Winning Isn't For Everyone - Episode 74

In this episode we talk about James Whitner not getting charged by feds and apparently signing with adidas and speculate if his relationship with Nike and Jordan will continue. We also talk about the Nike CEO John Donahoe stepping down and who’s really to blame for Nike’s decline in these last 5 years. Some other topics, we talk about StockX sneakers available at Walmart, TwoJsKicks apparently out at Urban Necessities, customizers selling fakes, and Tom Sachs back at Nike. A lot of topics! If I had more time, I woulda made a shorter podcast.

EQL's Customer Privacy Incident and Shoe Surgeon Mass Producing Counterfeit Sneakers, Allegedly - Episode 73

In this episode I cover EQL's recent customer privacy incident in full detail and explain what happened, and why it shouldn't be considered as no big deal because incidents like this could potentially be company ending events. I also talk about Nike suing The Shoe Surgeon and how coverage of the story seems to be ignoring that he's being accused of mass producing counterfeit sneakers. Allegedly.

How To Release a Collab Sneaker Part 1: Brand Theater

This episode is about how to release a sneaker from a collaborator's point of view. I'll take a look at how they can create a release strategy that suits their needs. But first they need to know what are they trying to get out of a sneaker release and what are their core values. I also evaluate why sneaker releases are the way they are, taking a look at recent releases of Action Bronson, Nina Chanel Abney, and others. I'll answer why some choose raffle, or loyalty access or first-come first-served approach. Plus a lot more! Links New Socks Available Now! shop.sockjig.com MLB Article I'm quoted in: Instant classic?

@soleofthe_sts

This is THE BEST sneaker podcast I’ve ever listened to. His subject matter is not only innovative and unique but his criticism is told from a genuine and unbiased perspective. You’re going to laugh, you’re going to disagree, he’s gonna say what you’ve been thinking, you’re gonna learn a thing or two - all of that. His content is well thought out and informative and in between episodes there’s enough heat in the catalogue to keep your podcast rotation going strong! Sockjig top 2 & he not two! Now do me a favor.. follow the pod, throw on some noise blockers, tune in and GOFYS!!! - soleofthestreets ✌🏾

The best pure sneaker pod out there. If it’s happening in the community, Sock more than likely already called it and talked about it.
