There has been a growing rise regarding female sneakerheads. However, in that rise, there has been many gripes. mainly surrounding size inclusivity and gate-keeping that have been rightly been called out. However, there is a concern that beyond the size inclusivity convo, the story ends. Hence the question, what's next? But before we even ask that question, the real question is, 

A very honest and tough convo to be had where we can learn and appreciate the female vantage point. The session is to highlight the female sneakerhead and for us males to learn and understand.

- Do you think female sneakerheads have been heard? 

- So what are the real issues with female sneakerheads? (Diversity, male gatekeeping, sexualisation)

- Are men responsible for the lack of progress amongst female sneakerhead and if so how?

Main topics of discussion covered are:

- Size Inclusivity

- Brand Position

- Black Culture and Diversity

- Body Positivity vs Female Sexualisation

FUTURE

- What should be driving the female sneakerhead movement?

- How can women have more of an impact in the sneaker community (beyond size inclusivity)?

HUGE thank you to everyone who joined in on the conversation!

In this episode, @vanwilljamz, @rain_nelson_445 & @blcklistd host "Retros: A collector's dream or a purist's nightmare" with participants from both sides of the Atlantic.

This week's convo centres on retros and Re-releases of (iconic) classics from the past. The convo is inspired by a piece written by Adam Thomas on the very subject, focusing more on the materials/production methods.

- There are two camps. The first being those that were gassed at the return of shoes such as the CLOTS, Bacons and Lemonades. And there are those who have paid mad money for OG pairs only to learn of their releases. Which camp do you sit in. Leave the OGs alone or Re-release them?

- What about when they do a poor job of a retro (AM1 Atmos safari) 

- Manufacturing techniques/materials have improved so surely there's a space for them?

- What length of time should be given to retros? (If any)

- Should retros be like-for-like or with the slight modification to distinguish between the OG and updated model? (Atmos Animal - hairy bush on the toebox)

- What are your thoughts on extending a classic into a pack? Curries, AM90 duck camos, And the Lemonades

- The Jordan Remastered program more money, better quality but it wasn’t better quality

- Jump man v Nike Air - why? What’s the point.

- What are our thoughts on hybrids taking the place of classics (I.e AM90 bacons and AM90 Current Huarache bacons)?
