  • Are Sneakerheads Being Priced Out Of Air Jordan Retros?

    Are Sneakerheads Being Priced Out Of Air Jordan Retros?
    Jul 29 2024

    In this episode, Nick and Robbie discuss the exorbitant prices of Nike's recent releases, particularly the $250 retail price for the "Bred" Air Jordan 1s. They question who the target audience is for these high-priced sneakers and suggest that Nike should focus on creating high-quality, innovative shoes rather than relying on nostalgia. They also criticize the design of the Jordan 39 and propose that Jordan Brand should elevate one of their signature athletes, such as Luka Doncic, Jason Tatum, or Zion Williamson, to be the flagship athlete for the brand.

  • Why Do Big Corporations Keep Suing Creators?

    Why Do Big Corporations Keep Suing Creators?
    Jul 24 2024

    After months and months of working on it, the time has finally come to introduce you to our new show, Cars and Kicks.

    In this episode, Nick Engvall, Jacques Slade, and Erik Valdez, discuss the crazy news that Nike is suing The Shoe Surgeon, someone they've partnered with for years to celebrate their most monumental moments. Corporations selling creators isn't limited to sneakers, so we also get into lawsuits between Ferrari, Justin Beiber, Deadmouse, and Porsche versus Singer, among other things.

Realest Depiction of being a Sneaker Head

As you may already know, the victories in modern day sneaker collecting are few and far in between. In that downtime, spend it commiserating with these guys as they navigate the tricky path of loving something that doesn't always love them back. The guys bring well-established, nuance takes on a variety of topics, but always bring it back to their first-ish loves of sneakers.

Like having a beer with your friends

I'm using my wife's account to write this review. Love the Pod, always listen to it on the different platforms. It's like having a beer with your friends and talking sneakers.

Hands down, one of the best sneakers podcasts out there. If you're new or old to sneakers, it doesn't matter, these guys give you the most honest opinion and even recommendations on copping or passing. They even have a discord community to help one another, you really need to get on that one too.

Let this be a reminder that I've given 5 plus 5 star reviews on iTunes. But for some reason you haven't gotten them. Even left some message in the 800 number 😂 I got boundaries issues

Still got some of those M&M's fam?

Greatest podcast of all time!

If you are a fan of burritos, secret pizza places, M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Hot Tamales, the San Antonio Spurs (Mike I'm looking at you), size 8 fitted hats, the Golden Girls, Peloton, the MCU, and Robbie occasionally taking his shirt off on camera, then this is the podcast for you! Oh and sometimes they talk about sneakers. Thank you Nick, Mike , Robbie, and Rohit for over 200 episodes of pure bliss! Shoutout to the discord fam!

Sincerely the people's champ
