting
