Welcome back to the podcast!!
This week we have special host Cam (luv_4_kicks) who joins us this week to host the podcast as well as talk about his journey so far. We talk about the comfortability of the Jordan 4 SB and the Jordan 4 Black Cement and how they compare. We then talk about the misconception of why sneakers sell out and why they might not sell out.
We then go into the quick strikes where we look at the Balenciaga Pantashoe and how practical the sneaker/motorcycle fit is for normal use.
We then look at Omi in a Hellcat as he has now got to pay back Nike for Trademark infringement charges. We also look at how this may effect other independent artists and sneaker designers like Kool Kiy, R.E.T.R.O. Clothing as well as BAPE.
We then discuss everything Nike from the layoffs, the downturn, AI design usage, the Nike Cult Classic Program and finally the Nike Air Max Creative director leaving after 14 years of service.
Our Main subject this week is the situation with PandaBuy and fake sneakers as well as the trouble looming for sneaker resell shop fronts.
We then move into Sneaker Court of Public Opinion before we close out the show.

Common man. We pay lots of taxes around Europe and in return we get good roads, health care, a safety net when you loose your job etc. Just like you I had early access on those 4s and didn't want it. Those 180s are these months gem's. FYI: Q. Your sound is a little off

[@808KicksATL]

I feel you on the taxes. I got the sound thing fixed. The 180's are 🔥🔥🔥

[@MarcelL-DM]

And with the big 180 'bubble' . I love my classic Adidas, but I also love when Nike does a classic right. Back in the day I had to choose between the black Air Force 180 and the Airmax 180 and chose the Air Force's without regret. Now I can finally get them. If the Force's and the Adidas ZX710 and Forest Hills and it's a legendary first half of 2024

@MarcelL-DM Hopefully we can all get what we want!👟🐕
