Anatomy of a Sneaker Scam

In this episode, I recap the recent Undefeated 4 that heavily featured EQL. I also recap the Awake 5 release and talk through some of the conspiracy theories about numbered pairs and backdooring. I also do a deep dive into the Anatomy of a Sneaker Scam using the recent Awake 5 FNF link scam as the example. Finally I discuss my part in a heated Twitter Space about this scam. Timestamps00:00 - Intro04:31 - On Feet05:38 - Pickups: None, Misses: A Lot09:28 - Recent Releases09:41 - Vans Stimmy10:43 - Cheap YZY Slides11:35 - Delta Airlines AF112:43 - Air Max 100014:03 - Upcoming Releases: Kith x adidas x Clarks14:48 - Yu-Gi-Oh!
