Step 1: Have a friend on Wall Street.
The interviews with Todd McFarlane, Bobby Hundreds, Kaws, and this are so awesome. They all resonated with me deeply and got me motivated. Thanks for this Noah!
Its always dope learning first hand experience from the people who actually pursued their passion! Dope video and even better series, Complex putting work in 💯
blueprint should drop more frequently not gonna lie. great series
Smart man. I enjoyed this interview immensely. I’m learning so much from this Blueprint series. Please keep them coming.
Geez!!! I love these interviews, I like looking into their perspectives/mindsets!! Thank you for doing this, Complex!🙏
There is nothing like discovering a good product that is really unique. Even better to then discover the person behind it is genuine. Nothing but admiration for this company, with respect for his risk and credibility. Thank you. - Reid
its about who you know and how hard youre willing to work wto make sure those connections go the distance. this guy is living proof. great story
Found this channel few days ago & this is something! Thank You guys a lot!
Great vid 👍🏽.. Bang💥Bang💥
Very inspiring series great interviewing of the subjects.Keep it up.
I don't know how I'm only just discovering this series, but it's marvelous.
What a great interview guys. Only come across it now. Cheers
Yes!! Back on form with the caliber of guessed you have got this time, great episode!
Get nigo on this shit!
This was TOP NOTCH.. People forget the 90s and early 2000s everybody had a shot at making it! Even drug dealers! Hip-hop was the soundtrack for that era! We were all kids trying to find our way and we bonded through our journey!
Love that Dave Matthews band poster!!! Right in the cut!!
Noah Callahan-Bever, nice interview style I enjoy it. Inspirational to see Jon Buscemi's rise, shows that with the right network and determination, and a bit of luck, one can change the world.
Good interviewer, loved this interview!
Very nice informative interview love to see how creative smart minds work..just grind & believe 👍it sounds like that anything is possible.
Best series on Complex.
This interview was actually amazing and the interviewer was so articulate and well spoken. Good job!
I'm gonna do something great with my life and be right on here talking to Noah. Watch.

The stock crash effected everyone. Everyone before that was making money. Im guessing you gonna say he stole the plot of "Wolf of wall street" also. Why is there always a dick head that never believe the story when the result is in front of your eyes.

From the friend pulling up in the Ferrari to the "interview" at the shady Wall Street job.
Noah gonna be on Blueprint season 10 being the one interviewed. Dope series.
I like Jon's attitude, i love the underdog
These blueprints be the most inspirational to kick a person in the ass n say I can create!!💯💯💯🚀🚀
That Dave Matthews print is everything
I like his honesty, is the first "public figure" that says things as it is, more than his own talent and creativity, the knows "the right people" and he moves in the "right" circle, that with his talent and creativity made him successful
Great story
Complex BLUEPRINT should is 100% TV content, i am inlove with the sereies
The key to competing is like he said be connected to the culture. If YOUR PRODUCT IS GOOD THEN YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL.
This is DOPE!

I had kind of figured something along those lines is what went down. Thanks for the reply, Noah; I appreciate you taking the time. Keep up the good work. This is a great series, and the way you're able to guide people through their story as an interviewer is top-shelf.

charles digloria ....be wise. There is nothing good enough to bring a sneaker head to Manchester NH. There is no prominent fashion culture there.
I doubt any of these people know about Dave Matthews good ole 90s tunes!!
this man is a legend
And do the LAmbo MAtador. Out a Jordans 2 and Picasso´s Guernica
dope. period.
Im so glad i managed to get 35's before the brand disapeared
I like this story
The resale on the 100MM is not great. I've been trying to sell my pair for the last 3 years.
I'm not gonna lie, I always thought the shoes were very vulgar, and kinda gaudy, but he as a person is extremely respectable and after hearing the whole design process, the mantra, and how much he genuinely believes in his products, it kinda makes me want to hunt down a pair in a colourway that i would actually like even though my personal style is more tech/athletic sneakers. A pair of 100MM would be a good contrast in my collection to Y-3s.
Now do tha Chopped and Screwd. Out a wuarache and a Versachy Shirt. = )
My role model
All young people should watch this. More valuable than what’s being taught in schools.

Steve Buscemi interviews Jon Buscemi
When I make it, it'd be an honor to be interviewed by noah
I'm watching this in 2021, over 4 years from when this first aired. Neiman Marcus sells men's 100 mm hi tops for $ 898.00
great
dope
Sick guy
good role model
So he de-constructed Nike and got sued..Then he de-constructed Birkin bag and no law suit?? Did he get their permission?
Funny i actually have the pairs the he was sued for! Sneaker and culture history is amazing! S/O to all sneaker enthusiasts worldwide 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Quadici were my favorite sneaker ever
Okay so one shoe style. What happens after that?
Mans is the luckiest guy in the world no kap

If you think like that you be broke like that your whole life. Dude made an empire out of his garage
is this fungoogatz related to Steve Buscemi the actor? I knew a few Brooklyn boys who never went to college and worked on Wall Street. Total scam. Still is... duh. hence the crash of 2008. I dont really get how hip hop informs a $900 shoe. This guy is a genius for sure, and the interviewer wishes he was him.
im here for this bullshit i live everyday like if u feel the same
I get we aint all as fortunate as this man but it doesn’t create an excuse to why ya mfs still broke and hating smh
So the flyest dude in your hood (yourself) would rock a man purse lol .the flyest dude n my hood(me) wouldnt
