Interview with Jacques Slade: NFTs, Sneakers, and What's Happened to Sneaker Culture‪?‬ Sneakers to the Metaverse

    • Entrepreneurship

Ryan Mullins and Jacques Slade wax philosophical about the origins of Jacques' career in music, media and sneakers. 

Ryan poses some questions about the state of the sneaker union: Where are we right now? Why are there so many retros? What's this constant fascination with the past do to us when we're also looking for new sneakers to celebrate? 

Seems like we've reached a plateau in terms of the growth and hype of sneakers, so what's next? Virgil Abloh said recently that streetwear is dead. If so, what resurrects it? What's next in this ever-evolving, innovative sub-culture that's not so sub- anymore? 

We discuss too "the metaverse" "NFTs" gaming, AR, VR, etc. 

It's good fun with a smart dude. Think you'll dig it!
