The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 32 – Defcons, Uprise, Engineered Garments, and more WTF from MSCHF (4.19.22)

After a few technical difficulties, we’re back with episode 32B. Let’s try this again! We’re trying out Zoom for this episode, so if it sounds different, that’s why. We’ll get it dialed in by ep. 50 I’m sure. Baseball is back, and we couldn’t be more stoked. Bill’s bday is approaching and a gathering-turned-house party is in the works. Eddie and Moms is going to a country music festival and are gonna see Willy Nelson while he’s still performing. The boys are drinking Cutwaters, Stouts, and Tea for the evening.

Our shoe release news is a little dated due to our podcast issues, but we talked about Defcons, Uprise Half Cabs, Palace x Vault x Calvin Klein cK1 Authentics, Engineered Garments Era VLTs, and the Yucca fins x Vans Surf collaboration. Lots of stuff to catch up on.

In other news, Bill is still waiting for his first order of Mooneyes Vans.  WTF is up Vans?

Vans goes after MSCHF and their stupid Wavy Old-Skool wannabes. Why an established rapper like Tyga would even want to associate himself with this whack shit is beyond us. Stop supporting these bootleg sneaker brands. Fakes are fakes no matter how you look at it. It’s whack. Don’t be a sucker.

For Show & Tell, Bill got one of those cool wooden Vans Family signs from Tintin. Joey picked up a coffee table book by Glenn Friedman of the punk rock band Black Flag. Eddie picked up a few Marc Jacobs Vaults from 2006, in DS condition. There’s no better time to start scooping up older Marc Jacobs Vaults, while their prices are still reasonable. Thanks for joining us tonight!
