Podcast Description

Welcome back to the podcast.

Episode Description:
This week’s episode is stacked with big names, bold collabs, and some surprising sneaker headlines that push the culture in unexpected directions.

We open things up (00:00) with the Intro, before diving into Drake vs Amazon at 53:29, where we unpack the wild story of Drake selling sneakers on eBay and what it says about resale, distribution, and hype culture. At 1:00:46, the spotlight shifts to the unveiling of the new Melissa Diesel sneaker, a high-fashion meets streetwear moment that could shake up the scene.

At 1:08:28, we check in on Reebok, with more projects in the pipeline that hint at a strong push to reestablish its place in today’s sneaker game. Then, at 1:21:53, the world of wrestling collides with sneakers as we talk about Roman Reigns getting his own signature sneaker—a crossover we didn’t see coming but one that could open doors for athletes outside the traditional basketball/football lane.

The energy keeps rolling at 1:27:27, where we cover Adidas and Bad Bunny’s brand-new silhouette, a bold move for both the brand and the artist as they look to carve out space beyond simple colorways. By 1:47:08, the focus turns to the Awake x Jordan 5, where excitement about the collab meets frustration over limitations and release strategies.

At 2:02:25, we enter the Court of Public Opinion, putting some of the week’s hottest sneaker controversies on trial, followed by Discount Topics at 2:09:30, where we rapid-fire through smaller but equally interesting sneaker headlines. Finally, we wrap everything up with the Outro at 2:18:26.

From Drake’s unexpected eBay play, to Roman Reigns’ surprise sneaker lane, to the ongoing conversation about collab culture and accessibility, this episode digs deep into the stories shaping sneakers right now. If you love hype, history, and heated debates, this is one you won’t want to miss.
