Jaylen Brown''s Problem Solved, Nike Fired Him, Is NIGO Too Late For Sneakers?, Sneakers Of The Week

[@Cartmenez77]

Waiting at marshalls for that 741s

[@mantrellgoodrum219]

Air Force 3 & Air Force STS are certified classics! I’ve been waiting for them; just not in candy crush color ways… These deserve a more sophisticated color palette and materials package.

[@HardPassShow]

We can all agree with that for sure.

[@Icecoldhoneybadger]

Adidas should bring back the D Rose 2s 🔥

[@Kjbeenya]

I love that they are doing an Air Force 3. Hopefully, this is a return to a time when more obscure models got some run.

[@Jeffreynelius]

I’ve been wanting them to retro the AF3 for a while now so this is pretty cool for me personally. But I get it’s an obscure model. I think that might have a lot to do with NIGO wanting to work on it. I’m a big supporter of him as well but I actually don’t like this collab. I’m hoping it means a few OG colors are coming sometime after. I’ve got baby pics of me wearing this shoe. I know I’m in the minority but you can’t say NOBODY is checking for this shoe, Jacques. I’m sure an AF1 will come. Maybe an AF2 as well, like a countdown. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Make more Kobe Protros...whoever is in charge!! #MambaForever

Re drop this week

[@HardPassShow]

It feels like we're getting there at least with the more generic colorways like the Team Bank, but don't count on the hyped colorways to ever be easily available.

[@chanyoung3725]

Interesting take on the AF3. It actually should be proof to Nike that a lot of their consumers are the problematic ones.

[@freshtodeath88]

That Kai situation is good ad because Nike is still mentioned when discussing the topic

[@MrMeMyselfandI]

Gonna need that KAI 1 vs KAI 1 speed comparison

[@jvlicious]

Craving the Nigo x Nike sweats jackets and yes those AF 3 are 🔥🔥🔥 So Jacques goes on a trip then Nike changes CEO... Coinkydinks? I think NOT 😅

[@tonysparks9453]

Kai Cenat is corny, Nike needs to stop signing these little influencer dudes who scream at the camera all day.

[@thesharinganknight]

Corny but with bread🤷🏾‍♂️

11:40 The random day in October is the anniversary of the NBA banning the Jordan 1s.

[@ATCM914]

Agreed. Jaylen did what KAI should've done. But hey, to each's own.

[@MrMeMyselfandI]

Make *BETTER* Kobe Protros

[@MrBaskins2010]

Kai is a modern minstrel show, the dot swoosh NFT crypto adjacent is wack. Nike just needs to step up quality. I don’t care if the boxes are smaller or recycled cardboard (I’m fine with both) but I’m not paying $180+ MSRP anymore. Even the LD-1000s are overpriced for being a low tech shoe that weighs less than a feather

[@Bv365]

those are not going to work. JB sneaks I'm speaking on. Jaylen probably won't make to All-star weekend in those sneakers. The look like work sneakers. The Air Force 3? Are incendiary the color pallets are going to be iconic. I feel we finally have a replacement for the AF1.

[@HardPassShow]

That's why putting that $50 million figure out there is so interesting. If 741 works, Jaylen looks like a genius. If it doesn't, everyone is going to point to that number.

PEWMA

[@justaction]

Top 10 player🤔

[@joegross4366]

If these cats really want to change the game, they need to band together and start from the ground up. Imagine if Jaylen and Kyrie decided, when they first had conflicts with the Swoosh, to get together on a new brand that was purely about performance. Who knows, perhaps they could’ve recruited Vanessa to the project, rather than signing that new deal letting Nike continue to profit off Kobe’s name. That team could’ve brought in top designers and engineers, excited to do something new with a potential major impact.

[@HardPassShow]

Recruiting Vanessa probably isn't feasible, but a Kyrie/Jaylen partnership could have been very interesting for sure.

[@frenznfamily6423]

I could listen to your take on any content. You hooked your audience with shoes but the cultures moment is passing. Grow with your audience and introduce new topics. I think we like you more than shoes. I’d love to hear you mix in topics with real substance or general popular news. Shoe game is stale af.

[@HardPassShow]

Sneakers will always be a part of the show's DNA, but we also cover the NBA, golf, F1, wrestling, and the occasional pop culture check-in. Check out the archive and you'll find our takes there.
