On this episode I’m talking with Dan Sandison. Dan’s a big footy fan who has worked in and around the sport for the last couple of decades. His work has often intersected with the clothing industry and his latest role is with eco-friendly football boot brand Sokito. I’ve only met Dan once before but have always admired his writing, content and outlook on footy and fashion. I’m buzzing to have him as a guest on My Own Garms today.We get into everything from Scouse futurism and McManaman’s cosmic swagger, to Klopp’s Wade Smith glow-up, flannels fit fails, and what it means to actually build the product you used to write about. Dan talks about growing up in a town split between Liverpool and Manchester, his time at Mundial and Hypebeast, and how Sokito is creating boots made of corn, sugarcane and bamboo — worn by Premier League players who actually co-own the brand.🧵 Topics covered:– Liverpool’s fashion legacy & long hair politics– Working at Hypebeast & launching Mundial– Klopp’s evolution from Germanic blazers to Scouse icon– What it’s like to make your own football boots– Flannels fits, tunnel walks & the pressure of drip– Top 3 football boots of all time🛍️ Check out Sokito boots:https://sokito.com🧥 Support the pod on Patreon:https://patreon.com/myowngarms📸 Follow Tom on Instagram:https://instagram.com/grifter_te🧢 Big thanks to Trailberg for sponsoring this series.
