The Complex Sneakers Podcast is co-hosted by Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty. This week they’re joined by Ibn Jasper, a Chicagoan who got his start cutting hair for artists like Kanye West and Don C. Ibn gives an inside look into the creation of Kanye’s unreleased Reebok shoe, the Nike Air Yeezy line, and his short-lived Louis Vuitton sneaker collection. He also talks about his own journey in footwear, from skating in Air Jordans to releasing multiple collections with converse. Elsewhere, the cohosts discuss West slamming Adidas for ripping off the Yeezy slides, Welty liquidating some sneakers, and recent travel.
