First off, we’re just gonna come out and admit that we don’t know what the fuck is going on with our recordings. This week, Eddie has this weird echo. I (Bill), had to join in via my phone and airpods, so I sound different, and Joe came in crystal clear, even when he thought he was muted, lol! Sorry. We suck. We know it. This was supposed to be the “collaboration wishlist” episode, but we got majorly side tracked. We went down a rabbit hole of sorts, talking about our earliest memories of buying sneakers, mainly Nike SB, cause that’s where we came from. We also discussed more things we just don’t understand about the mainstream sneaker culture, and our own experiences at the time. Some of y’all were there as well, so enjoy a little bit of Nike talk, but remember, “This Ain’t Nike Talk!”
So, this is the last week for 31 Days of Vans, so we will have to start finding something new to open the show with. Help us come up with some topics! We discussed the Civilist Skate Sk8-Low that came out. Bill shared his recent XXL Bedwin Hoodie come-up, and pleaded that Vault stockists order more XXL’s in all the Vault apparel, cause it seems to disappear first. Eddie showed his pair of Bedwin & the Heartbreakers Multi-color Authentic. The Metallica pack came and went, and seem to have all ended up on eBay. No shocker there. Bill also shared a Vans Customs Skate Old Skool that he made, in the classic STV Navy colorway, but adding a few checkerboard graphics to it.
We gave a shop shout-out to Eddie’s home state of Tennessee’s first Vault retailer, Rooted, who carry a bunch of the high fashion labels that are known today.
Lastly, we remind you all that there will be no episode this coming Thursday, as we’ll be meeting up for a live podcast at Blends Costa Mesa, for a Waffle Heads Summit on Saturday August 7th at 3PM, featuring Clayton (@wearingwaffles), Eddie (@strictlywaffles), Bill (@djguamstyles @underthepalms), Dave (@nu_dav), and a bunch more of our homies. Please come down and chop it up with us!
You can drop in for the live Twitch stream, every Thursday (10PM CDT / 8PM PDT), or you can get caught up later on, by viewing us on our Youtube channel. Audio formats can be found on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and Anchor.
