    I usually listen to the podcast in the car, and sometimes my 6-year-old would be in the car while I play it, but I never knew she was listening. Today I played this episode on TV, and she came and went “Is this the complex sneaker podcast?” I went “yeah” and then she went “Which one is Welty?” 😂 Welty you just got a 6 year old fan!

    • @jonathanlu813
      @jonathanlu813 Рік тому +4

      Okay now she’s doing complex sneakers podcast trivia to me:
      “Who’s the one on the left?”
      “Who’s the one went to Miami for the exhibition?”
      “Who’s the one always says you’re listening you’re watching the complex sneakers podcast?”
      🤦‍♂️

    JLP: (skeptically) “Are they…?”
    Welty and Brendan proceed to pile on just how rare they are. Lol - love these exchanges. Reminds me of moments between me and my friends, and is a perfect example of why this pod is so good. ❤

    I think the SOTY should be the CNCPTS x Air Max 1 "Heavy" It was back in March and by now we've all forgotten the massive play that shoe got. The design is amazing. The quality is amazing. The release reached the PEOPLE. It was one of the best community moments in sneakers this year. It's not even my favorite. I dont even have them. I just feel based on observation of impact, that one did its thing and checks all the boxes.

    I dont think the SOTY can be something SO limited. I haven't seen a single non-celeb wearing OW x LV - AF1. The shoe is great. Virgil is great, but I think this is forced to honor Virgil. The shoe is not SOTY. It came and went and nobody is talking about it anymore.

    Great show! I agree with Matt on the Stray Rats. That color way and model of NB isn't top tier. When we are talking about sneakers of the year; colorway, history(certain shoes), popularity, and sales should be the criteria. Most people will leave the stray rats on shelves, just not a easy or likeable shoe.

    New Balance has grown on me. I have 2 pairs but I think it’s crazy that folks pretend all they don’t look the same. NB has like 4 silhouettes folks into sneakers are buying but it’s technically 70 because if all the little 👌🏾 tweaks
