Welcome back to the Podcast

In this episode, we dive into some of the biggest conversations happening across sneakers, business, and culture right now — from the future of the Jordan 1 and A Ma Maniére’s latest Nike collab to Anthony Edwards’ AE2 buzz, eBay’s Depop acquisition, AI lawyers, and the ongoing tension between Steph Curry and Under Armour.

This one blends sneaker history, brand strategy, tech disruption, and real industry drama.

00:00 – Intro
We set the tone for the episode and preview a packed lineup of sneaker debates, brand moves, and business shake-ups.

1:02:28 – Jordan 1 (Can Jordan Brand Maintain the Hype?)
We break down the cultural impact of the Air Jordan 1 and examine whether the silhouette still holds the same power it once did. With saturation, resale cooling, and endless colourways, we ask the big question:
👉 How can Jordan Brand maintain the status quo without burning out the model?

We discuss storytelling, collaborations, and what the next evolution of the Jordan 1 could look like.

1:20:32 – V5 RNR x A Ma Maniére (The Whitaker Group)
We take a close look at the new V5 RNR collaboration from The Whitaker Group and Nike under the A Ma Maniére umbrella.
We break down the design language, rollout, and whether this collab carries the same cultural weight as previous A Ma Maniére Jordan projects.

1:30:35 – Ant-Man & the AE2
We discuss Anthony Edwards and the hype building around the AE2. Is Adidas building its next signature superstar correctly? We talk performance appeal, marketing, and whether Edwards has the personality to carry a long-term sneaker line.

1:44:14 – eBay Buys Depop
Major resale news: eBay acquires Depop.
We unpack what this means for sneaker resellers, Gen-Z fashion culture, and whether this signals a bigger consolidation in the resale market.

1:58:06 – AI Lawyers (Good or Dangerous?)
We shift into tech disruption — why are people using AI lawyers, and what does this mean for contracts, brand disputes, and influencer agreements? Is this innovation or a risky shortcut?

2:16:26 – Steph Curry vs Under Armour
We revisit the tension between Stephen Curry and Under Armour.
Did Under Armour allegedly take control of Curry Brand’s social following? What really happened behind the scenes? We break down the conflict, brand loyalty, and what this could mean for Curry’s future.

2:32:16 – Sneaker Court of Public Opinion
It’s time for Sneaker Court. We put misbehavior, questionable business practices, and sneaker drama on trial — and deliver our verdicts.

2:52:38 – Discount Topics
A rapid-fire roundup of smaller but important sneaker stories — leaks, rumors, restocks, and trending conversations.

3:07:45 – Outro
We close out the episode with final reflections and what to watch for next week.
