Jim Jones talks sneakers with Complex.com

Oh, these boys and their vanities! Jim Jones and Complex’s JLaPuma use the internet as an excuse to do what they would be doing any dang way. Talking about shoes, buying shoes, twittering about shoes, comparing shoes, and sniffing at other artist’s shoes, lol.
Hmm….speaking of sneakers….I’m gonna give away some tickets to this weekend’s SneakerPimps show in NYC on the blog soon….how soon? *twirls mustache*

I think Jim Jones is a character., like Spiderman or Superman.
I think when he goes home, he actually might be a normal dude, with normal fears, online betting on Ebay…

This nigga Jones is so corny just jumpin on any ban wagon to keep himself relevant first it was the whole indie/ hipster rap movement that dude jumped on every skinny jean rap song he could find from kid cudi day and night to the shit with Asher, and now he’s trying to leach onto the sneaker head culture just cause its gone pop! oh please dude! how you gonna style with your feet up on the desk in a pair of general release nike structure’s Triax that any shmuck can get down at your local footlocker! your a sneaker head bring out an OG jordan an exclusive AF1 or AT LEAST! an Air Max retro to save face ya know, something to validate your claims that you know something about the culture not just googling sneaker names and rolling them off in your little speech. Nike’s not hollarin at ya Jones they can spot a fraud Nike gives love to those who are deep in the kicks game Kanye, Gregg Street, De La Soul, Fat Joe, Quest Love, Dj A-Trak real sneaker heads. If bath robes and shower caps where a big craze Jones would be all over that to flip a quick buck its pathetic. Now that I got that off my chest Info I would looooovvve to go to sneaker pimps you prob don’t remember but I caught up with ya at that big Nike Party at Nike Town NYC in december with Kent, and Mayor and the rest of those characters got a great shot of us at the event but I would love to be in the building for sneaker pimps I’m a huge sneaker head and have never been I always seem to miss it! SO HOW CAN I GET DOWN! LOL

^ Kenny, it’s not that serious. Dude likes to buy sneakers, and has the money to do it. Chill out and have a coke. Shouts to Pootie.

Jimmy talks a lot of shit for a dude who just got dropped from Columbia Records today. LMAO, that karma is a bitch.

Jim Jones is a joke. Jimmy: We’re laughing AT you not WITH you!
You’ll never be anyone without Cam. I bet Jim and Dame sit around talkin about the good days before they burnt their bridges. “Faallllin”

Damn Mr Jones. Seems like most of us agree. Give up the act. Put away that wack ass image your trying your hardest to up-hold and put on a grown mans outfit. Do you even own a suit?? Its a damn shame I’m sure your mother is sicken by your actions.

the cornball he is referring to is Kanye…
I doubt any1 would camp out days for a Jim Jones sneaker IJS.
Good clip at the end!
But those NIKE on his feet is a PLUS!

We all know he has the money, but he still doesn’t get respect with his gear because shit is trash. I admit dipset did set trends back then, but now they fell off like a Jeezy snowman t-shirt…

lol at any dude over 25 having a sneaker “collection”……
****NEWSFLASH**** You’re only impressing other dudes (kind of gay). Bad ass b*tches (sorry Inf….. “Bad ass Women” just doesn’t sound as good)don’t give a f*ck bout none of that.
Jones is funny….just wish he knew how to play his position. Be more like Yayo. Remember too many chiefs not enough indians.

I find myself not agreeing with Jim more than I do, But this time hes 100 % right,
KennyGoodtimes calm the fuck down money you got madd offended like your the cornball he was reffering to.When Kanye gives “cornballs” like perez hilton a pair and hes walking around with pink spandex looking extra tight in those kix making them look just horrible then I could see where jim is coming from.

No need to calm down here hommie I’m cooler then a polar bears toenails peeps I just don’t like frontin and and that dude jones is a frontin ass nigga. Which is he the super hard super thug from harlem or Mr. swag fashionista the man spent the last 5 years dissing that later while acting like the former and now that the ones he called “nerds” a few years ago are hot he’s startin to look alittle nerdish himself these days gone are the corny gliddered gaudy T-shirts oversized true religions and stupid belt buckles and here is the light fitted denim plaid shirt and teal sneakers with pink laces and he’s claiming sneaker head give it a rest dude. As lame as 50 is at times which is often I do give him credit for one thing he’s always consistent 50’s the same person now he was coming into the game and Jones went from back flipping jumpin around hype man taggin along with Cam to this wannabe 50 cent light with half the rhyme skillz with his own lame ass g unit like crew of glorified hype men the byrd gang to now this it’s kinda sad I respected the hype man better
