Damn she kept it real and knows more about sneaker culture than half the people that come on this show. You can always tell Joe is having fun when a guest appreciates sneakers as much as him.

Thank you Lena for saying it. I am not into women's sizes. Quality isn't as polished as that of men's shoes. I am not a fan of pinks and purples on sneakers either. Too cliche. I think Nike should consider that chicks who wear their kicks aren't always the girl's girl type..throw in some color less becoming of a girl and look towards throwing some colorways that aren't necessarily sexist, in a way..

I love seeing women who are interested in more androgynous/masculine sneakers! I agree with her about women’s sneakers...l
