Customer Reviews
👍
Not your typical sneaker podcast. Informative with varying opinions and thoughts around sneakers, fashion, tech, etc.
Informative and fun! Worth a listen.
Outside the Box consists of the trio Tiffany Beers, Nick Engvall, and Jacques Slade, each bring a very unique and informative view to the world of sneakers and beyond. The three have great chemistry with each other and there is rarely a dull moment during each podcast. Tiffany has working experience as an Innovator at Nike, Nick has a long background in the sneaker world through blogs and brands, while Jacques has the unique ability to open random boxes that arrive at his house and talk about what’s in them! But on a serious note, I’ve listened to every podcast and can honestly say I’ve learned something new every time. In the world we live in today, it’s really just nice listening to 3 genuinely nice individuals talk about what they are passionate about. And Kustoo’s relationship advice is an added bonus!
Well Rounded and Next Level
The podcast is amazing. The dynamic between the trio is truly great. They all bring their own uniqueness to the table which covers every realm Outside the Box..keep up the great work guys.
