Will Smith Says Jaden Only Has One Pair Of Shoes Will Smith recently opened up on his enigma of a child, Jaden Smith. With the young boy making a name for himself recently for being introspective to a fault and some would say just plain odd , Will gave a bit of insight into the way his youngest son thinks. As Will revealed to Esquire Magazine , Jaden simply refuses to be a “slave to money,” and doesn’t want to feel like he needs anything material that badly: You never lose the mentality. It’s such a strange thing. Jaden, my sixteen-year-old, he has one pair of shoes. He has three pair of pants and he has five shirts. Total. He has refused to be a slave to money. I so respect that. The younger generation is less of an ownership generation, anyway. And it’s such an interesting thing to watch, because I came from a middle-class background, but, you know, our lights and gas would be cut off from not paying the bill. I grew up in a house where you would need the kerosene heaters in the winter in case the bills didn’t get paid. And he’s from the complete other end of the spectrum. And it’s so interesting to me that from growing up in that space, he could see the need for things in a way that he’s rejecting. He’s like, “I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way” — but I would like him to get another pair of shoes. Well, we have to say, that is a very healthy mentality on the surface. But Jaden…bruh. At least get a pair of chucks or something. Switch it up every now and then!
