[gentle soul music]
-[baby babbling]
-I know.
-Yes!
-No, no, no.
I'm not here for you.
I'm here to talk--
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this your baby?
-Yes, this my--
-No, no, that baby is beautiful!
Curly hair and everything.
How'd that storage unit work out?
[laughing]
Excuse you?
-Keep walking.
-I don't have time for neither idiot.
-Let me raise your baby.
-Good seeing you.
-I got you.
-[Bobby] Ignoring me.
I'm picking up four more
Concord 11s today.
Sounds good, I'll be here.
Hey. No-- Nori, right?
-Yeah.
-We met last Thursday at the storage.
-And?
-Well, look,
I gotta make moves,
and make moves really quick.
-How much you working with?
-300 bucks.
-How much you need?
-[baby babbles]
[swishing] $5,000.
Oh, so you think I'm Jesus then?
I may need a miracle, yes.
-When you go in
-I know.
-you're gonna get a 7 1/2 and an 11.
-[Bobby] Nah, you can't.
One pair per customer.
The baby makes it two customers,
which is the only reason I'm doing this.
A pair for you,
another pair for me.
Got it?
-Okay, I got it.
-Yeah.
-Hey.
-Hey, back--
Wow, you have a kid.
Ah yeah, I actually have two.
You have two kids?
-Mm-hm.
-What is this?
These aren't your size. Concord 11s,
your favorite. Are you flipping?
Ah, no
um it's a long story.
I'm sort of in a rush.
[baby crying]
Can we please make this transaction?
Okay. But it's still only
one pair per customer.
The baby counts as a customer too.

So what's next?
We meet one of my buyers.
-You got wheels?
-Of course my boy got wheels.
Let's go! Regulators, mount up!
-What are you?
-Mount up!
It ain't no fucking mount up.
You not going, Bobby.
Look, I know I fucked up, man.
You're my best friend, okay?
Well I mean, I thought you were at least.
-All right, whatever.
-Mount the fuck up, let's go!

[car alarm beeps]
[Nori] Oh, hell no.
You rather walk?
[sighs] Fine.
But take Lexington, not Melrose.
Next time we'll do it again ♪
A-ha!
Greetings, my merry men.
You brought Little John, I see.
Seriously, this dude?
He may be green, but so is his money.
And he'll pay way more than market value.
-Hey, I'm Devin. How are you?
-Good, how are you?
I have some Concord 11s.
-Are they good?
-"Are they good?"
MJ himself debuted them game one
in the '95 Eastern Conference Finals.
Well, I'm from the Chi, all right?
Didn't the Bulls lose that game?
Exactly.
Lost the game and series, which led
to Magic getting swept by Houston,
causing Shaq to jump ship and go
to Lakers, where he won three chips
with the Black Mamba.
If you think about it,
these shoes right here
changed the landscape
of the league forever.
All right, I'm just going to
sanitize my hands real quick.
Make sure to keep it wrapped,
you know what I mean?
All right.
Ooh.
Wow.
-We're on time crunch, so if you could--
-Right.
-Sorry about that, just--
-Fast forward your bullshit.
-They're the same size.
-You can never be too sure.
I want to make sure
it's not like a half size.
Let me just try--
-Whoa, no, whoa!
-Whoa!
-Whoa, whoa! What are you doing?
-You try 'em, you buy 'em.
Sold.
-Six big ones, there you go.
-Thank you.
No problem, thank you.
And while I have you guys here,
how much you think I can get for these?
Zero.
-Got a pair of false stars.
-Yep.
Ah, you tender, tender little creature.
Listen.
The sole's starting to yellow,
the logo is fake as fuck,
and, most importantly,
the stitching is sloppy as shit.
Good luck!
Fuck on me!
It's just "fuck me", by the way.
Fuck me.
We here and we coming up ♪
Ready for the game
Time running up ♪
Money and the fame
Gonna be about it ♪
Champion ring
Don't leave home without it ♪
-Winning everything-- ♪
-[record scratches]
-Can I help you?
