Customer Reviews
On the tip of something big
Since Chris’ lane has shoes, comics, action figure, growing up in the 90s, I am rooting for this podcast’s growth. Great potential. Definitely.. “in effect”.
Great show
Grew up in the 80s/90’s sneaker world so hearing Chris tell stories, I can relate to all of it. Appreciate all you and your chick do for us sneakerheads. Hopefully get a Reebok The Blast all star game colorway love on the show one day.
Great Special Interests Podcast
Sure, they still talk a lot about sneakers and basketball. They are a lot more candid here regarding interests and their personal lives. Their chemistry is great as it is in the YouTube reviews, but there’s just more instances of it. If you are at all enthused about comics, urban legends, family, or popculture with a penchant for basketball or sneakers; you have found the right podcast.
