Jaden Smith only owns one pair of shoes

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

According to Dad, at least

It’s such a strange thing. Jaden, my sixteen-year-old, he has one pair of shoes. He has three pair of pants and he has five shirts. Total. He has refused to be a slave to money. I so respect that. The younger generation is less of an ownership generation, anyway. And it’s such an interesting thing to watch, because I came from a middle-class background, but, you know, our lights and gas would be cut off from not paying the bill. I grew up in a house where you would need the kerosene heaters in the winter in case the bills didn’t get paid. And he’s from the complete other end of the spectrum. And it’s so interesting to me that from growing up in that space, he could see the need for things in a way that he’s rejecting. He’s like, ‘I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way’ — but I would like him to get another pair of shoes.”

But how many pairs of drawers does he have? And I really hope he has some of that bowling shoe spray

[walterharrow]

Those shoes still probably costs more than everything in my house

They go perfectly with his one facial expression.

This is why I hate clickbait headlines, because I saw this earlier with a link headline of something like "Will Smith reveals how many shoes Jaden ownes, you won't believe how many!" and I had zero interest in reading it. Seeing the title of "Jaden Smith only owns one pair of shoes" that this thread is titled actually got me interested to come in and read the rest of the article.

I have 3 pairs of shoes.

Man, I knew Jaden was a better person than me, this just proves it.

One pair of shoes, three pairs of pants, five shirts and one white Batman outfit for formal occasions

Jaden's comment on the story

[jagilki]

I currently have NO shoes, as my one remaining foot still isn't fully healed yet and once it is I'll have to get a special shoe for it.... and I'm assuming a shoe to go on fake leg.....

He also has one facial expression.

Is Will proud of that? His son looks like a sad sack for the rest of his life.

Dammit, I wanted to make a batsuit joke!




Also, what's with the media and the Smith children lately? It's like every time they do anything there are at least 3 websites reporting on it like it's a world-changing event.

Like where would white batman be effective? In the Arctic?

I actually feel sorry for Willow and Jayden Smith for looking too much like their father.

I like to think Jayden's the biggest Moon Knight fan in the world but couldn't find a costume in time for the wedding, so he just grabbed a Batman suit and painted it white to improvise.

I'm actually going to have to agree with Vince on this one. And take a shower now.

Don't forget, he also owns a Disney store Iron Man suit.

It's actually amazing to me how a charismatic, talented (in my opinion) guy like Will Smith can have a kid who's so utterly devoid of any acting ability that it'd be cheaper to just use a plank of wood and tape Jaden's face onto it.
