Cody Rhodes said Roman Reigns’ custom Jordans were good for business. He also shared his belief that Jey Uso should have his own sneaker.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes appeared on the latest episode of Complex’s Sneaker Shopping series. In one highlight, Rhodes was asked about Roman Reigns’ custom Jordan boots. He recalled thinking that they were good for wrestling. Rhodes also teased his interest in getting a shoe.
“I knew something big was up. I’d seen the stuff hit social, I thought, ‘Oh, this looks great.’ For me, just because I grew up in the wrestling business, my mind sometimes go to, ‘Well, it’s good for wrestling,’ and not, ‘Hey, you’re gonna be fighting this guy in a few hours and screw his shoes, whatever.’ But my mind went to, ‘Good for wrestling.’ I also saw that the Nike kind of luminary figures were lingering around backstage, and I just tried all I could to make it clear that I was gonna try and be a big star that night.
“So every time someone was around, I just would be right in front of my poster, just trying like, ‘Hey, if you guys wanna make some other shows, another set, I’ll be all about it.’ But Roman, that fits him perfectly and fits the Bloodline specifically. There is a specific fandom for The Bloodline, that’s their world, those shoes.”
Cody Rhodes: Jey Uso Should Get A Shoe
Cody Rhodes was also asked to name a WWE star who should get their own signature sneaker. He pointed to his former tag team partner, Jey Uso. Rhodes noted that Uso was superkicking people with his shoes.
“I think if somebody right now needed a shoe to come out for them, and that be their specific version, it would probably be an Air Force, specific version for Jey Uso,” Rhodes said. “A ‘Yeet’ [specific shoe] because I feel like anyone else, like me, I’m wearing on the run-ins, I’m wearing these at the airport. He’s wearing them, not just at the airport in the run-ins, but he’s super-kicking people with these shoes, so that’s a whole thing.”
