Ben Affleck‘s reaction to his son, Samuel, eyeing expensive sneakers in a convention video had commenters praising him for keeping the kids grounded. On Sunday, Affleck took Samuel, the youngest of the three children he shares with his ex Jennifer Garner, to the Got Sole sneaker convention in Los Angeles. Unsurprisingly, the teenager, a sneakerhead like his dad, set his sights on the Dior Air Jordan 1s worth $6,000, but the actor unflinchingly called them “expensive.”
Ben Affleck jokes after son eyes expensive sneakers
Ben Affleck‘s priceless reaction to his son Samuel eyeing expensive sneakers at the Los Angeles convention went viral for what it said about his parenting. A video from the event exhibited the teenager showing interest in a pair of $6,000 Dior Air Jordan 1s but it was his dad’s response that stole the show.
After learning the sky-high price of the shows, Affleck, without hesitation, told Samuel, “That’s a lot of lawns you gotta mow there!” He further poked fun at his son, adding that he only liked those shoes “because they’re expensive.” After hearing this, Samuel turned toward the actor and explained, “No they’re tough. I’ve always said they look good!”
Ben Affleck, who shares three children with Jennifer Garner, and his son Samuel seemed to be enjoying themselves in the sneaker convention video. The clip also showed Got Sole founder Jonathan DiModica sharing the full scenario: “Sam goes, ‘I need to find some Air Diors.’ We turn left and there’s a pair.” DiModica then revealed Affleck’s reaction, “Ben’s like, ‘No No No No.'”
Besides the hilarious father-son moment, the Oscar winner opened up about his favorite sneaker of all time. “You know I can’t just pick just one,” said the actor, but his son quickly revealed that the Nike De La Souls are his dad’s favorite. Affleck responded with an affirmative, claiming he does “like those a lot.”
