Revisiting his iconic role of Buggin Out, Giancarlo Esposito took his fans on a stroll through nostalgia. In a recently surfaced video posted on social media, the Breaking Bad actor was seen recreating a famous hood sequence. 

This scene from the 1989 movie shows Esposito arguing with a boy over his shoes. 

The recently emerged clip on Instagram revives a similar moment. The Better Call Saul actor, who has turned old from the time he did the movie can be seen getting shocked as a famous internet personality Dan Rue, accidently scuffs his White Cement 4s. 

Yelling at him “Yo! Yo!” the actor is then shown gathering a company. 

He then shouts at Rue for knocking him down with his bicycle, further saying, "Not only did you almost knock me down, but you stepped on my brand new white Air Jordans that I just bought!"
