A Ma Maniere and Sneaker Subscriptions

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 17:31

A Ma Maniere cemented their legacy as one of the most popular collaborators in the game with the news of their "While You Were Sleeping" collection; a collection of six silhouettes. Is Nike trying to tell us something with this? Rumor has it that Nike, trying desperately to gain back the sneaker consumer, is toying around with a sneaker subscription model. Matt breaks down what both of these news items could mean for the culture.

Nigel Sylvester and the Jordan 4 RM

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 17:20

Nike remixed the Jordan 4 and called it the Jordan 4 RM. The Nigel Sylvester colorway sold out fast and turned heads — but the bigger question isn't whether the shoe is hot. It's whether Nike is using this silhouette to push culture forward or playing it safe with a new label on a familiar formula. Matt discusses the RM, Nigel Sylvester's role in the release, and what this shoe says about Jordan Brand's direction.

Adidas

Wednesday, November 17, 2021 • Duration 23:04

In the landscape of sneakers Nike tends to dominate the space, but Adidas is right behind it. Adidas' long history goes well beyond today's hype market as its ties to the athletic community stem back to the 1920s. While it may not seem as if Adidas is on the same level as Nike and Jordan brand, learning the rich history of the company will give a better perspective as to its true stamp on sneakers today.
