“And just celebrate with the people that have been a part of this whole thing for my entire career.”
While at the “Got Sole” sneaker convention in Los Angeles with his 13-year-old son, Samuel Affleck, Ben Affleck learned he passed on his love of sneakers.
In a video shared on Got Sole’s Instagram page, Ben and Samuel shared with fans their favorite type of sneaker, and their expensive taste.
While talking with one of the content creators, Sam revealed he has two favorites when it comes to sneakers. “Favorite sneaker? That's really hard,” Sam admitted.
“Probably either the Air Diors, or those, the Air Red Octobers,” he continued.
And upon walking into the convention, Samuel spotted the Air Diors at the first table they stopped at, and in his size no less.
But when Ben learned the price of his son’s favorite shoe, he had a typical dad response.
“You just like those because they’re expensive,” Ben first said, after hearing the shoes cost $6,000. “No, they’re tough,” Sam responded. “I always said they look good.”
“That’s a lot of lawns you gotta mow there,” the dad of three retorted.
Fans in the comment applauded Ben for sharing his interests with Samuel.
“Great dad move! Love when parents get their kids involved in their hobbies,” one commenter wrote.
“Sam had expensive taste… W dad for having fun with his kid,” another fan wrote.
As far as Ben’s favorite shoe, he said, “you know, I can’t just pick just one. Depends on day to day,” he explained.
Samuel, however, suggested that his dad’s favorite shoe, saying his dad “loves the De La Soul SB’s.”
“I do like those a lot,” Ben agreed with his son.
