Fantastic show! You guys have been doing great things over there for years. I have to ask you 2 questions. 1) how can the off white x LV x AF1's be sneaker of the year,when there basically F&F? 2) how come no ones even bringing up the Zion Williams x Jordan 1 Voodoo for sneaker of the year? It may not be the #1, but it should at least be in the conversation 🤷🏽‍♂️
