00:00 – Intro
We kick off the episode and preview another packed week of sneaker business, culture, and controversy.

43:16 – StockX
We take a look at the new tactics StockX appears to be using to attract resellers. From incentives to market positioning, we discuss whether these moves can rebuild trust and keep sellers engaged.

1:10:44 – Nike Job Cuts
Reports suggest Nike may be making more job cuts. We break down what this could mean for innovation, internal culture, and Nike’s long-term strategy in an increasingly competitive market.

1:21:47 – Off-White vs VAA
We compare Off-White and VAA, discussing the differences in design language, cultural impact, hype, and how each resonates with sneakerheads today.

1:31:00 – Michael Jordan & Unreleased Js
It looks like Michael Jordan has been wearing more unreleased Jordan sneakers. We discuss what he’s been spotted in, what it means for future releases, and how MJ still drives sneaker headlines.

1:41:39 – Under Armour
Has Under Armour made another mistake? We examine recent moves, brand direction, and whether the company is missing key opportunities once again.

1:50:01 – The Brick Moves On
The Brick By Brick campaign from Nigel Sylvester keeps evolving. This week the ad campaign goes full Tetris mode and even crushes a BMW. We break down the storytelling, creativity, and impact of one of the most talked-about campaigns right now.

1:58:30 – Sneaker Court of Public Opinion
It’s time for Sneaker Court. We take bad sneaker behavior and questionable industry moves to trial and deliver our verdicts.

A quick-fire roundup of smaller sneaker stories from the week — leaks, rumors, restocks, and notable quick hits.

2:18:05 – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
