    Is Norda 001 the Air Max 1 of running? + Mallrats [Inky Steve]

    Manchester's favorite running child, Inky Steve, joins Josh again to was poetic on the intersection of Trail Culture x Sneaker Culture. We also pick a movie to characterize the intersection of the day. Air Max 1s are iconic and we believe Norda 001s have the same potential to be unchanged for decades to come. Did Nike know they had a winner from day one? Did Norda? Time will tell, but there are signs we look for to prove the 001 is already a cult classic along with Air Max 1 + Mallrats.
