The Rickey Thompson x Alexander Wang partnership is still going strong and we are not mad at it. In early June, the popular YouTuber starred in his first Wang campaign promoting the brands’ Wash + Go collection and now he’s back with a hilarious new infomercial announcing their Stadium Sneaker. “Are you tired of wet, sloppy, soggy shoes?” Thompson asked. “Rickey Thompson here with the new Stadium Sneaker by Alexander Wang, they’re waterproof,” he said while promoting the sneakers’ durability.

Cleaning dirty sneakers can be a real hassle, but these new Wang sneaks promise to be stiff competition for everyday spills and stains. If you’re recognizing a pattern in the new Collection 2 2019 from Wang, it’s that every item is durable which is rare in the luxury fashion space where one mishap can ruin your designer pieces.

The Stadium Sneaker is priced at $495 and comes in white, black, and mineral yellow. Check them out below and purchase here.
