Complex’s ‘Sneaker Shopping’ series is fast becoming the place for football sneaker heads to add to their extensive collection of kicks, and for the latest episode, host Joe La Puma is joined at Stadium Goods by World Cup winner Megan Rapinoe.
Following on from Kylian Mbappe’s recent trip to Flight Club in Los Angeles, Megan Rapinoe headed to Stadium Goods in New York, where she chatted with host Joe La Puma about her style, receiving congratulations from LeBron, getting Jordan 11s as a kid, and receiving Off-White 1s from Virgil. That all came before the real business though, where she went on to select four sneakers that set her back a princely four-figure sum.
Displaying one of the advantages of her fame, Rapinoe was wearing a yet-to-be-released black colourway of the Nike LDWaffle Sacai as she talked and shopped. She has been a prominent figure in the media following the USWNT’s World Cup success, and she now follows in the footsteps of the likes of Ronaldo, and Paris Saint-Germain pair Mbappe and Neymar, who spent $18,000 in the series in the summer of 2017.
Not bad company to be in.
