Switching things up, the latest installment of Sneaker Shopping goes from New York with Juelz Santana to the bright and sunny city of Miami with the entertaining Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. The NFL All-Pro wide receiver stopped by KITH’s Miami location alongside host Joe la Puma to discuss his upbringing in the footwear game to how he feels about the current competition between Nike and adidas. During their talk Johnson gave credit to the UltraBOOST silhouette for its comfort during his training and paid homage to the Air Jordan 1 model being his go-to choice out of MJ’s selection of signature sneakers. Ochocinco also reminisces about his large Nike MAG purchase and explains the reason why he copped a pair of New Balances.

Check out what Johnson cops above and let us know if you think you can take him in a game of FIFA.
