There's one essential key to living in Texas, boots. And not just any boots, but boots stamped with the t on the bottom. It's a Koba. ATL boys are here in Texas, so we are gonna take them to the Koba's and get them fitted out in a true Texas fashion. Let's go. To the intro. Alright. The boys' first Decova experience. How to roll? Hey. How are you? These are my favorite. Tier Worse, they wear down really well. What do you think of this? Feels like a language I don't speak. Yeah. I need a boot consultant. The Jacks? No. I might have to do it. What what are you going to do? Here's the poop. I had a lot of coffee today. Giant gator. Wait. That's for $3,000. Want to touch it, bro? Low key. These are fire too. These are the black versions of these. This is my equivalent. I'm like a kid in a candy store. This is my love language career. What are we thinking, Michael? I'm overwhelmed. Jack's first pair of boots.
