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.

Welcome back to the podcast.

Episode Description:
This week’s episode is stacked with big names, bold collabs, and some surprising sneaker headlines that push the culture in unexpected directions.

We open things up (00:00) with the Intro, before diving into Drake vs Amazon at 53:29, where we unpack the wild story of Drake selling sneakers on eBay and what it says about resale, distribution, and hype culture. At 1:00:46, the spotlight shifts to the unveiling of the new Melissa Diesel sneaker, a high-fashion meets streetwear moment that could shake up the scene.

At 1:08:28, we check in on Reebok, with more projects in the pipeline that hint at a strong push to reestablish its place in today’s sneaker game. Then, at 1:21:53, the world of wrestling collides with sneakers as we talk about Roman Reigns getting his own signature sneaker—a crossover we didn’t see coming but one that could open doors for athletes outside the traditional basketball/football lane.

The energy keeps rolling at 1:27:27, where we cover Adidas and Bad Bunny’s brand-new silhouette, a bold move for both the brand and the artist as they look to carve out space beyond simple colorways. By 1:47:08, the focus turns to the Awake x Jordan 5, where excitement about the collab meets frustration over limitations and release strategies.

At 2:02:25, we enter the Court of Public Opinion, putting some of the week’s hottest sneaker controversies on trial, followed by Discount Topics at 2:09:30, where we rapid-fire through smaller but equally interesting sneaker headlines. Finally, we wrap everything up with the Outro at 2:18:26.

From Drake’s unexpected eBay play, to Roman Reigns’ surprise sneaker lane, to the ongoing conversation about collab culture and accessibility, this episode digs deep into the stories shaping sneakers right now. If you love hype, history, and heated debates, this is one you won’t want to miss.

At 43:11, it’s the Reebok Premier Ultra—a first look at the sleek, performance-inspired silhouette coming Spring 2026. Then, at 52:23, we get into Collabs Gone Too Far—has the saturation of sneaker collaborations started to hurt OG classics and general releases?

By 57:00, we’re on the Slippery Slope of the Swoosh, questioning Nike’s strategy of making releases hyper-limited and the long-term impact on the brand. At 1:29:14, we break down the Yuh-Gu-Oh Air Max 95, a playful yet divisive drop from Nike.
