As the sneaker year ends, not only do we debate whether 2025 is a great sneaker year, but Nike announces the new SNKRS Code program.

Social Media Toxicity

Expounding on his initial episode about the Urban Necessities story, Matt goes into the human elements behind the aftermath.

Who Are Sneakers Really For?

The demographics of the sneaker world are dynamic. Many times when people hear about a "sneakerhead" they envision a certain look or behavior. The truth is that sneakers and the culture that surrounds them may not be for everyone.

Matt thinks about his possible missteps as it relates to who he sees as "the culture" and gets introspective with you. --- Subscribe to Matt Frates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattfratescreates Like what you hear?
