Episode 45: Finding Early Sneaker Images with Guest @brandon1an

In this episode we talk with @brandon1an about finding early sneaker images from Nike and other retailers. The most well known leak was when he found images of the Kobe 6 Mambacita from a retailer and Vanessa Bryant saw them and was upset about it and called the sneakers unauthorized. We talk about that incident, getting credit from sneaker blogs, being a cookgroup admin, goals in the sneaker space, and sneaker of the year lists.
