For the latest episode of Complex’s Sneaker Shopping, host Joe La Puma is joined at Stadium Goods by World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe.
Throughout the interview, Rapinoe discusses getting the “Concord” Air Jordan 11s as a kid, Michael Jordan being her hero when she was growing up, getting congratulated by LeBron James when the U.S. women’s national team won the World Cup, sharing sneakers with her girlfriend Sue Bird, Nike’s “Be True” collection, and more.
“Michael Jordan was my hero. I had the life-sized cardboard, I would rip the pages out of Sports Illustrated and put them on the wall everywhere, I just tried to emulate everything he did. It was ridiculous.”
For the entire discussion and a look at all of the pairs that Rapinoe walked away with, check out the full episode in the video player above.
