When it comes to sneakers, Wex has seen it all and done it all. The former Vice President of Global Entertainment and Influencer Marketing at adidas has collected a plethora of iconic sneakers with stories you've never heard of.
In this episode, host Dez Moore takes you inside the sneaker closet of the legendary Jon Wexler where you'll see the sneakers that were meant to be the start of the historical Defining Moments Pack, rare Kobe Bryant samples that never released, and of course, every adidas Yeezy sneaker that was made during Wex's time with the Three Stripes.
Let us know the best pair you saw in the comments and like this video if you want more Sneak Peek!

Yeezy was the only sneaker company innovating. Now we are stuck in a era of archival re-releases, nike releasing old shoes and old colourways and new balance releasing old colourways with new collabs. I miss Yeezy and I will continue to wear them daily. Also Yeezy Slides are the best slides on the planet. I don't think I'll ever stop wearing them

@elliotmayer8146 11 күн бұрын

I really wish that they had gotten to keep going with the weird experimental stuff Yeezy was doing towards the end with the knit rnr boots and nsltd boots. I know they had to have some crazy stuff cooking :/

@Fialectro 9 күн бұрын

Adidas* it was a huge risk they took allowing the Yeezy creative directors actually push designs.. not even Nike allowed them to stray too far off what is considered a Nike silhouette.

@sarkaranish 6 күн бұрын

New balance been killing it tho, they have crazy designs and their colorways are always great.

I think people don't realize the true significance of doing something like this with Wex. There probably will never be another moment in history like this. You don't ever see someone who was close to MJ that designed his shoes doing videos like this or telling stories about the ups and downs of such an amazing journey. I'm sure getting any stories out of MJ or seeing his closet of samples & such is probably just as unheard of. I really appreciate Wex taking the time to do this. One of a kind.

I remember commenting on every Wex IG post asking him to bring back the 750s lol. I wanted a pair so badly, and I randomly got lucky and got a worn 1x pair of Chocolate 750s for retail on Ebay. Those mesh sample pairs should have 100% released too, would have been a good way to keep that model going.
