Podcast Description

In this episode, we break down some of the wildest news and hottest drops shaking up the sneaker world right now — from brand-new collabs to corporate drama and lawsuits.

We kick things off with Tom Sachs (49:40), diving into his latest sneaker release and the controversial “Loser” sneaker that has everyone talking. Then at 54:18, we take a close look at the Offspring x Nike SNDR collab, breaking down the design and how it stacks up against other big collaborations.

At 59:02, the spotlight turns to the Jordan 1, where we cover the upcoming releases — including hype pairs like the Union Fragment collab — and discuss whether the Jordan 1 fatigue is real or if these drops are keeping the silhouette alive.

The conversation heats up at 1:21:34 when we get into Travis Scott’s surprising demand for his own building at Nike HQ — what does this mean for his partnership and influence inside the Swoosh?

Then, at 1:28:24, we tackle one of the craziest rumors of the year: is Adidas about to buy Puma? We debate the possibilities, compare it to Adidas’ Reebok acquisition, and ask whether this could reshape the entire sneaker landscape.

At 1:41:35, we explore the new SNKRS Map feature and how it could change the way sneakerheads access exclusive drops. Shortly after, at 1:49:20, we dig into Nike’s legal battle with Don C & RSVP, unpacking the details of the lawsuits and their potential impact on future collaborations.

As always, we step into the Sneaker Court of Public Opinion (1:51:25), where we judge sneaker events and unruly behavior, followed by our Discount Topics (2:00:13) — a rapid-fire session on the week’s smaller but noteworthy sneaker stories. Finally, we wrap things up with the outro (2:03:12).

👟 From Tom Sachs controversies to Travis Scott’s demands, from SNKRS app updates to Adidas vs. Puma drama, this episode is packed with insider takes, debates, and unfiltered sneaker talk.
