We're back on our ones this week, as we run the show without a guest for the first time in forever. That doesn't stop us from having a ton of laughs as we cover the cheating accusations against Nike, Jordan Brand releasing a bunch more Jordan 1's, and we continue to get spooky during our NSR segment. We close the episode discussing money, and wonder wether sneakers has become a rich person's game. We're startled by the current asking prices for some of our personal pairs - which brings us to the question - how much would someone have to offer you to buy your entire collection and have you walk away from the game forever?

This week we sound off on a Travis Scott fan who penned a letter to Nike and Travis because he couldn't get some Cactus Jack Jordans, we talk about Skethers clapping back at Nike, and continue Spook-tober with some spooky stories in the NSR segment. Our guest, JR, former store manager of 306 Yonge and massive Michael Jordan fan, gives us an inside look at the inner workings of Canada's Jumpman flagship. He recounts some of the craziest stories from his time at the shop, lets us know how he ended up there, and gives us the scoop on how they really choose raffle winners.

This week we talk about two Chinese sneaker brands that are cutting ties with the NBA after a "controversial" tweet was sent out by the General Manager of the Houston Rockets, new virtual reality tech that will help you fake flex on all your friends, and a major footwear brand dropping a pair of shoes through a resale platform. Then, because its spooky season, some of the boys share some ghost stories from their past. Finally, our guest, Sneaker Life Husband, aka AAron, aka the A-A-Ron, has been listening to the show since Episode 1, so we pit him against the team to see who knows the most about True to Size.

Another week, another episode, more legal drama within the sneaker community; as the Swoosh sues Sketchers over their new, very Air Maxish, designs. LDoggy also puts on his I.T. hat and tries to explain New Balance's newest attempt at protecting their products from being counterfeited, and we also hear about some XXX-rated news from Down Under. This week we were paid a visit by Meredydd and Laize, better known as Hardie Girl and Laizey Bones, so we played our first ever dual round of 21 Guestions. We then learn how the duo was able to unintentionally grow a wildly successful Instagram account, how they feel females are perceived in the sneaker world, and what they'd like to see from brands going forward.

This week on True to Size we were bombarded with EEE messages, spoke about New Balance's newest tech, and essentially crowned ourselves the champions of an upcoming sneaker showcase. We were also lucky enough to be joined by returning guest and friend of the show, Jon Ratner, who shared an in-depth look at some very thought provoking articles he published in relation to the sneaker community. First, we discussed the inconsistency and unreliability within sneaker media, and how "rumours" are being reported as facts. Then Jon told us what brought him to sell his all-time grail, and the team decides if we could ever do the same.

On this week's episode we answer our first ever non-sneaker related Fire Round question (probably?), and it reveals the team's true colours when it comes to music choices. We cover another wide variety of choices under This Week in Kicks, and have a couple of updates about some of the biggest new headlines from previous episodes. Our main discussion surrounds the platform that kickstarted the Canada Got Sole movement, Instagram. We reminisce about the days when Twitter was the social media platform, talk about a time when hashtags actually meant something, and recall some of our Instagram blunders. Has Instagram moulded the sneaker game into a monster? Let's talk about it.

It was a short turn around between episodes this week, but we saw no shortage of content with a couple very compelling topics to mull over. The return of Sneakerheading For Dummies dug deep into how to communicate when buying/selling sneakers, and we also get the breakdown on Jumpman's newest addition to their signature line. Our main discussion surrounds the frequency with which sneakers are beginning to appear in the mainstream media; is it good for the culture, or is it a recipe for disaster?

We’re back from vacation and we got off the rails pretty quickly with some questionable choices for TWIK picks, and crawled deeper into a hole with a little too much chatting about Fusion Jordans. Thanks to a tight-eared listener, we also had an eye-opening realization that Philly sounds a whole lot like Danny Green. This masterpiece of an episode was rounded out with a recap of our family vacation, Philly’s recap of a great event featuring Nicky Diamonds and Nazim Kadri, and finally a discussion of wether or not we’ll get back into the sneaker expo displaying game.

In our last episode before the team's group vacation, we made sure to go out with a bang. We received a very thought provoking Fire Round question that gives you a lot of perspective on the sneaker world's current hype culture. We were joined by friend of the show, Jazz Alba, creator of the infamous Simpsons-themed Toronto Raptors illustrations that we all saw during the NBA post-season. He gives us some insight on where he draws (pun = intended) his inspiration from, how he's so quick with his posts, and what he's got coming down the pipeline.

It was a busy week for sneaker news, but it was an even bigger week for pickups (just for Alvin though). A sneaker-buying platform that Canadians have been dying for has finally made its way up north, a local boutique causes quite a stir with their choice of release policies, and we read the greatest EEE submission of all time. Our guest recently moved houses, so this week we get to the nitty gritty of being a sneakerhead and having to move your entire collection.