-I was wondering
if I could shadow you or something?
Not in a creepy way,
because shadows tend to be dark
-and--
-50 bucks.
-Huh?
-[Nori] 50 bucks.
That sounds fair.
An hour.
Okay, uh, that's a little
less fair, but still a yes.
It's not like we don't have room.
-[car alarm beeps]
-Aw, yo, Devpool!
This is a sick ass whip, bro.
I got the same one in tan.
What, why? These are for people with kids.
You mean to tell me someone had sex
with you and conceived your children?
Oh, no such luck.
I'm flattered that you assume that,
but no, no little ones for this guy.
Yo, I got shotgun!
[smooth hip hop music]
Oh.
Holy Schnikes.
The wall's insane.
-[Nori] What up, Shawn? Doing good?
-What's good? How you doing?
If Stevie can get what we talked about,
let me know. I got a guy.
-Already on it.
-Right, thank you.
Huh.
Sick, right?
Travis Scott 1s, Supreme Foam.
Off-White Blazers.
Off-White Prestos.
Kaws 4s.
Yeezy Boost 350s.
That's crazy.
That's real crazy.
So hey, you, huh
you come here a lot?
I work here.
You know what's crazy? I actually did
a 10 year bid at Foot Locker myself.
[chuckles]
Ask me why they let me go.
Bad behavior.
I'm a bad boy, baby.
I'm taking my break.
Wait here, and don't talk
to anyone that works here.
[phone buzzing]
Yeah, talk to me.
[sighs]
Please, tell me you got good news.
I started following shorty ♪
-And she followed me back ♪
-No, absolutely not!
If she pulls any more bullshit,
the deal's off.
You sure you want me
to tell that to Stevie?
He's not a fan of people
talking shit behind his back.
Suit yourself then.
I don't care who he plays for,
I'm not chasing down
a pair of Rust Pink 1s
for anything less than four Gs.
Whatever, just hit me back
when he makes up his mind.
Here.
Six hundred gets you these.
[Stuey] You're fast.
Uh, okay, ahm
So what are we doing next?
I gotta drop these off in Alhambra,
while simultaneously
getting poor Stuey here
a pair that won't get him laughed at.
Oh. No, no, no. I meant me. What do I--?
-Us, us?
-No, no, no.
-No.
-We are a team.
There's a music video shoot in the Valley.
It starts at 2:00.
[Nori]
You're gonna ask for my girl Montana,
like Tony Montana from Scarface?
You call her just plain Montana,
things can go a little sideways.
-Montana?
-Hey, yeah.
-Yes.
-Hold one second.
You're gonna go flip those
for a pair of red Off-White 1s, and then
you're gonna come back here,
talk to Shawn,
tell him that those are for his guy.
No matter what you do, what you see,
don't get anything else.
Now let me hear you say that.
-Don't get anything else.
-Now you.
We should definitely get something.
What are you talking about?
That's exactly what she told us not to do.
Look, I'm saying fuck those.
These right here? These are the shit.
We're getting those,
bcause I'm gonna break even.
-That's all I care about.
-Pussy says what?
-What?
-What?
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt
that Shawn knows a guy
that'll pay more
for these bad boys than for those.
Okay, you remember Vanessa Clark?
Volleyball.
She played volleyball.
But you thought she was
the hottest girl on campus until
I introduced you
to Becca Johnson.
The theater major.
Not just any theater major,
the theater major you thought
was hotter than Vanessa Clark.
-Becca Johnson, huh?
-Becca Johnson.
"Big Booty" Johnson.
Um, how about these?
Red Octobers,
they're gonna cost you extra $300.
C'mon, Montana!
What the fuck did you just call me?
-Make it $1500 now.
-No, no, no.
That's not happening.
-I'm not putting more money in this.
-Stop thinking about what you're putting,
start believing about
what you're getting out.
Why break even when
you can make a profit?
I learned that in a TED Talk.
You ever heard of Gary Vee?
[exhales]
Uh, Montana.
-We'll take the Red Octobers.
-All right.
