It finally happened: Stephen A. Smith has appeared on Complex’s Sneaker Shopping. After a years-long wait, the popular and acclaimed sports media personality linked with Complex’s Joe La Puma to discuss all things sneakers and basketball, and it went down at Stadium Goods in New York City.

Known for his bold and always hilarious personality, Stephen A. flashed the same infectious enthusiasm on Sneaker Shopping that he has on ESPN’s First Take, one of the best sports debate shows on television. And just like on First Take, Stephen A. had plenty of opinions and hot takes on a wide variety of classic basketball shoes on Sneaker Shopping.

When asked about his opinion on the Air Jordan 1, Stephen A. didn’t hold back: “I’m a fan of the Air Jordan 3. [He wore the Air Jordan 1] when they [the Chicago Bulls] were losing. He was playing with no-names and Stan Albeck was his coach.” Gotta love Stephen A.

Watch the complete episode of Stephen A. Smith’s time on Sneaker Shopping with Complex at Stadium Goods for more on the New York City native’s thoughts on iconic basketball shoes like the Reebok Question and Reebok Shaqnosis, as well as Tracy McGrady’s adidas signature shoes, and more.
