Lakeith Stanfield is Sneaker Shopping‘s newest guest. Known for his role on FX’s Atlanta alongside Donald Glover and his most recent film Sorry to Bother You, the witty actor joins host Joe La Puma at Flight Club’s New York location to talk about his career and kicks. Shooting the episode barefoot, Stanfield discusses wearing Jordans in the first season of Atlanta while wearing adidas in the second season. Donning a Gucci shirt, he also touches upon wearing platformed Converses when starring in Straight Outta Compton in addition to sharing his respect for Tyler, the Creator and collaborative efforts with Converse.

Take a look at the episode above to see what he copped and let us know your thoughts. Sneaker Shopping followers can also check out last week’s installment starring Wiz Khalifa.
