  • Travis Scott is finally switching up his retro Air Jordans with a new colorway of his Cactus Jack Air Jordan 1 Lows inspired by his high school colors. Does the new palette make the “Elkins” Air Jordan 1 Low his best in a while? In this episode, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty break down the merits of those, LaMelo Ball’s Lanvin Curb/Osiris D3-looking Puma lifestyle shoe, and the 2025 flip on the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 4. They also reveal the hidden layer underneath the A-Cold-Wall x Nike Air Max Plus by breaking down the black pair with a bit of sandpaper. In this no-guest episode, they also catch up on big sneaker news topics like Nike and Bape settling their lawsuit, Adidas’ CEO reflecting on losing the German football team, and Riccardo Tisci’s next collab.

      I think tbh the guests keep the podcast afloat in all likelihood so in a way they probably have to have guests on, but I can't lie I do prefer the episodes with just the three of them bantering.
      I personally don't reeeeally understand the fascination with watching rich famous celebrities buying shoes, but I sorta get why they do it. I just feel like this podcast is way more interesting than the much more popular sneaker shopping series.

What about the Deion Sanders rerelease? The SLB also will be releasing in Brown. The D3 2001 was a big shot for skateshops back then. Loved and hated. As a Shopkeeper from 1997 till 2003 the D3 2001 was not a Skateshoe for the HC Guys (they were more into Lynx, Kalis, Stevie Williams and maybe the Muskas from Circa) it was more a poserravertrendfashion Shoe. And it was one of the easiest selling Shoe and pay the bills easily. Cuz all of that kooks who came. It was also a big Avril Lavigne Shoe. Peace from Austria!

    Can't wait for black/gum suede Sal 23s. They're pretty much the perfect skate shoe and we're beyond ubiquitous in mid 90s skate video. Just a good medium puff with a good sole. I bought some ds from 97 a few years back and skated them for a while, they still rocked, even at 20 years old. Totally held up. The picture was some of the reissues/remixes, which were all hideous.

    Vintage is the way to go. Plenty of clothes that need to be reused and worn with plenty of sizes. Just look at landfills or beaches full of unused/worn once clothes. Just don’t buy the hype stuff, and reputable/trustworthy resellers will price good vintage at a fair price. Would love to see the guys talk about the sustainability of sneakers and what the industry should do for the sake of the waste crisis

    I think brandon is right on the money. If a man is responsible for the design of two IPs that generated so much money and maybe even more importantly propelled the brand into popular consciousness on TWO different occasions, then you should never lay that guy off. He deserves a ceremonial title and a paycheck for the rest of his life with a "horizontal transfer" into a different role if you truly would like to get rid of him. However, maybe he really did leave by himself? Or he was offered a ceremonial role and declined for a severance instead? In the end, it's speculation, and I could see a wealthy designer taking his talents to another brand instead of essentially retiring early when given the option.
