its amazing that you actually look at the comments. I applaud you and your team on giving us insight on how the greats of the industry started and progressed in their respective traits. Especially since these guys pretty much helped shape the culture.
if they're charging 20%, their margins have to be small, unless they're buying at cost. regardless, great to hear about someone creating something new and hearing their story and journey
The struggle wasn't that hard for him if he had the money to live in Japan for a few years by himself. I noticed that a lot of the people they interview already had a little start up money. I'm not knocking the hustle but let's call a spade a spade, it's easier to do big things when you have a little fall back money. So far the majority of the people that Complex is interviewing have a little bit of money to hold them down. I love what they are doing thou for the most part...
It's true when you have ca$h from selling a start-up company too, ha. As McPheters said he had ends to do this. Fieg of Kith seemed to have strong financial connects to hold him even if he claim to "not have much money" in his family. Yet he turned down an envelope of $$$ to work in a sporting good store, hmmm... yeah Felix agreed, no diss to them but starting the 100 yard dash at 70 yards must be nice.
Exactly, no hate involved I respect the hustle 110%! But like you said starting the 100 yard dash 70 yards in already isn't really much of a risk. I respect their work ethic, as a hustler myself I love to see people chase and catch up to there dreams. I just don't like people to paint a picture like they were living out of their cars like Tyler Perry. Talk about coming from nothing, Tyler was dead ass homeless, now thats who he needs to be interviewing. People who came from SHIT, that inspires someone like me because I also come from SHIT and I'm not to proud to say it. I believe that if most people were given some start-up money to work on their dreams we would have a lot more successful people in this world, but for the majority of us we have to live in the real world of busting our asses for every dime and connect that we make.
I sense this nyc-middle class-whiteboy-goes-from-Hip Hop-fan-to-'street'-designer success is a symptom of the current exclusive sneaker craze. This lifestyle birthed in Black & Latino neighborhoods is percieved as a lucrative opportunity and quick insertion into the hip circles especially if you can't rap or DJ very well (though that hasn't stopped others). Supreme, Kith, Stadium Goods and numerous other brands founders' the same trajectory of being skaters with a curiosity / involvement in Hip Hop culture and apparel is an opening. Notice how each of these guys has a partner with connections and a more commercial interest in the products? They even look the same (ha) and probably have cultural similarities... I'm not saying everyone has to start dead ass broke in the gutter to stardom & millions for this series. The stories are still inspiring even if they got it dropped in their laps as a teen. Just be more honest in titling. An example can be shown in Todd McFarlane's story in Blueprint. His youth background isn't as important as that he started as an artist for dominant publishers Marvel & DC and was able to create Spawn and Image Comics in the midst of those 2 powerhouses and fight to the top. He disrupted the game legitimately. Still all a great series,
I need them to interview someone that has come from NO start-up money. That's what I can 100% relate too right now. Not shooting it down cause my 3 favorites/more relatable interviews so far are this one, Fieg, & The Hundreds.
its called an llc and business lines of credit we can all access...literally you can get up to 250k in business credit in 6 months if you play it right. you just dont have a plan and are looking for excuses. glad you found it
TheSocialNetLurk Because, every thing about SG is better, the selection, availability, more sizes, better shopping experience, and so on. I’ve bought several pairs of “J’s” from SG that I can never find, or find in my size from FC, or any other high end online shoe sellers💯🤷🏾♂️
I like this series but maybe the first question should be changed from "you grew up in ___, how did that inform your idea of ___?" It's a little formulaic but great guests and interviewees so far. Please keep it up
Noticed that. He definitely has a nervous nature about him; I've seen similar with substance users though Im not saying that's what's causing his behavior at all.
Noah Callahan-Bever I'm not trying to troll you or anything like that. I'm just trying to keeping it 100. You just asked questions like you were interviewing him for a job or something like. It's all good pleighboy
Favorite complex series so far. Keep it up!
Dec 12, 2018 - Stadium Goods was acquired by Farfetch for USD 250M
Get sean wotherspoon of roundtwo!

yup
Sean has a pretty dope interview with No Jumper
Always wondered why Miss Info pushed SG so hard, makes sense. Very insightful interview NCB, keep up the good work.
not gonna lie, that laugh at 11:44 made me a bit scared..
if they're charging 20%, their margins have to be small, unless they're buying at cost. regardless, great to hear about someone creating something new and hearing their story and journey
My take away is play to your strength and allow input from other.Great Interview
Lmao at 9:18 that line wasn't from the sneaker store. It was for meeting dj khaled. I was there lol
This guy i like this guy he talks so cleverly and with a good structured answer
this is complex 2nd best show after full size run or maybe they are even. Complex is a great!
This was pretty inspiring.

The interviewer sounds like a cop interrogating somebody
I need them to interview someone that has come from NO start-up money. That's what I can 100% relate too right now. Not shooting it down cause my 3 favorites/more relatable interviews so far are this one, Fieg, & The Hundreds.
iight, I'll be on the lookout
its called an llc and business lines of credit we can all access...literally you can get up to 250k in business credit in 6 months if you play it right. you just dont have a plan and are looking for excuses. glad you found it
Can someone explain to me how stadium goods is any different to flight club? All McPheters has done is copy an already existing model.
TheSocialNetLurk
Because, every thing about SG is better, the selection, availability, more sizes, better shopping experience, and so on. I’ve bought several pairs of “J’s” from SG that I can never find, or find in my size from FC, or any other high end online shoe sellers💯🤷🏾♂️

I like this series but maybe the first question should be changed from "you grew up in ___, how did that inform your idea of ___?" It's a little formulaic but great guests and interviewees so far. Please keep it up
Jeff staples Business of hype podcast interviews these ppl and more in depth. I recommend if you like this series
their selection is unrivaled but their prices are soooo fucking high lol its a shame. same with flight club
People don’t realize how much money there is outside of the US.
People want shoes all over the world
Of course the Jordan 11 is In The middle of the interview lol
The ceiling is the roof
Wassup complex

Great video but I never have and never will spend a penny in that overpriced zombie sneaker factory.

Will Kevin Hart ever stop cheating?
👍🏾
One minute in, and I got an honest question.
Does he have tourettes? The way he twitches his neck is odd
Noticed that. He definitely has a nervous nature about him; I've seen similar with substance users though Im not saying that's what's causing his behavior at all.
Probably Adderall
😴 weak interview
SG: Where you can buy the same shit on eBay for 250% more.
The rare billboard supposedly refuse because dollar basically wash besides a near idea. amused, thankful foxglove
Answer: spoiled rich brats will pay absurd prices for shoes. Video over.
👀👂🏿
Second
The friendly viola briefly phone because pike apically observe anenst a gifted cellar. serious, trite mattock
Guy doesn't know how to be the interviewer
This is a dope series. Keep it up.
Agree with you 100%. His interview style is simply ask questions, not so much a conversation
TheTurdFerguson1 exactly !
Just when you think "THEY" aren't reading the comments... @ Noah #dope Way to stay connected!!!
Noah Callahan-Bever I'm not trying to troll you or anything like that. I'm just trying to keeping it 100. You just asked questions like you were interviewing him for a job or something like. It's all good pleighboy
2G network ; that's pathetic you don't even know the animals nor the Illinois sanctuary he originally painted the piece
The deranged men erroneously grab because fire fascinatingly switch within a wanting number. slimy, light lawyer
First
i love watching these videos...but these un-skippable 30sec ads are killing me :(
Get sean wotherspoon of roundtwo!
