Podcast Description

Welcome to the Podcast

We kick off today's episode with the drama surrounding the Shoe Surgeon. Things heat up as 2JayKicks accuses him of fraud and shady business practices—allegations that may be linked to the current chaos at Urban Necessities.

Next, we dive into the Shoe Surgeon’s legal settlement with Nike. Dominic is now required to pay an undisclosed fee and adhere to specific conditions, including using only authentic Nike sneakers and halting mass production of Nike-based customs.

Then it’s on to Fat Joe and the $20 million lawsuit that’s rocking his UP NYC sneaker business. We unpack the implications and what it could mean for the brand.

We also take a look at A Ma Maniére's upcoming drops—two new sneakers from the "Every Summer Tells a Story" collection: a Nike Air Max 95 and an Air Force 1. This is just the beginning of what looks like a major collaboration.

In investment news, Dwyane Wade and D’Angelo Russell are throwing their support behind Kicks Crew, not just as investors but as brand ambassadors. Wade brings his Way of Wade brand, while Russell adds his creative edge. Big moves ahead for this global sneaker marketplace.

In our final Quick Strike segment, we talk about Nike’s decision to unlock the Kobe Vault. We share our thoughts on how Nike should handle this legendary line going forward.

And as always, we wrap up with Sneaker Court of Public Opinion and some Discount Topics you won’t want to miss.

Welcome to the Podcast

Back at it this week and it seems like so are Jordan Brand as they tap into the high end fashion trends by introducing a triple deck'er thick sole Mule. Coming with glossy black leather, this seems like Jordan Brand actually want to step into the high end fashion industry.

Rumors have emerged that Travis might have a new Travis Scott High in 2026. The irony being that a sample mock up of a reverse mocha was leaked last week. We discuss what we would like to see.

Seems like Edison Chan is changing and developing original silhouettes. This seems to be a new take to Adidas over the last recent years and it seems to be that Edison wants to make his mark within the brand.

Sean Double U by Sean Wotherspoon with Zellerfeld and the RCVRY Slide by Joe Freshgood's company Every Now and then with New Balance is in big question this week. Are they inspirations of silhouettes to bring competition or is it a Big Bite on whats already out there. We talk about it.

Our final quick strike this week is all about the Zion Williamson Jordan 1 Stash Naruto sample that almost released. Should this come out and why have they surfaced now. Well we take a deep dive and investigate further.

We finish the podcast with Sneaker Court of Public Opinion and some Discount Topics.

We start the podcast this week by looking at the Nike and Levi's Collaboration with the Air Max 95. It seems like the collaboration is following the Jordan 4 Lewis Collaboration with 3 colorways to follow.

We then look as he Balenciaga Barefoot Zero shoe, which literally is a slipper that may not even be a slipper . You have to tune in to hear our thoughts.

It looks like the US is expecting another sneaker hike on prices as the US are still in discussions over tariffs. is the price hike warranted and will the prices drop once everything settles?

On the flips side, it looks like the UK and Europe may be having a restock on some very limited pairs of sneakers, which include the brick by brick, the SB Jordan 4's and even the A Ma Maniere Jordan 4 Violet Ore's. We break down the limitation and possibly of why this may be happening.

Finally we look at the new Nike Ava Rover and the expectation that we may be getting 7 Jordan 11's this fall time.

Welcome back to the Podcast

This week we touch on tariff's again as it seems all the major sneaker brands are looking for exceptions from the tariff's currently in place by the president of the USA. It also seems like the sneaker brands are looking to increase the prices of sneakers if necessary.

A third variation of the Jordan 1 Fragment Union has emerged and it seems like we may be getting another variation coming in 2026. We discus the Fragment legacy and what we believe they need to do going forwards.

Does quality matter? Well we dive into the sneaker quality in comparison to prices and see if the value of sneakers is worth the quality of leather and manufacturing.

We then look at the new Adidas Samba Football Pack as Adidas line up 8 Samba's associated with club colors to bring this amazing pack to the soccer and football audience.
