Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Ian Ginoza has worked in sneakers for decades, playing a part in collaborative projects with the likes of Drake, Tom Sachs, Beyonce, Ye, Frank Ocean, and more. He started the Honolulu sneaker store Kicks HI, then did stints at Converse, Nike and Adidas. Now, he’s the global vice president and creative director of pinnacle product at Vans. Ginoza has mostly worked in the background, opting to let his work speak for itself. Here, he tells the story of his life in the industry and how he ended up at Vans. Also, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss Bode x Nike Astro Grabbers and try not to discuss the Air Max Dn. The episode is a monumental one, the 200th overall episode of the Complex Sneakers Show in all its forms.

Which sneaker industry insider do you want to hear from next?
Seth Fowler would be awesome! A lot to talk about with his sneaker history, UA-cam channel, meeting Virgil, starting a company, sneaker thrifting, and building a collection of grail sneakers
Jesus loves you ❤️ Please repent and turn to him and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus is the son of God and he died for our sins on the cross and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out. Please repent and turn to him before it is too late. Accept Jesus into your heart and invite him to be Lord and saviour of your life and confess and believe that Jesus is Lord, that he died for your sins on the cross and that God raised him from the dead. Confess that you are a sinner in need of God's Grace and ask God to forgive you for all your sins through Jesus.
Jesus loves you. Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven.
@@drewvan19 Jesus loves you ❤️
Stash. Especially after the news of his AM95 retro coming out soon
Great episode! Guy had a lot of behind the scenes knowledge! Hey you guys gettin more weeks off then school teachers huh 😅😂, jk enjoy see you In 2 weeks

Folgers?
PFP = 🔥
Lol I had a Folgers caramel
@@mattervin8910one of the greatest albums of all time
One of the best episodes really. I’m guessing he doesn’t love being in front of a camera and all that but he and y’all killed it. And as a non skater who’s always loved it from a slight distance, they truly are the creators of so much. On a personal and societal level.
Growing up in Hawaii, kicks was the mainstay. Leilow was also so so cool. Jules is so knowledgeable. Thanks for having Ian on.
Leilow was a time 🥲
Worked for Ian and his partners when they opened the Guam Chapter store. Hafa Adai All Day!🤙🏽
Send the t-shirt.
@@brendandunnecomplex Kicks/Hi guam or stussy chapter tee?
Congrats on 200 episodes, this might be a personal favorite. Ian is a legend and he is rich in knowledge
Guy really did it all.
Ian was a great guest. Love the stories and history. I was able to buy the Off-White converse....but got my sizing wrong and bought a full size too small. Huge regret to miss out on my size but huge payout when I was forced to sell them. Crazy memories.
Hawaii represent! 🤙🏽 RIP Kicks/HI
No clue who this is but let’s get it

Stash, Adidas Consortium era, Footscape 360 era. Love this ep
These guys have so much knowledge on sneakers! Having a bunch of out of touch rappers on the sneaker of the year panel is such a shame
bought a pair of Haze Dunk Lows from Ian himself at kicks hawai’i upstairs makaloa. ❤
Happy 200th to the best show / sneaker pod to exist to have listened or watched all your episodes is an honor you guys are phenomenal love the chemistry & knowledge also huge shoutout to those who make this show happen behind the scenes when I hear that beat drop it’s an instant smile & you guys brought out wild fire kicks for this episode love to see it keep up the hard work fellas I seriously appreciate all your efforts in making this happen looking forward to what the future brings 🙏🏽
We need a Lupe Fiasco collaboration dunk low or sb . I'll take 3
Coffee and spliff. ☕️🇮🇹
Finally a little Vans love.... IYKYK Vans has consistently used high quality materials on the premium lines.... underrated 🔥
Miss the syndicate line
Kick game so properrrr !
Knew this would be so interesting
Such a cool dude man with insane history!
Amazing conversations guys! Great job!
never change welty u holdin it down still.
I miss this show so much already yall need to do like a 30 minute livestream every week
200 Episodes! Congrats you guys! And thanks for featuring the legendary Ian G! ❤️💯👌🏼😊
They're back! Congrats on 200 episodes!
Love the podcasts ✌🏼 helps get through the work day
Yes , we would use marker to cover the Union Jack if our parents bought us Reeboks as kids. Mcgregor was never wearing them obviously , just mainly the ufc apparel or training gear..not classic white and gum sole reeboks with a Union Jack.
Joe was right not to ask it on sneaker shopping! Kinda shows the difference between Joe and Brendan’s views on interviewing
Are we closer to Andre Agassi and Welty interview?
808 STAND UP 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Something that people don’t talk about enough is that in order to reach the that point you have to come from a certain level of affluence that way you can have the ability to gain “credit” with the fashion and sneaker culture. Welty, Brendan, and Joe all come from a middle class background. There needs to be more lower class representation in the culture. Much needed in this day and age.
LONG LIVE KICKS/HI
Best part of my morning listen!
Not thus ep unfortunately. Boring...
Great way to start a sleepy & rainy Saturday in Australia 🇦🇺
Love the show . With a guest with so many experiences , I felt like he didn’t have much to share .
GREAT ep!!!
Legend, RIP KICKS/HI
Been waiting all morning lfg!