Look, I'm a little short
on the $1,500, okay? You mind?
[artist]
Yo, Montana!
-Okay, yeah.
-Okay, all right, all right.
Yo, I changed my mind.
I'm gonna go with them Red Octobers.
-Man--
-Hold the fuck up!
What's going on?
-What bullshit operation is this?
-Thanks, Montana.
You got people stealing my shoes.
Don't even worry, bro!
I know people! You're fired.
Go ahead and say it. You miss me.
You miss me. C'mon!
Tell me you miss me.
You know you a pain in the ass.
Sometimes.
-I do miss this.
-Ugh!
-[Devin laughing]
-Yeah!
See that?
Let's get this paper.
-Let's do it.
-[Devin laughing]
Can we eat first?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-What the fuck are those?
-The Kyrie 4s.
Friends and family,
only 100 on the planet.
-And that dumbass is wearing them?
-Dumbass? Whoa, slow down.
Why go to the dark side, bruh?
Look, shoes were made to be worn,
not locked in the closet to collect dust.
You give me the Eminem 4s,
I'm rocking them bitches all day.
Undefeateds too, 10,000 steps a day.
-Up and down Fairfax, all day long.
-[laughs]
Walking the Boulevard
'til the bars close.
[Nori] [sighs] Stop.
You can't be seen in the factory settings.
You gotta lace 'em first.
All right.
Mh-hm.
-So you like 'em?
-Yeah, they're dope.
And, most importantly,
-they're real.
-Yeah.
I am so glad you talked me out
of those Jordan 3 1/2s.
[watch beeps]
That's another hour,
which means another dollar for Nori.
Fifty dollars.
Right, there you go.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
-[Stuey] This guy? I got 'em.
-Yeah.
Mind if I ask
what you've been looking for?
'Cause all day, you've been checking out
the inside of those Retro Jordan 1s.
Look at you, knowing
the proper names and shit.
Hey, what can I say? I got a great Sensei.
Well, grasshopper.
Um
Don't know why I'm telling you this,
but
the first pair I ever flipped
were my dad's 1s,
with his initials on the label, and
I don't know, ever since
ever since he passed away, I've kind of
been hoping to find them again.
Stupid.
No, actually, I
I accidentally sold my brother's
X-Men Number Two when we were kids.
He beat the hell out of me for it.
I've been looking for them ever since.
Yeah, that's
kind of the same.
[jazzy hip hop music playing]
[groans]
-[Shawn] What's going on?
-What's going on?
What's going on?
-What you got for me?
-Check it out, check it out.
-Check it out.
-What's up, Shawn?
It's me, Bobby.
-What's going on, man?
-I come in here all the time.
All right, cool, cool.
All right.
Cool, I need to fill out some paperwork,
and let you know when they sell.
What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?
Paperwork?
It's a consignment shop,
you don't get paid until shoes sell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know that.
-Nori said you had a guy.
-That was me.
I was gonna give you five grand
for a pair of Off-White Jordan 1s.
Mm. Okay, but
what can you do for this right here?
I can't do nothing with these now.
I got like five pairs already.
But you could still-- Wait, wait.
You could still give us
like $5,000. At least $4,000.
-$3,000, something like that.
-[Shawn] I don't need these.
You'll need it eventually.
How much would you give me
for these right now?
-You acting off emotion.
-How much?
-How much?
-For you, man, I'd give you a $1,000.
-Hold on. Look online
-A thousand.
Look at this. Look at this.
Red Octobers.
-Sold.
-$5,500 at least.
-Sold?
-Sold.
-Cool, cool.
-You tripping.
-Shawn--
-Thank you, Shawn.
-Take care.
-Con artist.
[gentle piano music]
Thank you again.
-Thank you for what?
-I'll see you around, bruh.
You ain't gonna see me.
My niece gonna come here
and this whole place up.
Don't quote me. Hey, Devin!
Devin! I can get the money back still.
Devin!
-[woman] What is that you got there, babe?
-Something beautiful.
-[Christine] I bet it is.
