The Cars and Kicks Podcast is hosted by:
Jacques Slade is a multifaceted creator that explores the world of footwear and sports through the lens of culture. Through sneakers and golf, Jacques has cultivated an industry leading voice in the industry that can be seen online and on television. Or he is just an idiot. The jury is still out on that.

You might have seen him on shows like General Hospital, Graceland, or Superman & Lois. He’s driven in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, the Baja 1000, and the number of cars he’s owned would rival the how collections of many sneakerheads.
Nick Engvall is a consultant and creator who helps brands make more authentic connections with their customers. His obsession with cars and sneakers both toe the line of unhealthiness that is best described as, overly passionate. If he’s not recording podcasts, he’s probably at the burrito shop or chasing down ocean sunsets.

They start by talking about their recent sneaker pickups and then dive into a list of video game-themed sneakers from Sneaker Freaker.

In this episode, Nick and Robbie discuss the exorbitant prices of Nike's recent releases, particularly the $250 retail price for the "Bred" Air Jordan 1s. They question who the target audience is for these high-priced sneakers and suggest that Nike should focus on creating high-quality, innovative shoes rather than relying on nostalgia. They also criticize the design of the Jordan 39 and propose that Jordan Brand should elevate one of their signature athletes, such as Luka Doncic, Jason Tatum, or Zion Williamson, to be the flagship athlete for the brand.
