Realest Depiction of being a Sneaker Head

As you may already know, the victories in modern day sneaker collecting are few and far in between. In that downtime, spend it commiserating with these guys as they navigate the tricky path of loving something that doesn't always love them back. The guys bring well-established, nuance takes on a variety of topics, but always bring it back to their first-ish loves of sneakers.

Like having a beer with your friends

I'm using my wife's account to write this review. Love the Pod, always listen to it on the different platforms. It's like having a beer with your friends and talking sneakers.

Hands down, one of the best sneakers podcasts out there. If you're new or old to sneakers, it doesn't matter, these guys give you the most honest opinion and even recommendations on copping or passing. They even have a discord community to help one another, you really need to get on that one too.

Let this be a reminder that I've given 5 plus 5 star reviews on iTunes. But for some reason you haven't gotten them. Even left some message in the 800 number 😂 I got boundaries issues

Still got some of those M&M's fam?

Greatest podcast of all time!

If you are a fan of burritos, secret pizza places, M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Hot Tamales, the San Antonio Spurs (Mike I'm looking at you), size 8 fitted hats, the Golden Girls, Peloton, the MCU, and Robbie occasionally taking his shirt off on camera, then this is the podcast for you! Oh and sometimes they talk about sneakers. Thank you Nick, Mike , Robbie, and Rohit for over 200 episodes of pure bliss! Shoutout to the discord fam!

Sincerely the people's champ
