Sean did not make the Air Max 1/97 all by himself, but do you think Ye made all the Yeezys all by himself?

Yeah we already know Ye did not make all the yeezys by himself. He has a full team. I dont think any designer makes any shoe all by them self.
Deprived us of further Nike collaboration trainers…looking at those tear away air max 1 samples is brutal 😫

Can't say he's a "fraud" , he took advantage of a 1 time business situation and flipped it into an empire. Smart to me but I enjoyed the video. 😀😀

It was part of Nike's brief for the campaign to collaborate with a group of your closest friends and/or colleagues. So in fact, Sean was one of the few who actually followed the guidelines. Ultimately, I'm not sure if that's a valid point against him

In his defense, no one designs sneakers by themselves. It's all a design team, or you'd end up like all those other terrible hybrids that didn't win. Even Kanye has a team of designers
plot twist his goal was to make shoes so fruity they ended up on sale to put designer shoes in every day peoples hands. not just hypebeasts and nepo kids.
No he's not a fraud and your video did not show he was. He designed it per the contest prompt, with his friends. Weird hater vibes with that title. Maybe you should have posed it as a question.
Nah Sean’s a solid dude. For a guy who started a small business selling vintage + streetwear to now working with some of the biggest names in the game is a huge come up. No matter if his newer designs sell out or not, he’s still pushing the culture. Trying to discredit the work of other designers without you even bringing anything to the table is just makes your opinion lackluster.
His most recent adidas shoe did really well both resell and hype

Thank you for making this video, exactly what I've been feeling for many years
Met Sean at Round 2 in LA years ago. He personally cashed me out for some Supreme clothes I traded in. Cool dude
This is a strangely aggressive video and I think saying Sean was known for dipping sneakers and cutting things up is such a wildly diminutive way to describe round 2 and everything he built
subbed. Great editing and writing. The only thing I can think of I didn't like was the weird guy doing reactions. Distracting and kind of makes the video seem generic (when it isn't.)

The weird guy adds to the comedy 😆
He has his own personal design vision and stays true to that. He works with a lot of archival 80s and 90s clothing and footwear pieces and bases a lot of his design work on that. With him also being vegan he tries to make a lot of his products out of sustainable products which a lot of these big box brands should be doing too. We throw Virgil's name around saying he is the goat of footwear design but how many flops has he had recently outside of the "10" pack.

@@MrKevy40 The title of the video states that he is the Biggest Fraud of the Sneakers History. (sic) I was debunking that. I am not saying he is perfect in any form and have never bought any of his shoes and probably won't in the future either. That doesn't mean that someone else will go out and buy them as they like them. I am a massive Virgil Fan and have most of his design books but outside the "10" pack and the airforce 1s most of the other shoes that have come out have sat and are going for well under retail. Because of this does this make him the Biggest Fraud of the Sneakers History? (sic) No it doesn't!!
Stop the hate. A lot of contradictions in this video.
Fraud is a big word he is still huge and I think given to opportunity’s anyone would take that Sean is still so talented and he will forever hold a huge place in the streetwear community regardless if you like him or not
Sean’s designs don’t suck. Adidas just sucks. Labeling him as a “fraud” is not cool
It’s always so weirdly funny when these “informative” vids got the narrator pronouncing damn near everything wrong “Ronnie fag “ being the best one by far 😂😂😭
He has two great sneakers the ASICS and Air Max 1/97
I like bright, loud colorful kicks but they have to be done right and certain shoes.
His AM 1/97 gave him a career and he was really good at capitalizing on it 🤷♂️
Man he used to sell me shirts and shoes back in round two days! Got my supreme 5s from there too man good days! He was chill then crazy to see all this happening now.
Sean is the definition of fake it till you make it sell out
That kid never played football in sambas
Orketros and asics sold out what do you mean?
Surprised you mentioned the team effort that went into the Air Max 97/1s. People never mention that. I actually enjoy the 80/90s colorful vibe. Even so I agree that a good amount of his designs ain't it. Still his original collab is a top 3 sneaker for me. And what got me into the sneaker game. So I'll forever appreciate him for that. Plus that Adidas Orketro was pretty dope. Hopefully, it's a sign of better things to come!
His new Gazelles are fire and will be his most popular shoes with Adidas so far id say
Its so dope i'm in the more air episode where sean gave me a free more air tee and i picked up a bulls rap style tee along with showing us the process of the 97/1. I also met A$AP Nast that day and Trippie Redd on a different day. Thanks for everything Round Two
So much negativity and inaccuracy in this video... Sean's a good dude!
Those black adidas with the fringe flowers were clean to me
He made literally 1 good shoe 😂

