Molly is the founder of All My Friends Are Hoopers, a basketball apparel brand that has quickly become a favorite inside WNBA locker rooms. What started as a simple design for her office turned into a fast-growing brand rooted in hoop culture and community.

In Season 3 Episode 2 of the Tunnel Fits Podcast, Molly joins us to talk about turning a love for basketball into a brand worn by some of the best players in the world.

Before launching her first products, Molly sampled over 30 different shirts to find the perfect quality. That commitment paid off when WNBA players began wearing All My Friends Are Hoopers, validating the vision she had written in her notebook long before the brand ever existed.

We talk about the process of building a sports apparel brand, the importance of authenticity in basketball culture, and why community is the foundation of everything she’s building.

If you're interested in basketball fashion, WNBA culture, sports entrepreneurship, or hoop community, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss

• How All My Friends Are Hoopers started
• Why quality mattered before launching the brand
• The moment WNBA players began wearing the pieces
• Building a community through basketball culture
• Advice for anyone starting a sports or apparel brand

Tunnel Fits Podcast explores the intersection of women’s basketball, sneakers, and fashion through conversations with the people shaping the culture.

What does it really mean to be tied to the culture?

In this episode of Tunnel Fits Podcast, we sit down with Heather Saldivar, founder of W Ties, and Jasmine Maietta, founder/CEO of Round21, to talk women’s sports fashion, community-driven brands, and how style becomes identity.

Heather shares how a single upcycled tie turned into a movement embraced across women’s basketball, while Jasmine breaks down how Round21 blends sport, art, and culture into wearable storytelling. Together, they unpack what it takes to build authentic brands in women’s sports without losing cultural integrity.

We get into:

How W Ties and Round21 came together for a collaboration rooted in purpose

Why accessories and apparel carry meaning beyond the fit

Building community-first brands in women’s sports

Fashion as storytelling, identity, and resistance

Staying authentic while scaling in a hype-driven industry

This conversation is for anyone passionate about WNBA culture, women-led brands, streetwear, sneakers, and sports fashion — and for creatives looking to build something that actually lasts.

If you care about sport, style, and culture colliding, this one’s for you.

What happens when you realize there’s no merchandise for women at the biggest events in sports? You build the brand yourself. In this episode, we sit down with Ande and Shay, the founders of Lift & Legacy, to hear the story of how a passion for hats and representation turned into a mission-driven brand.

Their journey began at an All-Star Weekend event where they spotted a massive gap: while sneaker culture was thriving, there was zero headwear designed specifically for women. With no formal business background but a lot of determination, they spent a year perfecting the fit and quality of their products to ensure they weren't just "slapping a logo" on a hat, but telling a story.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• The All-Star Epiphany: Realizing the lack of women’s merchandise at major sporting events.
• The Manufacturing Hurdle: Why it took nearly a year to find the right partners who understood their vision for quality and fit.
• The Sue Bird Connection: The "insane" moment they sent their tribute hats to Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe for their statue reveal.
• Legacy vs. Trend: Why every piece they create is a symbol of empowerment and an honor to the athletes who paved the way.
