Famous sneakerhead Jacques Slade of Today in Sneaks (check it out here) happened to be in the right Foot Locker at the right time when he was the subject of a hidden-camera prank on Ellen.
The prank involved an ostensible employee of the sneaker retailer acting in a bizarre fashion, but Slade maintained a cool, calm and collected demeanor throughout the exchange. And for his stoicism, he received Ellen DeGeneres’ “The Most Patience in a Hidden Camera Prank” award, as well as a $1,000 Foot Locker gift card (and a bunch of free publicity for his sneaker vlog).
You can see the video below. It’s not the funniest hidden camera prank in the world, but not bad for daytime TV.
