What “unseens”?

rare kicks that some dudes get and aren't allowed to post pics of em on social media or anything or else they risk losing their connect. Kenny actually talks about it in the interview, how he's gotten some LeBrons before LeBron himself, and he couldn't post em or else Nike would come down on him
