Took us a while, but we're back for our first ep of 2026.

What do you do when six months in and you don't seem to be making any progress? Albert laments a jean relationship that might be fizzling out. David explores a shoe brand named after a cannibalistic brain disease. Reed empties his closet.

We run down all the squishy suspects in this episode entirely devoted to footwear:

• Hey Dude
• Crocs
• Hoka
• Norda
• And David's Crown Collab

Happy election day! We have a somewhat broken episode for you to mirror our somewhat broken system of government. Much love from Reed, Albert, and David as you get out to do your civic duty!

The boys return and David has two medium spicy footwear takes, Albert has a new thermal out, and Reed has a new love of denim trousers.

And David's Heddels Dyneema shoe to come!

We consider the possibility of selling out for that sweet evangelical cash. David complains about the deteriorating quality of Under Armour.

The biggest menswear flex is apparently being romantically linked with Zoe Kravitz, and Harry Styles is doing it ahead of his new album release. Also, David reveals his plans for air conditioner arbitrage.

The whole crew is back to discuss the hairstyles of Maine, J.Crew's creepy use of AI in their latest campaign, the retail experience of Ssense's flagship store, and the return of Best Made Co.

Reedless today, Albert and David explore the death of certain trends in the Trump 2 era in the end of the de minimis tariff and discuss the new pejorative archetype the "performative man".

A check in on our triumvirate Tilden fading status. How to buy old suits online. How did Vans stray so far from the light?