-[Cleo] Hey, daddy.
-Hey, baby.
-There he is.
-There's we.
-[baby babbling]
Hello, baby.
Hi! Ball, yeah.
You got your ball?
Oh, quick thing,
dishwasher's broken,
so I figured we'd just dip into
the Hawaii fund, and get a new one.
No, no, I can fix that.
You can't fix that, daddy.
-[laughs]
-Really?
Right, you're not fixing it.
We'll get a new one.
I don't want to sound desperate,
-but I'm fucking desperate.
-I don't know what to tell you.
Scores like that
don't come along every day.
Do they? Sometimes
the perfect score is in front of us.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but
I overheard you say you was desperate.
You said you was fucking desperate,
which is why I think
you just need to hear me out.
Nori, are you sure
there's nothing you can do?
Like I said,
Saturday was the perfect storm.
Could be months before
something like that comes along.
A-ha! So, just please hear me out.
If you don't like what you hear,
you're back to where you started.
Nori, I need you with us.
-No.
-Look, for real. I'm being honest.
I got something important,
and it'll help all of us.
Fine.
-Fine.
-Yes!
But you better be on point.
-I'm done with your shit.
-Couldn't agree more.
I'm done with it too.
But I'ma need somewhere private.
There's a lot of people around.
Makes me nervous.
As you can see,
I'm a pretty simple man.
All it takes to keep me happy
is 2100 of my favorite sneakers.
That's the spot
I've been saving for 15 years,
the place of honor for the sneaker
I've been looking for my whole life:
the Zeros.
If I could get those,
I would trade my whole
entire collection.
My whole entire collection.
-So that's it?
-What?
Did you hear what he said?
Everyone heard what he said in the video
when he posted it two years ago.
Just one problem though,
there's not a single
picture of them anywhere.
The Zeros don't exist.
-Yeah, but what if they did?
-They don't.
-What if they did?
-They don't.
-But what if they did?
-But they don't.
-But what if they--
-Forget it.
The Zeros are an urban legend.
That's what I thought too,
until I saw this.
-Hit the lights real quick.
-What are you doing?
Turn around, don't look at my password.
All right, guys.
This is it.
The picture that started it all.
Germany, 1984.
A players-only, closed-door practice,
MJ's foot seen in a crowd of other feet.
But what's he wearing?
Yep, that's it, the Zero.
The Cold War ended,
the Berlin Wall came down,
Macaulay Culkin won our hearts
with Home Alone,
to a lesser extent, Home Alone 2,
but the shoes, still never been seen,
until they were seen here
in the City of Angels in 1993,
Paris in 2000,
Chicago, 2001, Orlando, 2002,
back in L.A., 2007, then nothing,
until they hit the Big Apple in 2013.
If you make it there,
you make it anywhere,
but they didn't make it nowhere, okay?
They weren't seen, heard of, no one even
heard a whisper of where they might be
until
this week.
Me, myself, and I
discovered that one of my
best friends, Hot Dog Daddy 2--
Hot Dog Daddy 2? Seriously?
What's his real name?
No clue, never met him,
that's not the point. Look,
Hot Dog Daddy 2 knows someone
whose brother went to a party,
and went with a guy in a band,
and he covered a song to his girl,
and she may know someone that
might know how to track down.
She went to a party,
yeah, so the brother,
he went to, and he was in a band,
and then they tracked down,
but she knows how to track down someone
that might know where they might be.
-[man] This switch is for the whole store.
-Oh, sorry. I was using it for ambiance.
Okay, guys, so what'd you think?
Honestly.
I've never been
more convinced of anything.
What the shit, Stuey?
When did you get here?
-I came in with you, you didn't notice?
-Can we just focus for a second?
By show of hands,
who was impressed by my presentation?
-We've established that I'm in.
-See? Yes.
-Yeah.
-Nori?
I'm torn.
On the one hand, you're an idiot.
On the other, you did manage
to find evidence I've never seen before.
Right? They're not
a unicorn, they're real.
Okay? It's like mermaids.
