How June Ambrose Helped Jay-Z, Missy Elliott & Busta Become Style Icons | The Complex Sneakers Show
Ойын-сауық
June Ambrose is a costume designer and creative director who’s spent 30 years elevating the style of hip hop icons. She was there with Jay Z since the beginning, she was there when Missy Elliott signed her deal with Adidas, and she was there when Busta Rhymes needed exaggerated visuals to match his energy. In this episode, she relives her long resume, reflects on her Puma work, and dishes out some style advice. Also, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty talk about Jack Harlow’s New Balances, upcoming Nike SB Dunks, and the LeBron James’ potential sneaker for his last season in the NBA.

"Dont be a fan be a friend" might be one of the most beautiful things ive heard on this podcast
1:35 @complex LOVE that topic menu layout. Very similar to the old school SportsCenter layout. Keep it going!!
This was one of my favorite episodes. June Is a pioneer and to hear these stories makes me want to learn so much more about sneaker/fashion history

Great Show. How amazing is June, so naturally cool, knowledgeable and humble 🙌 Also super happy for the Welty/Agassi moment
Rest Easy DP
My favorite episode of all time! She's a living legend and so full of light. An absolute gem.
Great interview, all her answer were thoughtful and well placed. You can tell she is veteran in the game.
I didn't like those Y3s when they were released, that "bridge' thing was weird to me, but seeing them being worn by such a stylish person made me rethink about the whole design of those shoes. Much love, thank you
Welty wearing some iconic Js, you love to see it. My pair still heavy on the rotation.

Aj3 is an amazing shoe but welty wearing this shoe is affirmation 😅 that 85 cut Aj1's and new shape AJ4's and AJ11's are the only Jordan's I need in my rotation at the age of 45.
I've just watched this on my phone and now opened a tab on my computer to remember to watch it again. Heart warming perfection
This was an amazing show!!! She is really a gem and you all asked some very great questions
Dope interview. I remember all those pivotal culture connections & proud to see Bronx Girl Ma...turity was behind most of it! June's (been) approved w/o the approval process. B1
THIS is my fav episode so far. I’m a log time June Ambrose fan… she speaks to my fashionista heart. Amazing interview guys. 💜
Kick game properrrrr ! Not a Friday without this! Loving the side screen timeline! She’s beyond dope! Really love her style Such amazing conversations! Great job, guys !
this episode was lovely. shoutout to June Ambrose - so many gems!! more women on this podcast would be fire!! 🐐👩🎨

Loved this!!!
She's great!,excellent episode.. Her personality is beautiful
I love her voice
kicking the episode off with Welty in AJ3 = immediate thumbs up
The Last time I came this early my girl left me 😔
JOE LA PUMA LOOKS GREAT IN WHITE SNEAKERS
I love her 🙏🏽💙, and good job fellas , and Welty came thru today on the questions ! 👊🏽👍🏽
This set-up is mad nice, colors are amazing.
R.I.P to the internets. Truly a street legend and had the pleasure of meeting him a few times on the train back in the day.
Pretty good interview. June is so inspiring.
June making Brendan and Welty blush 😆😆 Brendan at 36:10 and Welty at 39:20-39:39
🔥🔥🔥💚💚nice podcast
Long Live Dallas Penn 🕊️❤️🙏🏼
Congrats to Welty for finally meeting Andre Agassi!!!
That hat is top-tier
Love the pod. I am a big fan and long time listener. I have 1 point of feedback though... why do we have to always do a run through of everything welty posts on x or insta? Feels like we're just going thru his timeline every week. This is coming from someone who generally agrees with welty's takes and is a fan.

i’m 40 and i got married in sneakers, my first pair of J i had it when i was 10 (in italy) we were kinda stigmatized but i only wear sneakers since 30 years
That’s a very pretty classy lady you have on there … also the Niblick Blue JOE Freshgoods are incredible
I have every pair of the floral janoskis so good
Nice. Top 50

What's the white and green puma in the thumbnail?
Love love her strong personality. If you’re reading this hi 👋

it’s EDNA the incredible’s character is based on edith head .. correcting her all loud and wrong 💀😄 .
Welty affirmed: not predictable in the WC3. Haha. Cowabanga. 🤙
Great episode, legendary guest
Fabulous guest. Soooo many great stories from a creator. Creators much more interesting than executives. Get more creatives on the show
I would absolutely love if meyhem became a regular on the show/ fsr replacement
I’m I hallucinating ?? Matt welt WELTY wearing JORDAN ??
A missy elliott episode would be great
I do miss Welty's "getting pressed/triggered" meter, I envisioned it above his head for ~ @10:50
❤❤❤❤❤
RIP Dallas Penn❤🙏🏽
Surprised Welty didn’t call out Dunn for wearing the big bubbles after initially hating on them 🤔
Honestly this show doesn’t need guest ,
she is gorgeous
RiP DP 🙏
I’m in Miami Brendan you didn’t talk about the ASAP ROCKY PUMA DROP The Friday and Saturday of race week COLLAB WITH CNCPTS POP UP THAT HAPPENED IN MIAMI AND SOLEFLY DROPPED 4 exclusive stadium 90 Jordan color ways

If that hat had a Yankee logo…she’d be killing it…😂

She is cool AF! Epic episode
So no all black shoes except jordan 4?

The hat is questionable
I personally don't count Puma or Reebok as serious brands that make sneakers. I always find the materials are just such poor quality. They both make a few pairs that do definitely *look* cool, but I just know they're super uncomfortable and will most likely fall apart :/

You could say the same for those cheap GR dunks that people go crazy for, they’re not even comfortable, and the quality is cheap asf. Every brand makes hit or miss products

probably just haven't bought the right kind of reeboks or pumas cause. I got both that have great materials they even make premium versions of their models like the Made in Germany Puma's and a lot of the Reebok collabs the leather is pretty good for the price.

As a long time watcher of this show, it's apparent that these 3 only focus on certain brands and styles of shoes. Lame and Very lacking. FSR, while was getting long in the tooth, was better.

I'm not quite sure what you would be looking for. They are indeed Nike heavy. But they discuss Salomon, New Balance, Asics, Saucony and have had guests on in recent weeks that discuss other brands such as Reebok and some Puma talk today. Lots of focus on the hype but this is a mainstream channel with a mainstream show so they are going to focus on the mainstream, popular sneakers? They do a bit of deep cuts and deep dives. But I wouldn't expect them to do that all the time.
Full size doesn’t exist no more
