MoMA x PATTA JORDAN 1 & SNEAKER OF THE YEAR CONTROVERSY! This week, we're diving into another packed episode of sneaker news, upcoming releases, collaborations and controversy! We start by taking a look at the latest Union x Nike Dunk Low, including the possibility of a mule-inspired design. Is Union pushing sneaker design forward, or are we seeing another example of brands experimenting with silhouettes nobody asked for? Next, we head to Japan to discuss Atmos, its latest Japan-exclusive release and rumours surrounding the potential return of the legendary Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 for the Air Max line's 40th anniversary. We also explore the MoMA and Patta Air Jordan 1 collaborations before getting into a major debate: Did the wrong Victor win Sneaker of the Year? We compare the Victor Victor collaboration against Victor Solomon's sneaker project and question how sneaker awards are judged. As always, we finish with Sneaker Court of Public Opinion, Discount Topics and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. ⏱️ TIMECODES 00:00 – Intro We kick off another week of sneaker news, industry stories, upcoming releases and everything happening across sneaker culture. 1:41:02 – Union x Nike Dunk Low: Is It a Mule? 👟 Union is back with another Nike collaboration, and this time we're looking at a new Union Dunk Low that could feature a mule-inspired design. We discuss the silhouette, the creative direction and whether Union can continue delivering exciting collaborations. Are sneaker mules becoming the next major footwear trend, or are brands simply running out of ideas? 1:56:25 – Atmos: The Return of the Legendary Air Max 1? 🐘 We take a look at an upcoming Atmos Japan-exclusive sneaker before discussing rumours of a possible return of the iconic Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 for the Air Max line's 40th anniversary. The Atmos Air Max 1 holds a special place in sneaker history, but should Nike bring back legendary collaborations or leave them in the past? Would a retro recreate the excitement of the original, or could it damage the legacy? 2:06:05 – MoMA & Patta Air Jordan 1 Collaborations We explore the latest MoMA and Patta Air Jordan 1 collaborations and discuss how both projects approach one of the most recognisable silhouettes in sneaker history. From design and storytelling to cultural relevance, we debate whether these collaborations bring something genuinely new to the Jordan 1. With so many Jordan 1 releases, what does it take for a collaboration to stand out in today's market? 2:14:18 – Victor vs Victor: Did the Wrong Sneaker Win? 🏆 It's time for a serious Sneaker of the Year debate! We compare the Victor Victor collaboration with Victor Solomon's collaboration and ask whether the right sneaker received the recognition. What should determine Sneaker of the Year? Is it design, craftsmanship, cultural impact, popularity, innovation or exclusivity? We break down both projects, compare their strengths and question whether sneaker awards genuinely represent the wider sneaker community. 2:30:49 – 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. GUILTY or NOT GUILTY? 2:34:35 – Discount Topics Quick-fire time! We cover the smaller but still important sneaker stories from the week, including upcoming releases, leaks, rumours, collaborations and industry news. Not every story needs a full segment, but that doesn't mean we don't have an opinion! 2:56:20 – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly We round up another week in sneaker culture: 🟢 THE GOOD — the biggest win of the week. 🔴 THE BAD — the biggest disappointment. 😬 THE UGLY — the moment we'd rather forget. Three categories. No sitting on the fence! 2:57:26 – Outro We wrap up another episode and look ahead to what's coming next in sneakers. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION 🔥 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & turn on notifications for weekly sneaker news, upcoming releases, sneaker business, fashion and honest conversations about everything happening in sneaker culture. https://discord.gg/5994kDxA Hope you enjoy make sure you follow us on all the social platforms and pateron @lovekickscustom @808kicks_atl @shoedogpodcast