Think of your street rep
when you you're known to be part
of the squad that tracked them down.
Wait, so we're like,
we're like an actual squad now?
Are we like an actual squad now?
-Never call me again.
-He doesn't mean that.
-[watch beeps]
-Oh, that's another hour.
Keep it. I'm gone.
I'm sorry, man. It was a really
cool presentation, though.
-Thanks.
-I could tell a lot of work went into it.
Yay!
-All right.
-I love this movie.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. So much fun.
Peter Rabbit two times in a row.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, so what's next?
Peter Rabbit!
-Okay.
-No, no, she can't be serious.
Oh, she's serious.
-No.
-Yeah.
-There's gotta be something else.
-Yeah.
Peter Rabbit.
Yo, Devin, it's Bobby.
Stop treating me like a peasant.
Pick up. I'ma keep calling you.
We need to talk.
Don't send me to voicemail.
I have something to talk about.
I'ma calling 'til your battery die.
Pick up the phone!
Devin, this is the police.
Uh, call back Bobby Williams,
he has a great idea.
I can't remember which house it is.
Is it 454 or 455?
Oh wait.
I see it.
Okay, you know what?
Let's watch
Peter Rabbit.
-[both laughing]
-Yes!
Oh! Ah!
-What? You okay?
-Yeah,
I just gotta use the bathroom.
Hey, hey!
-Hey, hey!
-Hey, get out of my driveway!
I mean get out my driveway now!
What is with the hostility?
-And why we whispering?
-What you mean why we whispering?
Look, you already know.
Christine hates you.
-Me? What'd I do to her?
-Yes!
-Why hate me?
-You gonna act like you don't know?
That's not important.
What's is, have you given time
and consideration, a bit of thought
-about tracking down the Zeros with me?
-No, no. Zero.
-Zero about Zeros.
-I knew you was gonna say that.
Help me. Hold my
Well, my balance is off a bit.
A little help.
Is that--?
The shop.
It's you, me,
selling, customizing.
The dopest fucking spot in town.
Fucking our spot, man.
This is it.
-Where did you find that?
-Find?
-I been had this.
-For five years?
Look at this, look at that.
That's the logo.
It's your logo.
I used to know how bad you wanted it.
When I saw you in that line,
I knew you still did.
Responsibilities of
home ownership, right?
-What you guys talking about over there?
-Not the time, Terry.
Go get your ass
-Go, go.
-Not now?
-[Devin] Go in the house!
-I'll catch you tomorrow.
[Devin] Thank you.
-Who is that?
-Listen,
Let it go.
Like I did.
What about the loot? The loot.
You're gonna need your money back.
If you don't get out of
my driveway in 30 seconds,
I'm calling the cops.
Let's go inside.
Look, hey, hey!
If you follow me,
not only will I call the cops,
I will get on Facebook,
and I'm gonna tell your cousin
what really happened to the cat.
Fine.
But for the record,
that cat was an asshole.
It knew where the litter was.
It chose to shit in my bed.
Go home, Bobby.
Well what you gonna do? Huh?
You gonna go back to work
and get a job? No!
Jobs are for losers.
Look, I know what you're thinking.
Why hire me back after I haven't been
in the workforce for over three years?
Well, it's simple.
Passion.
Unadulterated,
unbridled,
unwavering
passion
for in-house,
corporate graphic design.
You're unwavering, huh?
-Yeah.
-Listen.
I hate this place
as much as the next guy,
but I have 11 kids at home,
so I have to feed them.
I also have a wife.
She thinks she can win
an Olympic gold medal
for most Amazon packages delivered
-in a single day.
-Mm-hm.
That means daddy's gotta work, all right?
So you can waver all you want,
just get your job done.
So does that mean--?
Yeah, you can start tomorrow.
Just wear a jacket, all right?
-And a tie.
-Yes, yes, of course. Um
-Is there anything else?
-Yeah.
Put on some dress shoes.
Black, brown, I don't care.
I prefer Oxfords
or Derbys.
You know, the classics?
Something like this.
