Obsessive Sneaker Disorder is back with a special episode that was recorded live at the African American Footwear Forum that took place in Portland, OR on August 10, 2019.

In part 1, Sean Williams and Dee Wells interview sports-writer and author Robert 'Scoop' Jackson who shared stories about the first sneakers that he fell in love with, what it meant to grow up on the south-side of Chicago and how he threatened his editor that he'd leave SLAM if Allen Iverson was not photographed for the cover.

While interviewing Scoop, who walks in the room than none other than NBA All-Star Baron Davis.  Scoop shares a story about the time he asked Baron one question that prompted a memorable response.

In part 2, we're joined by Wilson Smith III, the recipient of the Jan Ernst Matzeliger for his contributions to the footwear industry and being the first Black footwear designer.
