VIDEO: Sneaker Talk With Jim Jones
While doing press for his new documentary, This Is Jim Jones (which hits stores next Tuesday), the Capo invited us into his NYC studio to talk about one thing we both love: sneakers. Complex’s Dec/Jan cover star, who’s currently on his splash campaign, twittering a new pair of sneakers he’s rocking every day from now until September, spoke on his kick game back in the day, and then invited brands to give him his own shoe (while throwing a few jabs at other rappers with signature sneakers).
Oh, and wait till the end of the video to get Capo’s take on the Air Yeezy. Watch the video below. Jones!

Like I just typed on nahright.com ,
Um, who the fuck would wear these? We can’t even find 50,000 people to buy this fag’s album, nevermind slide their feet into his shitty sneaker. When will this dude stop being his only fan above 14 years old??

Veezy June 22, 2009 at 2:51 pm
haha you guys up here defending jim jones are bigger faggots then perez hilton.
theres a reason why kanye has his own sneakers, he’s sold out stadiums across the globe, done 800k + in a week
…jones barely managed about 44,000 units looool, a real trendsetter there. I didn’t see him on the forbes list like kanye or jay, did you?? haha
danny June 22, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Wow! there is alot of hate in this world. Only if all of you would stop hating not just on jimmy but everyone else because most likely you are probably hhatin on your best friend. Give this nigga a break, he not just rapping he is trying to extend his career by trying other avenues. Just relax and if all of you haters would see him tomorrow you will be the same one asking for his picture and autograph. Fall Back! Haters!!!!
Word? June 22, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Really Jim Jones? You were that fly? Yea, you’re from Harlem, but you’re the same cat who rocked suits made out of flags. Looking like the new millennium version of plaid suit rocking carpet sellers.
GirllyFat June 23, 2009 at 12:56 pm
” HATTER “
Fuck JIm Jones June 22, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Man fuck jim jones he one of the biggest haters in the game and he wonder why nobody would support his shoe line if he had one. Every rapper with style in the industry was rockin the Yeezys lets see how many ppl rock Jim Jones shoe if he even get a chance to drop one..Fuck bird gang too and skull gang
GirllyFat June 23, 2009 at 12:58 pm

daddy June 22, 2009 at 9:28 pm
yo jim jones and dipset got they own “splash” going on and i respect that. they come up with their own words and own trends which is dope but its hella funny to see jones bash on the yeezys and talk about making a sneaker brand blowup. id love to see that happen because i know it wont. many rappers have already tried and failed.
Maluco June 22, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Jim Jones is the biggest hater. He’s just uncreative, ghetto, talentless and a waste of talk and sperm.
superstar June 23, 2009 at 2:32 am
like i siad on missinfo blog:
the cornball he is referring to is Kanye…
I doubt any1 would camp out days for a Jim Jones sneaker IJS.
Good clip at the end!
But those NIKE on his feet is a PLUS!
ceez June 23, 2009 at 2:09 pm
i think the shoe will look great!! jones is a creative bussiness man(nohomo) before a rapper…
PG June 23, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Every pair of jeans Jim Jones wears has holes in them. He’s a fool. He was only rockin some Air Triax’s and he probably didn’t even know that. Not to mention the Yeezy’s are sick
zachblack44 June 24, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Jim has no style whatso ever….he just jumped dick on this streetwear scene like a year ago. He is so lame somebody gased him up cuzz he be suckin himself.
GoILL July 8, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Hey Jim- Remember when you were on Confessions of Fire promo tour with Cam in Chicago. You were tryin to holla at some bird through her sun roof. She told you to beat it, and then she drove off but not before she drove over both of your feet in the process. Now that’s pimpin! SPLASHY
ThaWindy July 9, 2009 at 4:32 pm
The injured reserved pg, in street clothes, yelling that the starting pg is a bumb.
Black Jesus July 9, 2009 at 7:16 pm
This fuggin guy. Yousa clown Jimmy.
Bystander July 17, 2009 at 10:04 am
I respect Jones’ splash on all but he rocks general releases he dont got no QS no Retros no OGs and pretty much everything he rocks ( on his feet ) you can find at Foot Locker. No disrespect to the dude at all cus his music is fire but if he did come out wit a sneaker i think it wud fall through.
I mean he rocked the piss poor version of the Yeezys (Nike RT1) so…..?
Stev-O August 2, 2009 at 4:02 am
