    Send a text Stop paying $3,000 for designer pants. In episode 40, we’re exposing the luxury fashion "scams," hunting for 75% off steals, and debating if ASAP Rocky can actually design a shoe. Hugh and the crew dive deep into the current state of the market, from the "unheard of" brands taking over to the massive Saks Off Fifth extension sale. We discuss the ethics of "broke" fashion influencers wearing Balenciaga while living in laundry baskets and why the "Blog Era" nostalgia is driving sneaker prices into the thousands. The squad also breaks down the recent Union Frag and Royal drops, the "mental gymnastics" of buying fakes on StockX, and why certain Air Max 1s—like the legendary Patta Cherrywoods—would actually "sit" if they retroed today. Stick around for some legendary music industry stories involving ASAP Ferg, Big Body Bes, and the chaos of a Muslim-Hip-Hop wedding.

    Addressing Reddit Haters, Going Broke Trying To Get The Perfect Fit & Super Bowl Reactions

    Send a text Is Drake really wearing fake Jordans, and why is every "influencer" suddenly going broke for Balenciaga? We’re diving deep into the Super Bowl halftime spectacle, Bad Bunny’s signature kicks, and the toxic state of Reddit sneaker communities. In this episode of the 12oot Podcast, the crew breaks down the intersection of high fashion, hip-hop culture, and the current state of the sneaker resale market. We analyze the viral story of an influencer losing it all to keep up with designer trends and debate whether "gatekeeping" is actually necessary to save the culture. From the performance of Sam Darnold to the "Easter eggs" hidden in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, no topic is off-limits. We also address the relentless "old head" comments from our Reddit community and discuss the fine line between personal style and being a slave to the algorithm. Whether you're here for the sneaker reviews, the political tangents, or the "Gizzi" talk, we're keeping it raw, unfiltered, and 100% authentic.

    Send us a text Is the sneaker market finally recovering, or are we just addicted to the hype? From selling Undefeated 4s live on air to the "Cold to Touch" authentication drama, we’re breaking down the industry's biggest fails and wins. In this episode of the Twelve Hub Weekly Podcast, we dive deep into the current state of sneaker culture, resale markets, and the controversial marketing behind Nike’s latest releases. We discuss the recent Undefeated shock drop and the reality of razor-thin profit margins on StockX. The conversation shifts to the viral "sneaker authenticator girl" and why the "cold to touch" method is being roasted across Reddit. We also tackle the heavy-hitting topics of Black History Month sneakers, specifically the polarizing Martin Luther King Jr. inspired LeBrons, and why storytelling in footwear often misses the mark. Between debating if Kendrick Lamar is an industry plant and predicting the next big SB Dunk box color, we provide a raw, unfiltered look at the intersection of streetwear, politics, and pop culture.

We sat down with the founders of Vault to see how they’re automating the hustle for collectors and power sellers alike. In this episode, Hugh and Drew deep dive into the future of sneaker culture and technology with Sage and Jon, the minds behind Vault. As the resale market shifts from the "gold rush" era to a more calculated, data-driven industry, Vault aims to be the central hub for every seller. We discuss the "double sale" problem, the high costs of running AI-powered inventory systems, and why user experience (UX) is the only way to beat the "big guys" like StockX and GOAT. Beyond the tech, we tackle the current state of the culture—from the rise of "replica" sneakers and the "middleman" problem to the polarizing nature of politics in social media.

Detailed Summary In this episode, we dive deep into the current state of the sneaker market. We start with a controversial unboxing of the Supreme Ski Goggles and a review of the bizarre new Nike "Mind" shoe. The conversation gets real as we discuss the financial dangers of the hobby, including a massive $200k debt story and the decision to liquidate a massive Jordan 11 collection. We also debate the upcoming 2026 release calendar, including the return of the Jordan 17 Lows, the "Reimagined" series, and why we think the Jordan 1 hype cycle is hitting a low point.

Plus, watch a live $300 Supreme impulse buy that goes immediately wrong. In this episode of The 12 Hub Sneaker Podcast, we’re breaking down the entire year of Nike SB Dunk releases. We debate whether 2024 was a "trash" year for sneaker culture compared to the hype of 2025. The crew roasts the new LeBron 23 "MLK" colorway, discusses the ethical nightmare of Kanye West’s new Yeezy drops (including the controversial swastika shirts), and pays tribute to the legendary Dallas Penn. Things go off the rails when we browse the Supreme site live, leading to a ridiculous $350 purchase of snow goggles for a man who doesn't ski. We also dive into sneaker reselling ethics, the "Fresh to Debt" mindset, and why lace swapping your Jordan 11s is a crime against fashion.

We break down a $2,000 flip, the "Goat Storage" loophole you aren't using, and why Complex’s Sneaker of the Year list is wrong. In this episode of the 12 Hub Podcast, we are wrapping up the year with some massive hot takes. We start off debating the Nike ISPA line—is it high-fashion genius or just unwearable plastic? We break down the insane math behind flipping the ISPA Road Warriors (including the used split-toe socks) and whether buying back your "grails" is ever worth it. We also dive deep into the current state of streetwear, discussing why wearing full Supreme or Polo kits is a red flag, and if camo cargo shorts are officially the "old man uniform." Plus, we expose a tax-saving hack using Goat Storage that every collector needs to know. Finally, we roast the current "Sneaker of the Year" brackets, discuss the Gamma 11 marketing push, and share horror stories about shipping theft.
