#23 - Ari Saal Forman

Ari Saal Forman is widely known for releasing one of the most legendary and controversial sneakers of all time, the Ari Menthol 10s. He also created one of the most important Hip-Hop/Graffiti publications in existence called OnTheGo Magazine alongside Steve "Espo" Powers, which down the line years later became OnTheGo Marketing that has a client list most would drool over. I could go on and on regarding his importance to me as well as the culture as a whole, but more importantly, he's a friend and one of the wisest people I've ever come across. There are various short documentary pieces done on him, articles, and he has also participated in many interviews, podcasts etc. regarding his involvement in the sneaker space. However, there is much more to him than sneakers. Ari is very wise and for good reason, as he's lived a long rough life. He has touched on it sparingly in various interviews but never in full depth. I wanted to give the world another side of Ari, the vulnerable, detailed, emotional, and intellectual side. This podcast, although slightly touching on the inevitable sneaker talk, focuses on everything else in between that you have never heard before. The philosophical, spiritual and astral intellect that makes up his very DNA. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I am, as there is 4 hours of knowledge jam packed into this episode!
