Sneaker 360 Deals: What's Going on at Urban Necessities with Two J's Kicks and Shoe Surgeon?

In this episode, I try and break down what’s going on at Urban Necessities with Two J's Kicks and Shoe Surgeon? Shoe Surgeon business entity owns Urban Necessities, and pushed Two J's out, but still has him on the hook for business and tax debts. Allegedly. How could have Two J's Kicks signed such a bad deal? What else could be going on? And how Nike settling their lawsuit with Shoe Surgeon Inc is probably a big driver of this all collapsing.I also discuss Brendan Dunne leaving Complex and how that affects Complex going forward. Finally I answer listener questions for the remainder of the show. There's a whole lot more, a fun show as always so check it out!Timestamps00:00 Intro01:41 On Feet and Pickups02:24 Skips and Misses04:21 Better Gift Shop DN806:39 Hali and SGA Signature Sneakers08:59 Sneaker 360 Deals09:27 Urban Necessities Allegedly on the Brink of Bankruptcy10:31 Nike Settles Lawsuit with Shoe Surgeon Inc  13:51 Did Shoe Surgeon Dom Sign a 360 Deal Too?14:28 TwoJ's Kicks Signed a 360 Deal21:26 Surgeon Inc Responds22:23 Missing Pieces of the Puzzle23:47 Sneaker Rashomon29:31 Brendan Dunne Leaving Complex34:15 Tokyo 5s Releasing, Then Not Releasing, Then Releasing39:32 Listener Questions40:59 Why Aren't New Balance GRs as Good Quality as Their Collabs?46:12 Size 13 Takes48:18 What Makes a Shoe, Sneaker of the Year51:47 What Sneaker Grew on You After Release?53:42 New Balance 906058:40 Good Time to Buy Nike Stock?59:53 What Are Some Collabs Kith Won't Do?01:01:43 Do You Follow Any Non Sneaker Booms?01:03:35 Sneaker Releases with Bad Timing01:05:10 Why Didn't the Coral Studios Air Max 95 Ever Drop?01:06:53 Interesting Sneaker Raffle Stories01:08:51 Resellers Are To Blame01:11:27 What do North American Sneakerheads Think of European Sneakerheads?01:14:39 Horse/Ducks Question01:15:46 Dream Guests01:17:45 Wrestling Sneaker Collabs01:19:11 Who Would You Smack in Sneakers?
