TSG Exclusive: Wale Talks Sneakers Video

Everyone knows Wale the rapper, but how much do you know about his shoe game? You can tell he’s very passionate about sneakers by watching his videos and listening to his music. TSG caught up with Wale while he was in Atlanta to talk about nothing but sneakers. We know all about his music, so we thought it was long overdue for a Wale sneaker interview. In this video Wale talks about how long he’s been in the game, favorite kicks, Holy Grail’s, DC’s sneaker scene, current state of the sneaker culture, kicks he’ll never rock, and more sneaker talk. Check out our video with Wale now and enjoy!

Big ups to Kick Stand

  47. Well done G-Roc. You have quality interview skills. Good questions, solid knowledge on the topic at hand (of course), and no hesitation between questions. Nice!

  48. my man wale said how AF1 was big in the south. NO buddy LOL Reebok Classics was big in the south. NYC started that blanco y blanco AF1 // exclusive af1 thing.

    G-Roc hurt wale feelings when he said he owned his grails, i peeped that haha.
