Watch J Balvin Go Sneaker Shopping & Reveal He Gets YEEZYs Before Kanye

in FootwearWords By Daniel Pearson

The latest installment of Complex's "Sneaker Shopping" series sees Joe La Puma take Colombian reggaeton artist J Balvin for a spending session at Stadium Goods in New York City.

The entertaining clip features Balvin talking about how he gets YEEZYs before Kanye himself (though he doesn't reveal his source), as well as how Kanye's meeting with Trump made him sad. He also reminisces about his first pair of sneakers, Nike's all-white Air Force 1s, which he was inspired to buy after watching the video to Nelly's track "Air Force Ones."

Later in the clip, Balvin picks up four sneakers (including two pairs of "Human Race" NMDs and the Air Jordan 1 x fragment collab) and three beanies to spend a total of $4,017. Check out the clip above.

In other sneaker news, NikeLab and Riccardo Tisci present another luxurious take on the Dunk.
