    Today we talkin’ Kicks! I hope you’ve been well and if not, remember that all that is not will be.  This week on Thoughts for the Sole, I’m breaking down my favorite sneaker pick-ups of 2025 (so far), from surprise drops to long-awaited heat. It’s already been a strong year, and the best might still be ahead. I’m also sharing a powerful moment I had with the Adidas Cornerstone Community, a space created by 82. Purple and hosted by Lee Baron. The energy, the intention and the unity was all so amazing.  #PressPlay and tap in.  Thank you for taking the time to tune in to today’s episode.

    Sneaker History: Mike G.

    Today we talkin’ Kicks! Caught up with Mike G. from The Sneaker History Podcast, one of the historians  in the game. We talked about when he first fell in love with kicks, those early days working at the shop (when the check went straight to kicks and rent), and how he feels about the current state of this game we love. We also got into what it has meant for me to rediscover and redefine my passion for this space. #PressPlay Thank you for taking the time out to tune into today's show.
