Welcome back to the Podcast

In this episode, we dive into some of the biggest conversations happening in sneakers right now — from Stephen Curry’s post–Under Armour sneaker choices to rumoured Jordan collaborations, brand expansion moves, and a hard look at whether certain silhouettes even need to exist. As always, we wrap it up with Sneaker Court and the latest quick-fire news.

🕒 Episode Breakdown
00:00 – Intro

We kick things off by setting the agenda for the episode and touching on the biggest sneaker headlines of the week before jumping into the main discussions.

39:28 – Stephen Watch (Post–Under Armour Sneakers)

We take a deep look at Stephen Curry’s sneaker rotation since leaving Under Armour. From what he’s been spotted wearing to what those choices could signal, we discuss whether Curry is simply experimenting or quietly auditioning brands during his sneaker free-agent phase. We also debate which brands make the most sense for him moving forward.

50:51 – J Balvin x Jordan 4 (Rumours)

Next up, we break down the buzz around a rumoured new J Balvin Jordan 4. We discuss early speculation, how it could fit into Balvin’s previous Jordan releases, and whether this collab still has the same excitement it once did. Is this another hit in the making, or is the magic wearing off?

59:18 – Adidas Baseball

We switch lanes and look at Adidas’ push into baseball, examining the new line, athlete endorsements, and how Adidas is positioning itself in a space traditionally dominated by other brands. We also talk about why performance footwear expansion matters for brand relevance.

1:05:55 – Jordan 3 RM (Is It Necessary?)

At this point, we question the existence of the Jordan 3 RM. We break down the design, intended audience, and market strategy behind the model, asking the honest question: Is this silhouette actually needed, or is it just more product noise?

We take a fresh look at the Air Force 1 Def Jam sneaker, discussing its design, cultural significance, and how well it represents the legacy of Def Jam Recordings. We also talk about whether this release feels authentic or simply nostalgic branding.
