The crew (Drew, Eddie, Kari, and H) is back in the house for a deep dive into the heart of sneaker culture. The conversation kicks off with a debate over the re-release of the iconic Undefeated Jordan 4s—is the hype still there now that everyone has a pair? The guys explore the shoe's military MA-1 flight jacket inspiration before taking a trip down memory lane, discussing the potential return of sneaker packs and whether a $600 price tag would fly today.

The episode then sparks a passionate debate ignited by Jeff Staple's viral video on the "Return on Investment" of creativity. The team clashes over whether long-term brand building can survive in a culture demanding immediate hype and sell-outs. This central discussion touches on cultural relevance, scarcity, and the true impact of collaborators like Staple, Sean Wotherspoon, and J-Tips.

Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation covering 90s fashion nostalgia (Starter Jackets and JNCOs), the rise and fall of streetwear brands like Supreme and Ed Hardy, and a final verdict on whether you can really wear basketball shoes with jeans.
