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:

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.
