Podcast Description

Welcome back to the podcast.

In this episode, we’re joined by a special guest and take a deep dive into sneaker culture — from personal journeys to exclusive releases and unexpected collabs.

We kick things off with Anish (01:54 ), who shares his sneaker story, early influences, and some of his most memorable pickups. From hunting rare pairs to building a rotation that reflects both style and passion, Anish gives us an inside look at what drives his love for sneakers and how the community continues to evolve.

At 1:00:56 , we move into the topic of regional exclusives — those hard-to-get Nike and Jordan releases that drop in select cities or countries. We break down why brands are leaning more into localized launches, how it impacts the resale market, and what it means for collectors around the world.

Then at 1:30:58 , we shift gears to the Air Max 90, exploring whether Nike is quietly setting the stage for a major comeback of the iconic silhouette. Are we about to see a new wave of hype for one of Nike’s most classic sneakers? We break down recent releases and marketing trends that suggest something big might be brewing.

Next up, at 1:42:30 , we dive into Reebok’s latest collaboration with PlayStation, a partnership that’s blending gaming and sneaker culture in a fresh way. We discuss how this collab compares to others in the gaming space and what it could mean for Reebok’s revival strategy.

At 1:51:59 , we enter the Sneaker Court of Public Opinion — where we take bad behavior to court and give our judgement. Then, at 2:03:45 , we close things out with Discount Topics, running through a rapid-fire session of smaller sneaker headlines, quick takes, and hidden gems from the week.

Finally, we wrap up with the outro at 2:12:38 , closing another packed episode full of insights, laughs, and sneaker knowledge.

👟 From exclusive releases to brand revivals, from Air Max nostalgia to PlayStation collabs, this episode captures everything that makes sneaker culture so dynamic and unpredictable.
