Is the sneaker resale bubble finally bursting? On Episode 22 of The Sneaker Hub Podcast, we dive deep into why the market is in the toilet and why it's the best time in years to be a true collector.
We're breaking down the latest drops, including the controversial Stüssy x Nike collaboration and the incredibly underwhelming Fear of God Athletics x Adidas collection—we're not holding back on this one. Plus, we're talking about the Cool Kicks raid, the best holiday sneakers ever, and our personal pickups of the week.
Is the Jordan 4 still the king? Are retros eligible for "Sneaker of the Year"? We're chopping it up and giving our hottest takes on the state of sneaker culture today.
