The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 16 (10.26.21)

What’s up peeps! Welcome back. Get ready for our longest episode yet, but honestly it’s a great one. You’ll want to listen to the whole thing! We start off with some great beer talk, and this past Sunday’s party at the Burgeon Oasis. It was an amazing time, and Bill and Joey both got to heap praise on each other for it. Get a room!

This week’s releases include Haven’s Lampin VLT LX, Shanghai’s Avenue & Sons Skate Sid. We went off on a wild tangent about Vans releases in Asia, shouting out Tony and Eason from VansFans China, and some randomness about Made In USA Vans, watefulness in sneakers, and how can we change the mindset about trying to prolong the life of them through various sole-swap alternatives. Italy’s Napapijri gets a collab. We offer up some great Vans Winter slippers.

We share a few Halloween themed pairs. We talk scary movies, haunted places growing up, and if we believe in ghosts. The cult Heaven’s Gate came up. We discussed the Nike SB Mummy Dunk for our “This Ain’t NikeTalk” segment this week.

Things are looking up for our Offspring ceramic tiles debacle, so stay tuned to see if we get em. Joey finally got his NOAH One-Piece Authentics!

We give Dionte Johnson and his Sole Classics team major love this week, inspired by their Nike x Social Status “Strawberry Milk” Dunk release, which was so amazing. Listen to the pod, if only for this segment.  Solid dude right there, setting examples for all of us.

You can drop in for the live Twitch stream, every Tuesday (10PM CDT / 8PM PDT), or on our Youtube channel. Audio formats can be found on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and Anchor.
