Anybody remember the time when people were debating which actor would win if there was a war of actors' characters? Dr. Manhattan, Morpheus, Candyman, Black Manta. This guy's winning it.
Damm dude BIG UPS to Joe! Ina world full of hype, he came out with the Air Bakin! As someone who primarily searches for retro nikes, that was crazy to see!! WOOOOO!!
When I saw this I was like “who is this guy?” 2:30 into the video and I like him more than 98% of the people on here. Seems real and not like he’s trying to impress anyone or live up to some stupid better than everyone else mindset.
