During the IRL Kick broadcast, xQc, Buddha, and Omie were shopping at Urban Necessities, a sneaker and lifestyle reselling store. At one point, the streamers' attention was drawn to a showcase displaying a variety of rare and expensive shoes.

After discovering that the shop sold highly sought-after sneakers, such as Off-White Air Jordan 1s and Travis Scott Air Jordans 1s, the content creators' attention was drawn to the Dior x Air Jordan Lows and Highs.

When asked how much the low-top luxury shoe cost, the salesman revealed that it was worth $13,000. After some negotiation, xQc ended up purchasing the sneaker for Omie for $11,000.

During a conversation with his friend, the former Overwatch was heard saying:

"Oh, that's not that bad. You want them or not? Yeah, $11k is fine. If they fit you. If they don't fit, it is whatever. Go, go, go. Don't talk about it."
