Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal Go Sneaker Shopping With Complex

[Music]

what's up everybody it's Joe from

complex we're in New York City at

Stadium Goods with the stars of

Roadhouse Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor

McGregor how you doing great going to do

some sneaker shopping today going to see

what they're feeling what they're not

and then hopefully they're going a bu

some sneakers are you paying we'll see

let's

[Music]

go guys I want to take it all the way

back when like sneakers started to

matter for you Connor is it true like

before the money you always said I was

only motivated by being able to get a

clean pair of Runners you said Runners

not sneakers you called them Runners

back then is that is that true that's

what we called them in Ireland we called

them we called them Runners we don't

call them sneakers but yeah I I often

think about where my obsession came or

my want to to to to acquire money came

from and it was to get Runners to have

clean Runners if you had a clean pair of

Runners it was a statement you know and

it was a statement that you're on to

something and it was important to me and

that that was that was that was why I

started acquiring money and started

trying to get it there we go it's

actually sacrilegious in Ireland if you

step on someone's Runners it's on you

know you don't step on a person rers

what happens someone steps on yours

someone steps on mine you know someone

steps on yours different yeah yeah yeah

Jake what about you where do you think

like the first memory of like sneakers

mattered to you I think the the pump

okay really was where it was yeah I

remember that moment it it like embedded

itself into my brain and all I could

think about was that half basketball

just trying to and then I got a pair and

it was like yeah for the rest of the day

I just ended up like pumping releasing

pumping releasing that's the reu play is

it exactly D Brown you know they did the

closeup in the slam dunk contest yeah

phenomenal really mattered but it was it

didn't matter I feel like I was like on

a spaceship yeah exactly and then like

mid 2000s you had like a Nike Dunk

moment and you were wearing this Nike

Dunk low oh yeah the LA Edition yeah

yeah yeah absolutely and the dunks had

like a big moment and like you see over

there how many dunks there are now but

talk about like early 2005's and so like

like wearing dunks around to me it's

always about the fit like fit around a

pant but also like to me the Lakers like

I grew up in LA and so I love obviously

love that color scheme but like it

always matched for me I like having my

accessories on my feet and then having

something more you know simple on top so

that was the beginning of where I

started to play around with like lots of

color and I love color like so and then

Connor one thing I love 2015 you come to

New York City 201 you're 11 you're 11

you're 11 months from beating Jose Aldo

you're 11 months and it's a Esquire

shoot oh yeah yeah oh yeah you know what

they got stolen on they stolen on me

would you believe really the L Vuittons

and and in again that after that day in

the article you're like these shoes are

crazy should I buy them and then I think

you ended up buying them and they they

got taken on I think they got stolen in

the airport really the same trip I swear

I swear to God on the way back they must

have just got take no back CU they were

gone but do you remember Esquire and

like that and you were going back and

forth in the article says I think you

said like yeah these have studs on them

I can give a swift kick to someone yeah

just you know I was just trying things

out for me I like them clean I like

freshness I'm more you know not so much

more color on the feet I want them clean

the the crisp White

and fresh like I got if I find that ni

PA of white I'm buying them tce you were

C they crazy on I kind of having a

little experiment now you know with with

a little bit hands yeah exactly and then

I want to take it to basketball before

we move on you said that you got gifted

these BR gifted these ones these are the

Bruce Lee Niks and I got gifted them by

a part A friend of mine a partner in in

the pub trade a guy called Johnny Mack

and he owns pubs in London called Mac

and Sons and they great pubs in in

London and he gifted them to me he knows

I'm a supporter of a supporter and a fan

of Bruce Lee and that's it I have them

in the house as away and then you know

Big Jake G shoe this is like my favorite

stuff when it's like an kind of like a

unexpected shoe KD KD7s what the KD7

those are just those are just the how

did you get that like do you remember

getting that pair I'll tell you how I

got that pair so I so I I actually lived

very nearby okay sneaker like a shoe

shop and people would line up and and at

night I'd come home and be like oh what

what's the what are they lining up for

yeah and I I was friends with the

manager and I was like I'd be like hey

do you have any of yeah and he sent me

the picture and I was like I love those

and that was that was that you love that

yeah and you wore those a bunch I I love

those shoes they're comfy like you can

be active in them but they just look

great and they yeah you know it's

[Music]

like Jake classic movie Donnie Darko

yeah you know when you're wearing a

classic shoe kind of throughout the

Adidas do you remember like that

specific shoe and was it like a costume

designer thing did you ever pick your

Footwear for movies oh yeah yeah yeah

okay yeah no Footwear is essential

there's a movie I did called End of

Watch where I was like comfortable

Footwear is like essential for the job

play a police officer and that I I you

know I just think that yeah it says a

lot obviously about your character and

like and also I think you sometimes you

want to be more comfortable or less

comfortable in your shoe you know when

you're playing characters there things

they going through or whatever I like

playing that game the gazelle yeah I I

remember classic shoe I know I here no

it was black and white classic like

suede gazelle you can't beat them there

we go see the connection yeah what about

Roadhouse any keepsakes from the set did

you guys take some of the Wardrobe or

anything did you save anything I know

that you you like to save sentimental

stuff but did you guys take anything

from I a PA of funky boots that I rock

in go onto the scene with that's that's

that's all I'm wearing so cowboy boots

yeah no they're crocodile crocodile skin

they're kind of like these but they're

crocodile are good I found hooked in and

that's how I make my entry into the

movie business fighting in those it's

like that's un I actually thought they

were comfortable to be honest yeah I

mean you know I'll bite down on the

gumshield and get it done talk about

Comfort I'll do it I'll get it done it

has to be done you know but I like them

they were they were comfortable I kept

shirts I kept shirts okay yeah I had

like they they made like these really

nice custom shirts and and I kept those

the Wardrobe was very good on set so

Jordan's uh Jake you were into the fear

threes and these that are coming back

like big Jordan Phase or or what you

said that you had like a lot of pairs

and then did you condense or or you

still have a time my childhood like my

childhood again like these I remember

them four times as Big M I can see them

on other people's feet as like a small

kid you know and so I think like to me

again yeah it's size and it's just the

style is just classic like everything

about it some business business I'd be

more interested in the business side of

it than than the actual Shield you don't

wear Jordans no I don't I I have I had
