Kris “Swagg” Lambersonwas first up inside the store’s backroom. Already rocking shoes like the Nike Air Jordan 1 Dior and Travis Scott, theWarzone streamerwas eager to add another rare pair to his collection.
Store owner Adeel “champagnepaki” Shams pulled out one of the store’s diamond finds for Swagg, a Europe-exclusive Off-White Nike Air Jordan 1 White. Despite the pair being a size smaller than his usual, Swagg said that they fit perfectly and confirmed the purchase on the spot. According to StockX, the Off-White Jordan 1 White goes for about US$4,900.
A newcomer to the shoe game, FaZe Clan memberEan “Booya” Chasewent for a more casual look with the Nike Air Max 1/97 Sean Wotherspoon, typically priced at around US$1,500. Booya previously mentioned that he was a big fan of the Air Max’s simpler aesthetic.
Nuke Squad’s Jordan “JSmooth” Cox and Dante “Santana” Santana both spent their hard-earned cash on Nike Air Jordan 4 Retros, but in different colorways. Santana went for the white What The, while JSmooth purchased the university blue Cactus Jack, a pair that he’s apparently been eyeing since its 2018 release.
