Love the show. I travel internationally for work. Since I’ve been watching/listening to the show I started observing what shoes people are wearing. From my tiny perspective, “sneaker heads” myopically focus on Nike. In the real world, as large as their market share is, people are wearing any number of brands. It would be interesting to see the show focus on more brands (shout out Welty).
@DaleRogers77 ай бұрын
I love this show. I’m always happy on the weeks that you guys are there. I have been thinking about what Matt said about wearing comfortable shoes as you get old. I am 67 years old and for a lot of years didn’t really like to wear air Jordans because I thought they were uncomfortable. I don’t know if Jordans have changed, but these days in my very old age Jordans are the most comfortable shoes and running shoes without much support and feel kind of floppy are not as comfortable for me these days. But when I was in my 40s and 50s. I did not think this way at any rate, keep up the good work. You guys sure do a wonderful job that is interesting every time you’re on. Joel LaPuma is an amazing host.

Good to hear so much Air Max talk for once 😌. Surprised Welty was cooking so much. Unpopular opinion, but I'd say the forgotten middle child in the Air Max Light is arguably better than the AM1 AND maybe even AM90's because it's such a clean evolution between the two. AM90, in the UnRecrafted shape, reigns supreme though.

The Dunk extra layer around the bottom laces thing was a modification done for skateboarding, to give the skater the option to lace underneath the flap and prevent the laces from breaking under ollie's and flip tricks. It depends on which model SBs have it. Same goes for the turn-and-stitch toebox stitching, which is also for skate durability. All the pro and premium SBs have the flap. You can visually tell if its the old-style SB or the new style SB by looking at the sole of the shoe and seeing if there is a piece of exposed foam in the center. If it's there, it will also have the other durability modifications. For some very limited models, they go back to the OG style without it (ie Futura, orange lobsters, HUFs, etc).

I've been watching/listening to the show for a couple years now and there's a lot of assumed knowledge that is mentioned (especially by Brendan Dunne) which isn't an attack on anyone, its just, I really enjoy when any of the three of you takes the time to explain the design language, the history or the story of a shoe like Welty did with the Air Max 95. I get that the nuanced difference of the SB that Dunne was sharing isn't the most exciting content but I hope that he isn't discouraged from getting into stuff like that because I'm here for it, even if it is boring, you gotta get through the boring sometimes to learn and fully appreciate the cool.

I love the 1's and 90's, but, for me: The 1991 "BW Classics" are the definitive Air Max. By far, the best looking and had some of the coolest colour schemes. More recently, I really like the Air Max SC's and Air Max Command. Unpopular opinion: I've always thought the 95's were hideous. Maybe it's just because I prefer simpler designs, like the ones I mentioned before. But, yeah: The "BW Classics" are definitely my favourite Air Max of all time. Maybe even my top shoe of all time. Definitely Top 3. Would love to see you guys do a similar video about Reebok Pump and/or Adidas Torsion.

Another great one. In terms of tier lists, I think only Jordan/Nike, Adidas, and New Balance have enough heritage and quality models to deserve a tier list. After that I think a fun twist on this theme that allows a lot of debate and cultural reference points is doing a full March Madness style bracket and debate all time collabs or colorways/models inclusive of all brands to determine the best ones overall. Could do a OG colorway and collab version of the bracket too.

There are 2 different versions of an SB Dunk that are almost completely different. The "OG" Shape that was used from inception to around 2012 for the 10th anniversary if Nike SB. They updated the tech in the entire SB Dunk model starting with I BELIEVE the Red Cement Supreme SB Dunk. They added the memory foam heel pods in sock liner, the flap you guys talked about on bottom 2 eyelets to protect against skate wear, added a Phylon cushion to the midsole and updated the outsole for better traction. BUT collaborators can still choose to do the "OG shape" to this day. Futura did, Concepts Lobsters all did, Supreme still does, etc.
