A Bond Founded on Footwear

Ben Affleck and his youngest son, Samuel, have displayed a mutual enthusiasm for sneaker culture, notably on a recent outing. The pair were spotted courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game, showcasing their identical Nike Jordan sneakers, further emphasizing their shared love for footwear.

Shopping at Got Sole Convention

During a joint appearance at the Got Sole sneaker convention, an exclusive pair of Dior Air Jordan 1 sneakers caught Samuel’s attention. This moment was shared via video on the Got Sole Instagram account, where Affleck could be seen humorously reacting to his son’s interest in the expensive shoes.

“You like those because they’re expensive,” Affleck commented, to which Samuel replied, “No, they’re tough. I’ve always said they look good.”

Pricey Sneakers and Fatherly Jokes

Affleck, known for his candid sense of humor, joked about the hefty price tag attached to the Dior sneakers, stating, “That’s a lot of lawns you gotta mow there.” Initially released in 2020 for $2,000, the value of these shoes has dramatically appreciated, sparking concern for Affleck.

Affleck’s Sneaker Preferences

Despite his reservations about the price of the Dior sneakers, Affleck actively engaged in the sneaker exploration with Samuel, examining the shoes closely. Samuel confirmed that Ben’s favorite shoes are the Nike De La Soul SBs, currently sold out on Nike but available from resellers at around $400.

Family Time and Celebrations

While it remains uncertain if the outing was intended for Samuel’s upcoming birthday present, the family appeared to enjoy quality time together. On March 2, Ben Affleck, Samuel, and ex-wife Jennifer Garner were photographed having fun at a paintball party, displaying a cohesive family dynamic.

Future Footwear Watch

As fans of both Affleck and Samuel eagerly await their next public appearance, attention will likely focus on their footwear choices, especially in light of their recent sneaker shopping adventure.
