I love how deeply uncomfortable he is on spending so much on shoes. Tony's a real one.

Tony Hawk needs to be talked about like he's a goat in the sports genre. He's up there with Michael Jordan, Lebron, Babe Ruth, etc. He really did have a whole generation loving to skateboard and introduced so many new people. Tony Hawk is just an all around great person and a beast at skating.

Finally they invited someone on the show that can actually talk

Not only did the price hurt him, but all of the sneakers he purchased were for his kids and friends. Admirable and solid role model.

Crazy how the greatest skater of all time seems like just a regular guy. Humility is always a good look.

Honestly I kinda wanna see someone go through the whole show, get to the point where they ask what they gonna get and just say “nah I’m good” 🤣

The guy is worth $150 million and was still shocked at that price 😂

[mudassirawad]

tony hawk is the most "regular" looking badass dude ever.

[VeixxBeats]

Wow now this is what I call a legendary video

[virgilthemob]

I like how honest he was about his sneaker preferences and opinions. Hearing the king of skateboarding diss Vans' lowtop designs and the way they pushed his own line out of the market is pretty refreshing. Also, the way he cringed at the prices made me laugh. He's keeping it real after all.

Tony hawk is like the Michael Jordan for the skating community

[UntiedHawaii]

The throwback feels from that intro! 🔥

[chevychased]

He almost threw up in his mouth as he was getting ripped off.

[mayagardiner]

Tony was just talking about how he started a brand to make cool affordable clothing for kids and then this place charges him over 2 thousand for some shoes that are only worth like 20

[GankTown]

Met tony hawk in a pizza shop late as hell in New York last month he was cool as hell had to get a pic with the 🐐

[StrictlyChosen]

his face when she said the total price 😂😂😂😂😂

[froey]

$500 for a pair of vans. Never in my life I thought I'd see that.

[ogburrrito]

Half the people who wear supreme don't even know it's a skate company

[TheStudioMouse]

Probably the coolest guest to go on the show. No bling, no swearing or cringy antics. Just a genuinely cool human

[koffee_val]

I like how he was “oh ok”. He prob thought he was choosing the cheaper ones but they turned out to be really expensive. He prob didn’t wanna back out on camera so he just bought them.