Shit made a career off of it ill take that any day
It’s too early to put Salehe in GOAT convos. Dude, is really only known for his Crocs and the clothing he launched with them flopped with no one really wearing the pieces. Virgil, on the other hand, is going to be missed for a very very long time. Once a generation type talent
I think one of the reasons why the Sean wotherspoon's flop is the collabs on shoe models people rarely buy. Like those basic Adidas shoes that you'll pick up when you just need new shoes rather than something like Yeezy where it's hyped
I never liked his designs, they look messy and the color choices don’t work to me . He seems like a cool dude and I can respect him going hard for that nike collab but that’s not enough for me to hop on the SW bandwagon .
Sean singlehandledly saved Melrose but at the same time slowly destroyed it
I like his adidas collab I think it’s really fire
dude put flowers around the shoes....who would buy that?!!!!.....i agree with turtle man
Who's that random guy with the spikey jacket?
Remember when Sean was scamming in the dunk groups...
I fully agree! Except for Air maxes he didn't do anything good!
He’s not a fraud, overly hyped is very arguable a visionary and slight creative. R.I.P to Virgil, but he didn’t really sew or design garnets either, there’s so many facets of being a creatives that doesn’t get honored. Can’t hate on him for talking advantage of his situations, props to him. FYI Kanye doesnt design his sneakers either

And now he dropped his best release adidas gazelle hemp to shout out this video 😅
why is there a creepy looking dude between every shot?

he didnt even design the AirMax 97 by himself, it was his team who helped choose the colorway for him
Getting paid but nah no good after air max 1/97
C’est vraiment une seconde chaine du rapids crew ou c’est juste un bootleg 😅
Lol so y’all basically said his buzz decreased but he became more popular to the brands n more ppl wanted to work wit him tell me y’all don’t know somebody without saying it

I dislike Sean Wotherspoon for a completely different reason and that's because he's a scammer. It was around 6-10 years ago can't remember the exact year since I was like 12 but he would consistently scam people in the biggest sb facebook group and got called out by the admin and banned for scamming and ripping people off. I could care less about his sneaker because I don't like it anyways and I really just like sb dunks but Sean Wotherspoon deserves all the hate he gets even if hes a great designer he isn't a good person at heart and just wants money.
Is that Cam? 😂
Sean is a good guy
Love the turna round at the end but with all due respect ..kanye west..dude had ideas but had other people bring them to life...just like Sean as you say in the video
Those 97/VapeMax blew the competition away... not even close
He’s no Kanye That’s a fact .
Alors comme ça rapids ça s'exporte tah Mr beast
Hey man you're not giving enough respects to his actual designs, the color blocking on all his shoes actually really work. Only actual "flop" I would say would be his black super stars.
Basically he should have keep make things with the team and they all get the credit
It’s a lot of angry souls in this comment section 😂
Leave Sean alone. Damn lol mans went for the best option possible and clearly made something HUGE from that contest air max. Yall are so quick to judge. The video was great. Really well made tho

I don’t know who this guy is, but I don’t think anybody is buying shoes because of him. The niche they are using him to target is so small it not worth investing in.
the 97/1s “he designed” are one of the most over rated shoes ever. i really dont like a single shoe he was released so far.
Yes I'd have to agree this fruity palette of a guy is a bust.. a one hit wonder with the air max that every Hypebeast went crazy for.. other than that his other designs are cringey af!
He just call meta meata? 😂

Why are you coping rapidcrew?
Nothing he has done with out that team of taste makers that helped him with the air max has had the same success. And Nike doesn’t pay royalties obvious reason to dip.
drop the stock white guy doing expressions
It always makes me cringe hearing Kanye being called a designer. Dude the guy doesn’t even know how to draw a shoe. That’s like calling Steve Jobs a designer
