While the Jordan 1 may be seen as "the shoe that started it all", it owes it all to the Air Force 1. The Air Force 1 is one of Nike's most sold shoes over the last forty years; the work horse of the Nike line. The history of its debut and ascension are marked with mystery and a dash of discomfort. Either way, it's a staple for any sneaker lover.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid is quite possibly the most hated on shoe in all of sneaker culture. Debuting in 2001, and being mass produced over the last few years, it lacks both nostalgia and hype. Is this really a fair assessment? Matty Ice attempts to break it down.

Sneakers and hype have a complicated relationship, but what is hype, really? Over the last five years, hype has contributed to the meteoric ascention of sneaker prices and demand, but has hype permeated into the culture more than just a Travis Scott release?

Exclusivity defines sneakers today, but are sneakers ever truly exclusive? With the inspiration of Union's "Passport Pack" of Dunk Lows being a time before resale, when region specific shoes made it impossible to get something, it got Matty Ice thinking about the truly exclusive shoes.

The term "sneaker culture" used to mean something; a descriptor of what made the sneaker community so tight knit. Nowadays it feels like the culture has changed. With so many choices, niche markets like NFTs, and collecting for the sake of likes on social media, Matt wonders if the world of sneakers has lost its way? Sneaker love is about the shoes and how they make you feel. Does that matter to the masses anymore?

Recording on MLK Day (despite getting the date wrong), Sneaker Love returns to ask the question of "Do you expect morality from your favorite brands?". As Nike fires its unvaccinated employees, costing people jobs, do you care as long as the shoes get to your doorstep? The Air Force 1 is getting some retro love in the form of old colorways being re-released. Matt also takes listener questions for the first time.

At the core of sneaker culture there is a healthy respect for the past. When it comes to Air Jordans, the brand is always willing to bring back an old classic in the form of a retro. Despite seeing it with many shoes, we never see retros of SB Dunks; why is that? With so many we sneaker lovers would to see back, why does Nike SB keep them locked in the vault?
