On the latest installment of Sneaker Shopping, Lil Yachty brought his quirky personality to Flight Club’s location in Los Angeles. Throughout the conversation, Yachty recalls the time he was picked by LeBron James to co-star in a Sprite commercial. Sporting a Supreme box logo t-shirt and his Simpsons-inspired chain, Yachty also admits to being a member of the hypebeast community and credits it to the collaboration between Supreme and Nike on the Air More Uptempo silhouette.

The interview continues as the “Forever Young” artist keeps his sneaker challenge to DJ Khaled on the table. He then talks about Reebok approaching him for a collaborative boat shoe that he wasn’t too fond of.

Check out the video above as Lil Yachty reveals a crazy $14,000 USD tab for his pair Nike Mags and more.
