Welcome to our new Tuesday night show! Started off with some quick NFL talk, as well as what we were drinking tonight. Our agenda is a little packed, so we jumped right into upcoming releases.
First off, was the Rassvet Skate Bold pack, which looks to be a DSM London exclusive at this point. We immediately got off on a little tangent about an old Gosha Rubchinskiy controversy that just sort of disappeared. You know us. Bringing up old shit! We also mentioned the PACSUN x ASAP Rocky Slip-On and Mule Slip-On that some have been waiting for. Not our cup of tea, but still well received, which sparked another tangent about the current state of sneaker design, or lack there of. Just more “Old Head” talk.
We then talked about how we used to have so much freedom and variety to choose from back in the day. We all bought Nikes of course, but we also dabbled in Vans (at the time), as well as Asics, New Balance, Adidas, and so on…except Reebok Club C’s. You’ll have to listen to the show about that one. Basically, we miss having the options, and not having to worry about every single special release selling out, and having to purchase from the resell market. We talked about the custom bespoke options that Nike offered through their 21 Mercer store, and Bill shared his reservation card that he never got to use, that you would need, in order to gain access.
Back on topic, we discuss the Offspring UK Era that is coming this weekend, and we all want a pair, especially the porcelain tile accessory set that comes with each pair! Such a nice release. Offspring has always done well with their Vans collaborations. We spent a good amount of time talking about the upcoming X-LARGE x Vans Japan Old Skool, and went down memory lane with some of their past collabs that have all been Japan exclusives.
Kourtney Kardashian is in the Vans news this week, showing off hers, or Travis’ SE Blocks Flyer bike, while rocking some Yeezy Powerphases. All good. Her pic got like 1.9 million likes. If you wanted one of those bikes, you can pretty much forget about that now!
Fathom events is bringing back the 80’s cult classic film, RAD, to a theatre near you, for one night only! That’s right. Thurs. Oct. 14th at 7PM in your local time zone. You don’t want to miss the chance to watch this on the big screen, along with special commentary and never before seen footage. We can’t wait for this.
Dave, (@sk8supply) has a pretty nice lot of vintage Made In USA Vans up on eBay, mostly in smaller sizes, but we wanted to give him a shout-out. For the past few years he’s been selling off some crazy vintage Vans heat, and we wanted to give him a shout.
We ended our episode with a little bit of a public service announcement. A reminder if you will, to stay humble. Give before you get. Don’t expect anything, and just do shit for the fun of it, not with an end goal. Stay authentic and just be grateful, and not greedy!
You can drop in for the live Twitch stream, every Tuesday (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.
