Episode 16 is here, and we're welcoming our very first woman guest, the one and only Imanic (@FamousEmonic)! She chops it up with the crew about her Queens roots, the hustle of juggling two jobs and family life, and her OG approach to sneaker collecting in a world full of hype.
The conversation goes everywhere, from the problem with clout-chasing and resellers to the real reason people are mad about the new Shattered Backboards. We also get into fitted hat struggles, the evolution of body standards, the wild Awake release drama, and whether it's ever okay to put your sneakers in the microwave. Tap in for a hilarious and insightful conversation that proves the culture is about much more than just shoes.
