Anatomy of a Sneaker Scam
Description
In this episode, I recap the recent Undefeated 4 that heavily featured EQL. I also recap the Awake 5 release and talk through some of the conspiracy theories about numbered pairs and backdooring. I also do a deep dive into the Anatomy of a Sneaker Scam using the recent Awake 5 FNF link scam as the example. Finally I discuss my part in a heated Twitter Space about this scam.
