Ep 3. Todd Gurley Goes Sneaker Shopping with Complex

Todd Gurley, star running back for the Atlanta Falcons, makes an appearance on Season 5 of “Sneaker Shopping with Complex.” The show follows Gurley as he enters the Stadium Goods store in New York City, getting ready to browse through their selection of sneakers. Host Joe La Puma guides him through the process, asking Gurley about his personal style and preferences as they stroll down the aisles.

Gurley explains how growing up, he and his friends primarily wore Jordans, and how his taste in sneakers has evolved since then. He notes that he likes to wear sneakers that match his outfits, and emphasizes the importance of comfortable footwear for an athlete like himself. Gurley also talks about his work with Adidas, and the various signature shoes he’s had released with the brand.

As he peruses the shelves, Gurley’s eyes light up over a pair of special edition Versace sneakers, which he describes as being “too crazy” for him. He then settles on a pair of Adidas Yeezy Boosts, calling them his “go-to shoe.” La Puma also shows him a pair of Nike Air Mags, famously featured in the iconic film “Back to the Future.” Gurley notes that they’re “the shoes everyone wants,” but ultimately decides they’re not the right fit for him.

Throughout the episode, Gurley reflects on his journey to the NFL, recalling times when he never thought he’d make it to where he is today. He discusses his upbringing in North Carolina, where he grew up idolizing former running backs like Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James. Gurley also talks about his college years at the University of Georgia, where he became one of the most sought-after players in the country.

As the episode wraps up, Gurley heads to the checkout counter with a handful of new sneakers. He expresses how much he enjoys the process of shopping for sneakers and notes that it gives him a chance to see what’s going on in the fashion world. The episode ends with Gurley reflecting on the importance of being able to give back to his community, both through his philanthropic work and by inspiring young kids to chase their dreams.
