Russ Bengtson

Russ Bengtson @russbengtson has a long resume in sneaker journalism and collecting, and he still remembers visiting Supreme five times in one week back in 2002 until he got a pair of Nike SB Dunk Low Black Cements. He’s still got the box and receipt, but doesn’t want to talk about what they’re worth. On the latest episode of SneakerDads, Russ shares stories about the boxes of samples sent from Nike, discusses why you don’t need to own every sneaker that releases, talks about his book: A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers, and much more.
