We look at eight designers reimagining the legendary Air Jordan 1, break down the latest New Era x Timberland collaboration, and ask a serious question about the new New Balance 2040 V5 — is nearly $400 simply too much for a New Balance?

Then it’s time for Sneaker Court of Public Opinion, Discount Topics and our weekly Good, Bad & Ugly.

We look at the different approaches, concepts and designs and discuss whether reimagining such an iconic silhouette actually pushes Jordan Brand forward. Does the Jordan 1 need fresh creative energy, or should certain classics simply be left alone? Most importantly, which of these designs would we actually want to see receive a retail release? 1:31:59 – New Era x Timberland We take a look at the new New Era x Timberland collaboration. Timberland continues to have a major presence across streetwear and fashion, and this latest project brings together two brands with deep connections to hip-hop, street culture and heritage style. We discuss the collection, whether the collaboration makes sense and where Timberland currently sits within the wider footwear conversation. 1:39:02 – New Balance 2040 V5: Is $400 Too Much? New Balance continues moving further into the premium sneaker market, but the New Balance 2040 V5 comes with a price approaching $400. So we have to ask: has New Balance gone too far? We break down the sneaker, materials, design and positioning while debating how much consumers are realistically willing to pay for a premium New Balance. At what point does a sneaker stop being premium sportswear and start competing directly with luxury footwear? 1:45:03 – Yeezy 800 We take a look at the latest footwear coming from Yeezy — the new Yeezy 800 silhouette. We discuss the design, Kanye’s current footwear direction and whether the 800 has the potential to become another recognisable Yeezy model. Without Adidas behind the brand, can Yeezy create another silhouette capable of having the cultural impact of the Yeezy Boost era? 1:54:33 – Sneaker Court of Public Opinion ⚖️ COURT IS IN SESSION. We take the week’s worst sneaker behaviour, questionable decisions and community madness to Sneaker Court. We hear the case, examine the evidence and deliver our verdict. GUILTY or NOT GUILTY? You decide in the comments. 2:04:10 – Discount Topics It’s time for our quick-fire roundup of the smaller but still important stories from around the sneaker world. Releases, rumours, leaks, industry moves and everything else that didn’t make the main topics gets covered here. 2:21:00 – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly We finish the week by picking out: 🟢 THE GOOD — something sneaker culture got right. 🔴 THE BAD — the disappointment of the week. 😬 THE UGLY — something that should probably have never happened. No sitting on the fence! 2:22:03 – Outro We close out another episode and look ahead to what the sneaker world has waiting for us next. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION 👉 Which of the reimagined Jordan 1s would you actually buy? 👉 Is $400 too much for a New Balance sneaker? 👉 What do you think of the Yeezy 800? 👉 Should Jordan Brand experiment more with its classic silhouettes? 🔥 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & turn on notifications for weekly sneaker news, release discussions, fashion, industry stories and honest conversations about everything happening in sneaker culture.
