    Lol that was crazy when i first saw that lol

  2. G-Roc says:

    @Hye Style Kid – I was like “Did he really just do that?” lol
    .
    Now it’s like the signature thing to do. Amazing!

  3. Hye Style Kid says:

    Lol @ G-Roc he started an epidemic

  4. John B says:

    lol yeah he did. i love my sneakers and all but dont really wanna put my tongue on them. ill stick with my sniff. lol i love the smell of new shoes.

  5. G-Roc says:

    @Hye Style Kid – He sure did. He will get the credit in the sneaker history book for creator of the sneaker lick.

  6. Long Ong says:

    Did Fat Joe really say those Olympic 7′s really cost $5000? I don’t think they’re not much. More like 200-300 range. What is he talking about? lol unless those were OGs or something. Even then I’m still not sure that they go for 5000.

  7. Hye Style Kid says:

    Lol @John B i dont want to lick my sneakers but I cant fake like i didnt do it once lol

  8. Lem says:

    I’ve seen it in pics posted on various sites. I don’t know what the appeal is honestly. I understand it’s love for the shoe and is indicative of the passion that one has towards their kicks. However, licking a shoe is somewhat unsanitary. Deadstock means never worn NOT never touched.

    Many hands touch brand new shoes long before they are nicely packaged in their respective boxes. Just saying.

  9. 23kid says:

    I dnt f^ck with the kat… -_-

  10. 23kid says:

    Oh man he used the word collectors

  11. John B says:

    @Hye Style Kid, LOL! i cant front like i didnt think about doin it for the community pics that one time but i just couldnt do it.

  12. Mrdizzydee says:

    Sorry to say, but I’ve been licking my kicks waaaaaayyyy before Fat Joe did it on t.v. He wasn’t surprising me with it.

  13. Zack Attack Johnson says:

    yeah go ahead and lick your shoes. after the asian guy in the sweat shop that puts shoes into the box just scratched his balls, and he is really sweaty and he has d*ck cheese and then its gets on his fingers then he touches your shoes . then its shipped all the way to the U.S., then gets put in a footlocker wear the staff of 19 retards open the boxes take out the shoes and look at them and he just got thru touching his fat girl friend on lunch break who works in the food court. you buy em, you get to your car, you open the bag, take out the box, open the box, take out the right shoe, lick the bottom!!!!

  14. Licking your shoes is kind of foolish. You’re probably tasting glue, and the sweat of 7 year old slaves. How’s that taste?

  15. Sneakers O'Toole says:

    the dude would lick a crack in the street if he thought there was some chocolate in it.

  16. Hye Style Kid says:

    Lol @Converse King and Zack Attack Johnson

  17. BcUz-I-cAn says:

    I’ve never done the shoe lick myself, but have many friends that have done it for myspace/facebook/twitter. my only request for all you shoe lickers is that it must be HEAT!!! I don’t want to see someone licking any spizikes, dub zeros, fusions or just any other garbage from any other brand.

  18. BRINX says:

    HOW OLD IS THIS FOOTAGE???
    .
    AND LICKING THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SHOE IS STUPID
    YOU DONT KNOW IF SOMEONE TRIED THAT SHOE ON IN THE STORE AND DIDNT BUY IT AND PUT IT BACK IN THE BOX AND WALKED AROUND IN THE STORE
    AND EVEN IF THEY ARE BRAND NEW ITS STILL STUPID

  19. Zack Attack Johnson says:

    dawm g-roc yall super edited my post. lol it was 100 times worse

  20. G-Roc says:

    @BRINX – Our video was recorded about 2 weeks ago.
    .
    @Zack Attack Johnson – Yep, it was a bit much. lol

  21. GGil10 says:

    @bcuz-i-can.. thats right… if i see u lickin a pair of dub zeros.. then u should be kicked right there in ya grill and all sneakers u do have should be immediately took away

  22. ill will says:

    fat joes jordan game is retarded,you better go to youtube if you dont know,that man got heat!!!!!!!

  23. LOLOL @ ^^Zack Attack Johnson^^ That was mad funny. But Ive neva actually licked the bottom of my sneakers. I act like im licking it and dont actually touch the shoe. I even have pics of me pretendin to like the bottom but im acutaully not tho.

  24. 23edge says:

    WOW how young do you have to be to think licking the bottom of the sneaker was started by fat joe?
    .
    So who started the wearing of your sneakers on your feet craze?
    .
    My signature sneaker move would be checking out my sneakers while dropping a deuce… HOLLA’

  25. gtuddac says:

    this is so ghey….not that i’m proud, but i licked my sneakers when i was a little kid. Why is wack ass Fat Joe getting credit for this? Why is this even “credit worthy”? If this is the case then i proclaim myself to be the “First person to wear Air Jordans”, cool?

  26. gtuddac says:

    Where’s my interview and post on being the First to wear Js?

  27. CenValCali says:

    any1 know how icy soles taste like?

  28. Muntz3000 says:

    I was told keep your tongue in your mouth, unless your a letter Licker….. Joey Crack look like he was SUPERhigh, and got caught up in the moment!
    ^Grundle Cheese^ hahahaha I read that ZackattackJohson and started chocking on my PiFF,,, GoodShizz!

  29. MARS says:

    Licking the bottom of shoes is disgusting……….period. I don’t care if Tinker himself does it…..it’s nasty.

  30. J. Wills says:

    if you dont lick the bottom of your deadstock kicks then you are not a real sneaker collector…LOL…Just likced the bottom of my space jams and white on white on ice 11′s a couple days ago both deadstock!

  31. SneakerHead069 says:

    Is there more to this video ?

  32. BRINX says:

    ^ WORD…. THERES NO WAY GOT UP WITH FAT JOE AND ONLY GOT 1 MINUTE OF FOOTAGE ABOUT SOLE LICKING?????????
    WHERES THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW!?!?!?

  33. MisterMcfly23 says:

    there’s nothing like licking the bottom of a shoe thats been on a conveyor belt/production line, been sitting in a box in a warehouse, handled by numerous ppl from its production all the way to the store, and then handled even more by ppl trying them on. yeah, there’s nothing like the taste of that, smdh…

  34. alexthagr8 says:

    I’m not much of a licker……..of shoes that is lololololol!!!
    nah but for real though, IMO I think licking the bottom of shoes is straight disgusting.
    But I will sniff the hell out of a brand new DS pair of kicks though.

  35. Royal Swagness says:

    Licking your kicks is nasty. I don’t care if they are DS. if Fat Joe was hungry he should of brought himself a burrito. I bet money he ate the OREO 6′s.

  36. Shoop says:

    I aint gonna front. I did it a bunch of times.

  37. Tanner P. says:

    you guys are makin it like this is some fetish like “ohhh yeah gotta get the lick onnn”…the dude was tryna FLOSS…he wasn’t showin ‘love for the kicks’…he woulda kissed the thing..he was showin how FRESH and deadstock they were, he was symbolizing and even said somethin like “these is so fresh I’ll lick the bottoms, never worn”…It isnt like some craze goin around with kids in the privacy of their home lickin’ shoes…ppl and fat joe did it to SHINE to show off, to floss, to stunt…w/e you wanna call it. Yeah it’s pretty dumb but there’s some reason why it’s become so ‘popular’.

  38. airjordanfan4567 says:

  44. Shawty Black says:

    I liked his comment on the end about his respect for youth and their involvement in sneaker culture. Wish DJCK et al. could have been that gracious.
