Socially awkward sneaker expert Brad Hall recently welcomed Vince Staples to his web series to discuss the rapper’s forthcoming collaborative drop with Converse. With both pairs of the project present, the duo discusses the inspiration behind its detailing which includes Vince’s last name on the sneaker and a few Big Fish Theory album call outs. Brad Hall also puts on the sneakers to test the waterproof capabilities of the shoes. He even dips them into a fish tank to take the challenge a bit further.

Take a look at the video above and let us know if you plan on copping one or both pairs of the Vince Staples x Converse collection.
