Episode 41 "Full Staff"

The full staff is back for Episode 41, and we had a lot to catch up on. We kick things off talking about reunion weekend, being outside for three days straight, and somehow thinking going back to work Monday was a good idea. 😂 From there, we get back into the “Mexican Jordans” conversation from last week and talk about sneaker culture, growing up wearing what our parents bought us, and how certain Jordans got labeled as cool—or not cool—over time. Then we get into everything happening in sneakers: the return of the Air Bakings, these crazy retro prices, Kith’s made-to-order releases, Travis Scott’s Odyssey merch and sneakers, Yeezy making its way back into retailers, and why paying $200+ every time a shoe drops is getting out of hand. We also run through some of the big August releases and talk about how far resale prices have fallen on certain Jordans. We also talk Ladies Love Laces, upcoming sneaker events, WNBA All-Star Weekend, new signature shoes, Teyanna Taylor still being in the Shoe of the Year conversation, and Giannis leaving Milwaukee—and whether that mural should stay up. Plus, we get into Chris Brown’s tour, Tank and Mario, upcoming concerts, movies, podcasts, and everything else happening in the culture. And before we get out of here, we talk about taking Sole Talk LIVE later this year and tease the upcoming Ladies Love Laces ticket giveaway. Sneakers. Music. Culture. Random conversations. Full staff back in the building. This is Sole Talk. Episode 41. Follow Sole Talk Podcast: Instagram & TikTok: @Soletalk.podcast Hosts: Duch – @everydayduch Byrd Brook – @byrdbrook B.O. – @b_owens
