Recently, Complex released a YouTube video on their channel featuring Eli Manning. In the video, Eli Manning is seen going sneaker shopping with Complex’s Joe La Puma at Stadium Goods in New York City. In his conversation with La Puma, Eli talks about his favorite sneakers growing up.
The highlight of his conversation was an anecdote involving his father. For the first 12 years of his NFL career, Eli was signed to Reebok. So his family had access to Reebok’s catalog. One day, after reaching home, Eli’s father excitingly shared his new “Gunnit” shoes. Eli, confused, inspected the shoes only to realize that he meant 50 Cent’s G-Unit Reeboks. Never change Archie Manning!
