Podcast Description

Welcome to the Podcast

In this episode, we dive deep into the latest moves across the sneaker industry — from insider recruitment shifts to sample leaks and upcoming collabs — nothing is off the table.
We kick things off with the latest buzz around Adidas (46:33), covering their new direction, strategies, and who they’re bringing on board to shake up the brand. Then we move to Nike Samples (59:15), asking the big question: will old Nike samples finally hit the market, and is this the start of a new trend in sneaker releases?

At 1:18:22, we discuss Nike job cuts and what Elliot’s recent staff changes mean for the company’s long-term strategy. Shortly after, we break down Tyler’s surprising role in Nike’s latest commercial (1:23:30), exploring if this is just a cameo or the beginning of a bigger rollout.

Next, we cover some gaming and sneaker crossover at 1:32:19, where NBA 2K25 may have accidentally revealed Jayson Tatum’s upcoming sneaker. Was it a real leak or just clever marketing? We unpack the possibilities.

The conversation heats up at 1:36:00 with a head-to-head debate: Salehe vs. Action Bronson vs. Joe Freshgoods — who’s really owning the best sneaker collab colorway right now? After that, we head into the always-entertaining Sneaker Court of Public Opinion (1:50:04), where we put the week’s hottest topics on trial.

Finally, we rapid-fire through Discount Topics (1:54:10), highlighting quick hits and news stories you need to know, before closing out with the outro (2:05:02).

👟 From Adidas’ recruitment shakeups to Nike’s shifting strategies, from gaming leaks to high-profile collabs, this episode is packed with insight, debate, and sneaker culture at its finest.

Podcast Description

Welcome back to the podcast.

In this jam-packed episode, we’re joined by special guest Collywood for an unfiltered deep dive into the sneaker world from China and the Unauthorized world. We cover the latest stories, controversies, and designs shaping sneaker culture today, from legendary collabs to courtroom showdowns.

We kick things off with Collywood’s perspective on the current state of the industry before moving into some heavy-hitting topics. We break down the Kobe AF1 line and how it compares across different Air Force 1 models, giving insight into why Kobe’s influence still holds weight in today’s sneaker scene.

From there, we unpack the Edison vs. StockX court cases and explore how lawsuits are reshaping resale culture, authenticity checks, and consumer trust. Then, we turn to Nike’s brand-new sneaker pattern design, analyzing what it means for future silhouettes and whether the Swoosh is pushing the boundaries or recycling old ideas.

Of course, we couldn’t skip the burning question: will Travis Scott leave Nike? We debate the future of one of the most influential sneaker partnerships of the last decade, and what it would mean if Travis were to take his talents elsewhere.

Later, we bring back the Sneaker Court of Public Opinion, where we take the bad behaviors to court and give our judgement. Finally, we close things out with discount talk, touching on smaller key sneaker news and information.

👟 Whether you’re a hardcore collector, a reseller keeping an eye on the market, or just someone who loves sneaker culture, this episode has everything you need to stay plugged in.
