True to Size

For the first time in show history, we don't have a main discussion topic this week. However, that didn't stop us from teeing up our usual segments, along with a double dosage of Sole Poll, and of course we had to talk about our Toronto Raptors. We finished off the episode with a little more information to our next Shu-Haul event on July 27th!

This week we were joined by very good friends of the show, Kalby and Chris. It seems like there's always a Raptor game on while we're recording, but we couldn't cut this episode short because we were super excited to talk to our out-of-town friends about what it's like being a sneakerhead outside of the Canadian-mecca of sneakers - Toronto. But before that, we covered a pair of great Fire Round questions, a very full week of E.E.E submissions, and we introduced a brand new segment to the show!

Welcome to Episode 61, or as we have renamed it, “Episode 1 A.K” (After Kawhi). The Klaw hit the biggest shot in Raptor’s history, and you know we covered everything surrounding the aftermath - including the effect it had on his signature sneaker’s value and worth. After we were finished being giddy about ‘the shot’,  this week’s “short episode” turned into a full-fledged discussion on hype and how it has changed, what drives it, and how it’s effected the game as a whole. We also come up with some new terminology for how hype can mold and evolve over the years, called “The Broken Telephone of Hype”.Follow us at:@CanadaGotSole@MisterQMart@Jo_Doooney@LDoggyStyles

Well we uploaded the right audio file this week, so we're already off to a better start than Episode 59. True to Size Tuesday fell on the same night as a Toronto Raptor game again, so we got slightly carried away with some hoop talk, but after that we got back in our groove and had a lot of fun running through our usual segments. Alvin tested the rest of the crew on their knowledge of the "Bred" Jordan 4's, and the boys did not disappoint. Our main topic this week touched upon the concept of sneakers that are 'inspired' or take notes from other sneakers. Is it played out? Unoriginal? Or do we kinda mess with it?

Alvin takes the reins this week and hosts a very guestalicious episode of True to Size. We are joined by very good friends of the show, Phil and Bryan, as we run through their Solographies and get an insight into their side-hustles. We recently attended a Sole Exchange Canada sneaker expo, which got us thinking about how far we've come in the world of sneaker expos. We share our thoughts on the concept of a shoe expo and discuss where we think they're headed.

This week's episode was recorded whilst simultaneously watching Leafs/Bruins Game 7, and Raptors/Magic Game 5 - so excuse any random cheering or sighs of grief. We received a ton of feedback about episode 57 ft. OD Toronto, so we made sure to address what we could during EEE. We also had the pleasure of attending an event coordinated by our kick-flipping friend, Netmagnetism, so we were sure recap all the details during Previously in Kicks. Finally, we dive deep into a discussion about quality on sneakers - wether or not it really matters, if we think people care, and what we look for when buying our own pairs.

“Coming soon" has finally arrived, and Toronto’s newest and wildest consignment experience is here. On this week’s episode we fly through our weekly segments and get into a lengthly discussion with the creative minds behind the ODTO project. We learn how the idea came to be, what steps were taken to ensure this crazy shop came to life, and what went in to creating Toronto’s most elite sneaker destination. The OD crew covers everything you’ll need to know about their grand opening festivities, and give us an idea of what we can expect from the shop down the road. As they are rooted deeply in the industry, we also get their insight on reselling, Toronto’s sneaker culture, and how they’ve seen each of the two evolve over the years.

This week we cover a plethora of rumours that are currently swirling around the sneaker world. We also cover not one, but two Sole Polls, run through a very busy week in Previously in Kicks, and get hit with a bunch of messages in Errors, Edits, and E-Messages. Our main discussion this week covers our feelings about consignment and resell shops. Our opinions have certainly evolved over the course of the year, and we've got lots to say on the subject!

True to Size episode 55 now holds the record for longest Fire Round question to date, with a discussion that easily could have been made a main topic. After we tackle the Fire Round, TWIK offers up a couple of new clippings from the sneaker world’s legal sphere. This week we are also joined by none other than Dooney Junior himself, who sits in on the episode and gives us a few perspectives from a 10 year old sneakerhead’s mind. Finally, the return of Sneakerheading For Dummies helps us introduce our main topic of the week; grails. What is a grail, why is it a grail, and when does it become a grail?

On this week’s episode the team is celebrating our favourite sneaker holiday, Air Max Day. We are joined by our resident Air Max aficionado, Adam, AKA @SneakerCloset, as we discuss our thoughts on this year’s Air Max Day releases, announcements, and festivities. We kept the party rolling with an Air Max themed quiz that caused a few heads to be scratched and many bewildered looks to be shared. Make sure you keep track of your answers and let us know how you faired against the CGS Squad!