One of my favorite episodes!
Ian Ginoza is a cool dude 😎
I love you guys and the content you create for the SNKR community THANK YOU
Nice to hear Guam mentioned... Hafa Adai All Day!! Any chance I can get some of that warehouse Guam Tribe gear?
such a special episode love the insight !
Congrats on 200, new shoe stands on shelves making the set look like Neimans
I know there’s only so much to talk about but i wish this show was longer
Yeah I think right when they get cookin. Shows over. Shows you these guys are lazy honestly
Doing it for the love of the thing, real talk. ✊
Welty double cuped on this Good FRIDAY!!! lol
great episode!!
Cheeeeee!! Long Live KICKS HI !
Lupe was at complex con 🔥
Wore the black/smoke grey/anthracite to Easter dinner Saturday evening. Matched them with the maroon/wine Nike crew socks. Got a couple compliments. Be easy, fellas.
Im bothered by the roll out for the Dn but honestly its a nice shoe if youre into airmax (outisde of OGs)
BIG 200
Strong ep
808>>>>>
Would’ve went with the TS AJ1 highs why purchase lows?… Offwhite Chicago 1s, Pine green 4s, and 🏆 Trophy room 1s.. wouldn’t wear them though cause they’re numbered. Probably just sit em in an acrylic box that way they don’t get dusty.
Ha I’m sure I’ve got that Nike air horn somewhere.
wow this was insanely good
Joe should have asked Irish flag question to Connor BOOOOO!
Brendon „let’s just pretend the air max dn doesn’t exist“ - 1 second later an ad break from Nike with its Air Max DN campaign hahaha
Sounds like a new sound editor. Y'all lemme know if ya have room for one more
beinghunted, freshnessmag, rthq, niketalk, arkitip. where do you get those by bobbito. going into an old sportsshop and asking the owner if he had something maybe from early 80s or 90s and to search for the grail. this was such an special era back then. thats absolutely true about more trades. there were the brand specialists. collecting old Catalogs or Postcards that were in the Boxes. laughing about the frist attempt of nike in the late 90s. and yes it is absolutely true with Skateboarding. started skating with Nike Flights (cause Airwalk and Vans were unaffordable back then as a young kid) cutted down the Vans HI cuz of the EMB Guys from SF. still have an issue from a Complex Magazine Winter 2006 with Carmelo on it. thanks a lot for this episode. Welty with the 5 Panel again? JLP i love the AIr Terra Humara from UNDFT. Brendan: nice born x raised (there are also on my List)
Peace from Austria!
RIP HUF, VIRGIL, MIKE CARDONA, JUSTIN PIERCE, KEENAN MILDTON AND HAROLD HUNTER.
Someone get the id on the jacket Ian is wearing
Air Max DN is a good shoe. People were mad that they didn’t do much last year with the Air Max Pulse. They redo and introduce an entire new air system and people are upset? I’m all in on the Air Max DN
not an entirely new system, only claimed so by nike. theyve used basically the same tech before
Is this the same show as full size run?
Where is Joe
We still do irish or italian flags over british reebok flags period
JLP!
Sense this guy is super respected in the industry, but this interview gave very little insight into what he actually does/has done at brand level. Lots of name dropping and broad statements without saying much.
I totally agree. Clearly he’s respected and creative but I had to Google him to actually find out what exactly he did with these brands and people. A lot of cooking and industry names but no details. Most stuff he didn’t remember. He was there. He helped. Then moved on. Ok.
I need the link to Brendan's carpet company plug
Joe….. My Boilermakers are gonna be taking that title this year. Your huskies are just gonna go back to Connecticut empty handed and placed second
State shoulda beat yall
I don’t care how many words you put together to describe your kicks, those boots are cheeks
The DN is a good shoe. I don’t understand the boys hate on it. I can easily see Nike pushing that silhouette this year with a collab or two 👀
Cuz they like free shoes and Nike ain’t give mustache lady a pair so he sour
they already went the Supreme route
🤙🤙🫡
Shawn Stussy and Frank Sinatra
This guy dont remember anything
Lol I was looking for this comment. All the cooking, dear friends and moving around can do that. Super chill guy tho who’s obviously well respected in the business. Just not much for details.
the more i watch, it becomes clear matt is a narcissist. arrogant, entitled, won't consider anyone's opinions but his own and always needs to be right. guy needs therapy. until then he'll continue to be such a downer on this show and i'm sure irl too.
the podcast its great but kinda feels like they started caring about sneakers after they got hired
I just had the Butch lady with the mustache on the right 🤱🏼👨🏼🦱

I don't
I’m not glad he’s gone but I could do without him. Sometimes he was a little clownish.
@remytron83 yeah and he made everything about race
@@albert_bareseI don’t miss him. But this is not true. 😂
I don't enjoy listening to this. It's easier with guests average enthusiasts can relate to.
Invite folks who can connect with the common man; less of this industrial/commercial semantic.
Idk bout this dude. Can't get past his voice and his energy is boring af 🥱
this guy is boring
Boring guest, get some real people from the sneaker culture on here smh
he is a "real person from the sneaker culture" though you just ain't tapped in
How long before we get some fake laughs and Born Again Christian talk?
Not long with these hippies
@@BookerT69 Lasted about 30 seconds before the laugh
the incessant name drops was cringe af. nobody including Ian cares u know industry names
