    Episode 42 "Take 2"

    This week, Duch, Byrd Brook, and B.O. catch up on a busy summer before getting into everything happening in sneaker culture. They talk about the return of Yeezys, Westside Gunn’s upcoming sneaker release, Kanye’s impact on fashion, and whether his influence on style has surpassed Jay-Z’s. The conversation also gets into the recent allegations involving sneaker resellers and Nike employees, backdooring and the resale game, plus whether custom sneakers should be looked at as art or just another way for brands to steal creators’ ideas. Then we get into the second addiction every sneakerhead understands: HATS. 😂 From buying hats specifically to match sneakers to remembering old-school spots like Fanfare, the crew talks about how collecting kicks can accidentally turn into collecting an entire closet full of hats. We also talk upcoming releases, Air Force 1s, Jellyfish, Kobes, Penny’s, Air Max 95s, StockX horror stories, sneaker nostalgia vs. hype, and how we decide which shoes are actually worth buying. Plus, Duch gives an update on the Everyday Milwaukee Summer tees, and the crew previews what’s coming next as summer winds down and sneaker season starts heating up. Tap in with Sole Talk Podcast Episode 42 and let us know: What comes first for you—the shoes or the hat? 👟🧢 Follow @soletalk.podcast and keep tagging, sharing, and supporting the show!

    Episode 41 "Full Staff"

    The full staff is back for Episode 41, and we had a lot to catch up on. We kick things off talking about reunion weekend, being outside for three days straight, and somehow thinking going back to work Monday was a good idea. 😂 From there, we get back into the “Mexican Jordans” conversation from last week and talk about sneaker culture, growing up wearing what our parents bought us, and how certain Jordans got labeled as cool—or not cool—over time. Then we get into everything happening in sneakers: the return of the Air Bakings, these crazy retro prices, Kith’s made-to-order releases, Travis Scott’s Odyssey merch and sneakers, Yeezy making its way back into retailers, and why paying $200+ every time a shoe drops is getting out of hand. We also run through some of the big August releases and talk about how far resale prices have fallen on certain Jordans. We also talk Ladies Love Laces, upcoming sneaker events, WNBA All-Star Weekend, new signature shoes, Teyanna Taylor still being in the Shoe of the Year conversation, and Giannis leaving Milwaukee—and whether that mural should stay up. Plus, we get into Chris Brown’s tour, Tank and Mario, upcoming concerts, movies, podcasts, and everything else happening in the culture. And before we get out of here, we talk about taking Sole Talk LIVE later this year and tease the upcoming Ladies Love Laces ticket giveaway. Sneakers. Music. Culture. Random conversations. Full staff back in the building. This is Sole Talk. Episode 41. Follow Sole Talk Podcast: Instagram & TikTok: @Soletalk.podcast Hosts: Duch – @everydayduch Byrd Brook – @byrdbrook B.O. – @b_owens

    Ep 40 "We Are Culture"

    The sneaker world has been wild this week and we had a lot to talk about. We kicked things off by catching up, talking birthday celebrations, what we had on feet, and the struggle of sneaker boxes falling over before getting into the biggest story in the culture—Nike employees, backdooring, counterfeit shoes, and everything going on with Cool Kicks. We also talked about Sean Wotherspoon's Air Max return, Travis Scott's pre-order rollout, Kith's made-to-order releases, and whether this is the future of buying sneakers. Plus we debated the upcoming Boyz II Men 11s, Penny vs. Barkley's signature lines, WNBA All-Star Weekend, Wale's sneaker picks, and all the latest releases we're looking forward to. One of the biggest conversations of the episode was the viral "Mexican Jordans" video and what it says about sneaker culture, accessibility, and how different communities experience the game. We also took a trip down memory lane talking about the old Foot Locker Friends & Family days, employee discounts, weekly paychecks, and just how different sneaker shopping used to be. To wrap it up, we celebrated hitting 40 episodes, talked about what's next for Sole Talk, upcoming guests, live events, and thanked everyone that's been supporting the show every week.
