Style and fashion are all an expression. Today we speak with one of my favorite creatives and visionaries in the sneaker community. Mo has been taking the creative space by storm for awhile now, but her latest venture has been the most monumental to date. Our Soles is a platform representing and celebrating masc-presenting women, tomboys and everyone in between! We dive into her journey to this point. From growing her own brand to stepping out and expanding. #PressPlay

Fashion. Style. Streetwear. Brands. Today we live in a world filled with brands, but quality is not the prerequisite. It is a plus. But there are still some who take pride in their work.  We get to speak with the founder and sole designer of one of the highest quality brands out, Warren Cochrane. We speak about the birth of Bloomfield.Works, quality control and how his mastery of graphic design helped to make it one of the hottest brands out. We also touch bases on his creative direction of design across the Complex networks.

Air Max Month 22 was one for the books. This week I navigate a few things that stood out to me for the month of March including the Waverunner being the greatest Yeezy of all time. Yeah lol #PressPlay

Would you believe in what you believe in, if nobody else believed in it? Faith. Faith is one of those forces that a lot of us ignore or take for granted. Today we have a very candid conversation with Matt Tomamichel about faith and perseverance. The owner and founder of Corporate Got Em in Cincinnati and Indy, and co founder of Bigger Than Sneakers, talks us through his origin story and how he overcame. He also details the incredible activation he hosted for the release of the Nike Air Jordan 1 "Rebellionaire" and how it brought Cincy together in a way that had never been seen before. #PressPlay #TFTSolePodcast

It's a choice, enjoy each moment. Not only is that a life mantra of mine now, but it is also the very ethos that Grinmore was founded upon. The still very new and sleek fashion retail boutique serves the Oklahoma City area. Today we get to listen to the origins of the store from the very founders, the black power couple, Fred and Danielle. They take us on a journey about how they got into sneakers and their passion to bring their vision to life. The highs, the lows and the pursuit of achieving goals despite circumstance. #PressPlay #TFTSolePodcast

What a year it has been. In life in general. A lot of RIPs. A lot of growing. And a whole lot of kicks. This year as the world still tried to get back on stable footing we had plenty of releases to rock on foot. Nike, New Balance, Jordan Brand, Adidas, Yeezy, Reebok, Croc, Bape, etc. had something to say from the turn of the calendar up until yesterday's Patent Bred release. There were a plethora of shoes, so many that it was incredibly difficult to keep track of. So many that I totally forgot to mention the Patta Air Max Ones in any of today's episode. Preparation is king folks. Today I cover some of my favorite pick ups from this year. Besides the Patta AM1s. Relax, Happy New Year and #PressPlay  #TFTSolePodcast
